    Longshot in .40 S&W

    I'm looking for max velocity with 155 XTP and 155 STHP bullets in .40 SW&W for a Glock 22 with Bar-Sto custom barrel. Always used HS-6 in my 9MMs and 38s, but Hodgdon shows very much higher velocity with longshot. (1300FPS). Does anyone here have personal experience with Longshot in the .40...

    Stocking up

    IMHO, now (this year) is a good time to stock up on hi-cap magazines and foreign MilSurp ammo. (Especially 7.62X39, 7.62X54R and 5.45X39) After 2008, availability may be somewhat limited!:p

    Police officers duty/judgement

    Police (and armed citizens) may not, in general, shoot an unarmed fleeing felon to effect an arrest. In some states, if the officer can articulate probale cause why allowing this suspect to escape would constitute an "immediate and real" threat to the public, he may shoot. I'm curious about...

    I recently read an article on these in American Rifleman. I did some research on the internet, and 8 different sellers all had them priced with plus or minus $5 of $450.:mad: I was under the impression that the old anti-competition "fair trade" doctrine had been outlawed.:) Does anyone know...

    pre-68 Beretta .22 LR imports

    If anyone has an old Gun Digest, or Shooters Bible from before 1968, I am trying to find out the name/model number of the little Beretta .22 LR pistols with 4 inch barrels. IIRC, these pistols were the same size, or nearly the same size as the little Jetfire and Minx, but had the longer...

    Prudence or paranoia????

    After readng several "caliber wars" threads, I started to comtemplate these situations. A small handgun in the holster or pocket, no spare ammo, when going to the symphony/theatre/nice reastaurant. Prudent or paranoid? A "service" type handgun in a holster when going to the convenience...

    Medium sized 22

    I remember years ago that several manufcturers, notably Beretta and Walther, made small DA .22 autos, about the size of a PP or PPK. These were excellent little trail guns. Today, all I can find are guns like the SIG Mosquito and Walther P22 that are much larger, or the Beretta Bobcat that is...

    Hk 416

    Just watched "Future Weapons" on discovery channel. It seems thast HK is now making a " product improved" version of the M-16.:) I guess all of the other designs are out the window, and they've finally realized that the M-16 platform is the world's wide "gold standard" and they've figured out...

    Will the .30-06 stop a man?

    During he 50s, when I was growing up in a small town in the deep south, almost all of the "men" that I knew were WW2 veterans. I'm Sure that I heard at least a hundred stories from these vets, mostly marines that had served in the Pacific, about how those dad-burned steel jacket bullets from...

    Where does it end?

    :rolleyes: Here's a thought. :rolleyes: The trend these days seems toward shorter, shorter, or even shortest possible magnum rifle cartridges. The problem is that many of these are belted, which does not enhance accuracy. Why not shorten and neck down the .416 Rigby case to .308 length and...
