I just bought a few unissued M1 carbine mags from Midway still in original wrapping for $25 each. Thought some of you might be interested. Edited to remove link. See below message by Willie Lowman. Sorry for the error. I didn’t realize I had posted any link.

That's how a homeowner described a home invader who killed his daughter, wounded the homeowner, and then fled when the homeowner returned fire. The invader climbed scaffolding to break through an upstairs window, force open the door to the young woman's bedroom, and shoot her several times...

I’ve seen a proliferation of scam websites in the last year and a half, both firearms related and non-firearms related. And I have seen several posts on gun boards asking if specific sites are scams. So, I thought I would pass along some tips on how to spot scam firearms-related websites. Many...

There is a story about a lawyer off her rocker (my opinion) at the ABA's website. It includes a stock photo of a revolver that I am unfamiliar with. Any ideas? Story and photo at...

Taking nothing away from the newer lines of subcompacts like the Springfield Hellcat or the SW Shield Plus, but I just can't see what all the excitement is about. They don't seem to be any smaller than guns already out there. I had not seriously considered buying one of the newer higher...

Per Fox News, Biden has ordered: 1. DOJ to promulgate a rule within 30 days banning "ghost" guns; 2. DOJ to propose a new rule on gun braces within 60 days; 3. DOJ to propose action on "community violence intervention," whatever that means (I would suggest enforcing current firearms laws and...

I bought a new-model Colt Python a little while back and decided to dress it up even more than it already was. So, I added some Altamont grips, complete with little ponies and a carved holster from Simply Rugged. The holster color is what they call "ox-blood" and I really like it. They had...

The Santa Clara County Undersheriff and a Captain in the sheriff's office have been charged with shaking down applicants for a concealed carry license. As most of you may know, California is a "may issue" state that leaves issuance to the discretion of local officials. Here, the two officials...

I really dithered back and forth about it, but I finally decided to buy a 2020 Python (4.25 inch barrel) from an area dealer. He has it on hold and I'm picking it up Tuesday. And I did something normally against my principles, agreeing to pay over MSRP. Why? Because I really wanted a first-year...

Justice Ginsburg passed away today. Some of her policies aside, she was a pioneer for women generally and especially for women in law. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has vowed to fill the vacancy and the other side is going to fight like hell to sabotage the effort anyway they can. The...

Target USA Sports sells ammo from various manufacturers but has anyone used their store brand ammo? I know I'm a bit late in asking because I just ordered a thousand rounds of 9mm. I didn't really need it, but range-grade 9mm has been scarce so I went ahead and ordered some. So, how does it...

Yep, there was a bear sighted and video recorded where I live---Lexington, Ky. :eek: https://www.kentucky.com/news/local/counties/fayette-county/article243926042.html#storylink=mainstage_lead I've joked in this forum and elsewhere that I bought my DW 10mm 1911 because a black bear had been...

In light of the below, do test results through Clear Ballistic Gel have any value? If so, how should we use them? I've always known that ballistic results from Clear Ballistic Gelatin were only approximations of testing through 10% calibrated organic gelatin. However, I recently discovered that...

The Supreme Court has relisted ten Second Amendment cases following dismissal of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York. The Court had been holding the cases pending the outcome of of NY State Rifle & Pistol. There's a very brief description of the cases at Scotus Blog...

I picked up another first generation SW Shield in 9mm today at Bud's Gunshop (local to me). The Shield is one of my regular carry pistols. It's relatively easy to conceal and I shoot it well. I normally don't buy two of the same handgun but couldn't pass it up for the price --- $219 after...
