I have children in the house, so having a loaded shotgun in the house for home defense is out of the question. I have two pistols in quick-access pistol safes. I can be armed in a matter of seconds, in two different places in my home. All of my long guns are in a long gun safe (dial type...

Does anyone know what happened to the Knoxx pump shotgun conversion? They used to have something (Sidewinder, I think it was called) that you could convert your 500/870 to accept a proprietary box (6 rounds) or drum (10 rounds) mag. I was just on their site and I don't see it. What happened...

Hi All: I hope you guys can help me. Let me give you a little background on me. I've been loading for a little over a year. I've loaded a couple of thousand rounds of 40S&W, 10mm, and 9mm in the short time I've been rolling my own. I've been using Ranier plated bullets of varying weights...

Hi All: I've been loading pistol cartridges (40S&W, 10mm, 9mm) for about a year. Two months ago, I started loading .308. So far, everything has gone perfectly. Now, I'm loading .223 for my AR and Mini-14. When I look into the primer pockets of LC headstamped and FC headstamped brass...

Hi All: I've been the type of guy who's been happy just going out to the range, making noise, and putting military surplus ammo in a 3-6 inch hole at 100 yards with open sights. I've just recently acquired a Remington 700P LTR (20" fluted barrel, .308 Winchester). I've watched bench rest...

Thinking about adding to my collection. I've bought 10 guns this year. :D For my next one, I just want to spend a couple of hundred bucks. I'm thinking about a Marlin or Savage 17HM2. Haven't decided on bolt or semi-auto. I just want a flat shooting, fairly accurate plinker. What can...

Has anyone ever used one of these from EGW? In another post, we've been comiserating over loading 40S&W. I'd like to see what you guys think before plunking 22 bucks plus shipping. I'm currently using RCBS and Lee dies for 40S&W and 10mm for my Glock 20 and the 40S&W conversion barrel.

Hi all: Here's my dilemma. Every gun show I go to in Northern California has Butler Creek pistol grip folding stocks on sale for the Ruger Mini-30 and the 10-22. I want one of each. Cheaper-Than-Dirt won't sell me either one of these because I live in California. But I have them on order...

Every now and then, I see someone shooting an AR-15 type rifle with detachable mags. I know you can't get one now in California. But, are these guys with these rifles OK, legally? If these guys aren't LEOs, can they be shooting these? Just curious. And please, no posts telling me to move.

I just finished loading my first 5 bullets. 10mm, 4.1 grains of HP-38 behind a 180gr Rainier Plated bullet. Still have to wait another 6 days to pick up my Glock 20, though. :mad: I have some questions. 1: Should I go ahead and work up some other loads? I have 3 other types of bullets...

Hi All: I just recently received an email from a buddy of mine. He's an Army Chaplain in Afganistan. He started his email with this: "Just wanted to say hi and thanks for your prayers while we are downrange. Afghanistan is a very interesting country with lots of dangerous places." I wrote...

Does anyone know if hi-cap mags and assault rifles will be legal in California any time soon? There was a sunset clause in Clinton's national ban. What about California?

Does anyone know what happens to ammo in a fire? Do bullets go whizzing about? Seems to me that the object with the most resistance to motion (the heavier object) will tend to stay put (relatively) and the lighter object would go flying. Example: You have a bullet in the chamber of a gun...

Hi All: I'm a long gun owner and will be making my first handgun purchase this weekend. I've shot a number of semi-autos and have fallen in love with Springfield Armory's XD in .40 S&W. I think they're way way cool. :cool: Here's my dilemma. My wife is about five feet tall and petite...
