Lets see some ARs and the different ways, different people have them set up. Until recently I only had an old DPMS with a fixed carry handle. I finally got around to upgrading to a flat top and I decided on the Colt LE6920 SOCOM with a Aimpoint Patrol optic. However, after doing a little...

I'm loading for my new Rem SPS Tactical .308 with the 20" barrel. I want to get 2500+ fps and good accuracy with the 175 grain Sierra Matchking. So post you pet loads please. Which ever load I pick, I'll chronograph and post pics of the groups.

I had a Remington 700 BDL Varmint in .308 that I was trying to turn into a general purpose, tactical/target/hunting rifle. It just never preformed like I wanted though. Part of it may have been the crappy synthetic stock I had it in, but it didn't shoot that great in its BDL walnut stock either...

I've got a modest collection of S&W pistols and I've previously owned several others over the years. One I wished I had back is the Model 13 I had in the late 80s, I didn't have the funds to keep them all back then. :( Anyway, I've recently acquired a Model 58 and its already taken its place...

Sage advice pax I started to write in about the flesh and bone I've seen mangled by magnum projectiles and how deep and well they penetrate. How they are much more potent than the Lead Roundnose .38's the NYPD once used. Then I remembered the man I saw before with my own eyes, who got shot in...

I want an authentic style holster, that would lend itself to a rapid draw. I thought of this earlier today, when I was writing about my Single Action Army holster. Its a Tom Threepersons and he was a real Texas Ranger who designed the holster for a rapid draw. I'd like to practice with my...

I recently aquired an S&W Model 58. I started practicing Mozambique drills with full power 210 grain Gold Dot hand loads. I suppose body armor might save my opponent, but they'd need a full bullet resistant face sheild to keep their teeth from flying out the back of their head. As most of the...

I came across this interesting article on Facebook. This time WE WON and OBAMA LOST. My thoughts on the situation are that President Obama is making enemies of and enraging the very people he depends on to protect the United States and enforce his executive branch orders. Far and wide...

I'm a 48 year old male human being and I wouldn't need a gun for SD if there weren't any guns in society. I have zero physical ailments, or associated pain, I also have 100% mobility. I know for a fact, that at least one running back in the NFL is my exact height and weight. I've been...

Last winter I relocated my 1911 flap holster on my web gear. It rides right on my thigh and feels solid and comfortable. I reached down and drew it that first day and although I was just trying to get it out smooth, it sounded fairly speedy. So I practiced every once and a while. Now I can reach...

I don't think high capacity assault bows and walk by arrowing is funny. They're scary is what they are .

If this isn't a Civil Rights issue, I don't know what is. I'm not against Law Enforcement reading the e-mails of criminal suspects, if they have a warrant. The whole idea that they could go on a fishing expedition and surreptitiously read e-mails without judicial over sight is abhorrent. This...

1) If one of my 1911 type pistols is cocked and locked, there is one in the chamber and the magazine is loaded. 100% certainty on my part. 2) If one of my 1911 type pistols has the hammer all the way down, the chamber and magazine are loaded. 3) If one of my 1911 type pistols is on half cock...

After I got out of the Army, for about a fifteen year stretch all I did was pick up the occasional copy of American Handgunner, or Combat Handguns Magazine. For that time period, neigh even for most of my life, including my time in the military, I was in my own little world and my own...

Edit: It DOSEN'T have to be a BAD handgun. If the only handgun you own is a Sig 210, then that is the worst handgun you currently own. For me its my made in 1931 Colt Police Positive Special chambered in .38 Special. I shoot it sometimes with Remington 158 gr +P LSWC-HP, even though you...

I thought a handguns in and with their holsters thread would be fun. Handguns aren't just for looking at, they're for packing. Also the design and evolution of the practical fast draw/combat holster and the field holster is fairly interesting. I snapped the pic below awhile back and its what...

Above are the war weapons of an old, out of touch, has been, me.:) At the top: is a DPMS Lite-16, with the fixed A2 sights. I keep 10 30 round magazines each loaded with 28, 70 grain Speer Semi Spitzers for it. They aren't an advanced design, but they work good on deer and hog meat. The wound...

Well, I followed OP's advice and got a .40 S&W, but to no avail. I was attacked by an axe welding maniac. I fired right for his heart, all three shots hit dead on. However, he was unfazed and I was forced to run for my life. I barely got away. :eek: Below is a pic of my assailant, if you see...

I see people write all the time about wildlife around there homes, I thought it would be nice if we had a thread of pics. It is easy to get pics from the deer lease, but how about right around the house? Maybe your back yard is a farm/ranch, dear lease, or Yellowstone Park. :) It doesn't matter...

Clarifying your assumptions? What are those assumptions? Is one of them...That when you make claims about history that most people aren't familiar with, they might be skeptical, or want further information? I never said you didn't read the information you related and I never even said that if...
