After about a year of sitting on the fence between the DB9 and the 380 pastures I decided to saddle up the pocket 9mm. I kept looking at the DB9 and the small 380’s (mainly the LCP) and in the end I decided that I would rather stick with my harder hitting 9mm rather than having to add 380 to the...

Had an incident near Hickory NC in Catawba County witch resulted a lock down of Catawba Valley Community College Wednesday morning 01/18/2012. The lockdown lasted three or so hours and involved much of the local law enforcement as well as a swat team. Parts of the school was evacuated also. As...

With the new year here and the Shot Show a little more than a week away, I have been doing my yearly search for what is new. Guns So-far the one at the top of my “Aahh, that may be cool list” is the rumors that Sig Sauer may be coming out with a 9mm version of their popular P238 deemed the...

About 20 or so years ago I walked into a large sporting goods store with my father and there laid before my 10-12 year-old eyes was a wall full of laminated stock .22 pump action rifles. There were a few different colors to choose from and from what I can remember there was a choice between...

Anybody know the differences between these two? Perhaps the Sabers are loaded a little hotter than the Home Defense?

I have the new Ruger SR9C and so far have put 225 rounds down pipe. The only recurring problem that was present throughout the entire round count was that occasionally the trigger would stick back. Most of the time it would release itself a half second later however the first 3-4 times it...

First I guess this thread will blur the lines between three forums so feel free to change the location if needed. This rifle/revolver/shotgun caught my eye on this video from this years’ Shot Show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkPurApky4U The guy says it is a Taurus even though Rossi is on...

What is involved in replacing the plastic sights on the Alpha model with the Bravo sights offered by Kel-Tec? Is it best for a gunsmith to handle it or is it an easy installment? Also, is there any other sight options or suggestions available for the 16a?

Would like to know when you had a significant malfunction with any semi-auto handgun in terms of round count. Use the ranges; 0-100, 100-200, 200-400, 400-600, 600- 800, 800-1000, 1000-1500, 1500-2000, and 2000+ rounds. Malfunctions that caused the gun to be repaired by you, a smith, the...

I am making this post to clear up some misconceptions about hunting deer with the 22-250 and other similar cartridges. First of all shot placement. I have read in other posts here that shot placement is more important with the 22-250 than compared to other calibers (“has to be in the spine or...

Has anyone here heard any rumors of there being research done to limit the shelf life of gunpowder? I recently herd that certain organizations were trying to change the formula of gunpowder so that it can’t be stored for very long. This is just word of mouth though. I have not( as of yet) seen...

Would like to see how many of you out there think of the 22-250 as your favorite or as one of your favorite cartridges. Also what do you use them for? I proudly say that 22-250 is my favorite. My first rifle was a Remington 22-250 700 ADL. I have used it most for white tailed deer :eek: in...

I was just wandering what groupings you all are getting with your 9mm compact/ sub-compact weapons at 20-25ft or any distances up to about 60ft. Would also like to see comparisons made by those that have had experience with multiple brands.

I am looking for info and/or plans for constructing a gun room/vault. Security and fire protection are the goals. I have a full unfinished basement with concrete floor. I believe I can obtain concrete blocks for little or no cost. I do plan to build up a secondary foundation for the room/vault...

suggestions for conceal carry of the Taurus pt 111 pro? Holsters, clothing etc. I am thinking of a holster shirt made by 5.11 or similar style for deep concealment.

Has any one had any experience with the Taurus Triad? I have noticed these for sale now and there seems to be no up to date threads dealing with them. I would prefer only responses from those that have used them.
