Folks, Time for me to have built a 1911 fighting pistol (70 Series foundation). I've envied too many people who have carried the same pistol for 10-30 years and now it's my turn for a truly personal firearm. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have a second barrel fitted (maybe...

Y'all, I was trained to include biting as part of my combatives package. Nose, ears, eyes, face, fingers, throat & other parts of the body make themselves available when in a tumble. Nowadays, with the advent of AIDs and other nasty contagions that a BG may very likely carry, is it still a...

Y'all, Here's something that has annoyed me over the years: What exactly does "Heavily Armed" mean? Example of usage I see in media: "A Heavily Armed man who had barricaded himself inside his home has finally surrendered to police, taken into custody was Mr. XYZ ...police also recovered a .22...

This post isn't about accuracy; stopping power; or JHP v. FMJ. I just wanted to know how people hold their KelTec P32s when they shoot them. Since I consider mine a contact weapon, I practice with it one-handed & point shooting. To be honest, I can't even hold it two-handed because it is...

Y'all, lately I've been wondering why I own so many guns. I have, over the years built up a nice little collection of firearms, the majority of which I don't shoot. Some I don't think I've fired in over 2 years. I prefer the .45ACP and will continue to collect, practice with and shoot some...

Y'all, After seeing the Ronald Reagan shooting tape again, I have started to ponder the potential effectiveness of .22lr as a serious defensive round. Am I guilty of scorning a powerful cartridge, or am I reading too much from this incident? Hinkley, armed with a .22lr snubbie revolver...

Y'all, I have a question regarding any Rod & Gun clubs you may attend. Do any of your R&G clubs actually deal with fishing? The ones I've attended, namely in N. CA don't seem to have anything to do with fishing. I have yet to see anyone carrying a fishing pole, let alone strike up a...

Anyone uses a detachable pistol foregrip on their AR15/M4gery? Do they do anything besides just increasing the 'coolness' factor to the rifle?

Y'all, Just pulled my 36" Cold Steel Sjambok out of a closet and was playing with it. It is a nasty cardboard whacker & bush trimmer, but I'm wondering about its usefulness for real SD applications, particularly for places where one cannot carry, since it is very light & flexible (concealable)...

Y'all, I dropped a lead weight (Fulton Armory?) into the butt stock compartment of an AR15 in order to counterbalance the heavy bull barrel varminter config. I have on it. Now, this this thing is one heavy SOB and I'd like to remove it, the lead weight is pretty solidly wedged into the plastic...

Y'all, This just came to mind last night as I was enjoying a Cubano while out on a walk, but how effective would it be to wield a lit cigar as a deterrent when approached/harassed by strangers. Would it be a practical improvised 'weapon'? I seem to remember learning some lit cigarette...

Y'all, I have a Springfield M1A Scout and I need advice on what optics to put on it. General rifle, maybe some deer hunting, not first choice for SD. I already own three sets of sights/optics and can't decide on which one to use: 1) Springfield Gen II scope using a SA scope mount. This came...

Sorry dudes, but gotta ask. Regarding Leonidas' famous "Molon Labe" reply at Thermoplyae, if the Spartans, Thebans, Thesbians, etc. were all killed, who passed it on to Herodotus to record? I doubt that the Persians were kindly enough to do so since they got whupped so bad.

Y'all, Just looked at a pair of Ruger SP101s available at my dealer. Was thinking about adding a new 'wheelie' to the collection. Got pretty disgusted when the front sights on both pistols turned out to be slanted towards the left. It appears that the tops of both sights were not machined...

Does anyone know the real scoop on these shotguns? I 've heard so much word of mouth that the Benelli M1 Tactical is tha same as the Beretta 1201fp (just more expensive). Is this really true? I'm really interested to know if their parts are interchangeable. I own the Beretta and handled...

Y'all, just got back from shooting my ParaOrdnance P-13 with various loads. I started getting brass ejecting directly back into my forhead about 1/3 of the time -same thing happend to my buddy who tried it out. Is this an ejector, extractor, or recoil spring issue? I thank you and my...

Y'all, I should be getting my Leupold Scout Scope soon for my M1A Scout and I would like to use quick detach rings to mount it with. I know that some manufacturers claim to "hold zero" so I'd appreciate recommendations on what you use, whether they really work, any tips, etc. Thanks.

http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/08/28/nail.in.head/ OK, I know that it's not really the same thing, but I think that it's similiar-enough to demonstrate how a "mouse load" won't do the job. Also looks like the teeth deflected the missle. -If that was a .45 cal rebar...

Ever name your guns? If so what & why? Started thinking about this recently when I sold a friend my Ruger, which he promptly named "Simone" for some reason, then talked to another friend who named her hand-me-down-from-Father, Colt Woodsman .22 "Tex". Since then I've stated naming my guns...

Pulled a late-nighter at the office yesterday, didn't get out until after 12:30AM and I hadn't eaten all day. The only place open was a drive-thru burger joint in a bad part of town (where I live in Kali, 1-Bdrm condos still go for over $300K in the "bad" parts-so I wasn't out looking for...
