I'll add another comment. I've got a full sized XD-M - the old XDM 5.25 competition pistol in 9mm. I bought the compact for carry, and I am just not sure how I feel about the flared mag-well on a carry pistol. I feel like the grip is already so short when using the shorter magazine on the...

I think you have two ways to go for an extended magazine. 1. Leave the mag well on, and use a normal 19 round mag, which will hanging out and not a seamless part of the grip frame. It will be a little dorky looking, but I would think it will latch in there. 2. Remove the mag well, and use the...

My first gun was .22LR, and I was taught never to dry fire any 22, as it can screw up the firing pin and potentially the face of the chamber without a round in there to take the impact. I occasionally dry fire center fire pistols or revolvers, but would not do extensive dry fire "training"...

Yeah, I feel this is pretty bad, as the new law (not effective until 1/1/2023) weakens the permit. The old law expressly stated that to carry on private property you needed EITHER a CC permit or permission of the property owner. This new law strikes that phrase about the CC permit allowing you...

For any fellow Alabamians, I want to get your take on the bill the Governor just signed today: http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/ALISON/SearchableInstruments/2022RS/PrintFiles/HB272-int.pdf I had urged my legislators to pass this bill WITHOUT modifications, but apparently that did not...

Weird to see an almost 2 year old thread get resurrected out of the blue. That said, I too find the LCP Max intriguing, but not sure why you hold inclusion of just one magazine against it. The LCP II and LCP also include only one magazine. It seems most of Ruger's guns these days just include...

I'm on an iMac 27" (2017) with Monterey, and have not run into this issue. But then again, I never ever turn my computer off, just have the screen turn off. It's more stress on a computer to be powered off and on, than to just leave it on and have it go into sleep mode. My MacBook Pro (2014)...

This is really a "loading" kit - not a reloading kit. There is nothing in the article about re-use of the 22LR casings. I don't see how you COULD reuse them - they have a nice ding on the edge from being fired, and the primer is burned out of the casing. So you are really just loading brand...

Cool to have as an option at the range. Maybe for home defense, although I feel it could also get in the way. Certainly not a magazine I would ever want to carry with me, even as a spare.

For deer hunting, Alabama seems to stipulate "muzzle loaders or black powder handguns 0.40 caliber or larger" and in another line "centerfire handguns with expanding rounds". So it sure looks like I could technically go deer hunting with my great grandfather's .38 if I had expanding rounds in...

This entire ongoing fiasco makes me sick. The hubris and malfeasance involved are disgusting. I've been watching it unfold since Oliver North's unexpected departure, which shocked me into taking a hard look at the NRA. I supported them with annual membership dues until this year, and let it...

I let my NRA membership lapse this summer, but am continuing to support GOA, and also a few other 2A entities.

I use Ballistol as well, pretty much exclusively, after seeing Hickock 45 using it as well. If nothing else, it sure doesn't stink up my house like Hoppes did, and seems to get things pretty clean. I blow out the excess with the air compressor in places I can't reach with cleaning patches or...

Oops. Didn't know that, don't want to **** anyone off by bringing it back up, but seems to be something we would want to be discussing. I don't use steel cased ammo myself, so not sure I've ever bought any ammo from Russia, but it doesn't seem like this restriction does anything to punish...

I came here today expecting comments on this subject: biden-administration-bans-importation-of-russian-ammunition I don't buy a lot of Russian made ammo, but know it accounts for a lot of the cheaper stuff that is currently available.
