    Discussion: First Look: Springfield Armory Kuna Tri-Lug

    When the original came out I was really interested in getting one, but I'm in Colorado and they have a 30rd mag limit and the mags are not available in any other format. So I shopped around and settled on a Ruger carbine 9mm. I waited to see if Springfield would widen the market with a lower...

    Discussion: Ichord Report: What If Congress Had Let the M16 Die?

    I never really liked the m-16. The M16-A1 was the only rifle we had during my service of 9+ yrs. I wanted one in the toolbox because I knew it best. That said, I got to fam-fire a M14 once. I was part of a barracks unit and we had them for ceremonial duties. After just the 1st round, I had that...

    Discussion: Is the AR Past Its Prime?

    When I came off active duty I had a list of defensive tools I wanted. The AR-15 was on that list. Not because I liked the platform all that much, but because of almost a decade of training, qualifying, and knowing the general maintenance of a M16A1. It was years until I was able to check it off...

    Discussion: Will You Shoot the Wrong Threat?

    I thought it was a situation posing a question made with no actual answer by the article's end. I know it could have included more to tighten up the story, but I thought it left too much out, and then the article went off (mostly) elsewhere.

    Discussion: Was the 1911’s Grip Safety a Mistake?

    I like the grip safety, one plus that I considered with the XDm Elite .45.

    Discussion: Lessons Learned: Insuring Your Guns

    I have two suggestions I would recommend. 1. "My Armory" app. You can find it on the Apple App Store. Free, no requirement to have information anywhere other than your personal iPhone (think there's a android also), or computer(s). It's got a load of information you can track. You can physically...

    Discussion: Lost Secret of Pistol Shooting: The Crush Grip

    Good information, if it works. I'll give it some serious practice. Especially with a sub-compact. The sub-compacts are my low-left nemesis.

    Discussion: Is Constitutional Carry a Mistake?

    150 years ago, people didn't have classes, and open carry was widely the way of life if one wanted. Not everyone did open carry, but they could when they wanted or needed. That's an important choice. Hell, before that you could have a cannon if you could afford it, or a Gattlin Gun. Carrying a...

    Discussion: Review: Springfield SAINT Victor 9mm Pistol

    Sadly, in my state (Colorado) and many (too many) others this is unavailable. Hell in Colorado they are trying to make gas operated "removable" magazine firearms illegal. Currently, the bill has been modified to require government approval, paid training, registration, and of course there's our...

    Discussion: Springfield Armory at the SHOT Show

    Doesn't look like much of anything new. Color options, and a shorter barreled model. Maybe something more is in development. I'd like to see some added emphasis toward the 10mm caliber. Maybe (fingers crossed) in the Echelon platform. That said, love SA.

    Lucas Oil Extreme Duty Bore Solvent Review

    Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to reconsider with Midway. I’m still waiting on a suppressor for my Hellion but once I get it (damn ATF) I’ll need a quantity for soaking. Walmart was showing a great deal on multiple quart sized, but I can’t justify buying a case even at the price right now. Stay...

    Lucas Oil Extreme Duty Bore Solvent Review

    Not I, and Amazon has been the worst. Lucky to get 1/2 the product still in the bottle.

    Lucas Oil Extreme Duty Bore Solvent Review

    Thanks, and I know I can find it at numerous places online. However, it seems that 95% of the time I order online a liquid it's delivered leaking, so I just don't try anymore.

    Lucas Oil Extreme Duty Bore Solvent Review

    I just sent an email to Lucas Oil asking why I can't find this locally anymore, and that it's been months (here in Colorado). I really like their products and hate switching once you find a great one.
