    U.S. Strikes three Iranian Nuclear Sites

    You do mean the 1770's, correct?

    U.S. Strikes three Iranian Nuclear Sites

    Wonderful solution in a perfect world. Why, exactly, would anyone give up their weapons based on an agreement with a nation who has a religious conviction that you must die? Oh, and why would you EVER believe anyone who has, a a tenet of their religion, that it's OK to lie to someone who isn't...

    Why is Sig Trying to Bankrupt Me

    You should be glad it's only one manufacturer. In my case it seems to be the vast majority them...

    A.C.E. Echelon Full Frame & Compensator

    If my math is right, that puts the Echelon into the neighborhood of some pretty impressive pistols. Tough competition... I'm quite happy with mine as it came. But, if it's something you want to do, go for it. Your money, your choice.

    Will modern firearms work with blackpowder?

    Unless I am mistaken, it certainly works in a punt gun.

    Hornady Critical DUTY Tactical 9mm Luger 135 Grain Handgun Ammo vs Hornady Critical Defense 9mm Luger 115 Grain Handgun Ammo

    Hornady has some videos explaining the difference between Critical Duty and Critical Defense, which are helpful. Ditto what was mentioned earlier about possible feed issues with Critical Defense. Wife's P365 won't feed it. Looks to be something with the polymer(?) plug in the projectile. Have...

    Seven Great Semiauto Pistols Under $700 Dollars

    It is, allegedly, a Glock clone, so there's that.

    Seven Great Semiauto Pistols Under $700 Dollars

    Under $700? That's casting a pretty broad net. There's a lot of pistols in our safe that cost less than $700 and I would definitely choose most any of them over the members of this list. Interesting that the RXM is getting so much love. It certainly checks in at an appealing price point, but if...

    Hi Point AR-15 - the HP 15

    I can recognize an awesome idea when I see one.

    Hi Point AR-15 - the HP 15

    An AR platform weapon for under $500? Seems like they aren't breaking any new ground here.

    Gun Culture or Gun Community: There IS a Difference and It’s an Important One

    Interesting differentiation. I would be curious to find out the breakdown of firearm owners within these groups; that being, how many would consider themselves to be part of the "culture". My suspicion is that a lot of people who are thoughtful and honest with themselves would realize they meet...

    Getting old

    Sadly, my body is complaining about the abuse and neglect I gave it. Motocross landed me a new knee about three years ago. Softball left my right shoulder a mess. Naturally, if I could go back and tell my younger self what it would be like at 65, I would have answered "will deal with that...

    Another ISIS leader off the board

    Doubt that the terrorists are unaware of the "unfortunate" demise of their leaders. It's not likely too secret. As for reporting it, I can see two benefits. First, Americans can see that actions are being taken eradicate these evil bastards. Second, it lets the terrorists know that they aren't...

    Another ISIS leader off the board

    Oh darn. I am unable to find much sympathy for terrorists who learn there aren't any virgins waiting for them. Carry on.

    Feeling nostalgic

    I'm old enough to remember the McDonald's ad on TV that said you could get two hamburgers, fries and a coke and "Something you haven't seen for a while. Change back from your dollar."

    Is It Bad to Store Magazines Fully Loaded?

    Spring set is definitely a real thing, in my experience. I do agree that new processes for heat treatment and metallurgy have the potential for improvement, but I still avoid keeping springs under compression over time.

    "The Curse of Glock" or "Why I Have Moved on, but Cannot Fully Sever that Relationship"

    Perhaps to some degree this may be true. When the RSA rolls out of the land/lug machined into the bottom of the barrel while shooting that's a problem in my world. Especially when it prevents the slide from cycling correctly. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations, but when there's a problem...
