I reload a bunch of rounds. I have made a conscious decision to not reload 9mm. It’s what I call a finger masher, I reload 32S&W longs, another true finger masher. Cost and availability drive that decision. I use a single stage press, I can’t justify the progressive style.

I’ve been there several times, delivering groceries to those very same gas stations. Guy I worked with had to stay in the truck, he threw up soon after getting out. The smell is, sublime, the streets are slick as a gut under street lights. A regular zombie apocalypse event of the bug world.

I’ve got a 10mm GI Model. The weight goes a long way in mitigating the recoil, if in fact the 10mm is hard recoiling. It might be worse than my SP-2340 SIG, might. Let’s say I get a 9mm 1911. Let’s assume it’s a real peach at the range. I’ve already got range peaches, and I won’t carry that...

The BO comes in at adequate and if you’re thinking suppressed it’s a pretty good answer. If your on the fence about power might check out the 6mm or 6.5 options (Grendel) or 6ARC. The 6.5G is fairly spicy for a compact light weight option, I like mine.

It’s going to be ages before that tax stamp goes away, and I believe it will. When it does go away, pent up demand will suck everything with a female 1/2x28 thread into its vortex. You’ll be paying north of $1500 because that’s all that will be left at the end of the week. Ammo gouging will seem...

Ruger MKIII 22/45 here. If I eventually reach some sort of muscle (eye) memory as to where that dot goes between holstering and fireing… who am I kidding

I’m a believer in taking what you can get while you can get it. Anyone out there get married on the first date? Or did you have to work your way up to that?

“Donut of death”, I’m going to steal that. The best description of my shooting I’ve ever heard. I can’t hit the center even on accident!

It comes down to the historical lean I think. The articles that are reprinted here I find interesting. I have a couple Springfield guns, news from them is nice too. Some of these gun forums smell like Axe body spray, full of middle school humor and hormones. I’m tired of that BS.

SP-101 .327Fed and a sack of snake shot loads in the Everglades. Stainless, light weight, and enough horsepower for anything in FL. I’d be inclined to carry a 10mm 1911 in Appalachia , but could easily choose the same SP-101. It would turn on the game potential, deer vs. squirrels.

The shirt count? Several boxes of .22 Winchester subsonics and a couple hundred 300g .458 cast lead bullets. Decided to use some of my last Trailboss powder for the grandkids entertainment.

After a few boxes of 10mm the gun cost becomes less and less relevant.

I got plenty of experience with hang fires and “squibs” with my muzzle loaders. Honestly it was danged good experience, I developed that muscle memory to just hang tight for several seconds and then figure out the extent of the problem. I’ve had one experience with a dead round, primer was...

I’ll tell you what surprised me about getting a safe. The number of things my wife found to put in there.

Pulled stakes in ‘97. Like leaving Stalingrad, I got over it pretty quickly.

Point was more directed towards why a cop would make the differentiation in a report. That the news would not care about anything else? Well that seems a given unfortunately.

There is an argument for reporting a loaded gun when found in a vehicle. It’s illegal in many cases to transport a loaded weapon. I travel a fair amount and make a point to know the rules. For instance I have acquired a couple 10 rd mags for travel purposes, I don’t bring an AR on most road...

If the opportunity to have a 10mm or even 40S&W presents itself…

For me, I bought a generic M-4 style. DPMS was considered moderately inexpensive at the time, I knew nothing about AR’s. There is much to be said about just getting one, anything. At some point you’ll start developing an opinion as to what you like and dislike. The idea you can buy once cry once...

There’s a bunch of scientists, engineers, technicians, hell even commissary workers employed by these “bimbos”. Are there salaries wasted? Aviation in the early 20th century was a rich and famous lark. It took the wealth of European royalty to explore the new world. Now that kind of travel is...
