    Illinois Set to Tighten the Screws on Gun Owners on January 1

    I understand this guy is a billionaire. These rich assholes that go into politics are dangerous. I have read that when Truman's term was up he left in his car with the wife and was damn near broke. It was then that a retirement fund was set up for former presidents. Any truth to this?

    OMG I Started A Fight

    I've got old Corbon in a Sig P239 and my two carry 1911 .45's. I have all the confidence I need for it to function 100%. I do have some surplus 8mm Mauser made in Yugoslavia from the 1950's for a 98K I fire occasionally that does "hang fire" at times. That is the only ammunition I have ever...

    Heatseeker: The Tightest Group of My Life

    Have a Remington 700 Varmit in .308 Winchester in a old JP Enterprises AMCS chassis. Had the barrel cut from 26" to 22.5" and mounted a Vortex flash hider. Tried a muzzle brake, but the blast was blowing things off the bench. Can't afford a suppressor, and don't want to cut the barrel shorter...

    Ayoob: Not a Fudd Holster After All

    Back problems (and old age) here, and mostly gave up belt holsters. Carry a Browning HP and 1911 in a Falco Roto Shoulder Holster (vertical carry). As mentioned in the article, it allows me to carry the gun and two extra magazines. One thing I do have to be aware of is that if I bend over to...

    Losing a Gunfight: Are You Behind the Power Curve?

    I'm nearly 77 years old. Had multiple surgeries for rotator cuffs, broken ankle, two back surgeries, partial kidney removal, and two hip replacements. Agility...not much. Arthritis in my fingers are a "pain" (no surprise)...particularly my trigger finger. There is no way in hell I'm am going...

    Is Corrosive Ammo Bad (or Actually Okay)?

    Fired 60 rounds 1943 British .303 surplus. I don't know if they were still uning cordite at that time, but I cleaned as if I were cleaning my 1873 trapdoor with black powder. I learned a lesson when I fired known corrosive in my 1903 !932 Springfield. Used Hoppe's #9. Much later (months) I...

    Can a SOCOM 16 Stop a Bear Attack?

    That's why I use the Black Magic 625 grain slugs at 1500 fps. The 000 for the last two are for REALLY close and personal in his face.

    Can a SOCOM 16 Stop a Bear Attack?

    Don't live in Alaska, and prefer my vacations in warm places with blue water and a white sandy beach. However, I do live adjacent to a National Park with a small population of grizzlies, and I do roam in areas outside of the park. When in those areas, my choice is my Benelli M4 with the full...

    First Look: 1911 DS Prodigy Compact 9mm Pistols

    Like to have one, but my state (Washington) put the screws to these firearms. I have Colt 1911's which are all .45 ACP and eight round magazines are the largest. I have no way to get one of these new pistols into the state with 15 or 17 round magazines. Fortunately, I had a Browning HP when...

    Avoid Being a Target — Is Your Pistol Truly Concealed?

    Getting old (75) and hip wear (in or out) hurts. The appendix carry makes me nervous like the author points out, as does the forward rake as when one sits down. The direction the muzzle points to is sensitive. I just don't like the pistol pointing at me or anyone else. I try to use a...

    SOCOM 16 — Is a .308 Too Much for Home Defense?

    I'll stay with my 12 gauge with No. 1 buck. If I have to go rifle, it'll be my Arsenal AK clone. .308 is just too much unless I was living on a farm.

    Ayoob: How You’d Lose Your CCW (and How to Stop It)

    Thought of a Sig Sauer p365, but I've got enough handguns now, and it still doesn't fit into pants pockets all that well. The days here that get hot enough to wearing a long sleeve shirt and attracting attention or such are minimal. Washington recently passed some "sensitive area" restrictions...

    Ayoob: How You’d Lose Your CCW (and How to Stop It)

    Washington state. Most of the time the weather makes it easy to conceal. Heavy wool shirt, sweatshirt, coat. Even in restaurants people keep these garments on. The five months of so when it might get warm enough to not be wearing these garments is the problem. I went to a vest this last...

    Will You Use Your CCW If You Are Attacked?

    I use #2 when using the 1911. Lately I have reverted to a Sig P239 DA/SA.

    1911 Carry Conditions Explained

    I'm with you on the cross draw and shoulder rigs. Training as mentioned in my area requires a considerable drive. I have a severe hearing loss from shooting, and avoid ranges for the most part anymore...difficult to hear range commands and I'd like to "check out" with just hearing aids and not...

    1911 Carry Conditions Explained

    The objective of carrying any gun is to protect oneself. I can do that. I may not be Raylan Givens, or the absurd John Wick, but arguing over Condition One or Two is hardly something that warrants a condemnation over the use of gun. There is no requirement to exercise your right of self...
