I've taken this from the August 2021 issue of Shooting Illustrated (NRA). I believe this is excellent information and commentary. The development of elephant hunting cartridges (i.e. 450 Nitro, 470 Nitro, 500 Nitro, etc.) were intended to ensure adequate penetration of the heavy skull and if...

https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2015/04/worlds-best-pellet-trap/ I have found it nice to use my air rifle for some back yard practice. It quenches my desire to shoot and keeps the whole rifle technique thing fresh. I have been using a cardboard box filled with layers of cardboard but think I...

https://www.ssusa.org/articles/2021/2/1/beretta-holding-acquires-holland-holland I have had a long distance relationship with African big game hunting since my late teens. Holland and Holland is tied irrevocably to the history of African Hunting. I have had the dream of winning the lottery...

I recently read an article about a Mannlicher cartridge, the 8 x 50R black powder round. Looking at the photo, one might get the idea Hornady was doing historical research when the came up with their "precision" designs. I am still waiting for my Savage in 6mm ARC (also a rimmed design). Take a...

OK, let's discuss something fun. What is your favorite caliber/platform for hunting: 1. small game 2. varmints 3. medium game (i.e. deer) 4. large game (i.e. elk/large African antelope) 5. dangerous game (you name it) I'll start with: 1. 22 LR, single shot 2. 223, AR platform 3. 7-08 to 7mm...

I saw a YouTube video the other day with a lawyer associated with one of the self defense insurance companies who said something to the effect of: If a malicious prosecuting attorney discovers that you, as the self defender, have used handloads in your shooting, he will probably accuse you of...

I was thumbing through a stack of old gun rags (printed) and saw an article regarding the question of magazine spring tension weakening over time while being stored loaded. As an aside, the article suggested cleaning the handgun’s magazine each time the handgun itself is cleaned. I freely admit...

https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2021/05/07/texas-verge-becoming-21st-constitutional-carry-state/ There was once a time where if a person was caught carrying a handgun under cover, he was thought immediately to be up to no good because only the Bad Guys did that. As the times changed...

I saw a YouTube video the other day that surprised me. The fellow said that when dunked in water, his 12 gauge shotgun shells (including slugs) failed to fire. How does the Average Joe or Jane waterproof shot shells without having a nuclear engineering degree? I love my 870 and consider it a...

STOP THE PRESSES! Our intrepid law enforcement folks held up a "shipping container" (One can only wonder if it as a 40-footer or a 53-footer.) and probably everything else within a mile for...wait for it...here it comes...40rounds of 38 ammo! On the other hand, this same crew probably allowed 2...

Just about this time last year I began reading about the 6mm BR cartridge that had been legitimized by Hornady and sold to the American military as the “6mm ARC (Advanced Rife Cartridge)”. The round is a slightly modified 6mm Bench Rest that uses the 7.62 x 39 shell necked down and with a...

When will SA bring out the XD-E with an installed optical sight? They seem to be doing it for all the other models. I guess I should bide my time...

My interest here is in any additional protection that may be worn comfortably, for extended periods of time, on a daily basis. I know this is probably like the Quest for the Unicorn that Farts Gold Coins, but I thought I would just ask this group of people who go armed. Thanks in advance for...

My questions are: How many of you daily carriers also go with a first aid kit? What supplies do you carry? Is a tourniquet part of that kit and what type/brand is it, if any? How do you carry it comfortably and what brand/type of carrier is it? The last question is possibly the hardest hurdle...

We see many threads covering EDC load-outs and types of handgun choices. I would like to know what ammunition folks actually carry in their EDC handguns and why they choose that particular brand/projectile. My XD-S has seven rounds of 230 grain lead round nose 45 (no jacket) ACP. Before you...

Hello All, I have been carrying the XD-S (45) in a Gunfighters Inc Kevlar Ronin for almost three years. During the first year, the XD-E was released...and I really wanted it! Well, I have the room in my budget now but also want a good red dot on that firearm. I am afraid that if I plop down the...

I carry the XD-S and the pistol is very accurate; however, the trigger shoe eats my trigger finger(s) under recoil when I shoot without gloves. Can anyone suggest a replacement trigger shoe that won't chew me up when I'm trying to have a little fun? Thanks, I.
