    When I die...do I take my suppressor with me?

    If you do not have a will (the term-of-art is "intestate") most States' (they each vary) Probate Court will appoint an Executor who will dispose of the decedent's property per the States' guidelines for such things, any monies or profits will then be distributed per State rules.

    Initial impressions of my Tisas Fatih 380

    I asked (about TISAS in general) my LGS, and their answer is that they put new stock in the case and it's often bought the same day it's put out.

    True Velocity sues SIG over ammo technology

    Within most US jurisdictions, one entity can sue another entity by way of several Statutes, some specific. While this peripherally relates to ammunition, it's more about business practices. So, it's not really THR-related It fails to cite any of the court filings, as well. So, this actually is...

    Is $500K too much for a safe?

    Dunno, if a new house is an option, buying/building one with a hardened "gun room" becomes a possibility. Whether that comports with your personal domestic tranquility is a question I, of course, cannot answer. Having designedspecified/built a "gun room" or two, there is a distinct freedom in...

    Browning 1910/71

    That's nice, I would have snapped that up, too. Many Congrats!

    Is USCCA getting a fair shake on YouTube?

    Now, whether or not the antics of one company versus another in videos on YT hardy seems to have little bearing on Firearms Law or Legislation. Whether one policy or another is better is an individual decision, and only tangentially associated with Statutes. So, I'm not seeing where "we" gain...

    Hitchcock 45's hearing protection.

    If it's one of the Ohio Ordnance ones (which are very sexy) you are going to need about three grand to get one, and you will need to not have too much sticker shock from the US$50-75 magazines. BAR, especially the WWII A2 versions runs to over 19#, which is not something easy to shoulder...

    Gun Identification...inherited long guns from family. Please let me know your valued opinions.

    That next to last one looks a lot like an M-1903, if so, the maker's stamp (Springfield or Rock Island or Remington) matters, and the serial number range. If that's a 7 digit Springfield or Rock Island, it's north of US$800 all by its lonesome.

    Felons Cannot Possess Firearms or People Under Investigation for a Felony Cannot Possess Firearms?

    It's probably worth reminding here, that there is a Federal distinction between "possession" and "ownership." 18USC922 tends to deny "tranfers" and any form of "possession" but does not specifically speak to "ownership." Legally, to pick a thing up is to "possess" it, even if no claim nor title...

    Is USCCA getting a fair shake on YouTube?

    I'm reasonably sure that's Attorneys On Retainer. An Arizona based Law Firm, dba https://attorneysforfreedom.com/ (originally Marc J. Victor P.C.). Their 'sales pitch' is rather than providing an "insurance" against costs incurred as a result of a shooting incident, they provide an actual...

    My wife calls it gun porn!

    Our site here is more of a kaffeeklatsch, a meeting of like minds. The German phrase gemütliche sammlung, actually really hits the nail on the head of it. Comparing this to pr0n is disparaging, and disingenuous, too. Probably few of us would be embarrassed to be seen typing away on this site.

    Need a new gun safe

    To expand on what @The Night Rider said, it can be worth visiting the local locksmith shop as they often have used/refused safes (some may have UL ratings) for reasonable prices. This can be a handy way to pick up a handgun only safe, which gets you more room in the long-gun safe for not...

    Current M1911A1 WW2 clones -- authenticity ratings

    TISAS, from potentially faulty memory had an earlier "US Army" version which was series 80, and had an odd hammer on it. RIA also had their 'mock' 1911 using an A1 frame. SAI had what they claimed was a clone, but that was largely limited to having a lanyard loop IIRC (And may have had a...

    Springfield Armory's SA16-A2

    AH, those halcyon days of handguard-pinched palms :)

    Springfield Armory's SA16-A2

    One of the problems about citing one of Henry's videos is that he's an absolute rifle whisperer, part of that rare breed that can pick up a rifle and get its best out of it. After all, he can shoot a Moisin-nagant made in the 20s to 5-6MOA acceptance standards and get hits on gongs out at...
