I recently ran across this phrase elsewhere in the forum and thought it was worth discussing here. It's safe to say that the vast majority of us here are firearms enthusiasts of some sort. Duh, this is a firearms forum. Also safe to say that a significant percentage of us carry as well. And...

A bit of actual legal interpretation here: What time frame does the term "upon request" mean? I ran across this in another forum and it made me think a bit. Specifically, this question is with regards to the wording on ATF Form 4 which states: "Proof of Registration: A person possessing a...

I have several handguns, not all something I'd consider carrying for defense. For example, while I love my Colt SAA, and the .45 Colt would certainly be a great defensive round, it just ain't gonna cut it as a concealed carry. Too bulky for the way I prefer to carry (concealed, and IWB)...

In another forum a guy posts some of his knives that I think are works of art. Thinking some of his work would look great with some Cocobolo scales, I dug up a stack of choice scraps I had saved a few years back when I helped a brother of mine build a deck for someone. Enough to make quite a...

Just noticed today while refreshing myself on state reciprocity: Indiana (my state of birth) no longer recognizes my South Carolina CWP and vice-versa. I'm pretty sure they used to recognize each other and I wonder if that changed because of South Carolina's recently passed open carry law...

A few years back my wife sent me a link on the Walther CCP. She was interested because she has a difficult time racking the slide on her PPK/S. I told her we need to go find one and let her handle it and see how she likes the feel and the action. Maybe at a gun show, where so many different...

At the suggestion of another member, I've created this thread. If you've looked at my signature, you've likely seen the youtube link for the carbide cannon I made a few years back for my kids. (Honest...for my kids. I wouldn't lie about that!). If you search "Carbide Pirate Cannon" on...

Anybody know what states are declaring themselves to be 2A sanctuaries?

How do you feel about your state requiring the Department of Motor Vehicles to maintain an accurate and up-to-date list of all CWP holders, with the purpose of issuing mandatory license plate stickers identifying vehicle owners as having a CHP? Well, if you're a South Carolina resident, take...

My wife sent me a link about the Walther CCP, a new single stack 9mm, that she's interested in. http://www.waltherarms.com/handguns/ccp/ MSRP is $469 to $489, depending on whether you get the black Cerakote or stainless slide version. Darn good price, in my opinion. I've read a few...

I'm in the market for another IWB and have been looking online off and on for several months, now. Currently I have a Galco N3 IWB for my Colt 1991A1. I've been seriously eye-balling two from Milt Sparks: The Criterion and the Versa Max 2. I'm pretty much settled in on the Criterion and...

...for my Colt Peacemaker! As the story goes, I've wanted a Colt Peacemaker since I was knee high to a snake's belly. Not a Cimarron. Not a Pietta. A Colt. Specifically a Colt SAA, 5.5 inch barrel, color case hardened, in .45 Colt caliber. This summer I finally realized that dream...

So, there I was, packing up for a road trip and making sure my carry was ready. I only had one magazine of my preferred Gold Dot 230 gr (which was in my Colt 1991A1), so I pulled out another magazine loaded with my usual range fare (WWB). As I was unloading the magazine, I noticed 4 of the...

A brother of mine has an M1 Garand, which he asked me a while back to look for some 150 grain ammo for it back when it was harder to find due to all the ammo shortages. I picked up 200 rounds for him and gave them to him when I next visited. However, he's discovered a problem, and here's a...

So, I finally had a weekend off and decided to visit my oldest brother and his wife who live 3 hours from where I work. They weren't going to be home until Saturday afternoon, so I decided to visit the NRA National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, VA, which his about 20 minutes from their house...

Don't know how many people are still hard up for bullets in reloading, but I just got an email from MidwayUSA today: "Super Sonic Sale: Remington Pistol Bullets On Sale!" 115 gr 9mm and 230 gr .45 acp, FMJ. Sale expires 2/17/2014...

Another thread (Worst Carry Rig Ever?) sparked this when I couldn't find a thread with coherent relevant information on the pros and cons of various holsters and carry techniques. Lots of links to questions about "what kind of holster should I get for my new (fill in the blank) pistol", but all...

While shopping around for some gun accessories for my wife's birthday present, I ran across some gun sight paint called "Bright Sights" and decided to pick up a couple small bottles for use on one of my pistols. Here's a link: http://www.brightsights.com/ My colt 1991A1 is factory...

This question sparked by a recent posting about meat processing elsewhere. What are your favorite jerky recipes and techniques? I got started on this a few years ago and, though I've not made any game jerky, I have made quite a bit of beef jerky. I make my own teriyaki marinade, though...

Thought the site might like this one. This is an article I ran across on Military.com. There's a picture of two men from an episode of "Strike Back" and the author of the article is puzzled as to what it is. Anybody here care to take a stab at it BEFORE reading all the comments to the...
