    FBI switching to 9mm

    Having seen more than a few people shot, and killed, by all common calibers: placement is king. After decades of experience, arms/ammunition makers know that .30-.45 handgun calibers work best for taking bi-pedal targets because they have highly comparable and consistent penetration and...

    Tactical Glock set up.

    I've played with the projected dots; I would save the money for mags and ammo. The only mag-release worth spending the $$ for would be AroTek's that they install. Everything else sticks waaaaaay too far out for rough-n-tumble. For paper-punching, an aftermarket barrel is okay, but in...

    Speedfeed Stock Scratch Removal?

    Short answer is yes. If you don't want to paint, start at about 200 grit wet/dry, and sand the entire surface. Use Coarse/0 steel wool for a final rubdown for uniform finish. My personal favorite, however, is spray-on truck bed coating, from Autozone or OReilley's (Walmart brand is a less...

    Ruger SR 22

    Don't. Buy. Zinc. Guns. Cheaper(in every sense) materials. Better mark-up for the manufacturer. Cheaper to replace when they fail(for the manufacturer). A used MkII runs the same $, or less. Even a Buckmark, or Woodsman, if you shop around

    Ghost ring/aperture sights... again

    I have astigmatism, so I have similar issues. Unfortunately, the only real way to know is to try a set. Personally, I would probably try Aro-Tek, since they (unless they've changed the design) use a screw-plate, rather than a press-fit dovetail. That means you should be able to send the...

    The Stupidity of "Buy American:" The Case Against Economic Protectionism

    Of whom Lord Chamberlain was an acolyte. Free trade makes peaceful, happy people, and an end to war...right? Apparently Public School is a greater failure than even I anticipated, since no one seems able to appreciate the history of "free trade".:smash: If we want free trade, we need to...

    Gun vs weather

    Park is a half-measure. Far better finishes are widely (and economically) available. With a new park job, I would bring it home, promptly degrease the snot out of it, and spend another $20 on a can of Norell's Molyresin, or Brownells teflon-moly, in the spray can. Spray it, bake it, done...

    410 gauge for HD

    Yep. In context, a 10/22, with a RDS and Blackdog Machine 50 round mags, loaded with Stingers would really be better. In this instance, training consists of, "dear, just pull the trigger until you hear "click", then put a new mag in...". Some gun is better than no gun, and the .22 offers...

    clipdraw thoughts

    1) It offers no retention. 2) It leaves the TG open. If the situation where you, "need your gun", involves drawing from a standing position, comparatively low stress, and some fair interpersonal space- maybe. If someone is rolling you, I don't see anything positive in the system. See...

    Advice on choosing between AR15 and PTR .308

    Harris is pretty much it, for reasonable, stable and durable. RTG Parts has lots of HK stuff. http://www.robertrtg.com/bipod.html I can't remember if the stock pod mount(well) with the slim forend. In any event, it is heavy, and not spring loaded. Here's a link to mount solutions for you...

    Why aren't these in production?

    P7s are highly labor intensive to make. Yeah, CNC changes the model, but not that much. Ferrari doesn't sell may units/annum, either, but they can't if they want to maintain the quality and "elitism" and "savoir-faire" that their name currently carries. HK can- that's why we have the USP...

    Advice on choosing between AR15 and PTR .308

    ??Aside from barrel replacement, the aforementioned cracked trunion, or a receiver failure, there isn't anything that requires special tools or abilities. Bolt gap is adjusted with replacement rollers. If you're eating up headspace, it would be the same as a properly torqued AR- it needs to...

    Anyone have an opinion on Seecamp LWS 32?

    You have a 416 or 17-4PH stainless model. Nothing wrong with that, just an older weapon. Typically, these are carried much and shot little, but since it is new to you, I would buy a replacement slidespring, and an extra trigger spring. They are absolutely a best-of. You'll want to go to...

    Have you ever painted right over blue? Will it work??

    It won't last long over a brushed or polished blue. At the absolute least, rub the action down with 100 grit wet/dry paper first.

    Comcast creates reduced-price Internet package for welfare participants

    You're talking about all the free porn downloads, right? This is the bottom line: Comcast has financial incentive to provide the "service"- their merger ($$$$$) will be okay-ed. The Fed has incentive to allow provision of the service, because it is being given to those who are already...

    charter arms revolver disassembly

    Clamp the ejector rod in a vise, using aluminum or wooden pads, and unscrew counterclockwise, IIRC, same as S&W. Should not take a whole bunch of effort.
