      My friend's canon

      This is generally true, but like most general rules has exceptions. With the popularity of snubbies some companies do make a faster burn .357 that will see some gains out of the short barrel. Another poster has already put up an example. Traditional .357 rounds were concocted with a 6-8"...

      What homework do you get completed while at the range?

      I can honestly say I have no idea what that might entail. To answer the original question, mostly pistol work. Presentation from the holster, point shooting in close, working my way out to sighted shooting @ about 50m. Reloads and mulfunctions. Multiple target engagement and shooting on...

      James Yeager and Jeff Bloovman - Bullpups Suck

      What about the new Keltec bullpup? Serious fighting rifle, range warrior, or also ran? I have to admit I'm fascinated by the concept of the bullpup, but have absolutely no experience with them. The Keltec is about the only one in my price range, and even at that my wallet experiences severe...

      Do we know this guy

      Kind of a reach to call a flask paranoid. I carried a flask religiously for quite awhile. Never know when you might need a pull for medicinal purposes, after all.

      Who we are..."The New Gun Culture"

      Or a modern newspaper.

      Reload for personal or sale?

      Just for myself.

      Best powder for beginners?

      I use Accurate #5 when I reload .40S&W.

      A question I really don't want to ask.

      Because an admission of guilt without corroborating evidence is useless in a court. People confess to stuff they didn't do more often that you'd think. Questioning him now would be stupid, you don't have anything on him, and all you do is let them know you are watching so he gets more careful...

      Transfering firearms without serial numbers

      An important question is are they in Indiana? If you and your dad are both residents of the same state you can just hand them over and done. If you are residents of different states and both still alive, then legally it should go through an FFL. ATF Online - Firearms - Frequently Asked...

      Which 25 acp ammo for self-defense

      Have you considered a CZ sub-compact 9mm RAMI as a backup instead? There'd be a lot of advantages for you, especially since your magazines for your main weapon would work in your back up. A backup that can share magazines and has a similar manual of arms as your main weapon makes a lot of...

      How heavy does a handgun have to be before you start feeling fatigue?

      Fatigue is more of a function of recoil on range days as opposed to weight. Its not like you are holding it at arms length without rest. Figure in reloading magazines, opening boxes of ammo, checking targets, swapping targets, scratching your backside, etc. you get plenty of time to rest...

      Indy LTCH holder nabbed in Bloomington

      Every right has limitations. Folks can say its as simple as "shall not be infringed", but in that case a death row inmate would be allowed a loaded AK-47 in his cell, we could all have weaponized anthrax in a jar on our book case, and I could finally drive a tank to work and not worry about...

      A question I really don't want to ask.

      An alarm and cameras that upload via cell phone signal is the best option. I'd bet dollars to doughnut holes your mom won't cooperate with prosecution if its her son taking her stuff. A buddy I used to work with now does private fraud/identify theft investigations for the elderly in FL. Per...

      I hope this fits in this section...

      It gets mundane real fast. I'm no longer even aware of my pistol being there. I'm acutely aware if its not there, though... Once you get in the habit, you'll forget your car keys more often than your gun.

      How many o/u fans?

      I think they are gorgeous, some are truly works of art. While I am a fan, I don't own one. I don't have a real purpose for one and can't justify that much money for something just to look at. I'm envious of the guys with a nice one, though.

      How do "they" know your web-posting habits?

      I went through a deposition over a civil case where I wasn't the target (a business I contracted for was) and it wasn't criminal in nature (so no 5th amendment protection). I'm not a lawyer, going by memory of something that happened years ago, and would suggest you do your own research prior...

      Web site?

      Well, I owe a buddy of mine a "you were right", then. I saw the old Kiesler's sign still on the building last time I was in and thought you guys were still connected. Regardless of the name on the door, you guys do a great business and have a great staff. I wish I still lived close, I miss...

      Lessons I would tell 18 year old self

      Hey guys. I'm still pretty new here, but this actually kept me up last night. A nice young couple I know were bragging about how good they were getting at home clearing drills. Now I know they don't have any kids and just the two of them live in their house, so I asked what I thought was the...

      Best all around shotgun?

      I don't know which is best, but there's plenty that are plenty good enough. I have an 870 and a Mossberg, and prefer the safety on the Mossberg but feel good with either. If you are left handed, you'd probably prefer the Mossberg as well. Either have a ton of accessories and different barrel...

      Good place in Indy area to sell gun?

      One day, long after you've blown $100 on something that didn't matter and you've forgotten all about it, you might find yourself missing owning something that your daddy gave you. Just saying.
