      BATFE now allowed to confiscate guns without due process

      This is why I hate the media. They overstate and overhype everything to sell it. If you disagree with civil forfeiture, fine, but its not as presented and this isn't an expansion of it. At least keep the debate honest and let people decide for themselves based on the real situation. The...

      Cops Raid IUSB class for report of handgun!!!

      Wow. Speaking of stereotypes. You call the police wanting to talk to you a "raid" and express surprise they were "cool about it." I guess that's the affect of the Internet echo chamber, and you just expect them to be jackwagons and thugs, eh? I don't know what IUSB is, but when I went to...

      Do all slides take about the same strength to rack?

      If her hands are too weak to rack the slide of an auto, isn't the recoil of the Judge a bit much for her? The video posted will help a lot, and recoil spring strength is an obvious factor. A bit less obvious is slide height and texture. I was one of the first kids on my block to buy a Beretta...

      Recommended Ammo

      Bird shot out of a Judge is confirmed to have less than 2" of penetration. I would ask that anyone who thinks the Judge is a serious self-defense weapon to read the testing done at this link: The Box O' Truth #41 - The Taurus Judge Vs. The Box O' Truth - Page 1 It is a cool concept, a neat...

      How do you adjust a sight?

      If its the firearm and not the shooter, try a different bullet weight if it is off vertically. The fixed sight firearm usually has a specific load in mind, and varying from that will change point of impact.

      Newest Open Range in Indiana!!

      That's funny. :)

      Rechambering Rounds

      Another possible issue is damage to the primer, or specifically the little chemical cake on the inside of the primer. "the cause of the misfire was determined to be from the primer mix being knocked out of the primer when the round was cycled through the firearm multiple times" This was from...

      Hammer or not?

      That's sorta true. The POTENTIAL accuracy is the exact same. Muzzle velocity, sight radius, etc. are identical. ACTUAL accuracy will likely suffer for the reason stated, heavier trigger pull is harder to control and makes it easier to jerk the gun off target, milk the gun, etc. I can make...

      Recommended Ammo

      What are you wanting to do with it? That's going to influence recommendations a lot. I really wanted one, well actually the S&W version "The Governor", but never could figure out a use for it. I thought about using it as a farm gun for snake shot and whatnot, but ended up just loading snake...

      Do you think there will be an "Assault Rifles" ban or not

      No. Remember how well the Clinton AWB worked for the Democratic congress? So do they. I haven't seen any serious discussion of new firearms regulations. There's a lot of hot button issues that have taken its place, like the economy in the tank, two foreign wars, illegal aliens and their...

      Cool old stuff that might have no actual value

      Two, actually. A Stevens 12g pump shotgun. I carried it from the time I was 12 when I went squirrel hunting. It was my granddad's gun on my dad's side, but quickly became "my gun". I inherited it upon his death. A Marlin .22 that belonged to my grandpa on my mom's side. It was the...

      Carrying at a gun show

      I won't do business with any gun shop that says "no loaded guns" on the door. Period. I actually went to one of the sponsors on this site because of recommendations and then just left the parking lot. Frankly, its hypocrisy on the part of the owner. I'm sure if anyone asked you'd say its...

      Take the bait...

      I don't know the law about shipping guns and whatnot, but let's ask an even more basic question. The way I'm reading it though, he's asking you to ship it and then he'll pay you? Let's ask an even more basic question, then: Would you send any stranger ANYTHING of value with the...

      Worst new gun you have owned

      Hi-point 9mm carbine. It was really cheap, something like $300 with the laser. I bought it for a barn gun. I had a problem with a BUNCH of raccoons and the occasional possum getting in the feed. I figured with the laser it'd be easy to hit the little guys in the dark, and it was so cheap and...

      Need to be packing when your buying

      Galyans had a guy in Indianapolis kill himself with one of their 20g shotguns in the store back around 2001. James something-or-other, if I remember right. If they didn't have the policy before that, I bet they sure did afterward.

      Need to be packing when your buying

      So what do all you fellows do when you go to the gun stores that say "no loaded weapons inside" or the like? Seems like a lot of them in the Indy area say that.

      i thought on gun and ammo prices

      Electronics. Computers, GPS units, VCR/DVD players, etc. All way cheaper than when they first came out. Telephone service. You don't have to lease a phone from the telephone company any longer, and kids today don't even know what "long distance" means. Cell phones are way cheaper and not...

      Cash America Pawn - Gun Sales

      I find that out recently myself, the reason is every gun any shop takes in on pawn goes to that web site. I wonder if they consolidate under one FFL for financial reasons or if they just make more money like that or what.

      Range Report: Penetration Testing of Residential Brick Walls (Pic Heavy)

      When I was a boy I worked as a house framer in the summers. I remember we ran "brick freeze" around the house, the brick wasn't sitting right against the wall, as it had to have room to expand and contract with temperature shifts. The brick freeze was, if I remember right a 1x4 and a 1x6 with...
