My first and only experience with a 1911 was a Spanish made Clone. It was a Jam-O-Matic. No matter what ammo I fed it, after 2 or 3 shots, it would jam. I couldn't sell that gun fast enough. So I admit to being a little biased against it just because of that experience. It's a complex design...

Excellent article Dr. Dabbs. I've always had an interest in the Welrod, though they're rare enough, I've never examined one close and personal. You bring up a point there's been much discussion about on other forums, and that is how quiet can we reduce the report? It's my understanding the...

My error. I meant to leave it at single action, and got ahead of myself *and forgot to proof rad it) Thanks for correcting my misstatement.

Really, it comes down to a personal choice. If you're comfortable with a single stack, single action full size gun for CCW, and it has no issues feeding your preferred Self Defense Ammo, then go for it. Personally, I think there are better options, but that's my opinion, and the only one who...

Yes, I had gotten a really great deal on the AutoComp ($10 for the pound), but had Zero experience with the powder. Following the Starting Load, I loaded up a box of 50 (usually I do just 10). Didn't matter which gun, it wouldn't cycle the slide. Jumped up a bit the second go around and it still...

In general, I agree with you. At one time, I would've added any Controlled Substance to the statement. Now, I would say that small amounts of Alcohol or legally prescribed medications are OK, as long as there is no Impairment. If you're starting to get a buzz from it, you shouldn't carry...

I would hold that everything Col. Cooper taught still holds significant significance today and tomorrow. His condensing of the 10 Commandments to 4 Cardinal Rules of Gun Safety is a monumental change. How many of us learned the 10 rules as kids, only to find that Col. Cooper's 4 rules were a lot...

Thank you Mr. Ayoob. Sharinv your keen insight and experience is much appreciated. I learned I was Cross Dominant at a young age. Made me a good pinch hitter in baseball. I learned fairly early in handling pistols, that I used a modified my stance all on my lonesome. Later, Instructors would...

Commierado is right in line behind them.

Truly, the helicoptor has probably had more impact on modern Warfare than any other aircraft or vehicle designed in comparison From Medevac to Transport, Recovery and Rapid Resupply to Weapons Delivery Platform it's performed exceptionally in every role chosen for it. 'Nam was over by the time I...

Yes, I've wanted one for years. Not enough to pay the Ridiculous and Unconstitutional $200 Mother May I gouging Fee and add my name to the "First To Be Confiscated" List. Repeal the NFA, then we'll talk.

And that, is a big mistake, and a recipe for disaster. There are some areas of the country that it's possible to live off the land, but out West in the Rockies (where we're at), there's a reason why the Natives lived a nomadic Hunter/Gatherer lifestyle and not in established communities like...

We're in the same boat, though my wife's in better shape for walking than I. Uncle Arthrite has decided to attack my hips and knees, so attempting to walk very far, is not a viable option, but a last ditch effort. I too prefer the AR in a caliber other than 5.56, but went with .300 Blackout...

I agree, though I admit it took me a couple of years to come to that same conclusion. At first, I jumped all aboard the Bug Out Train, but then common sense and reality finally raised its head. That our BO location was no more secure than our home and the reality of old age and arthritis that I...

If weight isn't a concern, then yes its a viable Bug Out Rifle. Weight is or should be a prime concern in all of one's Bug Out gear, according to the "experts," and if we assume that statement is true, and considering I've backpacked it all over the Colorado Rockies, and can very much attest to...

Yep, I started in the mid 70's, and I've a couple of boxes of old Federal with the price tag I kept for nostalgia, that were $1.15 for the box. I began stocking up more in 2019, when a friend forwarded me a Midway Factory Second Bullet sale. The prices were too good to pass up, as they were...

How high are their Haz Mat Fees? One reason I haven't bought much ammo, powder or primers online, is the HazMat gouge eats into the money you think you're saving.

I've been reloading for 40+ years, and used to load my .338 Win Mag to the limit. I like my target loads to mimic whatever I'm going to carry in the gun, so I start low and work my way up towards the max, trying to Preach that compromise of velocity and accuracy. Except for the primers, most...

Old like to get a 10 mm, since I reload for .40, and my dies will do both. Though I'd probably go for a 1911 chambered in 10 rather than another striker fired gun. What's kept me from taking the plunge is the ammo. I can find PD ammo, but not a single box of target, unless it's a bulk purchase...
