That's why, when in bear country, the firearm should be in hand and not holstered or slung. It is the same as when following up on other dangerous game. One needs to be ready...really ready. The other thing to remember is: Aim low. They will be coming much faster than the average fellow can...

I learned to craft my own ammunition from the Sierra manuals. I still have my original two volume (rife and pistol) edition AND it still gets referred to as my "go-to" data base. Make notes and keep them in a safe place. I would also suggest purchasing a lose leaf binder with dividers so you can...

Either I peaked before I realized that was what was happening or I’m still waiting. I never was good at: Spelling Math Running Chess Dancing Remembering names (Heck, I still have issues with remembering my own name! That’s why I had it embroidered on my work shirts.) Remembering numbers...

As with so much in the firearms industry (and life) there are compromises to be made. Every choice must be made by weighing cost, user friendliness, safety, and effectiveness. This same weighing of benefits extends from caliber, ammunition, platform size, and cost(s) all the way down to the...

I originally wanted to be a watch smith. I was dissuaded by everyone, including my personal watch smith. Now I find out it is a lucrative trade. I should have followed my original ambition. As it was, I wound up taking all sorts of machinery apart and repairing it for forty years. Do what makes...

Hey, this entire thread reeks suspiciously of "politics". I've been smacked around before for writing like this. All this talk of Leftist false flags seems like the sort of thing the censors would get perturbed over. If this were Twitter or Facebook, the thread would have been deleted. Proof...

I too have a crappy trigger on my XD-s. I fooled with springs and such but its still a miserable excuse AND it eats my fingers! That is the worst part. I even bought a flat shoe from an unnamed source and it, if you can believe it, made the pull even worse. I wrote the company and they expressed...

I saw a YouTube video the other day with a lawyer associated with one of the self defense insurance companies who said something to the effect of: If a malicious prosecuting attorney discovers that you, as the self defender, have used handloads in your shooting, he will probably accuse you of...

Does this fall into the arena of "politics"?

I'm guessing that this judge knows almost any firearm can be made to operate fully automatically as long as you have a machine shop and you know what you are doing. This is just another end-run attempt by a Leftist activist. California...need I say more? PS Any automobile or truck can be...

I thought the California ammunition tax was passed to "pay for gun violence"??? One day, California will begin to hoover above the Pacific ocean because no one but the Pixy Dust and Unicorn Wings types will be living there. After all, if Congressman Johnson can worry Guam will capsize from...

I always sing my contracts and sign in church. Don't you? My spell check is set for English but it sometimes misses my mistooks anyway. Proof reading is the only solution.

If the projectile is lodged in the throat/rifling and the case is pulled from it while manually trying to eject the unfired round, it sounds as though the chamber was cut to improper dimensions. I would deem this firearm unsafe to use and that it should be returned to the factory with a complete...

I always want a full compliment of ammunition on board because part of my early training drilled in the concept of "Be Prepared"' I do not want to be over whelmed by the remainder of the pack of hyenas while rendering first aid to myself or my target (assuming I won the initial engagement). My...

I thought the article would generate some interest and debate. I was right! I maintain the use of sights and good marksmanship most times obviates the necessity for reloading in the middle of a fight. No matter how much ammunition has been expended, no matter how many rounds are left on-board...

I believe the main idea of the chest level reload is to keep you eyes in the game and not down pointed at the ground in front of you. Ya gotta keep an eye on them varmints!

I once attended the NRA annual convention in Houston. The Beretta booth had a few of their double rifles on display. I had the opportunity to handle, fondle and drool over one of their more pedestrian 470 Nitros. At that time it was a mere $12,000. The sales folks treated me with the utmost...

Perhaps the best thing about Beretta is the fact that they have been family owned since their founding. Now that's impressive!
