I think all of my 9mm and even .380acp defense rounds come off that list - with the exception being some boxes of Hornady Critical Duty (versus Critical Defense) that I picked up a few months ago, mostly because they were out of Hornady XTP and Critical Defense on that trip to the LGS during the...

Hmmm. That is definitely not one would expect to see on a brand new out of the box firearm. I would expect that on a used gun where it had feed issues, and a round nosedived into the base of the ramp really hard on an attempt to chamber the round. Is the damaged area blued, or raw metal? I am...

Accuracy is all relative. Is an M16/M4/AR15 a sniper rifle for making 1000 yard shots? No. Can it be very accurate at 200-300 yards or less? Yes. Is it as accurate as a high end bolt action rifle? No. The way I look at it, is how accurate do you NEED it to be, and how often are you shooting...

Ok - AR magazines they will pay you $35 for. You can buy those online new for like $10-12, so I think I see a way for you to turn some cash...

I was 23, had my first engineering job, and a co-worker was into competitive shooting, and talked to me about it a lot. I went out and bought a Ruger Mark II target pistol with a 5.5" bull barrel, which I still have, at the same LGS I still go to for their indoor range, ammo, etc. This was in...

When I go to the indoor range, I wear a set of foam plugs under my Walker's Razor muffs. The Razor amplifies conversation enough to hear through the plugs, and the plugs give me more blocking of all the stuff going on in the range. Maybe outdoors the Razor would be enough by itself.

That sounds like my dad's experience in the US Army as well, around 59-62 give or take. He says there was never hearing protection, and his hearing is far from good. I believe he qualified on most of the weapons you list, before getting into wire guided anti-tank missiles and heavy weapons. I...

I've actually done this exact thing with my Ruger LCP in a Desantis Superfly holster, to even out things when sitting for a long time! ;)

That's a keeper for sure!

They have the hammer block if that is what you are talking about. It's a little different than a regular thumb safety, but is certainly useful. They still tell you in the instruction manual to not carry on a loaded chamber, as it can fire if dropped, if the hammer block is off, which is...

As a school kid in the 1970's, I can recall first hand what happened the one year the country stayed on DST throughout the winter of 1974-1975. It meant that I had to walk to the school bus stop in pitch blackness, carrying a flashlight, freezing my rear end off, and wait with the other kids in...

One thing to be aware of with the Heritage revolvers, in case you are not already, is that they do not include the safety features of some other single action revolvers such as those from Ruger (transfer bar, etc). They operate pretty much in the same fashion of the Colt Single Action Army, and...

Martino, The unfortunate fact is that you won't make more than half what you paid for that brand new XDS if you sell it to a gun shop or pawn shop, if that. Maybe they will trade it even for a cheap AR chambered in 22LR - certainly something to consider. I understand your financial situation...

I try to keep a basic first aid kit in each vehicle, and a larger one in the house. When I was in a regular office, we kept a large first aid kit there. When I used to camp with the scouts (as a leader or as a parent), we always ensured someone had a full first aid kit in their pack. I read...

The rules on private sale of a firearm vary by state. If you live in Alabama, you could sell it to someone you know, easily. It's not as easy in many states. Selling back to a local gun store or pawn shop you will not even get back half what you spent on it, even with just 5 rounds through it...

I cast my vote for pistol, as my carry is a Springfield XDM 3.8 Compact, and I feel it is more concealable than most revolvers, due to the 1.2" thickness. That said, if I could not carry, and it was for home defense, I would change my vote to revolver. I have my great granddad's S&W M&P .38...

You purchased a small, concealed carry weapon. You bought this for carry and personal protection - something that a AR-22 is not. Sure, 9mm practice ammo was about 14 cents a round 15 months ago, and has gone up a lot, but it is starting to trend back down. 5 rounds is not even breaking in...

My cousin, a life long resident of California, along with her husband, are leaving San Diego for central Tennessee, south of Nashville. They own a trucking business, and are finally fed up with the rules, restrictions, and cost of living and doing business out there. They've developed business...

A video that was posted on here recently from the President (or CEO?) of Federal Ammo indicates that they only sold primers on the open market when they had excess above what they needed in house. He said that right now, all of their primers are going into making their own ammo, and they simply...

Ugh. I don't want to think it will be 6-7 years for ammo pricing to recover. I'll just pretend I didn't read this...
