Not nearly as exciting a story as yours but I raised three sons and coached a number of years of little league baseball and I always wore a cup. And the title of this thread is a little misleading cause Im pretty sure it should be bullet resistant.
After I survived my chemo and radiation the oncologist talked to me and the wife about what is referred to as chemo brain. He said that if I forgot things, couldnt remember things or lost track of things it was because of the chemo. I had a really big smile all the way home. The wife asked me if...
Hey just curious if anyone else saw the Hellcat go through 10,000 rounds without a failure? And since that wasnt enough the same gun was put through another 10,000 rounds with no failures. I am of the belief that dry firing isnt such a good idea. Just because some expert says its ok and a good...
Yes Hans its no where near deaths in a lot of areas. As much as I respect your comments this in my opinion wasnt what Hayes comment was about. I and most people my age were brought up to respect law enforcement. But now a huge segment of our society doesnt respect anything and the number of...
I have been shooting for quite a number of years as a lot of guys on this forum and I have never had and problems with any magazines until recently when I bought some ED BROWN 8 round 1911 Mags when they had a five mag special. One of the first things I do when getting new magazines is to load...
I made a comment about feeling sorry for all the anti gun folks. Do you remember who introduced you to the shooting sports whether it be through hunting ,plinking or formal shooting at a gun range. I remember everyone of mine from my father to the family friend we hunted Quail with to my...
Mr T said it best in saying "I pity the fool." Every time I read or view people that hate guns I kinda feel sorry for them in that the didnt have a father ,uncle or family friend that taught them about firearms, Taking them hunting or to the range when done properly is a great experience and can...
I have a S&W 625 that when reloading I used Unique for my reloads. I would fire several hundred rounds in a session and had to always have a toothbrush to clean under the moon clips and the ejector. I switched to Winchester 231 and eliminated that problem. It is my understanding that M-16s when...
Interesting comment. I always thought Remington ammo was very dirty and after a couple of tries I quit buying it. But I am kinda curious if it is still the same since being under new management. Any comments ?
I can assure you the 22 caliber pellet rifle if you plan on having to dispatch varmints is the smallest you should go. A 177 is only good for holes in paper. Having said that I highly recommend the Crossman Shockwave in 22 with the Nitro Piston technology. It is a great rifle. You can leave it...
When I was 12 my older brother along with our mother attended a home firearm safety course. This was in 1968 so training was a lot different. We had Lt Dan Combs of OHP who used to do his quick draw gun safety program along with a FBI agent and the two local police chiefs. When the program got...
I remember when my father told me when he used a belt on me that it hurt him worse than it did me. Boy that was hard to believe. But until you become a parent that truth doesnt become apparent .
Have you tried loading one round less than maximum.? It seems I have heard this on several different types of firearms. And have you had this happen on one magazine or all the ones you have?
Mine too. My wife bought me a Benelli M1 Super 90 for my birthday one year and I love it so much I have never taken it out to shoot. Hard to explain that but I will get this Mossberg and shoot it regularly .
