I remember what Blaine is talking about, since I have purchased powder through Cabela's online when it was overpriced where it was available elsewhere, and certain types were generally unavailable anywhere else (like Unique). Kudos to Cabela's online for several things, including their sportswear. S...

Love those Hornady bullets - for jacketed loads. Interesting to learn that the great XTP's are used in muzzle stuffers, as well! I have learned a lot about black powder and muzzleloading from this site, but the above cited document did indeed seem to explain the generalities of the sport quite well....

Ben, I think there are still some good links on the "Links" page here that describe how to paste a photo. I have been preoccupied with stuff so I have not double-checked recently. But here is how I paste, now that PhotoBucket's new management dumped on all of us. I am using Imgur so far wi...

I remember a few posts about the shortened and useful .45 Colt Cowboy Special. Some folks were asking how you cut the brass, or if any was available. Good news - Starline came through again.

Most welcome, Earl. It appears that QL does not like 40 S&W or Barnes bullets. In preparation of some 40's, I have run into yet another huge pressure discrepancy with the Hornady 40 S&W 255gr. HP-XTP. The Hornady manual (10, latest) shows even some mid-range loads that QL puts into the red f...

Another QuickLoad error that greatly impacts pressure information. I will be loading some relatively mild 40 S&W target loads using Speer's 155 gr. #4399 TMJ (truncated full metal jacket) bullet and AA #5, 8.2 grains. Both Speer #13 (Pg. 544) and Speer #14 (Pg. 917) relate this information: COA...

Welcome to the fire!

I gather from your cool arsenal that there are no onerous restrictions in NZ regarding firearms, silencers and the like. What a contrast to conditions here in California.

As Griff stated above, this is THE site to habituate. Great to have you!

Check out some of the recent videos by the brothers Quinn on Gunblast.com. They did some ballistic gel testing at Gunsite. If you look at the testing with the .380 rounds you'll see those aren't your daddy's .380s. Double Tap ammo makes some pretty potent stuff. I agree while I'm a big 9mm fan, I t...

John, I ordered the Bladetech Klipt IWB for the Shield. Looks bomb proof. Will be running Hornady Critical Defense after break in. Had a chance to run some hardball through the little Shield. Very easy pistol to shoot. Totally controllable. This Levergunner is totally sold on both of the above. Hav...

6ptSika, In my state there are so many restrictions that (it appears) the only legal semi-auto carbine that we can currently use are an SKS (7.62x39mm) or the Deerstalker .44 Mag which is no longer sold. Again, from what I understand. Even the Hi-Point 9mm or 40 SW or .45 carbine must now be modifie...

Clever product, OI. Bill, for your consideration on what holster setup might suit you: EVERYDAY CARRY - BladeTech Kydex Klipt Appendix IWB holster - now $23.99. Lightweight, secure, slim, minimalist.

The SW Shield 9 also eats and spits out ammo of all types 100% of the time, per Gun-Tests.com and other reviewers - and me. And its grip and feel are the easiest for me to use and control for any tiny 9mm gun I have tried. And it's American made - not the product of some furriner furniture maker. Th...

My take on all of this: I did not have the opportunity to ride a bike for 20 years or more as I would have liked - a long story.

Thank you for that report, Bob. That is extremely encouraging, even surprising. If one has to produce a handgun in a self-defense scenario, it doesn't make sense to have to search for and fumble with reader glasses. "Spray and pray" does not work in civilian life. The alternative, as state...

Texas is a b-i-g state and so it certainly has a lot of room for chili festivals, and so many Texans act as if they are the only chili aficionados.
