Racking it is not hard. Field stripping it and re-assembling it is a challenge.

I've been quiet too long. Here, more than in other places, but still quiet. Too long. I was one who attended the Lobby Day rally this past Monday. I did not go into the "free-fire zone" as I did not want to relinquish my sidearm. By the same token, I went in disguise, as a normal, everyday...

A grateful citizen of the greatest country in the world thanks those who served to make and keep it that way!

Uh, no. PBS wasn't founded until 1970. But other than that, I too, lived and loved that era. My original answer was going to be 1964-1974 (you just said 'decade'). I loved the music (San Francisco "psychedelic" and British "invasion" rock), the cars (big block V8 power monsters), and the...

It's kind of funny (in a peculiar, not "ha-ha" way). I've asked some of my non-gun owning friends which of the two pictured is the "deadlier?" Then I tell them that they are both .22LR semi-automatic rifles. The only difference between the two is that one has a "traditional" look and the...

**BUMP** I've been looking at 3913/3914/3953/908's for a while. There seems to be a lot of online activity selling the 3913 (especially the Ladysmith model). I admit, I'm intrigued. Today, I went to the range and shot my SIG Sauer P290RS, which is a compact, DAO single stack pistol. It's...

My eyes are hurting. Why, oh why, did I ever open this thread???

*I* am part of the well-regulated militia. Everyone is. The intention of the Founders was to preserve the right of the people to protect themselves not only from harm directed at me by others, but also against a tyrannical government, who might seek to usurp the people's power. Critical to...

This thread had its genesis as the result of my daughter being at home with my two year-old granddaughter one night, and hearing sounds in the house, the dog barking angrily and persistently, and son-in-law at work. She called me, very spooked, as she and granddaughter (who was sleeping) were...

I have a 360 I bought recently. It's a Scandium frame, chambered in .38 Special and certified for +P. I think it's a terrific gun! From what I gather, S&W produces these in small runs from time to time. Thus, you don't find them in their catalog. But a search on Gunbroker or Wikiarms will...

In Virginia, one doesn't need a permit/license to openly carry (the Constitution preserves that liberty), so one is issued a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) if we don't want to advertise the fact.

My son-in-law and I are trying to get my daughter interested in a handgun. She has a shotgun for home defense, but we both think she ought to also have a carry weapon. The problem is getting her interested in one. I've had her shoot my Sig P938 9mm and my XDs .45. She didn't like the feel...

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

OK, a few off the top of my head (by no means an exhaustive list): Flowers on the Wall - The Statler Brothers Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton When She Believed In Me - David Benoit (vocals by Kenny Loggins) Voices In The Wind - Little Feat Honey - Bobby Goldsboro Spanish Harbor - Vangelis Lucky...

I routinely carry my J frame 360 or Sig P938 in my pocket. One thing I've noticed is that when I look down, it appears like I have the biggest bulge ever showing in my pocket. However, when I look in the mirror, I see nothing. I do use a pocket holster. I like Sticky holsters. They...
