    Has anyone here shot anyone as a civilian?

    I don't know where "here" is at, but HERE in Texas, If you shoot someone TODAY, you will spend more than a few minutes in the back of a cruiser!

    Has anyone here shot anyone as a civilian?

    I have, in 2004, and don't recommend the experience! You WILL be going to jail, until the police figure out what happened, and the details!

    .50 AE DESERT EAGLE EXPERIENCE - NOT A GOOD ONE!

    Some of you guys need to watch Jerry Miculek shoot the Desert Eagle 50 rapid fire! He shoots like 5 or 6 rounds as fast as the pistol can be fired! And shoots a hell of a group at the same time! Uh, and I didn't see a big S on his shirt, either! I have one, shoot nothing but hot loads in it...

    The new Automag pistols, real, or scam?

    If you look on the new Automag forum, you will see folks that HAVE recieved them complaining about some of the same problems we had in 1974 with them* Also LOTS of complaints about not receiving their pistols after sending in the FULL amount for their pistols! The head of the new company is...

    The new Automag pistols, real, or scam?

    I'm sure it would be, but I paid 375 dollars for mine, not 750 dollars!

    The new Automag pistols, real, or scam?

    Not for me, it wasn't* I bought mine over the counter at McBrides guns, in Austin, Texas* My cousin got his 8 or so at a wholesaler in Houston, Texas* I paid the gigantic sum of 375 dollars for mine* Now, the new company is asking around 3800 dollars for them! Quite a price increase, huh?

    The new Automag pistols, real, or scam?

    I have been following the Automag forum since the new pistols were announced* It seems that alot of folks that have sent in their money, up to 2 or 3 years ago, still haven't gotten their guns yet* I owned one of the TDE/High Standard marked one from the 1974 period of time* Mine was in...

    Why are 2-piece barrels generally disliked?

    The 2 piece barrels used on the big-frame Dan Wesson revolvers were what made them so accurate! I have a Smith 500 mag, with 8 3/8" barrel, and it shoots lights out at 50 meters! There's nothing wrong with moving into a more modern era, and I think the 2 piece barrels show more potential...

    Detonics Combat Master

    Well, after reading all the glowing reports above on these small pieces of gun makers "art", I have to give my opinion, the one I had was a piece of jamming SH**T! Even with hardball! I got rid of that **** as fast as possible! Fast forward to 1999, the year I got my concealed carry permit*...

    Bought A M1 Garand Need Advice?

    If you reload, you can't go wrong with IMR-4895 powder* I use 46 grains of it, behind any good 150 grain bullet* It shoots 1 1/2 to 2 inch groups at 100 yards out of MY rifle* Your results may vary* I use only CCI large rifle primers, as the primer cups in CCI are tougher than most others* A...

    Target loads for 500 S&W Magnum?

    I have about 15 lbs of SR-4759 that I use in my 500 S&W, with 8 3/8" barrel* I use 23 grains of it behind the RCBS 400 grain bullet, which I cast from wheel weights dropped straight into cold water from the mold* This load gives me 1050 fps at the muzzle* The bad part is that SR-4759 is no...

    The High Standard Sentinel

    I had a 6" barreled model, bought it from Western Auto* I bought it in '65, kept it until '73, and sold it to my great uncle* He killed himself with it about 4 years later, after his wife, my aunt, died a horrible death from brain cancer* A young family member ended up with it, and asked me...

    Mike Venturino has passed

    A good friend of mine was a UPI photographer, and he met Mike a couple of times* He told me that Mike planned when he was still in college to be a gun writer* Said he was the only person he knew that actually set out to be a firearms magazine writer* I've always enjoyed his writing, and I...

    Hardest ammo/primers to ignite

    Back in the mid-70's, I loaded all the ammunition for my business partner who dealt in the sale of the original Automag pistols* I used only CCI large pistol primers as they had the rep of being the toughest primers* The reason was that if I used any other make of primer, they would pierce...
