    Accuracy of S&W Model 41 Part 2 - 50 Yards

    It would be very interesting to try that 50 yard experiment with Eley Tenex.

    The .22 Is So Weak!!!

    I had a photo of a three man Israeli sniper team operating during the last Gaza raid. The marksman was armed with a scoped 10/22, it had a shortened barrel and was suppressed. I did not see an extended magazine. I understand they are used at distances up to 50 meters. I would suspect head shots...

    100 yard groups

    There are people with scoped M41s that can keep about a 1 moa group at 100 yards with Tenex and no wind. I would think, assuming a good trigger and carefully loaded ammunition that the .44 is capable if the marksman is.

    Ideas for backstop

    I once had a backstop made of two layers of railroad ties behind a steel plate bullet trap. I was younger, stronger, and not so smart when I stacked those ties, definitely not for bad backs. Yes the RR will give you ties when they are re-ballasting, but you have to pick them up, load them into...

    Where does your state rank?

    Bogus numbers based upon averages of averages, a waste of time and energy.

    3 percent of adults own half the nation's guns

    Two quick facts; One; No one knows with any certainty how many guns (rifles, handguns, & shotguns) there are in the US. Two; No one knows who owns them or where they are located. It is true that governments in states with tight registration laws in place for many years have a fair idea of the...

    School book definition of the 2nd.

    I am fairly certain that a close reading of almost any school text book, especially in Social Studies, will uncover many factual errors, omissions, slanted view points, and so forth. I know for a fact that teachers are taught a great deal of bilge in Education Classes, so I suppose it is...

    Waiting Period

    Ditrina; I hate to suggest that the Orlando Slantinal and it's fine unbiased reporters may have it wrong, but in checking the FL AG's site and the statues, I see nothing to support their position. I think the State has preempted all county and local firearms laws and regulations. I believe the...

    Is what is good for the goose really good for the gander?

    "I was really upset when a judge granted the families of the victims of Sandy Hook the right to file suit against Bushmaster." A State judge allowed the attorneys for the family to sue, however they will lose the case because Federal Law preempts this theory of "product liability". It is a...

    Performance Center 952-2 longslide vs Performance Center PPC9 6"

    I have a Pardini GT with the 6" barrel. It has a superb trigger and the sights are typical of a high end match pistol. I also have a CZ 75 from the CZ Custom Shop which is on a par with my P210. I have reviewed some ransom rest tests done in Europe to test the precision of various commercial...

    Please educate me about being "interviewed" by law enforcement agency

    Read what Cajun said again. Stewart was interviewed a length by two agents, there was no recording. She had no lawyer present. The agent's recollection of what she said was at variance with what she remembered. She went to jail and was fined based upon the difference in recollections. I wasn't...

    S&W 41 Advice

    As I see it you have a dilemma, you bought a M41 + box for at a price considerably below market assuming the pistol is in very good or better condition. The dilemma is that you will be hard pressed to find another pistol at that price even without a box. If I were the seller I would apologize...

    Update ver. 2.0: Not bonding with my 3913 -- can anything be done?

    A few years ago I looked for but could not find a 3913 so I bought a P239 SAS. I tried to like the 239 and carried it for a while but always felt top heavy to me. I had a chance to buy an NOS 3913 from forum member and did. Once I changed out the awful plastic grips for Hogues I knew the 239...

    Hey Michiganders Looking for nice lake within 1 hour of Grand Rapids

    I do wish you luck, many people spend years looking before they find a place that suits them. If I were looking I would forget areas close to Grand Rapids and Muskegon and head further North. Even the smaller lakes are under a great deal of pressure if they can provide a weekend escape from big...

    Swap Meet Victory...not a gun

    Did it not come with the standard? The standard looks a bit like a thick washer. In practice they are a bit more difficult to use than pin gauges and not suited to small holes. However, everyone needs at least one.
