    How worthwhile is it to save my .38 and .357 brass?

    Very worthwhile. If you collect your brass, you could: 1) reload it yourself if you ever get started reloading 2) give it to a friend who reloads 3) sell it to a reloader or trade it for something you want 4) sell it to a scrap metal recycler (I believe ammo cases bring in $1.25-1.75/pound -...

    I hate morals

    It's not morals, it's the recognition that gun karma exists. Lie about something so that you can buy it cheap, and you know that the universe is going to slap a big bullseye target on your back.

    California CCW

    You apply through your county sheriff, usually. Most city PD chiefs can issue LTC permits, but they prefer to delegate the responsibility to the sheriff. California law says that you need a good cause for being granted a permit. Unfortunately, they don't define what a good cause is, and leave...

    How much your CCW Permit cost?

    Can you break down those fees for us? I didn't think the California LTC was that expensive.

    IDPA vests

    5.11 vest. I compete to win, and the stiffness of the canvas material sweeps out of the way on the draw much faster/more reliably than an overshirt or sweat shirt. They are pricey, but there is a reason that most of the top shooters choose them. If you are aren't so focused on the game aspect...

    M&P Shield 9 garbage wish I hadn't bought

    For dry firing, you should NOT have to fully rack the slide. That's putting unnecessary wear and tear on the gun when all you should have to do is pull the slide back 1/4" to reset the trigger. To do otherwise several dozen or a hundred times a practice session is putting stress on the slide...

    Buying on GB.com

    Thanks so much for standing by us. Glad you think that it is easy as "vote them out" when we live in a state where we are out-numbered 2:1 by anti's. Personally, I would think that you would want to stick a finger in the anti's eyes by making sure that pro-2A Californians aren't hurt by these...

    Buying on GB.com

    No, it isn't. There are three issues that you have to deal with when buying on Gunbroker and shipping into California. First it must be received an an FFL, second is whether there are any California-specific laws that apply to the gun, and third, it has to be sent by an FFL that is registered...

    Tony Romo...Or how to beat up on a Cowboy fan

    The '79 Steelers and the '81 49ers were absolutely god-like teams. Nobody spanked a Cowboy like those teams (at least when the Cowboy wasn't on Brokeback Mountain). :D

    Origins of the Model 14 Full Lug & An Introduction to the SWCA

    Did the factory produce a full-lug 4" model? I thought I read that they did a batch for a distributor.

    M&P Compact 9mm?s why

    First and foremost, it's about what your preference is. The right gun for one guy isn't the right gun for every guy. I had a Glock 23 as my LTC gun, but hated the block-of-wood feel to it. Sold it and got an M&Pc in .40. That was the right decision for me. The M&Pc is smaller than the G19/G23...

    Question about versacarry...

    Personally, I don't like the idea of my skin's oils and sweat being against the metal of my gun all day long.

    What is your handgunning preference?

    I'm a semi-auto guy, but I'm appreciating revolvers more as I get older.

    Silly boy...don't you know you're supposed to nuke it from orbit? It's the only way to be sure.

    What a loss. The finest SAAs made today, and they offered a pretty great selection of finishes and barrel lengths.
