    Tariffs, where are we?

    Not a political thread - I just want to know if the US still has tariffs on Canadian imports. Google and DDG are all garbage and don’t help. I think we paused the tariffs, but it’s hard to find out. Main reason for asking, my wife loves to complain about the rising price of stuff at Trader...

    686-5 ejector rod loose

    The revolver is currently locked shut, empty, and this is the second time the ejector rod has come loose. I thought I had it tightened. Is this something that should get Loktite? It’s functioned perfectly for years, now it isn’t.

    Shipping ammo via UPS

    I sold some ammo and needed to ship it, and UPS has clear instructions. https://www.ups.com/us/en/support/shipping-support/shipping-special-care-regulated-items/hazardous-materials-guide/how-to-ship-ammunition “ Cartridges, small arms may be shipped only through a UPS Scheduled Pickup Account...

    Bud’s Gun and Molasses Shop

    Yes, it’s a first world problem. I decided to save the junk fee for credit cards, and did the ACH payment method. It took a day for funds to be deducted from my account, but a week for it to process on their end, and it still hasn’t shipped. Makes me wonder if the item wasn’t actually in...

    Glock discontinues “those” calibers

    .40 S&W and .357 SIG, that is. No more Glocks in those calibers. Seems like the canary in the coal mine - who will abandon those next? https://youtu.be/XahmNUBScv4?si=Hz457n0WXU0iWxmb

    USAA

    I’ve been with USAA insurance for about 35 years. Always been satisfied with their service. But their premiums have gotten way too high. Has anyone ditched them and regretted it? Or is my loyalty for nothing?

    6 round J-frame in .32 H&R Magnum. Wholesale Firearms / Shooting Sports Distributor - Exclusive Firearms - Handguns, Shotguns, Rifles, Silencers, Shooting Sports Accessories - Lipseys.com The front sight looks snaggy, but 16 oz in a mild but decent cartridge, and compact, it’s got me thinking...

    Linear Compensators

    Linear compensators direct the gasses and sound down range. The sound level at the shooter’s ear can be lower. Not necessarily quieter, just aimed away from the shooter. The devices are as low as fifty bucks and need no tax stamp. I’m not sure how these don’t meet the ATF’s definition of a...

    Auto Start Stop

    Do any new vehicles come without the Auto Start Stop feature? Its acronym fits it well. The car maker websites don’t mention the feature, presumably because they know buyers hate it. I’m starting to think a horse and buggy would be preferable to the vehicles being made today. I know, first...

    Marine life vests

    Where’s the best place to buy a good life vest for boating? I know about the different types, and I know the big box stores sell some. What I don’t know is are the ones at those stores **** like most of their other products? Or are theirs good enough for years of recreational boating? I mean...

    UPS 2nd day air takes 6 days

    Label created June 19th, in UPS’s hands June 20th, supposed to be delivered June 25th. I remember when you could trust UPS, but now the names of their shipping options are just cruel clickbait. “Overnight” probably takes 5 days. :mad: Rant over, carry on.

    Local indoor range has changed for the better

    I went to renew my membership today and found that they now have a rifle range for up to 300BLK. That's totally new. It's only about 24 yards, but hey. They also let you shoot your own ammo as long as it doesn't stick to a magnet. I didn't ask about reloads, but they still have a sign saying...

    9mm lever gun

    Pricey, but intriguing. If it feeds well and doesn’t chain fire, hopefully other makers will try this at an affordable price point. Lever Actions | Taylor's Firearms

    Car key fob programming

    In a metro area of a million people, why is it so hard to find a locksmith to program a car key fob? We lost one of the two. I ordered a replacement, but everyone I reach out to either can’t program it or just doesn’t answer. Maybe I’m using the wrong search terms? It’s a 2024 Hyundai...

    Bye bye, 4Runner

    I was planning to replace my vehicle in four years, max, and hoped Toyota would keep making 4Runners without fixing what wasn’t broken. Well, my dream is dashed. No more bulletproof V6, turbo only. I wanted something that would last till I die or could no longer drive. I don’t trust turbos...

    M&P 2.0 .45 with “new” trigger

    I just picked this up, and the trigger is the same as on the new 2.0 series, which I like a lot. However… This particular one is gritty. In fact, it’s a whole new level of gritty that I have never before encountered. It’s like dragging a brick along a cracked, broken sidewalk. I haven’t fired...

    Semiauto with revolver trigger?

    The things I think of when laying in bed before my alarm goes off... Most of us love our revolvers because they have a safe long heavy(ish) double action trigger, which you can thumb back as desired to have a short crisp light single action shot. Yeah, they made lots of DA/SA semiautos, but...
