The tragic events of that day have had great influence on law enforcement training and equipment. It led to the FBI testing of ammunition that is so well known today. The Smith and Wesson 1076 was adopted by the FBI after the initial tests. Smith and Wesson looked at the performance of the...

You can't go wrong with an 870. There is a model called the "HD" for home defense comes with a 18 inch bead sight barrel, synthetic stocks, and a factory installed magazine extension. I have seen them at a lot of big chain sporting goods stores and gunshows for about $400. You can always add...

But the badge that "Dog the Bounty Hunter" has is sooo cool. Very bad idea all the way around.

To put it as simply as possible, you move the rear sight in the direction you want the point of impact to move. Since you are shooting low and left, you need to move the rear sight up and right. Do one at a time to make it easier. Looking down on top of the pistol you will see a screw on the...

By BreakerDan While I will agree that the 158 grain lead hollowpoint is a good load, the FBI has been very specific in what it requires. While the average citizen may never consider it, the FBI places great emphasis on penetration after passing through barriers. The worst barrier being...

EvelMe, If you have serial number VLM5971 I want it. (badly) That was the one that was issued to me. That was a few years back, but after writing the serial number on my qualification targets so many times, I still remember it. I meant to keep up with when Gwinnett County was going to trade...

I am not trying to be a jerk here, but is that the same article that "fully described" that the FBI's 1076's functioned differently than other 1076s because of the FBI's training to "prep" the trigger? In your original post you stated that the FBI's 1076's were different because of the...

Gorme, First of all welcome to the Forum. Looking for the rational thoughts made by the administration of any law enforcment agency can be difficult. I say that because I have been in that line of work for almost 20 years. A better question is "what fits you?'. I am very fortunate and have...

Of all the gunshot wounds I have witnessed the following has to be the strangest: A young female was standing next to her friend (or whatever he may have been called that particular night) who was sitting on a concrete block. He was screwing around with a .25 ACP, and somehow managed to shoot...

The same thing happened in Virginia. The reporter said that it was his First Amendment right to publish the list. Several victims of violent crimes, including stalking victims, were extremely upset and said that they would have to move AGAIN, because their address was now known to their...

I like Brownell's magazines. They are a good company to deal with and now have mags back in stock after recovering from my last order. If you don't like them, you can return them. Like I said Brownell's is a good company. A lot of people get caught up in "factory" mags but almost no (if...

With a punch and maybe 60 seconds of work you could fix that. The "NY trigger" is just an extra V shaped plastic part with a spring that adds extra tension. Yank it out and you will have the original setup. I know, I know, unpaid vacations suck. But if you were ever so inclined it is an easy...

The FBI wanted a 10mm pistol with certain specifications. What they wanted was a pistol that pretty much functioned like a traditional Sig. The FBI did not want a pistol that had a magazine disconnect or a safety. Up until that point Smith semi autos were designed with a magazine disconnect...

In addition, some people choose to obey laws and others do not. So who knows what kind of critter may be found running loose. I have had my fun with this thread, but I do agree that dangerous animals running around in the wrong place are a serious issue. One of the biggest problems I have...

The Remington Reduced Recoil rounds amazed me the first time I shot them out of an 870. The recoil was very light and they patterned very well. I was shooting the 8 pellet 00 buckshot load. I have been using this load in my 870 for close to 10 years now. They do have problems in some semi...

Welcome. Not sure what part of the Atlanta area you are from, but I lived in Gwinnett County for about five years.

What a silly question! Any woman who buys her husband a gun for Christmas is welcome here. You will enjoy it here. Have fun.

I am just looking for honest opinions. What if the chimp was wearing a flea collar? Wouldn't you want to be able to change your ammo, knowing that you would not be dealing with the flea barrier?

I hate it when I read something I posted and realize I left out a whole word. My post should have said "want to take" but at the time I was laughing at my own immature humor and trying to censor myself. I think that was about the third time I tried to type it without being offensive. Anyway...

Earmuffs used with plugs is a good idea. Like any other product there is a lot of crap out there and you get what you pay for. I like Peltor earmuffs. They cost a little more but they are worth it. The throw away foam plugs work best for me. Stay away from the plastic kind. The foam plugs...
