Go to a range that rents handguns and try several. They will all go bang but find one that fits you. My problem is that I like most of them and that makes a decision difficult. So, I bought several different brands.
If you are a beginner, take some classes before you decide. Training and...
I did not buy a .40 because I did not want to load a new caliber. Then I bought a 10 mm. I can use the dies for that to load 40's but I do not plan to.
In 1963, I was sitting on a hill on the Mississippi State Campus and I dug up fossilized sea shells on the hill. The earth is in a constant state of change.
In South Louisiana, the land is sinking, not the ocean rising. https://www.livescience.com/4186-real-reason-louisiana-sinking.html
I took my S&W .460 Mag to an indoor range once. When I fired it everyone in the range looked over to see "What the Hell was that?". I decided then that it was an outdoor gun.
I have an AR with a muzzle brake. I do not shoot it at a range if some one is next to me because it will slap them when...
The best thing to understand is when you are approached by an officer is that the officer is in charge. Be polite and comply with their instructions even if they are wrong. If they are in error, take it up with an attorney later.
The agent should have been trained how to handle this situation...
I develop software and I can answer your question about spam calls. I too have received calls from my number.
You can use software to generate the caller id or sender's email address. The numbers are generated randomly, frequently using the same area code and first 3 digits of the person...
I reload 308 and 7.62X51 NATO AND L2A2. L2A2 is a British equivalent to NATO. I separate the .308 from the rest. I only shoot the NATO and L2A2 in my M1A. I shoot the .308 in my 700 Police. In this case the military brass holds around 1 grain less powder.
.223 case holds 28.8 grains and 556...
Who wants to waste that much money? I have a nephew that likes to empty mags if you let him shoot your AR. He does not even aim it, just empties the mag. I make sure that the mag only has a few rounds in it so that he will not waste ammo.
I have a Glock 21 and a 19 that I bought that were police trade-ins. Both were around 370 with 3 mags. I cerakoated the 21 and put a laser and a Wilson match barrel. Total investment around $600. It already had Mepro sights on it but the front pipe was broken. I replaced it with a red pipe that...
Just before the ban, in 1995, I bought a 92FS Centurion that came with 15 round mags. I later put an adjustable rear sight on it. I still enjoy shooting it.
I replaced the front sight on my 624 with a fiber optic sight. I bought it from https://dawsonprecision.com/. They have multiple heights .145 to .385. They also have several widths. They also have plain black sights.
You will notice that 70123 includes Elmwood Shopping Center and businesses in that area. I was told that it is listed as New Orleans because the businesses wanted a recognizable city name when the business park was created. Even though it is in Jefferson Parish, many internet based businesses...
