    Slick S&W Revolver Action Modification

    They make some bold claims. They say that it basically does the opposite of stacking – that the pull gets lighter as you pull through. I wouldn't say that I don't believe them, but I will say that there's no free lunch in physics. I wouldn't pay $240, sight unseen, to find that my revolver now...

    Biden says you're sick

    I appreciate the concern. I check for them after I hunt, wash my clothing well, and treat my clothes with permethrin before the season.

    Biden says you're sick

    C'mon man, it's just a hunting gun... for deer... and warning shots. You know the thing.

    2022-2023 Hunting Season

    Cold weekend where I hunt for sure, but a pretty fun one. We hunted all day Saturday with a quick lunch/warmup break. Saw tons of deer, but all antlerless. All told, I saw over 20 deer, a fox, and beautiful owl. We don't shoot antlerless on opening day, so we all went back to camp empty-handed...

    5 takeaways from the red wave that didn’t reach the shore

    I'm disappointed with the results, but I never really expected Zeldin to win, or ever even liked him. At this point, I'm fine with accelerationism. Let them keep voting for this trash. Let the city get more dangerous. Let upstate continue to do whatever it wants. I will fight as long as I'm...

    Supreme Court May strike down affirmative action

    Agreed. Don't even have candidates' names on the paper portion of the application. Let them select applications completely on their merits. No racial discrimination, no gender discrimination, no name recognition at all.

    This BS from MidwayUSA

    This happened to me with Lone Wolf over ordering their "not a Glock" frame and they told me it was for Law Enforcement only in NY. I sent them an e-mail regarding their complicity in going above and beyond the gun-grabbers in enforcing gun control laws that don't even exist and asked the...

    Hillary Clinton - GOP has plans to literally steal 2024 election

    Tell her she's a massive racist for thinking that black people are incapable of getting an ID.

    Blue mountain sportsman center how is it?

    It's a nice range for some calm, outdoor shooting. If you're really from Elmsford, you won't find an outdoor range closer. Things kinda depend on the range you go to, the time of the year, and what you want to do. You have the 100, 200, and 300 yard range. Bench shooting, no rapid fire, no more...

    Fetterman & Oz debate

    He's probably even worse than you think if all you know about him is from the debate. So he was a moocher his whole life, getting an allowance from his rich parents and never having a real job. In his 40s, he was elected mayor of a run-down town outside of Pittsburgh called Braddock, PA. While...

    You can watch the Zeldin vs Hochul debate tonight

    I don't much like Zeldin compared to Astorino, and I still see him as a RINO, but at the end of the day, I'm gonna vote for him if only because of how much worse the alternative is.

    Blue Mountain shooting range Cortlandt

    I had a 1.75-5x Vortex Diamondback mounted on my old Remington 700 since it was a woods hunting setup. The crosshairs were wider than I liked at 200 yards, so I swapped it out for a Burris 4-20x after last hunting season. I haven't shot it with the new stock or scope yet, but once I work up a...

    Blue Mountain shooting range Cortlandt

    I would try calling again on Thursday. They're open Thurs-Sun 10am to 3 or 4pm. They have 300 yard targets, though they seem to rarely get used. I've been meaning to shoot 300, but haven't worked up a load since replacing the stock on my .270.

    Suppressors

    Blueline Tactical in Elmsford has ome on their shelves for sale to LEOs. I heard that they're planning to rent a suppressed 9mm handgun on their range. I don't know if it's available to try yet, but if you've never shot suppressed before and want to give it a try, I'd say it's worth giving them...

    Fightlite lever action carbine

    Not in 5.56 I'm not. I had the Troy Pump Action Rifle a long time ago. It was very pointless, so I sold it. I didn't know about rechambering ARs at the time, unfortunately, but I also doubt it would have been easy. This one accepting any AR15 upper makes it very interesting. One of these with...

    Tulsi Gabbards Quits Democrat Party

    I hope she leads an exodus from the Democrat Party. If the Donkey Party were like her, at least they would be a reasonable counterbalance to the Republicans instead of the current dumpster-fire that they currently are.

    Std.Mfg. DP 12

    I shot my buddy's. I don't remember exactly what tripped me up, but the manual of arms was weird to me, though it made sense when my friend walked me through the controls instead of "here ya go, you'll figure it out". That said, It's a heavy SOB, but small. Recoil is as light as I've ever felt...

    Beto calls rally attendee a MotherFu<%*r

    Wait, now he's admitting he wants to take Texans' ARs away again? Keeping track of what position he claims to be taking can be difficult, but what's always clear is that Beto is a real motherfucker and is completely full of shit. He should do the great state of Texas a favor and wash his own...

    5.7 really making a comeback??

    Maybe. I've only ever taken squirrels with .22LR, so I have no reference as to what the meat damage on a squirrel or rabbit would be with something like the 5.7. It would probably be much easier to have super-tight accuracy though, so I guess meat damage isn't as much an issue if you can hit a...

    5.7 really making a comeback??

    I'd love one, but I'd only get one if I wasn't subject to a magazine limit. Having one in the pipe and 10 on deck defeats one of what I see as its two major advantages. The first being barrier and armor penetration, and the second being amazing capacity.

    NYC Emergency Management Now Telling New Yorkers to Have a “Go Bag” and Be Ready to EVACUATE

    Teen with toy water gun is killed by off-duty jail officer, police say

    The comments are full of internet experts giving their well-informed opinions on the matter. Clearly they are privy to information that simple peons are not. Just kidding. That comments section is jam-packed with more toxic stupidity than the Oval Office. Who knows what the hell was going on...

    Let's play a "What would I like to do/see post NFA" game.

    Throw a 10" barrel and Dead Air Sandman-K 5.5" suppressor on my .300 Blackout rifle along with a lightweight 9" handguard. I'd have a Vortex 1.75-5x scope on top zeroed with 110 grain Barnes Tac-TX handloads on top and an offset 3 MOA red-dot zeroed with some sort of subsonic ammo. Also, a...

    We're on our own (new gun carry law)

    There's no military or veteran training exemption. They recognize the handgun training you receive in the military as satisfying the training requirement. There's a big difference between that and an exemption. No one's life is worth more than one's own and their loved ones'. Not a cop's not a...

    We're on our own (new gun carry law)

    Is a 1911 in 9mm Gay? (sorry I had to edit title, my bad!!)

    I'm not saying that a 1911 in 9mm makes you gay. I'm only saying that if you have one, you probably enjoy pleasuring other men sexually.

    Pretty much the exact kind of bitch, commie freak I expected to see when I heard about this. Dead, soulless eyes. Probably on SSRIs or another hard drug that induces thoughts of suicide and homicide. Piece of human garbage. All memory and record of him should be erased. The Romans had so many...

    S&W 629 vs Colt Anaconda

    For sure. MIM parts are not to be worked on rough. I'm talking using 10,000 grit sandpaper and polishing compound to lightly smooth the surfaces that would, over time, wear against each other anyway.

    S&W 629 vs Colt Anaconda

    That's surprising to me. I always found the Colt revolvers I've tried (Cobra and Python) to have some of the best DA triggers of any revolvers I've tried. SA though, I don't think Colt has anything on S&W's revolvers. The one thing I will say about my particular 629, the overtravel stop rod in...

    S&W 629 vs Colt Anaconda

    I love my 629. I can't compare it to an Anaconda since I've never shot one, but I can say that the 629 is my favorite firearm. I've done a lot of handload experimenting with it this past year. I mostly feed it hot-loaded .44 Specials. I don't want to beat it or myself up with full house magnums...

    Democratic Underground (aka: Moron Incubator)

    Buffalo man arrested for possessing a loaded gun in a vehicle

    Hunting pistol or hunting rifle?

    Definitely think those are better choices given what you want to do. I wouldn't tell you not to hunt with subsonic .300 Blackouts, but I don't see the point without a can. I've messed with .300 Blk subs out of my rifle and the volume reduction is nothing to write home about. I wouldn't trade the...

    Hunting pistol or hunting rifle?

    I think that's a great move. Don't know how familiar you are with .300 Blk ballistics, so just a heads-up. If you go for a short barrel like a 9", know that a lot of ignorant folk out there claim that a .300 Blk velocity maxes out at 9" and that it slows down with a 16" barrel. That might be...

    Hunting pistol or hunting rifle?

    For sure. In my mind the difference would be range. Woods hunting where the longest clear shot possible is something like 100 yards I would prefer the bigger hole of an expanded .30 cal bullet. Past that, if I had to use one of those, it would be the 6mm ARC for the much better BC, more retained...

    Hunting pistol or hunting rifle?

    Pistols may be legal hunting weapons in some places where rifles aren't. That's the biggest reason I've been mulling over an AR pistol build. That and having a compact, handy little weapon chambered in a rifle caliber. As it is, I have a .300 Blackout rifle. It weighs exactly the same as my...

    Kimber Micro9

    Yea, if you want a small 9mm, I really don't think you can beat the Sig 365, Springfield Hellcat, or S&W Shield Plus. I think all of them come with the option for a manual safety if that's what attracts you to the Micro9. All of those are more likely to be reliable, hold more ammo, are only...
