    9mm vs .45 ACP

    JMB (peace be upon him) decided to grace our European allies with a slightly inferior copy of the perfect handgun. The attempt killed him and the work had to be completed by a Belgian more suited to the task of designing a gun for women and children.

    9mm vs .45 ACP

    Why carry a .40? Because it has almost all the knock down of a .45 WorldWarChamp while being chambered in guns designed this century. Plus it has all the capacity of a 9mm without being some metric, French girly-gun. As for why not the .50 AE? Because I'm not a drug-dealer or Russian. Red...

    My first day concealed carrying

    https://www.tier1concealed.com/products/t1c-wedge-kit?variant=32448504430663 It's $15 for a pack of 4 in all their different sizes. Slap the medium on and if you need more or less, pull it off and try another. I went with the wide for comfort, but check the dimensions listed on the page against...

    My first day concealed carrying

    The wedge really does make a world of difference carrying appendix. Better than any claw. You can see it in the picture from your side profile where you're lifting your BDU blouse that the grip and rear portion of the pistol are tipping forward. Same thing would happen to me.

    For those who asked for innovation. Gauss rifles/ coil gun

    Makes me wonder what a full-powered Gauss gun – like 12 ga power – would do. Oh yea, saw that this morning. Too bad, but there'll be another one. As far as tech innovations, I think it's too early to make any guesses. To me this is like flight. We have a goal in mind we want (less recoil, more...

    39 Million Firearms purchased by Americans in 2021!

    Eh, it really depends on the demographic buying guns that you're talking about. The middle-aged to older ones, 40+ yrs old, yea, they're probably not changing their tune about guns. These are the same people who think responsible gun ownership is keeping a 2019 vintage Remington 870 shotgun in...

    Man going to prison for illegally selling guns to undercover cop

    Hey, don't be so hard on the guy. The prices on the Glock and Ruger were fair, and we don't know how much ammo he included with the Taurus deal.

    Epic .38 reloading...

    So I use a similar double-ended wadcutter (maybe the same, but HiTek coated). I find them pretty annoying to load. I place them on the case mouth and they either tip askew or fall off the case when I'm loading them. I only loaded half a box out of frustration. Is there some trick to loading...

    The ounce .22lr foldable pistol.

    I think this will likely go the way of the folding Glock. It's too clumsy and slow to deploy in an emergency situation. The problem it's trying to solve: "She was uncomfortable carrying a loaded gun, so he set out to design a firearm that could not be accidentally discharged while being...

    Can't wait to see him shoot the match with it, haha.

    For those who asked for innovation. Gauss rifles/ coil gun

    For sure. Imparting electronic spin will be a very interesting next step, and obviously dishing out more power will be the constant goal. I wonder what recoil would be like assuming the weight could be reduced and power increased. FPE to FPE vs firearms, it's definitely going to be lower since...

    For those who asked for innovation. Gauss rifles/ coil gun

    I think they claim 200 fps for 75-80 fpe. In a weapon that weighs 20 lbs without a battery. But hey, the first hand cannons looked like this

    ShAK-12 advertisement from the manufacturer

    Lol. Nah revolvers can't be assault weapons in NY, not even ones called the Assault Revolver-12. That alone makes me want one.

    ShAK-12 advertisement from the manufacturer

    It looks like a pretty damned versatile cartridge. There's everything from ~100 grain bullets to almost 1000 grain bullets. The ShAK-12 or RSh-12 revolver can't handle the longer bullets. Supposedly may be more powerful than the .500 S&W Mag. Also weighs 5 lbs unloaded, lol.

    ShAK-12 advertisement from the manufacturer

    And there's a matching 5-shot revolver chambered in the same 12.7x55 cartridge. Great presenter.

    What’s the point of 10rd mags if ya can’t use all 10?

    The confusion likely comes from the fact that the law is still on the books if you look up article 265 of the NY Penal Law. However, wherever you see the statute, it should have a footnote showing that the whole "only load seven" bullshit is suspended. Load 10+1 and carry on.

    Virginia changes its stance on NYSRPA vs Bruen

    I honestly believe that SCOTUS will send a favorable decision our way leading to easing the restrictions for a full carry license. However, get ready for new legislation specifying where you aren't allowed to carry. I assume the text of the new law will read as follows: "You can't carry in a...

    Hi-Tek Polymer Coated Lead Bullets (.357)???

    I use Hi-Tek coated bullets from Missouri Bullet Co. The one thing I would say to watch out for is to make sure you expand the case mouth a little wider with those, or the case may scrape off some of the coating when they're being loaded. It's pretty easy to avoid with boat tailed bullets, but...
