Thinking about buying either a Ruger Mini-14 or some AR15 clone for home protection ("up close and personal" out to about 300 yds). In general, which is easier to maintain, including disassembly and reassembly? Also, I understand that, because of twist rate of the Mini-14 (1 in 9), it pro...

Howdy, Folks, Hope everybody is well. Yesterday I picked up my new carry revolver from one of my local FFL's. It is a Ruger LCR six-shot revolver in .327 magnum. It has good ballistics compared to the .38 special rounds I had been carrying before. I fired a 100 grain Gold Dot hollow-point round thro...

A first report on the Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA, It came yesterday and it arrived in perfect condition. Midway boxed it very well. It has 3 modes, high, strobe, and low. One click for high, two for strobe, and three for low. I didn't like that so did the 10 tap reprogram and now it is a high only. ...

I have several Streamlight Pro-Tac flashlights. Recommend them highly. You can find them over on Amazon.
I carry one in my pocket and have another zip-tied to an old Harrington Richardson Breech-Loading Single shot shotgun in
case I run into a rattlesnake crawling out in the yard at night.

Today I picked up a Rossi R95 lever-action in 30-30 at my local gun store. I think it is based off the Marlin design. Got it mainly for sentimental reasons as the first deer I shot when I was 15 was with my dad's 30-30 which was later stolen out of his house when I was off to college. Did not have a...

I heard Whitmire won. Remember, Lee is the one who infamously said the AR15 shoots 50 caliber bullets and is as heavy as 10 moving boxes.

At least two rules were violated here. First, he pointed a rifle at somebody--don't do that. Second, he dropped the mag but failed to rack the slide/charging handle. There was a live round in the chamber. Drop the mag--rack the slide--twice--then visually check the chamber and breech for any rounds....

This is sad--and totally preventable:

Howdy, folks. I wanted to give you an update on my flying experience with my little Ruger LCR .38 Special Plus P Revolver. My first flight was from Midland to Denver. The second flight was back home from Denver to Midland. Both on Southwest Airlines. The flight from Midland to Denver. I wheeled my b...

What type of lock do you guys recommend for your case when flying?
and,
Most of the cases I see have slots for two locks---should you use two locks or is one lock sufficient?
I bought an Eylar case and it should get here in a few days.
Thanks!

Well, today I went to my local FFL and purchased a new shotgun. They put the usual form in front of me to fill out. Immediately I recognized it as a new form. I asked the employee when did you guys get these in? He said oh, they dropped them off a coupla months ago. Anyway, going down the list and ...

Soon I will be 70 years old but always consider myself a lifetime student. I ran across this series today on Youtube and it is a basic introduction to marksmanship as taught by an Army instructor. I immediately noticed a flaw in my aiming--I shoot left-handed and was mis-aligning my head by leaning ...
