    So glad Chicago gun laws work

    I lived there for a short time on the south side which is one of the worst areas. I went everywhere with my gun and avoided the areas that were even worse. We used to joke when we would see the helicopters hovering that it was probably because someone got shot. I will never ever live in that...

    Rifle carrying backpack

    I tried an Eberlestock and was not impressed. I love my Mystery Ranch packs (Overload and 3DAP), especially since they are bringing back the Stick-it. Great accessory to lash a rifle on the outside of a day pack. Too bad it will be Fall at the earliest we see it.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Ruger American

    Saw the Ruger American Compact Pistol at a gun show today and picked it up and handled it. What is everyones take on it? It felt better in my hand than my SR9 that I carry. Wondering about reliability. I carry in 9mm.

    Maggie’s What kind of auto diagnostic tool do you use?

    I did it professionally for years at various dealers. Personally I have the AE package at my part time job and it works wonders but does not work on pre-1996 OBD1 vehicles. Since I am a GM guy I also have a factory Tech2 clone that works great. If I was using it more I would not have a...

    Soundgear Hearing Protection

    700 LTR a good choice? upgrades?

    Barrel Fluting = POI Shift

    I read that article and it made me question my choice of barrels for my custom build. I had already selected a Bartlein barrel but had wanted to go with a fluted barrel to save a little weight for the multi-purpose task it was to perform. As others have said with out specifics on how the tests...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P229 - 9mm or .40?

    I have been looking at a P229 to replace the stolen 45 I had. I won't go 9mm right now as you can not get ammo right now around here. The stores have pretty sold out of everything too so selection is not the greatest. At least I see Sig shipping pistols to my area regulalrly. Keep checking...

    The first 45 I ever bought was a S&W 1911. It is actually one of the first runs. love the gun. I got it used after someone bought it ran one box of ammo trough it and then traded it in as he didn't like it. I only have had one malfunction within 2000 rounds. I had to have the ejector fixed...
