    Hunting & Fishing Solid 243 hunting rifle for a new hunter

    The .243 Win may be the perfect beginner round...maybe the perfect whitetail round in any hands actually. If I never hunted anything bigger than whitetail/Miley, I'd be perfectly happy with nothing larger. Ive killed deer with .243 using 100g Nosler Partition, old CorLokt, Sierra ProHunter...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns No more 9mm for Army?

    Most sensible thing I've heard suggested in a long while.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns No more 9mm for Army?

    Yeah...whatever. Been rumored a dozen times. I'll believe it when I see it. And the TOCroaches are the only ones that get pistols anyways, so who cares?

    Hunting & Fishing Berger 185gr Juggernaut deer results

    Researching the 180 sgk to load up tomorrow and couldn't believe how many people have reported either bullet blowing up on the shoulder or penciling through. Does this scare me? Nope. Not even s little. Bullet failures on game happen. Regardless of whether it is a bullet theoretically designed...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hiking With A Pistol

    Sir, from my experience on foot patrols on deployment, may I suggest that you keep the pistol out of pockets and waistline? Stuff that bounces and rubs eventually means chaffing and once you are out there sometimes you just gotta suck it up indefinitely. I would suggest a good shoulder rig or a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which Glock trigger bar for smooth face trigger, for my G19 Gen 4

    The bump has no purpose in any Glock, imho. I'm running a new (March of 2014) Gen4 G19. After about 800 rounds, I simply filed down the bump, then polished it smooth. Totally your call, but I think I got pretty much the same result. I'm also running the Ghost 3.5 Ultimate trigger connector...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thin Carry Pistol

    My vote would be XDs 9 or Kel-Tec PF9 (if thoroughly tested). If Glock ever makes a single stack sub-compact in 9mm Luger, the world would be a much better place. Just sayin'. We'll have to make do without it until then.

    Hunting & Fishing Impressed with m855 as a pig round.

    Nice work. Shot placement every time. I don't believe the m855 has a steel core. I know that the M855A1 (so called "Enhanced Performance Round") utilizes a 19 grain steel penetration tip and seems to be very accurate out of my issue shootin' stick of the m4 type.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Help me put a sidearm in my wifes hands...

    Played this game...and I guess I won when I finally let my wife get what she wanted. We shopped for a long time and handled many of the weapons mentioned above. She eventually ended up picking a Gen 4 Glock 26. So far, she really likes it even though it's a bit harder to conceal than the Ruger...

    Hunting & Fishing My first bear!

    I'm headed to the general area of Watertown, so that qualifies as as upstate, I guess. ;) I'm a Northeast Pennsylvania native, so I'm glad to be headed back into the general region. Spent a fair amount of time up in the Great Sacandaga Lake area as as well as camping on the Hudson near...

    Hunting & Fishing My first bear!

    Good stuff! Might be moving into the general area in spring. Good to hear that it isn't without some big game hunting options. I had always thought NY was shot gun only, but glad to see otherwise.

    Hunting & Fishing My son got his deer...

    Mind sharing more details about the rifle? Like to know what barrel length and twist, and what action. Load data? Excellent work, both of you! Congratulations.
