    Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you

    Re: Bank of America to McMillan, we don't want you +1 for USAA and Navy Federal I've handled all my banking and insurance with USAA for years and have zero complaints. Late last year an old friend passed, and in my screwy state of mind I overdrafted my checking account about a dozen times...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns CCW T Shirt

    Re: CCW T Shirt I have the 5.11 Tactical version, and I quite like it. Unlike the one linked to above, it is a compression fit shirt, and keeps the weapon snug against the body. It works great underneath a zip-up hoodie or jacket. Comfortable, room for spare mags or speed strips. However...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns CCW on campus.

    Re: CCW on campus. Ohio law explicitly bans CCW on campus...the .38 ends up staying in the car during class. I don't know how cramped your campus is, but if a shooter situation ever did arise here, and I did happen to be armed, I feel a clear shot would be near impossible.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Single-stack XD45. ???

    Re: Single-stack XD45. ??? I remember reading about these during SHOT. A lot of folks were bitching about the posted weight spec: 29 oz. Around 10 oz fatter than a comparable Glock? If that doesn't bother you, it looks like a pretty sweet weapon to me.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for a good home defense handgun

    Re: Looking for a good home defense handgun +1 for those who say whatever you can shoot well. I started out with a 9mm Sig Pro, and thought I was getting pretty comfortable with the gun. Eventually I got a .38 snubby as a carry gun, and ended up practicing with it so much that my skill with...

    Defective FN SPR, Tac-Cord vs. FNH USA

    Re: FN SPR Bent Firing Pin? As far as the barrel is concerned, I think it would be more accurate for me to say that it runs at an angle in relation to the receiver. I was told by the dealer that the barrel channel might have been cut at a slight angle, giving the illusion of an angled...

    Defective FN SPR, Tac-Cord vs. FNH USA

    Just received a new SPR A2. Barrel is not aligned with the action...it is visibly bent to the left. Furthermore, upon initial disassembly of the bolt, it turns out the tip of the firing pin is bent. Contacted FN and was told to send the rifle in. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

    I don't even have any questions to ask

    Hi all. I'm relatively new to shooting at all, and now that tax time is here, I'm acting on the itch I've been having to get into LR and reloading. Been creeping in different places, but by far the hide is one of the best sources of info I've come across on or off the net. I really wanted to...
