    Gunsite Plane Crash 4 Dead

    My deepest condolences to those lost and their family. My brother was at Gunsite for the week doing the 250 course and as a sales rep doing account work with the proshop when he witnessed the event unfold. He was pretty shaken up by it.

    Gun rights documentary need final fundraising kick

    This is a last minute plea, but Kris Koenig is running a "finishing fundraiser" to complete his pro Second Amendment documentary. Kris Koenig is an Emmy award-winning scientific documentary maker. There is just over 24 hours left to make the Kickstarter funding goal and it looks like it'll...

    Amsec safes, need advice

    Re: Amsec safes, need advice There isn't a single drywall-lined safe that carries a UL fire rating. I think the reason shold be self-evident. Don't buy the antique safe until you get a price quote (and if possible, an inspection) from a SAVTA technician on the cost of servicing and/or...

    Re: Besst price on TRG-22 mags I got mine on MidwayUSA with one of their widely-available coupon codes. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from EuroOptics. They sold me my TRG.

    Fatboy Jr gun safe

    Re: Fatboy Jr gun safe Internal hinges reduce fire rating too with drywall-constructed safes. There is no fire barrier in the area the hinges occupy when the door is closed. There is a direct path of heat from the outside, through the sheet metal shell, into the contents of the safe.

    Amsec safes, need advice

    Re: Amsec safes, need advice I've seen the Ultimate by Heritage. I'd rather grab their Barrett-branded AMSEC BF. At one point I was going to order an AMSEC AMVAULT TL-30 commercial safe through Sportco and do my own interior but I ended up coming across something else. Sportco has very...

    Amsec safes, need advice

    Re: Amsec safes, need advice "Composite" is a term the gun safe industry abuses and steals. A real composite safe in the commercial safe world has a concrete aggregate poured between an inner and outer steel shell. A fire safe tends to pour composite aggregate between an inner and outer...

    Amsec safes, need advice

    Re: Amsec safes, need advice American Security's BF line is actually one of the only gun safes on the market that actually has a plate door. It's an honest 1/2" thick steel plate. No other gun safe company can brag about that. It's also the only gun safe that uses a commercial composite...

    Amsec safes, need advice

    Re: Amsec safes, need advice BF series is built like a commercial safe, poured aggregate between two steel shells. While the barrier isn't a security aggregate, I'd trust that method of fire barrier protection over fireboard. You also get a 1/2" steel plate in the door construction. I'd...

    Safe dilemma, what would you do?

    Re: Safe dilemma, what would you do? I disagree with almost everyone here. Everyone here is making the argument of getting a bigger safe NOT for security reasons, but purely convenience. A smaller safe allows one to install it into a concealed area of the home not open to general traffic or...

    Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags?

    Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags? $1/round of 5.56mm. That's the same pain I feel when I buy Black Hills 77gr Mk262 ammo. Welcome to my world!

    Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags?

    Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags? Vote with your dollars. As an aside, I just picked up 80 Okay Industries USGI grey teflon, green follower mags for $8 ea, though I'm distributing them at cost to friends and family. No buy low, sell high for me.

    Cheaper then Dirt Boycott

    Re: Cheaper then Dirt Boycott I bet if CTD announced they would halt sales of these accessories immediately and simply throw them into a big bonfire instead of selling them, people would complain too. Vote with your dollars. That's a language businesses understand.

    Best Gun Safe?

    Re: Best Gun Safe? Graffunder safes. Brown safes. Both are commercial-grade builds with plate construction and concrete barrier. "Best" is a subjective term. Neither carry a UL rating but they're among the best turn-key gun safes on the market. American Security makes a UL...

    Best Gun Safe?

    Re: Best Gun Safe? Two smaller safes is better than one giant safe anyhow. You split your eggs in two baskets. Having two safes in two locations increases the probability of survival in a fire. Most thieves, if they even attempt to open a gun safe, will assume you have just one safe...

    Cheaper then Dirt Boycott

    Re: Cheaper then Dirt Boycott Price gouging is a term only used when people caught with their pants down were too late to get with the program. If it's too expensive, don't buy it. Ultimately, an exchange of goods or services only happens if both parties agree the cost is acceptable. It's...

    Best Gun Safe?

    Re: Best Gun Safe? In all honesty, your mainstream consumer guns safes aren't going to be very different from one another from a security perspective. There are only so many gee-whiz widgets and security tricks you can incorporate into a sheet metal box. There is only so much metal (ie...

    Best Gun Safe?

    Re: Best Gun Safe? If cost no object, there are several available options. Browning isn't even close to second by a long shot. Brown is one option you mentioned. They use the B, C, D, E, etc. rate system to give you an idea of the plate steel construction. They're very comparable to a...
