      .25 auto ammo

      Thanks for the reply. Thats what I've been hearing. Sounds like the .380 is a better choice for personal protection with a small hand gun. I've heard the .22 LR is not very accurate because its a rimfire round and is better used in a long gun. I really like the small guns that use the .25 auto...

      Checking lead levels if reloading

      I heard recently from a friend that its important to have blood lead levels checked on a regular basis if one is reloading ammo on an ongoing basis. i guess its easy for the skin to absorb the lead from handling it frequently. Has anyone seen a recommendation on this? I understand that lead can...

      Is the ban really going to happen?

      I think she will push for the most she can get. yet in the end...all this has to pass the Republican controlled house. In the end I don't see any substantial ban getting through the house. There will be a big push and a media campaign this summer to get something done. Obama realizes he has only...

      Henry rifles???

      A friend of mine has a Henry. He loves it. Recently told me it was the gun that won the west. I think his is a 30-30. I have been looking at the Winchester model 94. I think the Henry is famous for the smooth lever action. Nice thing about the .22 is the low cost of ammo. I think the Henry is...

      Who still use eBay?

      On the buying side I think eBay is still very easy to use. I have not sold much of anything over the years. Looks like most of the sellers are power sellers With high-volume sales. I guess it's like anything else. If their fees for selling continue to go out they will start to lose business. The...

      Winchester 94

      Nice picture. Maybe I will have to pick up a model 94 sometime soon. They really look like a lot of fun. I guess it would be a good gun to do some target practice with. i have a friend who lives in Colorado. His family goes Elk hunting in the mountains every year in southern Colorado. He has...

      Another thread asking for 1911 buying help

      The Wilson combat would be the top-of-the-line. This is a very expensive pistol. Seems to be hand made. This would hold it's value well. If you spend more it is more of an investment. These quality guns should go up in value over time. There is nothing that really compares to the Wilson combat.

      Stainless Steel vs Regular Steel - Kimber TLE/RL II

      I have used the presto gun blue pen. It works very well and is easy to use. I find it best for touching up areas on the edge or corner of a gun. On a flat surface you can see the touch up marks more easily. On an older gun it can touch up areas of oxidation. Mild areas of flecking can be turned...

      Stainless Steel vs Regular Steel - Kimber TLE/RL II

      Stainless steel would be a more durable finish. You would not get any oxidation on the surface of the stainless steel gun. The blue and process should be thought of as a controlled oxidation. This is a very attractive surface but is not as stable. If you are planning on every day carry the...

      States that honor Indiana's LTCH

      Indiana Concealed Carry Is there a way to get a permit that will cover more states. I heard there was a western state that has reciprocity with most of the other states. Has anyone heard of this. I wish there was a federal permit that would allow carry in all states. Seems like that would be a...

      Winchester 94

      I have been looking at the Winchester 94 in 30-30. This is a classic old west gun. I'm not sure if it has any practical utility anymore. I think it could be used in some states for deer hunting...but not here in Indiana. I have seen prices in the 400-500 range for ones in good shape. i remember...

      Indy 1500 deals

      I think there will be long lines. The price of ammo is likely to be much higher this year. I went to the recent show in Greenfield. There was a long line to get in at 15 minutes before the show opened and wall to wall people once I was in. Prices on bulk ammo had jumped greatly from the previous...

      Senate to go for handguns

      My hope it that this will be shut down in the house. I have no confidence in the Senate. They may very well pass these restrictions. Yet at least for the next 2 years I can't see the house going along with this. As long as republicans control the house, its unlikely there would be any new laws...

      Carry gun for my wife?

      Reply to post My wife is willing to try shooting a pistol. Maybe thats the first step. Up till now she has been afraid of guns. I would like for her to become comfortable with handling and maybe even carrying someday. I guess its a process and will take some time. One of the small frame guns...

      Indiana Knife Law FAQ

      indiana Knife Law. Any word on the auto knife law? My understanding is that this was a law put in place in the 1950s and has never been modified. Seems like there should be an update. Those with carry permits should be allowed to carry and own an auto knife. As it is now its illegal to even...
