      Songs about guns

      Here's a great old quick-step shotgun song my brother introduced me to. It is really hillarious, especially when you read it (or sing it) out loud. The recording has shotgun blasts in it at appropriate times. I'm trying to keep with the rules by showing the link where you can see the words to...

      Pheasant Hunting in Rushville

      My bro and I went to Lost Rivers Game Farm to hunt pheasant last Monday. We each got three nice ones. All we had with us were handloaded #6's, 1 1/8 oz @ 1300 fps. My brother had a Mod. choke in his Lanber :ar15:semi-auto, and I had a Lite Mod. choke in a Mossberg 500 pump. I got two one-shot...

      .357 Mag Hunting Ammo

      I like the 158 grain Hornady Jacketed Soft Points. I think they are in the XTP category. They penetrate better than the hollow points I have used. The soft points are flat on the end, so they also work well in a lever rifle. Also great in a lever gun is the LEVERevolution bullet mentioned above...

      s&w sigma 40 problem

      I love my 9VE. I bought it NIB in 2004 for $279 plus tax. It eats any and all ammo regardless of nose shape, velocity, metal vs lead, whatever. No problems -- until my extractor breaks. My 9VE is on its 3rd extractor. The gun shop owner replaced the first on the same year I bought the gun. The...

      Should a "practice gun" be similar to your "carry gun"?

      That's a great looking pair. Looks like you have just about a perfect match. It's a shame that .380 acp ammo is usually so expensive to buy. Most of the .380 components should be cheaper than 9mm, but they get away with gouging with .380's. The same thing is true with so-called "sub-gauge"...

      Should a "practice gun" be similar to your "carry gun"?

      Should a "practice gun" be similar to your "carry gun"?

      Yes, I agree that defense practice guns should have similar characteristics to the guns I carry. Just for that reason, I have a couple of handgun pairs that have similar characteristics. I practice with the stronger, heavier guns most of the time, and save the lighter guns for carry. For...

      personal defense ammo

      I mostly carry 124 grain Hornady XTP's in 9mm +P defense ammo. With all the good defense ammo out there, I figure my best bet is to carry something that I can nearly duplicate in a practice round. My Montana Gold 124 grain HP bullets with a stiff dose of Herco (or Power Pistol, Blue Dot, 3N37...

      Reloading advice needed

      Shidler's Auto Service on West Washington St. in Indianapolis is another good place to buy handgun powders and primers, if you ever get to the west side of Indy. (8514 W Washington St Indianapolis, IN (317) 248-8110.) Emil Shidler is mostly a shotgunner, but has good prices on all of his...

      Reloading advice needed

      Maybe these tips will be helpful to you. It took me a couple of years to stumble onto a really good 9mm 125 grain lead bullet scheme. You already have some very good suggestions. Here is mine. I like Mike's Master Cast 125 grain 9mm bullets at: MASTERCAST BULLETS. They sell $48.21 per...

      Shotgun hunting question

      I have a Remington SP220 12 gauge Side-by-Side Double barrel shotgun with 20 inch barrels. I was shocked and awed at the versatility of this little baby. My all-time favorite hunting experience was in October of 2010, hunting pheasant with this "coach gun," as they call it. I got two pheasants...

      9mm for home/self defense?

      I'm looking for a load that uses wooden stakes for bullets . . . . . . for VAMPIRES!

      9mm for home/self defense?

      There are three things I particularly like about Rem. Golden Sabers in 9mm. First of all, they have a more rounded leading edge than all of the other defense bullets I've used, so they are very likely to feed well in anybody's gun. Secondly, you can buy the bullets in bulk, and reload your own...

      Another Church Carry Sticky Wicket

      Church necessities: a Bible and a handgun. This is my first post. Someone straighten me out if I violate any protocols. I carry to curch: a Bible and a handgun. I carry my handgun "religiously." (Pun intended.) That includes Sunday morning worship, Praise Band practice, meetings, and when I...
