My first gun is a Mossberg Model 320 KA single shot .22 rifle that I got for Christmas in 1962 when I was 12 years old. I later had target sights installed on the rifle when I shot in a junior rifle league as a teenager. The rifle is capable of accurate shooting at 100 yds. and I still shoot...

Ditto to what bwct said above.

My favorite carry pieces are a Glock 23 Gen 5 in 40 S&W or a CZ 75 Compact in 9mm Luger.

Another shortcoming with the .22 is ammo reliability. Sometimes the priming compound does not go all the way around the rim and you get a click instead of a bang when you squeeze the trigger. In most cases if you reinsert the cartridge so the firing pin so it hits a different spot on the rim...

Some of the TV shows I watch show an obvious left wing bias in that they tout a gay life style as normal. Specifically NCIS Hawaii and FBI Most Wanted having gay principal characters. This is probably a result of having predominantly left wing script writers and directors. I just watch the...

Personally, if I were going out in the woods, I would be carrying a pistol of sufficient power to stop an animal attack. If it was legal to do so I would carry openly, if not I would carry concealed. In figure my life is worth more than some stupid regulation.

Another powder you might want to try is Ramshot ZIP. I have had good luck with it in a variety of calibers to include 45 ACP and 9mm Luger. Here in Utah it seems to be more available than Unique. In bought some last week for 32.00 for a pound.

I have a Bersa Firestorm in .380 which I like . It is small enough to be readily concealable but big enough for accurate shooting at normal self defense distances. Bersa also makes a similar size pistol in .22 LR. Neither one will break the bank as far as cost. It might be worthwhile to buy...

I have owned a Glock 23 Gen 5 in 40 S&W for about a year and really like the pistol. I reload for it and have had no problems in obtaining reloading components. I wonder about the 30 SC and why this would make more sense than a 9 mm Luger pistol loaded with good hollow point ammo for defensive...

If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer it. I am concerned with the technology that allows scammers to record and imitate your voice. I figure if the call is important, they can leave me a voice mail.

Welcome from a fellow Utahn who lives in Sanpete County.

I left New Jersey in 1980. Former resident of Point Pleasant. Never regret leaving. I am now living in a gun friendly state unlike New Jersey which is a tough state to live in if you like guns.

If we got a Republican in the White House after the next election, he ought to reverse all this left wing woke crap and restore all the Confederate statues and monuments as well as restoring the names of the bases that were named after Confederate generals. If protesters attempt to vandalize...

Are you sure that ad is from 1951? It lists a Blackhawk in 44 Magnum. That caliber wasn't introduced until late 1955 when Smith and Wesson introduced the Model 29 and Remington made the ammo for it. Gun writer Elmer Keith got the first one since the concept was largely his idea.

I'm in my 70s and enjoy shooting all my firearms. At my age I have few enough pleasures. I'll let my survivors worry about culling the herd. I have a ball park list on what each of my guns is worth and hopefully they will not get ripped off when they go to sell after I am gone.
