Anyone want to predict what will happen when the cartels are declared FTO (Foreign Terrorist Orgs)?

Another article of impeachment?

Are you using the hot glue directly on the shot? If so, you might read up a little on wax slugs - with the end being glued it might be performing somewhat as a half slug half shot hybrid. My personal experience with diy shotshells has been with 44 mag brass using the coated paperboard from school p...

Made another change after my last post. I decided to cut the excess glue above the case-mouth in order to keep the payload weigh more similar. I did keep one as is to see if it does anything on target.

The FN 509 Midsize has replaced my Glock 19. The shape of the grip and the grip texture of the 509 Midsize is perfect in my opinion. I do like a grip texture to be akin to a deeply knurled weightlifting bar. I like the FNs. Back in 2010 I wanted an FNX in .45 ACP and couldn't find a place to shop a...

Never seen better sights on a 1911, and a few others as well, than Novak's. For a series 70 that'll probably mean some dovetails will have to be cut. And, of course, tritiums are available.

Next Batch Again, apologies for the preliminary pics with all the holes in the target. I was not expecting the loads to do as well as they did, but I knew there would be more tests to come. And I couldn't get to the target stand to hang a fresh target with each test. At the last minute I decided to ...

Gotta admit that I really thought about adding a .38 Super with a SIG P220. Don't know if it's still available in .38 Super, but was last time I looked. Things are actually better today if you like .38 Super and handload, once you decide on the best ejector, anyway, in the case of the 1911. The Supe...

Pardon the double-post but something else came to mind. As far as expansion and penetration from a .38 Snub, it might be worth considering what the FBI once did. When they were issued 3" S&W M13 .357 Magnums, the duty load was a 158 gr. LSWCHP +P .38 Special. SPEER and Hornady still make those bulle...

The XTP has a reputation as a penetrator. Did the bullets that went through the water jugs expand much? I'm currently doing some work with that bullet in my 38 special J frames. Boxerrider, the 158 gr. XTPs expanded about the way you would expect. IIRC, Hornady states that XTPs will typically expan...

If you have an internal debate of single-action vs double-action revolvers, consider yourself lucky. Getting close to 63 now, I feel rather blessed in finding that because my eyes are not as good as they once were, nor my hands as steady; I can shoot my GP100 as well at 7 yards in Double-Action as I...

After going through some reevaluation of my Balance beam scale and digital, I got another digital. My shooting partner has had very good results with the Frankford Arsenal unit sold by Midway for like $30. It weighs up to 750 grs. rather than the 1500 grs. of other more expensive models. Hoping mine...

As Ed McMahon used to say, "you are correct, sir!"

I was speaking so much about the powder deterioration so much as what it's done to the lids on the containers.

TAM, I didn't take your opinion as critical. But as far as arming ourselves with the best tool with the greatest practicality? That is the bailiwick of the 9 x 19mm; not only in this country, but the world over. I don't mean to suggest the term as emasculated so much as miscalculated. From my perspe...
