      Fast silencer purchase

      Once the trusts start getting that fast, things are gonna get expensive(r) for me. I've got the cans I need. But of course there are cans I want. Just not worth the price, plus the tax stamp, PLUS a long waiting time.

      Have you ever tallied up the amount of money that you’ve spent on one gun?

      I am a cheap bastard. If you are defining "how much" which includes the purchase price, I am not sure I've spent over $1000 on any of my guns. If you are not including the purchase price, I am not sure I've put more than $500 into any of my guns (including an optic). I am trying to think on...

      Advice needed on how to best divest from 5.56

      Yup. Most of the used guns I've bought needed some kind of work (I am not including C&R guns from distributors). My Ruger GP100 I bought very recently and a Dan Wesson 44 I think have been the only exceptions. I did drop a spring kit in it, but there was nothing wrong with it and the Dan Wesson...

      Suggestions for a low powered, large objective rifle scope?

      As much as magnification flexibility is nice, I'd personally go for a 3x28 or a 4x32 if you want the best light gathering possible at dawn or dusk. The fewer the elements within the scope or lens, the lighter transmission there is. Granted, fully multicoated scopes (which are most of the medium...

      Why is the Glock 21 the best pistol on the market today?

      Ideally you would want to step up to a 24# recoil spring if you are going to shoot much 45 super. Most recommend a new barrel, but the OE barrel with super is fine. I happen to have aftermarket barrels in my G21 and G21L, but that is because I wanted threaded for the former and Glock never made...

      Why is the Glock 21 the best pistol on the market today?

      230gr .45 pushed to 1050fps is also nothing to sneeze at… Or a 185gr .45 pushed to 1350. (45acp +p++ also known as 45 super. All it requires is a stronger recoil spring in a Glock 21).

      Why Truncated Cone?

      I'll admit I've been .357 sig curious. But I usually prefer to use the whole chicken and not just a feather.

      Why Truncated Cone?

      .500s are just novelty size. No chick actually likes that, despite what you'll see on the internet. And .41, well any port in a storm, but you know she wants something bigger.

      Can licensed hunters be accompanied by non-licensed observers?

      Yes as well as everything else already being answered. So long as they are just in an observational capacity and aren't doing anything related to the hunt itself, good to go. Though IIRC MD DOES require anyone accompanying the hunter to wear the appropriate high vis clothing based on the...

      Why Truncated Cone?

      Some of the that (the shorter OAL) too. You get a hair more case capacity for the same bullet weight compared to a RN.

      Why Truncated Cone?

      Blah, blah, blah. That's just another way of saying one admits they are gay and the other claims they are straight, but likes butt stuff. .44/.45 are the only men's calibers

      ATF redefining who's a dealer

      This. For the scare, it gets eyeballs and earballs. Which is how youtube channels make money. Fear sells. So far I haven't heard the reality of the ATF actually going after joe blow selling a gun. Or even joe blow selling a few guns from their personal collection. The ATF has had a hard time...

      [LEOSA] Weak hand - two handed shooting. Why?

      This. I've never been in a gun fight. I've never even been near a gun fight. I for sure as shit have hurt my index finger badly enough I don't think I could have pulled a trigger, but the rest of my hand was fine. Jam that sucker hard and no go for a week. Never hurts to practice weak hand...

      Overpressurized rounds safer in a revolver?

      This. You won't reliably detect a double charge because of the possible variation in brass and projectile weight. Very good components might have a grain or so tolerance across them. Average stuff is probably going to be 2-3gr across them. Really crappy stuff might be more, and don't even get...

      9mm case explosion with Gen 3 G34

      Lol, ditto. That and Euro 7.65 browning/.32acp. My Cz50 doesn't't like feeding American .32acp The shorter case web causes rim issues in the magazines and the rounds nose dive and fail to feed with fully loaded magazines. Euro stuff feeds great (Geco, Prvi, S&B, a couple of others). If I load...

      9mm case explosion with Gen 3 G34

      Even with somewhat specialty stuff. I've got about 200 +p nickel plated cases W-W and around 140 FC of the same. Not sure I really need it marked +p, but hey, I can load one or both up for rolling my own XTP loads. Even 45acp, I don't collect much, but I still usually walk away with 10-40...

      M1903 vs M1917

      I did the same thing with a Garand. I think the issue in general is that any kind of peep sight is going to be hard to read in low light. That said, notch sights aren't all that much better. At least for me, in low light. Ghost ring and fiber work okay in low light. Buttttt, a halfway decent...

      Why did ATF make the Form 4 process faster?

      Could just be they finally got the executive leadership and funding in place to make internal reforms. I've got no visibility on what they have going on, but maybe the finished the modernization of some internal applications they use for the review officers so some IT modernization is finally...

      Pre Estate sale suggestions

      Good point. And to the OP’s mention of their health. Depending on if it is a flippant comment or actual diagnosis, if my days were numbered and I had a good idea of how few they’d be, I would go the fastest route on converting what I had to a usable to me or my next of kin form. Even if I...
