    NY’s Door-to-Door Crusade Against Homemade Guns Backfires, Unintentional Masterclass in Ghost-Gunsmithing

    I love the cops saying "we know what you have". Bitch, if you "know what [they] have", you'd have warrants to go search their places. I'm glad everyone visited told them to kick rocks and hope they lawyered up to uncover exactly which laws the government broke in order to harass them like that.

    Out of state range recommendation?

    Close than PA or NJ, you have CT with Fairfield County Firearms and Archery. It was my go-to CT spot to take someone to go rent handguns and try them. I haven't been there in years but rental and ammo prices were on par or a little cheaper than any NY range I've rented handguns from. They had an...

    The DUMBEST "Safe" Design I've Ever Seen!

    Hahaha, man, that's incredible. I wasn't prepared for my mind to be blown as badly as when he stuck the pry bar in that handle.

    So the right category is the Miscellaneous section of the Classifieds. That said I'm interested in some of it – PM sent.

    S&W 9mm RESPONSE SERIES CARBINE..

    That's an awesome concept and a great response to "but does it take Glock mags?"

    Bond Arms derringers?

    Besides not being anywhere near NY, all of that about cottonmouths being aggressive and chasing people is BS. As far as the Northern Water Snake, which we do have in NY, they're neither aggressive nor venomous and they're no danger to anyone or pets... unless you're out walking your pet frog...

    Questions About Reloading Manuals

    Besides the Glock issue, you have to look on their website and box for recommended max velocity. For most of their pistol bullets, the plating is thin and can't withstand high velocities. They do make a 0.429" bullet that is rated up to 1850 fps and I use for practice .44 Mag loads. Everything...

    Bond Arms derringers?

    Agreed on the LCP vs Bond Arms. As far as snake shot, I don't see any need. There's no snake "attack" where you only had time for 1 or 2 shots. You either didn't have time for any shots or you had all the time in the world and it wasn't life-or-death for you, you wanted to kill it. See, snakes...

    Bond Arms derringers?

    Cool, but heavy for a backup. Might as well just carry another loaded 10-rd mag. Or you can have a .38 or .357 mag 5-shooter for a little larger size, but less weight (I swear I'm not trying to convince anyone else to buy a S&W 340). Will it work as a backup? Sure. They are well-built by...

    I've always called Honda engines bulletproof.

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    Well, the only time I've read about the lock failing was on those super-lightweight ones. The thing is, if you pull out the lock and that's not the cause, you have to put it back in before you send it to S&W for work, otherwise they'll charge you for it instead of covering it under warranty. If...

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    That's terrible and definitely isn't normal. If you aren't hesitant about shipping a handgun yourself, give S&W a call. They should sort it out and ship it straight back to your door. Otherwise take it to the shop you got it from and have them handle that process for you. That's too expensive a...

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    Staging the trigger is a good skill for long shots, but the close-up defensive technique is a smooth, uninterrupted press straight back to the break, a controlled full let-off, then begin the next press. If you train to shoot from the trigger reset with your autoloaders, you should definitely...
