Yup, that strain screw should be fully tightened and part of your periodic maintenance should be to take off your grip and make sure the strain screw is tight. And yea, corporate culture is leading to trash QC. Their bean-counters have figured out how many fucked guns they can get away with...

I hear you with the 21 grip. That thing feels like grabbing a brick.

Cool project. Why .45 GAP though?

Yea, it's funny talking to air gun afficionadoes about air rifle power. They get very enthusiastic over what I'd consider meager power factors for even a black powder weapon, nevermind modern smokeless arms. Still, with good bullet selection and marksmanship training, it's doable and ethical...

I didn't realize they were moving to Tennessee. That explains a lot. Same with Kimber moving down to Alabama. They made the biggest portion of the move out of Yonkers from 2019-2021. I tell people to be cautious buying Kimbers from the past few years and generally advise against buying any...

Customer service reps for gun companies usually know just as much as you can learn from that company's promo materials.

Send it back to them. Make them pay shipping both ways, the half-dozen hours of employee time it takes to receive, fix, and ship your gun, the parts it takes to fix it, and the ammo it takes to test it. The only way these companies will learn is by hitting their wallet. And make your .44 a Colt...

I'm not a fan of Ruger's double-action revolvers personally. It's mostly the aesthetics. Rugers just don't have a refined look to them, IMO. I love the single-action revolvers. I think those are a nice balance of aesthetics and rugged build. As far as their casting process goes, their castings...

As for the holster, I can't recommend this company enough for a good leather holster. Sourdough Pancake™ This is an OWB holster, you can order it with removable IWB straps, and you can even get a harness to use it as a chest holster. I've carried my 629 in all those ways with that holster. I'm...

Yea, the Stealth Hunter has porting and the Magnum Hunter has a compensator. I like my 629 Classic a lot - 5" barrel, full underlug. Carries almost as well as a 4", but has the muzzle-weight of a 6 and bullet velocity is only about 100-150 fps less than my 7.5" Super Blackhawk. It's more...

Remember kids, donate today, vote on Election Day. Let's make the amount he raised on the day of the "convictions" look like chump change.

Awesome choice. That's high on my list when I finally get me a .357 Mag. The Stealth Hunter is a cool choice. I prefer the Magnum Hunter for looks, but it's close. Then there's also the weighted barrel Competitor for its own cool factor and to really make the .44 a pussycat without the extra...

Screw 'em both – S&W 629 vs Colt Anaconda.

In Westchester, the semi-auto rifle endorsement is added to your firearms license. You submit an amendment with one extra notarized document (forgot which). I waited 3-4 months for mine to be approved. They never mailed it to me, so I only found out it was approved 5 months after submitting it...

Let's go Joe! Four more months!

100% agreed. Keep him in the race! I want a landslide in November.

And you would go help the guy if you were there? You could guess the motive was some gangland shit. Do you want to be the number to dial 911 so that you're now on record as a witness?

Denver is such a beautiful city geographically. But man do all the Cali transplants there suck so hard.

Yup. Look to the Federal statutes for the definitions of pistol, revolver, shotgun, or rifle. NY law defines "Firearm" as any pistol, revolver, SBR, or SBS.

Well, 6 either already happened or is extremely unlikely to ever happen depending on how you look at it. Ruger owns Marlin now, so getting a Marlin 1894 in .357 is pretty much exactly what you're asking for. Unless you want one specifically Ruger-branded. In that case, I think it's a longshot...

Agreed with Podmonkey. Imo, it doesn't replace the .308 at all. It's fine if there wasn't already a .308, but in its standard form it's not much or any better. With the steel-base, 80k PSI version, it gains some great velocity with an AP penetrator bullet... OK, cool, but you can't switch...

As far as I know, New Jersey is the only state that prohibits carrying firearms. I don't know of any localities that prohibit it either. There is definitely no NY state-wide or NYC-specific restriction on them. I'd be interested to know if anywhere else in the U.S. prohibits them.

That's a beautiful work of art and machining

It won't have anything to do with the country, it'll be in the form of the many non-nationalist leftist rituals already in place. Land acknowledgements, DEI statements, etc. Leftists already have their own form of "patriotism". You see it in woke American corporate culture.

The LCP Max is a great little pistol. 10+1 of .380 in a pistol smaller than most people's phones. Not too fun to shoot with its tiny sight radius, but it has very good sights and not too snappy.

I hope that quote is on the record, because that line needs to be printed in size 20 font and highlighted when his lawyers prepare his appeal.

Yea, #4 looks to be just about the perfect balance of penetration and decisively ending a fight to me. I wouldn't feel undergunned with #5 turkey loads either. No. 4 buck is what I have stashed for a theoretical home defense shotgun. I say "theoretical" because my home defense long gun is a...

Gotcha, makes sense. Does Swampfox even still make the Kingslayer? It's a fantastic little optic. Mine has been idle for a while, but I think I'm going to mount it on a Ruger 22/45 Mk 3 I'm waiting on an amendment for. I wouldn't put it on a serious use gun though. I had it mounted on my .44 mag...

Hell yea. Versatility is awesome. A 21 with a 10mm slide is the way to go. Are you gonna cut them for optics or stick to irons?

Very nice. That's my favorite model of that gun by far. The trigger is fantastic in both DA and SA, the sights are good when you use ammo that they're regulated to, and the grips handle the recoil of full house magnums well.

Rookie numbers. Get standard capacity mag bans overturned in CA and the Northeast and see those numbers skyrocket.

I looked into the WSSM lawsuit stuff. I had no idea. At the end of the day, those never interested me. Too many weird issues with such a fat, short case. As far as the 6.8 Western and .270 WSM, they're both a bit more powerful than the .270 Winchester, unlike the .300 WSM, which is a bit less...

I didn't realize the WSSMs are dead by lawsuit and that the .300 WSSM was always a wildcat. But yea, going by the "commonly available" criteria, I still maintain the .300 WSM. It will be in some gun stores and will be readily available online. The next ones up would be the .338 Federal, 7mm...

I'd say the .300 WSM. You can find more power in the WSSMs or the .325 WSM, but they aren't what I'd call commonly available. The .338 Federal is neither as powerful as the .300 WSM, nor is it as available. Even the .300 WSM isn't something I'd expect to find in most NY or PA gunstore shelves...

Absolutely insane. NYPD's licensing is broken by design.

If you land on the .300 Blackout, I definitely advise being very selective with ammo and wouldn't trust it on game with long shots using most ammo out there. Definitely supersonic. I've used the 110 gr Vmax and 110 gr Barnes TacTX hunting. I wouldn't recommend the VMax. Too lightly built and...

To me it depends on how far past 100 yards those shots are. Out to 150 yards max, I'd still go for the .44 Mag, especially if you can move a little to try to move in closer. Beyond that, I'd go for the 7mm, especially if you're going to be glued to one spot. With the .44 Mag, out at 150 yards...

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Russia is currently winning a proxy war against an albeit, smaller, nation. The thing is that Ukraine is funded, armed, and supplied by all of NATO. They're getting NATO training, NATO (mostly American) money, American and German tanks and armored...

I dunno if I'd call a 4.5 lbs, 7.5" barreled revolver a /companion/ to a rifle. Still looks like a ton of fun.

Modern double-actions with the aesthetics of early single-action revolvers. Not my cup of tea. I'd rather have an actual single-action. That said, I get the appeal. Kinda neat as a collector's piece, though for something I'd shoot regularly, I'd probably prefer something else.

You can't stop the signal. Guns are becoming easier and easier to manufacture. Ammo is simple to make. Even if you're reduced to absolutely minimal equipment, black powder and muzzleloaders are both something the average person can make at home. Primers are the only really challenging part of...

The Elite is great, but the Legion has some nicer features. The grip panels are nicer – better texture, more svelte, and a nicer shape. The sights are better – night sights with a blacked-out and serrated rear and a green contrast front versus the Elite's white 3-dot night sights. Finally, the...

I'm sittin at 4 months right now. Thankfully, I submitted it when I knew I had no intention of buying another gun for a while.

I saw one the other day when I bumped into a Sig rep coming outta the range. It's awesome. The same recoil spring setup as the MCX, so no buffer tube. Short-stroke pisto[n] gas system. It's only a barrel cap away from being NY compliant, and I love that stock – very similar to what I have on my...

It would make for a decent game of bingo if you also took a shot with every square you hit.

Basic reading, counting, and measuring skills are all you need to do it at a basic level. So that knocks out a good chunk of the current population.

I hear conservatives talk about it and am uncomfortable. For all the talk, conservatives are not the types to make the first moves, but are the type to be more competent during it. I hear leftwingers talk about it and I become concerned. They're way more likely to start it and have way less...
