      Browning Cynergy CX 30" - Review

      I respectfully suggest you shoot your trap singles from the bottom barrel for less felt recoil. It works for me. Also, you may want to consider a Carlson ported choke in, say, IM. Their constrictions are truer than Browning's and the ported chokes definitely work to reduce felt recoil. In...

      Casual Trap Shooting O/U Shotgun?

      For trap I shoot a Maxus Walnut Sporting (not Maxus 2) with a Birchwood Casey shell catcher (a must for trap with a semi-auto unless you want to shoot alone). Catcher works like a charm after 1500 rounds. It came loose once, but I reattached it with 3M adhesive and it's like welded on with no...

      Constitutional Carry...crime drops in Ohio...

      Mexican Bob, You are so right. And ordinary criminals try to maximize advantages over victim vulnerability in many other ways. They are generally also very stupid, as you say. They commit acts that will result in miniscule instant rewards of money, sex, or revenge, (if any reward results at...

      Constitutional Carry...crime drops in Ohio...

      I'm very happy to say that, after Justice Thomas's writing for the majority in Bruen, these statistical observations no longer have any relevance whatsoever to our constitutional gun liberties. All we can do when the criminal deterrent value of citizen gun ownership continues to be obvious is...

      The hidden insidious dynamic of "red flag" gun confiscation

      One extremely important, but hidden, insidious dynamic of red flag gun confiscation law is that the only gun confiscation mistakes that can be measured are under-predictions of dangerousness. This naturally causes an increase in over-predicting the dangerousness of persons who legally possess...

      UMC and Early Remington-UMC Primers

      I'm a brand newbie on this forum. I had this thread bookmarked for a long time for reference, reread it last week, and then remembered my UMC ad. I joined the forum to make the post. Glad to add to your very fine discussion. I reload a lot of 38 S&W Specials and about five years ago I bought...

      Exploring the Power and Versatility of 38 Special Ammo

      I have had great results with Badman Bullets' Elmer Keith-inspired SWC with its front driving band, polymer coated and sized at .358 after coating. 16BIN hardness according to Badman. They are shipped free, per thousand now (when in stock), at 13 cents apiece. Very clean shooting and handling...

      Exploring the Power and Versatility of 38 Special Ammo

      Apologies. I see the intended context. I hope you get your Model 10 soon and that you enjoy the heck out of it. It's been called the most iconic double action revolver, and I agree with that statement. Even with a Hillary Hole, they exude something "Special".

      Exploring the Power and Versatility of 38 Special Ammo

      I'm new to this forum and am therefore unsure exactly how you "Gotcha" me, or even why you would try to do so. Nevertheless, I am happy to say "You win!"

      Exploring the Power and Versatility of 38 Special Ammo

      I wasn't trying to change your mind from a heavy bbl. M10, just glorify the desirability of ANY S&W M&P revolver, now designated the M10.

      Exploring the Power and Versatility of 38 Special Ammo

      From Field and Stream a century ago, October 1923. This should exacerbate your desire for that M10!

      Exploring the Power and Versatility of 38 Special Ammo

      .38 Special is my favorite caliber, primarily based on its historic symbolism. Here, REM-UMC sealed .38 Sp. boxes are c. 1913 to 1916. Middle box of .38 Colt Sp. is black powder loading, which was the caliber's original powder. Colt would never give their competitor S&W any designation, so...

      New person from NW Kansas

      Thanks to all of those on my ad hoc welcoming committee. As a Life Endowment Member of the National Rifle Association and a retired criminologist (theoretical criminology and justice policy), I have published articles and op-eds about our 2nd Amendment liberties. Thankfully, after Justice...

      UMC and Early Remington-UMC Primers

      This is my first post. Yes, I'm 8 years late to the party. Attached is an ad from October 30, 1884 on the front page of American Field. It specifically references "Wesson Primers No. 2" for all paper shotshells. Apparently, although the original poster noted that "Wesson Primer" references...
