      Recommendations for a lady's slug gun

      I just bought a second hand H&R Handi Rifle in 20ga, and it has a pretty short stock on it. They are no longer made, but you might look around for one.

      The Law of Self Defense Seminar with Attorney Andrew Branca

      Wish I could be there Andrew. Sadly, I'll be out of town. Your book is required reading!

      If the National Guard is the "Last Resort" how does G&S fit into the equation?

      I throw this solidly at the feet of Martin O'Malley. He disarmed all Marylanders, which completely enables rampant thug behavior like we've seen. There's a reason why you don't see rioting in cities and states with strong Second Amendment support. The thugs know they'd be shot.

      What is the Fascination with Muzzleloaders?

      I just love the additional challenge of a muzzleloader, and they come in all descriptions. In Maryland you can hunt with a hand-cannon pistol, a traditional Hawkin, a CW musket, or a modern in-line. Whatever makes you happy!

      MSP being ridiculous about my CCW app.

      They are being ridiculous to test your resolve. They are trying to find out how badly you want to carry a gun. If they can get you to quit the first time you apply, then they have an easy victory. It's not right, but in Libby states like this...

      Semi auto 12 gauge

      I'm pondering this exact dilemma. Looking hard at the Stoeger m3500 and Benelli SBE II. The Stoeger uses the Benelli inertial semi-auto system. (I'm told). The Stoeger is half the price.

      Ideas for self-defense shotgun loads?

      I saw in the news recently that a Houston, TX marine foiled a home invasion by shooting the perp climbing in the window with a single round of #8-1/2 bird shot. The perp took off and was not heard from again. Didn't show up at a local hospital. Kinda surprising, but there it is...

      Need Advice on Air Rifle Scope

      Good advice here. My .22-cal springer destroyed a Simmonds 3-9 scope after about 50 shots. I sent it back to them with a note. They fixed it and said not to put it back on the air gun!

      Fundamental black powder question

      For patched round balls another way to guesstimate a MAXIMUM LOAD of black powder is to use half the weight of the ball as the volume charge of powder. For example, a 50-cal lead ball weighs 178 grains. Call it 180. Half of that is 90 grains. So the max powder charge is 90 grains by volume. I...

      Fundamental black powder question

      Triple-7 2F is 20% more energetic by volume than Pyrodex RS or Goex 2F. Triple-7 3F is 25% more energetic by volume and burns faster. That's why I use T73F in the ML pistols.

      Recommendations on bullet/sabot for CVA Optima

      I've heard that these work great, or not great, with not much in-between. The Encore and Omega have the last inch of rifling drilled out of the bore (they call it the QLA) to facilitate sabot loading and also to help pull the sabot off the round when it fires. The QLA really screws up the...

      Handgun muzzleloader success!

      Hey yourself! Yes, MDS and BCCIWLA member. Small world. :D I think I did borrow somebody's hammer recently to pound a round down the bore of that thing! :party29: Maybe yours? Yes, I remember that Zuoave mozzleloader. Very cool. I have to get the bore on that pistol perfectly clean and...

      Handgun muzzleloader success!

      This story is about a muzzleloader hunt in the Mt. Nebo Wildlife Management Area in Garrett County, in the mountains of Western Maryland on Thursday October 16th, 2014. In the previous two weeks before hunting season I’d spent a few days at the range relearning how to shoot the White Rifles...

      Any BP Cannon Owners

      I've got a Traditions 50-cal 9" naval-style cannon. I've only shot tin-foil balls out of it, used to knock down stacked beer cans.

      Slow down and NEVER let your guard down!

      I agree. People like to chat at the range, and this is really bad for my loading routine. Most of the time I forget to put the primer on the gun, and this just results in a 'click' and a test of my flinch reflex.

      Early muzzleloader with a ML pistol

      I decided to commit to hunting the early muzzleloader season coming up this week with the White Rifles Javalina pistol. It likes the 45/40 sabot and White Powerstar 350gr spitzer bullet sitting on top of 55 grains of T73F. Triple-7 3F is high energy, and comparable to about 70gr of black...
