TX ConCarry moving forward...
Texas has a License to Carry Handgun (LTC) that can be applied for and after the citizen has met the requirements spelled out under TX law. The handbook is about 60 pages long and it makes very little distinction about carrying openly vs carrying concealed after the state SHALL issue or DENY...- cstone

brass cases with small flash holes?
.071 is considered a standard decapping pin diameter. RCBS makes small pins .057 diameter. I use a Harvey deprimer and they sell standard and small diameter decapping pins. Speer .357 SIG brass has small diameter flash holes, which I learned after bending several Lee decapping pins. Since I... -
4' Shop Lights
Have you considered removing the ballast from the fixtures and putting T8 LED tubes? At least keep one or two and put a regular plug and pull chain or switch on the cord and use them a s temp lights where needed. Just a thought. -
Hovering Helicopter Heaven
If you lived anywhere near Fountain or south of Fort Carson, you would have seen plenty of rotary wing aircraft. Lots of military helicopters coming and going from the north helipad at the Pentagon and Bolling AFB. While HMX is based out of Quantico, they forward stage at Bolling, and on the...- cstone

Olight Baldr RL Mini Initial Impressions
I like it. Small, bright, easy on and off and reasonable price. The real test will be how it holds up over time with lots of rounds through the pistol. I bought two lights, including the RL Mini, and Olight sent me four more small flashlights in the box. Thanks Olight! -

Recomend good 80% lowers and jig?
I bought a 10 pack of 80% AR lowers from Tactical Machining and a Modulus Universal jig a little over a year ago. They finished up very nicely because everything was set up well and I took my time. Are you planning on using a router? I used a DWP611, and it handled the task pretty easily. -
Best stock upgrade for a 10/22?
I have a Hogue with a bull barell and a take down that I eventually will put in a Magpul. The Hogue is a nice range rifle, and is more accurate and consistent than I am. After trying the Magpul take down X22, I knew that I will eventually do that just to make it an easy rifle for walking... -
Best stock upgrade for a 10/22?
If you are carrying it, I suggest the Magpul. The takedown is an even better option IMO. If you will just be shooting it off a bench or prone at a range, the Hogue overmold is heavy and comfortable. It makes a very stable platform. My first and IMO, most important upgrade for a 10/22 is the... -

Baltimore Will No Longer Prosecute ‘Low Level Crimes’ Like Prostitution, Trespassing,
If a crime is prosecuted but results in either no penalty or meaningless sentences, does it matter whether the crime is prosecuted? Which prostitute stopped turning tricks because she was picked up for soliciting? What is the current fine, and how much is actually collected by the city for UIP...- cstone

AR build questions...
Assembling a lower is relatively easy. Just following one of the many YouTube videos will get you through the basics without any special tools. A bench vice is nice to have, but it can be done without one. Get extra detents and springs, as you are likely to shoot one or a half dozen across...- cstone

Carrying in Public Bathroom
Find a holster that you can use all day, in every situation, and leave your pistol in it. If there ever comes a time that you have to take your pistol out of your holster while seated on a toilet, I recommend that you lay the pistol in your under-drawers. Never, never, never ever put your...- cstone

Ruger Blackhawk 357/9mm
Built very sturdy. I haven't shot 9mm out of mine, but have put my hottest .357 Mag reloads in it without any anxiety. -
All SW revolvers have internal lock?
My S&W revolvers are pre-lock, but removing the lock isn't that difficult. -
Does mag. size limits change your choice?
To paraphrase Clint Smith; No one ever regrets bringing too much ammunition to a gun fight. Carry as many magazines as you can, regardless of capacity or caliber. When I carried a revolver, I carried as many speedloaders as I could. I never considered the difference between the .38 Spl or...
