    Home defense ammo for shotguns

    Is it possible to correct for the silly super-wide aspect ratio of the video?

    POLL: When will the ammo shortage end?

    I'm sad to say it, but it seems you got ripped. Check out this post about a purchase of the same stuff.

    Null SMZ shoulder holster

    I certainly agree with that.

    Recommended bullet molds???

    Nope. I, too, use a press that sizes the bullets and applies lubricant to the grooves in one operation. As-cast bullets are seldom properly sized for the intended caliber.

    How about a nice cigar when reloading?

    Doug, the OP is all about no-fire electronic replacements for cigarettes and cigars. They should be quite safe even when playing with powder.

    Recommended bullet molds???

    The few Lee molds I have are at least fifteen years old and they worked OK. However, the best molds were made by Hensley & Gibbs. They are out of business, but another company bought their tooling and is where I would start. That company is Ballisti-Cast. Here is a chart of all Hensley *...

    CCI primers????

    Like Trigger said, there are various characteristics with various manufacturer's primers. I use CCI primers for a lot of what I reload, though, and have had very good performance with them.

    $2000 shopping list

    That should concern you a lot. By that, I mean you should take the necessary precautions. I never melt lead in the house. I always use the garage and have fans that are pushing fresh air past me and taking the lead fumes away from me at the same time. When handling the raw wheel weights or...

    Ruger 10-22

    Heck - I remember buying .22 ammo in a drug store and it was usually on a Sunday. I was all of 14 or 15 years old.

    Kel-Tec Sub 2000

    The 33-round magazines will fit any of the 9mm Glocks and your carbine. The interchangeability problem only occurs when trying to use smaller magazines than the firearm can handle.

    Kel-Tec Sub 2000

    I presume you are using a known G17 magazine then. It should be longer than the 4" that I measured on my G19 magazines.

    Kel-Tec Sub 2000

    What I discovered is that the Kel-Tec Sub 2000 can be configured for several different magazine types. It can be set up for the Glock 17 or Glock 19 magazines, among others. If yours is set up for the Glock 17 magazine type (and if the G17 magazine does not stick out beyond the magazine well)...

    Kel-Tec Sub 2000

    You could be mistaken by that ad for the 33-round magazine. IT will replace all of the other lengths of magazines. However, the Kel-Tec Sub 2000 may not accept the magazines that are shorter than some minimum-length version. I'll peruse Kel-Tec's web pages and see if they say what can or...

    Kel-Tec Sub 2000

    Mine came with the 10 round Glock mag, I seen on you tube that they use to come with a 17 round or something like that and I know you can still get 33 rnds for them as well.What is the length of the magazine? I'm wondering if it uses G19 magazines or those for the G17. If you don't have a G19...

    Now this is a revolver

    Of course, it's a pepperbox - one that shoots HUGE peppers. ;D

    Cleaned a couple of black rifles tonight.

    I sure would like to play with the Kris. Is the one you have equipped with a suppressor (silencer)? If so, what do you have to do to make it legal for you to have possession of it?

    BOATLIFT - An untold tale of 9/11 resilience

    This video is about a piece of 9/11 heroism that I had never heard of before. It's especially interesting to me since I've become a crew member for our Ozaukee County Rescue Boat (working in Lake Michigan). I invite y'all to watch it...

    How reliable is an AR-15 when treated badly?

    In another forum, I ran across this very interesting YouTube video about the AR-15 in which the AR-15 is loaded with dirt in various ways and, for the most part, worked perfectly. I think anyone interested in the AR-15 platform should watch this.

    Kahr-Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine .30 ML

    I'm envious. That looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

    Thinking about buying an AK

    You might be able to find a decent SKS for less money than an AK. I have one and, with a little work, it's a decent shooter. It's no match for my AR in overall performance, but for the price (and I can't remember what I paid for it but it wasn't much) it's a fun shooter. 10 rounds can be...
