Re: .40 S&W Ammo performance
I'm a fan of heavy bullets, regardless of caliber. In .40S&W, that's 180gr. HSTs are my carry ammo of choice, with Gold Dots as a number 2 choice.

Re: Should I trade my Para Ordnance P14?
Why are you looking to sell it? I had a P14.45 LDA several years ago, and only sold it because I needed a regular 1911 for concealed carry. If you're doing something similar, I understand, but if not, why? Just tired of the platform and want something different? As for price, start high, and work yo...

Re: What duty-type handgun to buy?
I'm a 1911 fan, but the FNX 45 has recently caught my eye. Not sure if it would be as impressive if I was stuck with the limited capacity 10-rd mags though.

Re: 5.56mm ammo for deer hunting
Another vote for 70gr Barnes TSX here. I've seen a lot of people have success with them, and I'll be using them this fall/winter.

Re: Things Headed South in Iraq
My professor responded with this: "You're right, if true, this type of statement will rally support against them. My gut reaction though is that the statement was either (1) made by a fringe element of the movement or (2) wasn't made by them at all, but is simply black propaganda to try to isolate ...

Re: Things Headed South in Iraq
I heard on the news that the War in Iraq had ended a while back. Seems that report was premature. And is anyone who served in OIF the least bit surprised? :roll: Nope, not in the slightest. Figured it would fall, but the Syrian Civil War has offered an unexpected foreign/regional component. As much...

Re: Purpose of the Semi Auto 308 Battle Rifle
Hey, Alpha 17, can you do some science? How about adding to the data pool and set up my test and run it with the Scar 17. I don't know anyone with one or I'd do it myself. IDPA at 15 yds, rifle low ready and time 5 rds. That would put the modern 308 battle rifle into the mix. :D I don't have a shot...

Re: Purpose of the Semi Auto 308 Battle Rifle
I'll go with the minority opinion here, and say that not only is .308 not being being replaced by the "intermediate" cartridges, it is probably growing as a viable round. Newer rifles such as the SCAR 17S, HK 417, and others have proven themselves around the world. The idea of the Designated Marksma...
