Man, I wish they still made the 96/44. Used prices on them are silly.

Small game like rabbits and squirrels in your back yard I'd go with an air rifle. You can get really affordable ones these days that are powerful enough for small game. For larger game a bow is the better choice. Yes, you can drop a grand on an air gun that'll take a deer or wild pig, but without el...

Ah, Botach. Placed an order on May 31st for items that showed in stock on the website. Didn't hear anything after a couple weeks so I checked on my order and it said the items were due in to their warehouse on July 1. Check today and it just states "Backorder". Here I thought those issues were behin...

I had a really dumb thought flash through my brain a minute ago. Y'all know the Magnum Research BFR revolvers, right ? I wonder if anyone has ever thought to have one chambered in something like 7.62x39. Now this probably wouldn't work considering the 7.62x39 is kind of tapered and all of the chamb...

Match the gun to the capabilities of the user. I've seen so many people pushed into a 9mm that wasn't ready for it. At the range they can dump a 22 rapid fire into a head size target and when you hand them a 9 they are all over the target. What's more tactically effective for that shooter- putting 3...

St Louis is at 106 murders for the first half of the year which puts us ahead of 2019 numbers (194 for the year), which was the second highest in a decade. And the weather hasn't even been hot yet! What I am noticing is the shootings have become more brazen. It used to be most of them happened betwe...

Anyone else here from St Louis that can verify how common these public neighborhoods with gates are? There are literally hundreds of gates like this in St Louis city. Nearly every street in the Central West End has multiple gates. A whole section of Tower Grove East has gates. The Grove is covered ...

Prediction for fall tactical apparel- Hawaiian shirts are out, pastel pink polos are in.

Well, just got surgery on my hand, so time to use the non-dominant hand for shooting for the next 2 weeks or more likely, 2 months. Thank goodness for pistols. I'd sure like an arm brace right now, but oh well. Good luck, it always feels weird. You may need to adjust your sights as well. I find tha...

The purple stuff is marked as training ammo. I'm not quite sure what makes it a training round though. Same brass case as duty ammo, same projectiles, same bullet weight. All I can figure is they're slightly reduced power but that makes no sense as it would be more likely to cause failures in cycli...

@PistolPete I am aware that the mayor "doxxed" several people. I fail to see how that is relevant to homeowners protecting themselves from 500 protestors, some armed, who were trespassing on private property. The issue is between the protesters and the city government. Private citizens are not an a...

One can hope! That's the main reason I keep a .40 cal around, for those times that cheap police and alphabet agency surplus ammo hits the market. And agencies have been stocking up in record numbers in recent years, it would be nice for shooters if police get defunded and have to sell some of that ...

I'd love to be able to buy one of those Bearcat armored trucks, but I'll settle for a PD Remington 870 or maybe a couple plate carriers if they decide to surplus those out. I'm actually kind of curious as to what sort of equipment the PDs would surplus out should they have to. Any of the military s...

What we have learned especially from civil wars of the last 30 years is elites (successful ones, anyway) have learned to lever people into in-groups and out-groups and force the "neutral" to get off the fence and join a side (for sheer survival). Actually, elites have managed that for a while. Chai...

It could affect the availability of police surplus firearms and gear though, including new but unissued gear, and that would be something to share on ZS. Prepping gets expensive and if wer can save a few bucks buying surplus gear it might help some of us. One can hope! That's the main reason I keep...

Ha, sorry for the triple post! I must have hit quote instead of edit when I went back to adjust spelling. Should be sorted now. [edit] Also, I wanted to add that a reasonable person could debate whether a government official reading off the names and addresses of people who criticized her proposed f...

Welp, I hope the defunding/budget cuts a lot of departments across the country are looking at won't adversely affect their equipment selection/availability. :ooh: Lots of people disagree! But advocating for better armed or worse armed police isn't a great topic for ZS, so moving on! Over the weeken...

Summary: Crowd of 300 protesters? rioters? breach the gates of a private community, using private roads on their way to oust the duly elected mayor of Louisville, KY. In the short video clip, the crowd seems pretty indiscriminate about bleeding onto homeowners' properties as they pass through (but ...

Personally I'm working on my hick twang and buying a cowboy hat in the hopes that if the country breaks up Missouri ends up in the Republic of Texas. :lol: I mean, come on Texas- we have Midway USA and CMMG, as well as a Ruger distrubution center and Boeing that makes military hardware. Don't let Mi...

Two elections ago a woman in front of me drove to the polling place and got in front of me in line. She didn't have ID, didn't have a voting card, wasn't sure of her last name until she looked at the piece of paper she brought. The officials gave her a ballot. I'm not saying it was voter fraud, but ...

The U.S. Military Has a Boogaloo Problem https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xg8g87/the-us-military-has-a-boogaloo-problem Some of the largest private Facebook groups catering to the boogaloo movement have scores of members who identify as active-duty military. Thinking people who like boogaloo meme...

I bought my last one around 2003, so I won't nay-say you... I'll just add that I hate to hear that, if it's the case. Every one I've had my hands on has shot well....... But, I will admit that I haven't had my hands on a newer one Mine is a 44 magnum. I haven't found a load that it likes yet, but I...

Got a Faxon pencil barrel for a build for my sweetie. Recent events have her thinking that she needs her own AR, that perhaps certain events may call for more than a shotgun.

Marlin makes a fine lever gun as well. Man, I have to disagree there. Marlin used to make a fine lever gun, but their current offerings are sub-par. And the models they made in the years after they moved the factory are downright junk. The finishing on newly manufactured Marlins falls behind Rossi ...
