    Not your typical question about a recorder

    I know recorders are well known around these parts and figured you guys would be the ones to ask. I'm looking to pick one up but not for reasons typical to this site, it's for an a/v project I'm going to start in my spare time. Having chatted with some folks in this field I was led to some...

    Looking for a new compact 9mm

    I'm looking to change up my compact options and am considering a double stack compact 9mm with about 12 rounds. I've done some poking around on various websites to see what I could come up with and I'm torn between the Taurus Millennium 9mm compact and the XD Subcompact (with an XD(M) in 9mm...

    OT: Private sales, where to post?

    I know this comes up on a semi-frequent basis, but I can't seem to find anything in the search :uhoh: Anyway, I'm looking to thin the gun collection a little and would like to know of some places to post an ad. I know of outdoortrader.com, and the ad banner above (which seems to be low in...

    OT? Could we be violating state law accidently?

    I apologize if this has been done before. I was curious about the specifics on SBRs in this state, so I pulled up 9.41.190 which naturally brought me over to 9.41.220, which is the parts contraband law and I found something puzzling. My understanding of 9.41.220 is that it is illegal in this...

    OT - Where is a good refinishing place?

    Mr. Dumb-Dumb over here didn't realize that a cleaner I was using contained acetone until it was too late. Now I have paint stripped in the chamber area of my GSG-5 along with some run off down the outside near the ejection port. Does anyone know of any place locally that can clean this up?

    Where are the smileys?

    Ever since the switch to vBulletin I can't locate the rest of the smileys. The basic ones like the wink ;) and the regular smile :) show up but I thought there were a lot more (like the dancing banana). Did the other smileys get deleted during the change? Where are other users finding the...

    Who makes a low-riding leather holster?

    I currently carry my P226 in a Serpa duty holster and while this works well for general open carry and mild-to-moderate difficulty for hiking, it is quite heavy and adds quite a lot of fatigue in extremely difficult mountaneering, especially when snow is involved. The power of google isn't with...

    What is with the orange lately?

    I'm sure I missed the memo, probably because someone didn't attach the appropriate TPS cover sheet. Anyway, I don't understand what the thing is with painting parts of or all of your hardware orange. Google isn't being helpful, unless I want to learn about making PVC guns. Anyone care to...

    Which .45 would you get?

    In my early days of shopping for a pistol, I shot a bunch of .45s before deciding on .40 S&W and picked up my P226. Now I've built up a modest collection and would like to round it out with a .45 or two. Looking back on my previous experience I'm going by my previous choices, which was a Sig...

    Open carry at a KOA campground?

    Seems "KOA" might be too short for a search query so if this has been discussed once before I apologize. I'm looking to plan a road trip to a few of the western national parks for next year around Labor Day and barring any federal law changes, I will be open carrying the whole time (my route...

    Non-resident passing through, how is OC in Utah?

    Washington resident here getting ready to take a road trip to Colorado and will be passing through Utah, specifically through the SLC area. I've been through the state's codes so I know I'm legal to carry (WA CPL reciprocacy) and feel familiar enough with the law to comfortably open carry, but...

    How soon must you report a homicide?

    I know how we all love scenarios, but I feel that this is a good one for any hiker or back country enthusiast out there. On my way out to the middle of nowhere on Mountain Loop I had a random thought that I simply couldn't answer. The biggest reason for carrying is personal protection, but...

    Low-ride leather holster for an M66

    I'm thinking of picking up a .357 mag, probably one with a 6" barrel (haven't decided yet), but I don't want to make the purchase without first finding out what holsters I can get. I can find nearly anything in high-ride or mid-ride leather but I can't seem to find a good low-ride leather...

    A couple of quick OC stories from a backpacker

    It seems like since I've changed OC rigs a few months ago for when I'm out hiking/backpacking, people have taken more notice and I thought I would share some of the encounters with the forum. Most of the good encounters have appeared to have been from other gun owners and comments were along...

    Good single stack 9mm

    imported post I know this is an OC structured site, but I'm looking to pick up a sub compact 9mm to increase my carry options; something that can be used for pocket carry or put into an ankle holster. I've looked at .380 ACP pistols and I really like the Ruger LCP, but the cost and availability...

    Quick questions regarding Nevada pistol laws

    imported post I was looking through the Nevada OC pamphlet (thank you Felid`Maximus for putting that together) as well as perusing the state forum and I see that it is mentioned frequently that loaded carry in the car (so long as it's not on your person) in Nevada is perfectly legal without a...
