Seems like the only shows that’ll make it to the air are “reality” shows like Sons of Guns, what with their FFL issues splayed all over the Internets. But really, I pulled my season pass from the DVR once they came up with this… this… I don’t know what this is. It’s a spinning shotgun hootenanny thingamajig that I think Will and Steph were planning on sending “over to the sandbox to help our boys” or something. Seriously, WTF? Maybe we can all coalesce around a good season or two of Top Shot instead?
The Taurus PT92 is actually one of the guns that I recommend to people on a budget; it was the first gun I did any serious IDPA shooting with and one of the guns I carried the most. Mine was one of the first models with the accessory rail, which made finding holsters kind of tough, but since Beretta has producing M9s with rails for years now you can actually get a holster that will fit the PT92. Our friends at Blade-Tech make their excellent belt holster for the PT92 AR (Accessory Rail) and since the mags are the same size as Beretta 92 magazines, most generic double stack magazine pouches will fit them.
One of the first guns I ever purchased was a Taurus PT92 and I really, really have to disagree with Caleb on this one.
A long time ago (in Internet years) I discovered a service that made my financial life much more structured – and thus, better. Based on no real reviews or recommendations I signed up for an account on Mint.com and started entering in all my banking account details. I watched in amazement as it hoovered in my checking, my savings, my retirement, my (copious) debt account details and transactions and handed me the not-quite-so-rosy picture of my financial health.
Long story short: I got a new, better-paying job and I had tactile feedback as to where our money was going. The result was a massive reduction in debt over the course of the following year.
I’ve often wondered what it would take to build my own AK from a jig recently – mostly ’cause I think it’d be cool to understand how to build a fairly destructive firearm from a piece of sheet metal, and because I like the idea that I can supposedly build firearms for my personal use at home. Legally. I hope.
But how would the ATF view all the tools and shop setup necessary to build out an AR lower via printing technology? Thingiverse.com is currently hosting an .stl file that would allow someone with proper printing gear to crank a composite lower out apparently.
The Lower Receiver is the frame that holds together all the other pieces of the firearm. In the States, all the other pieces can be purchased without a permit – over the counter or through the post. The Lower Receiver is the only part which requires a background check or any other kind of paperwork before purchase.
Typically this part is made of aluminium. A rifle with a Lower Receiver made of plastic can be perfectly functional.
I’ve been a member of my local gun club for a while now, and have managed to use my membership for some great practice. An indoor 100yd range comes in handy in the middle of the winter, I tell you. But finding that there are only so many drills and ways of practicing that I can muster on my own, I decided to stop in for their Thursday evening Combat League. Why have I not tried this sooner?
Rule number one: Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — A Denver police officer shot himself in the hand Tuesday while examining a gun in the bathroom of his home in Jefferson County, according to the Columbine Courier.
The newspaper said Detective Bret Starnes fired his gun without ammunition in a bedroom to test it.
Starnes loaded the gun, but said he forgot it contained live rounds when he pulled the trigger again in a nearby bathroom, hitting his left hand, the newspaper reported.
Rule number two: Never let the muzzle of a gun point at anything you do not want to destroy or kill.
Rule number three: Keep your finger straight and off the trigger.
Rule number four: Be absolutely sure of your target, and what is behind it.
We all can use a little reminder every now and then…
The incident happened just after 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Power Wash at 3730 Randall Drive, police said.
A man was sitting in his car, which he had just finished washing.
Another man walked up, pulled a knife on the victim and demanded his money, police said.
“The victim reached for what the suspect thought was a wallet, but was actually a semi-auto handgun,” a police report said. “The victim pointed his gun at the suspect, who immediately fled on foot.”
Kudos to whomever that was, for not only deterring the crime but also having the level-headedness to just let the guy run. Although I suspect that the would-be robber might be looking into upgrading his weapon…

We are going to buy a Kel-Tec PF9 at retail, and then all we’re going to do with it is shoot it. We are constantly getting emails from readers and fans about how Kel-Tec’s are reliable, and I don’t believe them because I’ve seen multiple examples of the PF9 fail, some in fairly spectacular fashion.
Eagerly awaiting those results. With pictures, hopefully. Maybe I should start a betting pool on the first major failure…
