  1. Amex in January is bad for Fraud

    Three years ago my Amex Blue card was compromised. About 17 charges for about $800 took place in about two days that January. No problem as Amex resolve the matter immediately, cancelled the card (not the account) and immediately issued a new card. Now this January, my Amex green card was...

  2. Anyone use the UpLULA Pistol Mag Loader?

    I'm thinking of ordering one of these off the Internet for loading of my SIG SP2340 and FNP-45 magazines. I am curious to know how durable this thing is, especially if I am going to use them to load multiple 15-round 45ACP mags for the FNP. Any personal experience would be appreciated. The...

  3. First Firing clean-up chore (Xmas FNP-45 Comp). Whoa!

    This morning the wife and I finally go a little range time in. It started out with the wife trying the 8-year old SIG SP2340 in .357 SIG flavor. I've shot a lot through this pistol and even though it sat dirty from a bad-borrowed event even a mild clean-up allowed for a near flawless experience...

  4. Mrs. Plinky and her [upcoming] .45 ACP pistol

    Ok, so this week I purchased a couple of plinking pistols (Sig Mosquito and Ruger 10/22TB). I broke them down (stripped them) to check for readiness and yesterday grabbed some ammo and the wife and went to the nearest indoor range. First, I put the Ruger in the wife's hands and let her have a...

  5. Measuring Suppression

    One of the things I am curious about is what I think I an not seeing on can manufacturers' websites is the dB reduction for a given can as applied to a mounted weapon with factory/special loads. When it comes to a time where an ever growing can market is getting bigger, trying to sift through...

  6. Buying my first can (not beer; suppressor)

    Ok, as a passive endeavor I thought about buying my first suppressor. I've never bought anything that requires BATF involvement so it will be a new experience. I recently bought a Sig Mosquito w/TB and also thinking about a Ruger 22/45 (10149 w/ TB and Picatinny rail) and wondered if TB's...

  7. Ordering from Cheaper Than Dirt

    Ok, I do not know if mentioning them is like saying something evil, dirty, or just uncivilized, but I have to ask to find out, right? I tried some dealers this morning about a pair of pistols. No one had the pair I wanted to purchase, and weren't entirely confident about when they'd be...

  8. WTB SIG P2340 40S&W Barrel

    I am looking for the conversion barrel for my SIG P2340. Since the serial is on the polymer frame, I'm guessing I could order this online, but would rather see what is available first. I am not even sure if SIG still has these in stock, or their distributors. PM any offerings. Thanks.

  9. Active Hearing Protection

    So, a couple of weeks back when I bought my first rifle I picked up the shop's recommend active hearing protection. I figured I could let the wife give it a try when we go out to a WMA this morning. Per the instructions, I removed the cushions to insert the AAA batteries, but I see no way to...

  10. Favorite Cleaning Methods and Products?

    Ok, so I have never bothered to ask anyone about how they clean their firearms. I'm sitting here waiting for Wilson Shoals to open and find myself astounding that in the +20 years I haven't really bothered to get opinions from anyone, and not even talked to anyone to get feedback. I was truly...

  11. Getting the wife into her first firearms class

    Ok, when I was in college (c. 1991-94), I had the luxury of being a member of the University of Florida Pistol and Rifle Club. During that time, I got to shoot a lot of handguns owned by other members. I learned a lot, got to shoot a lot, and between non-competitional and PSA, I learned safety...

  12. Outdoor locations in NE GA to shoot beyond 100 yards?

    Ok, so recently I purchased my first rifle. Prior, I was only a handgun person and shooting could be done near me either indoors (I hate that), or at places like Wilson Shoals. I live near Buford (30519) in Gwinnett county. I've tried to find WMA that had ranges near me that accommodated...

  13. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Ammo (no sticky?) Manufacturers

    Morning All, I recently purchased my first semi-automatic rifle (.223/5.56) and it has a 16" barrel with a right-hand 1:9 twist (6 groves). I know nothing of rifle ammunition. I thought that there might be a sticky on the various ammo manufacturers and afford new owners a chance to stay clear...

  14. New Zealand's Sheep Fascination

    Ok, I thought this was amusing. Just watch it through the punchline. Apologies for any reposting, or if some felt it was a little too close to home. :pop2:
