Hello Jeff,
I have been reading your reviews for a few years now. I have found out that you tell it how it is. I specifically remember that it was your review about the
AR-30 in 338 Lapua Magnum, that sold me on the rifle and caliber. I was wondering, the review stated that the recoil was substantial. Did you actually fire that rifle without the muzzle break? If so, how does that shoulder feel? After firing mine a few times, I would not dream of shooting it without the break on it. I also based my purchase of an
AA 50 Beowulf AR-15 on your
review. This rifle is so much fun to own and shoot. I would like to add a few details. If a person should buy one of these "car stoppers", reloading is almost a must. In addition to this, a chamber gage is a must as well. It will save a lot of
embarrassment at the range from hang-ups and malfunctions. As for factory ammo, AA has a hard time keeping up with demand. Don't get me wrong,
Bill Alexander has to one of the coolest guys I have ever had the pleasure to speak with. However, as far as I know, there still is not a major ammo
manufacturer yet. Anyways, I have continued to base my gun purchases on your opinions. You have yet to steer me in the wrong direction. Thank you for your excellent reviews and I look forward to more in the future.

Thanks for that feedback, Sergeant. It is good to hear from folks who enjoy the 50 beowulf. excellent cartridge, and you are correct; Bill is a first-class guy. Also, and most importantly, thanks to you and your buddies for standing in the gap for us over there. God bless you all.

Hi Jeff, I just purchased a Kel-Tec p-3AT pistol. We find it very hard to cock. My wife & I are senior citizens. We have a very hard time cocking it. I was wondering if there is anything, I can do to making the cocking easier? My wife & I like the weapon very much. We are afraid with the time it takes to get it cocked. It might be to late. I purchased the weapon. To protect us in our home. I would appreciate it very much. If you could tell me anything that would make the cocking. Any easier or faster?
Thank you very much,
Bill
August 24, 2010
Try cocking it with the cocking hand turned backwards, so that you are pushing the slide to the rear, instead of pulling it with just your thumb and finger. Pushing it, you get more of your hand on the slide. Just keep your finger away from the trigger. Keep me posted.
Jeff
Jeff, Boge, and Guest Writers,
Love GunBlast! The best site on the web for gun and accessory reviews. I visit your site every day to check for new articles and read the archives. The reviews are concise but contain just the right information to make an informed decision and the videos provide that something extra to bring it all together.
Based on your reviews I bought a Sig P238, a
Simply Rugged holster for my 44 mag, and a
Demon Tactical takedown pin and they are all as advertised. Now I'm in the market for a
Target Shooting Inc. rifle rest.
Keep up the great work and take care of Tennessee while I'm away.
Mark B.
August 22, 2010
Thanks Mark. You will love that rifle rest.

Hey Jeff,
I love firearms, and I'm all the time researching one aspect or another of them or their use. I can't count the number of times that the information you have provided on your great web site has proved invaluable. Thank you for providing such quality information so unselfishly. I deeply appreciate it as I am sure many others do. Also, I want to wish your website a happy Tenth Anniversary!
Many thanks again.

Jeff, thank you for a great review of the Ruger

Great choice. I always have one in my pocket, unless going through airport security. Even when I pack a larger handgun, I still carry the LCP.

Thanks Greg,
I have been stopping by the Gunblast site every couple of weeks for over a year. I enjoy the well written articles that feed my shooting hobby. As a Christian I appreciate your articles even more! How cool to check out a website for leisure enjoyment and also get a blast of spiritual encouragement. We serve a Great God.
You have a great ministry.
Thank You for praying for me. I will be praying for you.

Hi Derrell,
I truly appreciate your kind words. Thank you for your encouragement, and we are glad that Gunblast. com has been a blessing to you in more ways than one. Being the largest gun test magazine on the Internet provides us more opportunities than just being the best at testing and reporting about the shooting sports. It also provides us the tremendous opportunity for a vast ministry outreach, and share the love of Christ with readers from all over the world. It is truly a grand opportunity, and I am humbled by the chance to serve our Lord in this capacity. Sometimes its a very thank-less job, so I do appreciate your feedback. Before writing this note back to you, I said a prayer specifically for you and your family. I don't know you, nor do I know what you are going through in your life right now. But, I know a God that does, and He loves you more than you know. Keep serving the Lord, and keep praying for me and for Gunblast. com. I not only get to serve the Lord through this work, but I get to do so with two of my brothers that I love very much. God is good.
Thanks, and may God bless you.
Greg
Greg,
I just wanted to encourage you to keep up the good work. I read a few of your archived articles and was impressed. I have been reading
Jeff's articles for years now, but never strolled across the Greg's
Corner section. You have a powerful tool, to use to be a lighthouse to the world essentially, and need to make the most of it. To everyone that God gives much too, he expects much in return. If you continue to use what He has given you, it will continue to grow. The two fold mission of the Church is to 1. See People Saved, and 2. To see people Discipled. You can use your outreach as a means to spread the Gospel to more people than most people will ever meet in a lifetime. Don't stop putting the Gospel in each of your articles. The
Gospel is what people need the most. Everything else will pass. Keep up the good work, I will be praying for you

Like your reviews, and trust your opinion; I just thought I'd help you clean something up . . . I'm not trying to be the grammar police. Keep up the good work.
In your Marlin XL-7 review you wrote "I also used no premium or handloaded ammunition in the Marlin"
Would have sounded better if you'd have written . . . . " I refrained from using . . . . "

Jeff,
Many thanks for maintaining this site. When contemplating a purchase or modification, I always check to see if you've done something similar. Most recently I have thought about upgrading the trigger on an
M&P15-22 but do not want to enlarge the holes in the frame or add any external clips. From my research it appeared that the only manufacturer that fulfilled these criteria was the trigger from
Timney, and, sure enough, you've done a couple for the AR
platform.
There are no videos anywhere on this trigger, and I could not figure out what the setscrews were for until I read your write-up. Thanks.
FYI for your readers: I called Timney, and they said that due to the fact that .22 ammunition is often difficult to ignite, they recommend the
trigger designed for the AR-10 for the M&P15-22. Because he hammer spring is stronger, and the hammer itself has more mass, it will give more consistent ignition that will the unit for the AR-15.
Thanks again.

I read your article on the SIG
P250 2Sum, and while I in fact do buy into the idea that its very close to having 2 guns for the price of one, I think the Sig P250 actually has another even more important strength.
You know how your wife can talk on the phone to her mom, while doing laundry, making breakfast, giving you your day to day marching orders, and run the vacuum cleaner all at the same time? Yet this same incredible multi-tasking creature runs into a dead end when she sits on the sofa and tries to figure out the remote control???
Not only does she not give a red rat's ass what all the remote control can do for her, she
hasn't got a spare moment to devote any attention to it even if she did. Do you really think she will be interested in any kind of a firearm that has anything but the most simple of manual of arms?
Therein lies the real strength of the Sig P250.
The 1911 in my opinion, requires a DEDICATED student to learn, thereby ruling it out. I have taught over 500 people to shoot a
Glock, and most of my women students had significant trouble grasping the idea of the 2 stage trigger. Oddly, I taught nearly this same number of women the Beretta and they actually had LESS trouble with the
2 different trigger pulls of the Beretta than the 2 stage pull of the Glock. The Sig P250 DAO trigger is clearly the best of all worlds for this application. And its trigger is wonderfully smooth and uniform while not being heavy.
Most guys have some sort of DA revolver for their wife. I think that this is an excellent plan. Especially if it shoots more than 5 times. The Smith 351 22 mag. would make an excellent ladies carry gun IMO. But what about the nightstand?
Here, I think the Sig P250 would leave all others in the dust. Its easy to mount a light on, as well as a laser for those that just have to have one. 9mm is about the best caliber for the ladies, and the P250 itself is perfectly scaled for its chambering both inside and out. Its not overly large nor heavy and best of all as reliable as it can possibly be. 16 shots should be enough to discourage even the most rabid home invader, but I am currently shopping for an extended magazine base.
I dont have to worry about having to have her keep it without a round in the chamber or an accidental discharge or if she is going to forget to snick the manual safety. I like the Sig P250. I have one on layaway and it will be her
nightstand gun real soon.

I stumbled on Gunblast.com this evening and read your
commentary on why Obama is good. I agree completely and want
to thank you for your story. We as conservatives need to embrace
this and capitalize on the moment to restructure our government and its
way of doing business.
This site is going to my favorites list!!!!
Thanks,
Curtis
July 13, 2010
Thank you, Curtis, for your kind remarks. If all
of us conservatives stick together, then we will see a change in America
that is positive. “Change” should be our new mantra again, but
change from Obama policies, from liberal spending, from socialist
viewpoints, replaced with change to conservatism, patriotism, and a focus
on becoming the nation that lives as the republic established through our
Constitution. Change is coming; we can insure that November reflects
the kind of government that Americans want.
Thanks for being a new Gunblast.com reader.
Greg
What a great site, lots of information on many things. I
was very interested in the Ruger SR-22

you on a great site.

I've owned several (5) Ruger
Mini-14 Ranch Rifles following the ownership of a custom built
heavy barrel DPMS AR. It is exactly as you say in your article.
I now own a Mini-14T which
lives up to the expectations that you stated as well. My groups at
100 yards are sub 0.5 MOA with reloaded ammo. It's a wonderful rifle
to own and rivals the performance of the previous DPMS AR.

Dear Jeff Quinn,
A couple of hours ago I was looking through a small local newspaper and saw a
Taurus Judge 410/45 LC for sale and since I've not been involved with firearms for some time due to a divorce that allowed me to walk away with only my life I was quite intrigued with what was
advertised. I used to be involved with deer and elk hunting years ago when my sons were quite young but after their mother took them (and their sister) I just kinda gave up on everything. Used to own a S&W 357 and a 410/45 LC Derringer made by the Texas Derringer Co. but lost these as well.
All that to say I typed in Taurus Judge at Google and your website came up, and just as I'm
grateful that God forgave me because of His son's sacrificial work on the cross, I'm also
grateful for what you stand for and how our Lord is using you in the fashion that He is. With all of the accomplishments that you've achieved coupled with the integrity that seems to run through your words I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!!! As a photographer since the late 70's early 80's and former owner of a photography studio I also am very impressed with the very high quality photographs that Boge and yourself have put on your website. The few articles that I read dovetailed with the images in quality and professionalism.
Moreover your involvement in the body of Christ as a minister by proclaiming the truth in God's Word and the giving of your life to young people is something I'm unable to comment on due to the lack of words necessary to express how thankful I am for that as well as I'm sure the parents of these kids feel also.
Needless to say at this present time I live in a concrete and metal environment called the city, in a suburb of Portland, Oregon and at 60 years of age and possibility in the summer of my years I do pray that that will change. As a matter of fact my wife and I have contemplated moving to your neck of the woods, believe it or not.
I apologize for bleeding to much so I'll briefly get back to Gunblast. com for a moment before I close, ok? The revolver that I saw advertised has a 6 1/2 in. barrel and on your website the 410/45 LC appeared to have a shorter barrel length, is that correct? God Bless you in your endeavors and I do hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Richard
March 16, 2010
Thank you, Sir, for the kind words. We would like to use even
higher-resolution images, but many people are still on slow connections, so we keep the pictures at a lower resolution, so that the pages load faster. The Judge comes also in a two-inch and a three-inch barrel version. I prefer the shorter barrels, myself.
Jeff
I just wanted to say that, though I may not agree with all of your postings, I commend you greatly on the fact that you can state how you feel with confidence. I respect someone that can do this and obviously show that they have spent time either researching or already have knowledge of what they are speaking about.
What brought me here was an article about the Bersa Thunder
.380. I have owned mine for about two years and couldn't imagine living without it. I agree with your review and can only say that this pistol is one of the best I have found for concealed carry. I own the mini 9MM as well, but the Thunder is what I carry every day. My 40 cals are just too heavy and the mini 9MM just feels so bulky in comparison. As far as both Bersa pistols are concerned though, I have been extremely happy with their performance. When you factor in the price, they are absolutely incredible!
Great website. please keep posting!

Thanks Greg, for another "Right On" in your opinion of the Obama health care
disaster. I feel that most folks are feeling, this is a run away train and it cant be stopped, as I do. I see this country going literally to hell sometimes.
I'm 62 years old fought in Vietnam, raised 9 kids, have 16 grand children and I see a dismal future for them in this life. Will we wake up, or is this a sign the lord is getting ready to pass his judgment on this country for all its sins?------- thanks again--- keep them

Hi Tom. First, I would like to say a big "thank you" for your service to our great country. Secondly, another thanks for being a loyal Gunblast. com reader. You are among almost one million readers monthly who make Gunblast. com the number one resource, online or in print, for reviews of guns and related products.
The Obama healthcare plan is a huge disaster. I am very thankful for those politicians who had enough integrity to stand up and say "enough is enough" and refuse to let this thing be railroaded through. Unfortunately, there is not enough of them. Most of our members of Congress are more concerned over personal gain or staying in office than they are truly representing the people and what is best for America. Those that are hearing what America is saying about this healthcare bill need to be applauded. Those that are trying to find a way to fleece the citizens of our nation should be ashamed, and voted out of office come November. In the meantime, all of us need to take a stand and let our Senators and Representatives know that this healthcare bill is not good for our country, and we want no part of it.
Thanks for your comments. God bless America.
Greg
I've read the press from Para
Ordnance, and am very much interested in purchasing this pistol. I've always liked the 1911 Colt, ever since I fired my friend's sporterized version. Your review answered all my questions (especially about how well constructed this pistol is), what loads you prefer, and how enjoyable it is to shoot. As a bonus, your choice of
"In Walked Bud" on guitar as the soundtrack was right fine! And the cardinal singing while you spoke your piece was calling me back to
Warm Springs, Virginia or Pisgah Falls, North Carolina to visit my folks. I'll no doubt view some of your other reviews and come back and visit your web site often. Take care!

Dave
March 2, 2010
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the feedback. You are correct. It is not just our President, but the attitude of the majority of Congress, that have caused such a mess. Obama shouldn't surprise any of us, as he is doing exactly what we thought he would do upon being elected to the highest office in the land. I admire him for his accomplishments, but I cannot appreciate anything he represents politically. But he is not the problem; the problem is the entire Democratic political machine that put him in office. And, unfortunately, most of the Republicans are not much better. We need people in Congress that support individual rights, that support the rights of the states, that understand the intent of the founders of our nation, that support the Constitution instead of constantly trying to change it, that act with morality and integrity, and that support the voters who elected them. We need men and women in the House and Senate that will not try to kill our Second Amendment rights. We need people who can help put our government back on Biblically-based truths of right and wrong, that understand the right to life, and that will not sacrifice our nation for personal greed. This whole healthcare issue is a good case in point, as is the Tea Party movement. Why is Congress and our President considering a healthcare bill that will bankrupt our nation and is something that doesn't represent the intent of the people? Would we have a need for a Tea Party revolution within our nation if our people were not so fed up with the dishonesty and incompetence of our elected officials? We do need to band together to make a difference. This is not an issue of Democrat versus Republican. This is not an issue of Barack Obama and whether we like him or not. This is an issue of the rights of the citizens of the United States of America, and the rights of the States as supported in our Constitution. Hopefully, working together, we can help people see the light and make necessary changes now to prevent bigger problems down the road. The "change" that President Obama promised is truly bad. We need change for the better. Hopefully before November's elections, but certainly we have an opportunity at that time. Let's get the word out. Let's take America back! We appreciate your readership and comments.
Greg
Dear Jeff,
I would like to start off by saying that I have watched tons of your videos on
YouTube. They are very interesting and educational as well. Some of your videos convinced me to purchase certain firearms , and so this is where this email comes in to play.
Jeff, my name is Jordan; I was born and raised in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and remain there today, I'm 20 years old and a war veteran of the USMC. I joined the
Marine Corps right out of high school at the age of 16. I was home schooled due to my
father's beliefs on public school and what it was pushing on all who attended it. So that's how I joined at such a young age. I have been deployed to
Iraq twice and a short tour in Afghanistan, I left early because I was wounded in action. I have seen my fair share of horrible things that no human should see. I had to put my deceased
best friend's body parts in a damn bivy sack because our company did not have any body bags. I have put my share in the war, and keeping
America as free as it is today. I was honorably discharged as a corporal of
Marines. I apologize if I'm rambling on about my past, but I feel that it is necessary for me to so you can understand what happened to me about a week and a half ago. I recently bought a
Kel Tec sub 2000. I did not buy any ammo for it because I did not have enough money on me. I took it home and I love it. Well I recently went to my local gun shop (different from the one where I bought my rifle) and asked to purchase some standard 9mm
Luger rounds. Well wouldn't you know I cannot purchase handgun ammo and why? Because
l am 20 and the store requires you to be 21 to purchase handgun ammo. Now before I tell you how absurd this is let me point out some things. For one it blows me away how you can be 18 and buy any rifle ammo which is 5 times deadlier then any pistol ammo you can buy, but have to be 21 to buy pistol ammo.
For two, how can I purchase the rifle that shoots the 9mm ammo but I cannot buy the ammo for it? I don't understand it maybe I'm crazy.
And last but certainly not least, how is it ok for someone as young as me, to go off to the
Middle East, put my life on the line for the good of the country, watch my friends die and for me to take lives as well. But its not ok for me to buy 9mm ammo because I'm "20" and not "
21"?? I try to explain this to the local gun smith but nope, still refuses to sell me ammo. Now understand this I loved my time in the
Marine Corps. It is what I wanted to do ever since I was a child and hell I fulfilled my dream Jeff.
Can you give me some insight as to why America is the way it is? And why is it so backwards now?
Jordan
February 23, 2010
Don't try to make sense of the gun laws in our nation. It will drive you crazy. It is my opinion that when you mustered out of the Marines, you should have been allowed to keep your M-16 and been issued a thousand rounds of ammo and ten magazines. However, that would make too much sense. The reason is because many of our political leaders in this country are spineless, sniveling little weasels who believe that they know what is best for everyone, and that a Marine who is no longer in active duty is a liability instead of an asset. I appreciate what you have done for our nation. Send me your address, and I will send you some 9mm ammo for that Kel-Tec.

Pistol grips; why this or that? I am guessing that each style of grip gives one kind of advantage at the expense of another advantage. I would very much appreciate your observation on the comparative advantages of each type. Assume a four inch ro six inch barrel for each and assume you could find a common cartridge for all of them with some real power like a 38+P or better.

That would be a simple task, if it were not for different hands. Look at a few dozen hands and you will understand. Thick hands with short, fat fingers, small hands, huge mitts, long fingers, all make for different style grips. Then there are different shooting styles; one hand, two hand, high grip, low grip. Like many other things in life, it just comes down to what an individual prefers.
Jeff
Hey Greg,
I just read your article labeled "Keep the change you filthy

Jeff, I am a paying member of Gunblast and a huge fan. I was a little disappointed with the new ad you have up from
Dillon Precision Products. Do they really need the big breasted girls on this ad? Seems out of character for your site. Regardless of anything being done about the ad I will continue to read and enjoy your site. Just wanted to voice a small concern.
Michael
February 9, 2010
I appreciate the feedback, but I see nothing at all wrong with the ad. Dillon Precision is a good company, and they make some fine products. We are happy to have them as a new advertiser. The girls are clothed, and seem to be well-proportioned. I do not think that the breasts are overly large, but just about right. Both of those women are very nice ladies.

Jeff,
I have been reading your reviews on-line for about a year now. After reading your review on the new
Ruger SR9c I realized I should really drop you a line to express my gratitude for the great work you guys do over at GunBlast.
I have always been a gun "aficionado" and avid supporter of the second amendment, but it was only in the past 3 years that I was able to purchase my first handgun
(full size SR9) and begin to exercise my rights as well as enjoy the fun of shooting and passing this passion onto my sons.
Being relatively new to handguns, I truly appreciate your common sense and straight forward approach to gun reviews. They are detailed enough to be valuable and basic enough for guys like me to educate myself through your efforts.
Well that is probably enough said.
Thank you again from me and my family,

Dear Gunblast staff. I just want to say how much I thoroughly enjoy your website. I first got turned on to it by my father who is also a huge fan. And while I don't share his love of political talk, we both share a love a firearms. And it goes without saying your site produces some of the absolute finest and thorough reviews I've even seen. It's easier to get an idea of what I'm dealing with through the great photos that are placed alongside your reviews. As a full time EMT & Police Officer here in Tennessee, I very much value our 2nd
Amendment rights and very much respect appreciate your responsible takes on gun ownership & preparedness. I look forward to reading your website for quite
some time and thank you all for your time and dedication to my much beloved past time.

I'd like to comment in response to Lewis who wrote that the idea of citizens using guns for protection against the US government is a silly idea. Lewis said "Tell me why I'm wrong".
I can tell him in two words: Iraq, Afghanistan.
The Islamists have a couple hundred thousand insurgents fighting with small arms and have given the worlds most powerful militaries a lot of trouble in trying to secure those countries, despite the use of virtually every advanced weapon in the US arsenal short of nuclear weapons.
Now imagine what several million armed Americans fighting on their own turf and blending into the population could do with small arms if needed. If would take a major, prolonged war effort to attempt to subdue or disarm the American people. The fact is that the majority of today's US Military service men and women, who swore an oath the defend the Constitution when they joined, would not be willing to fight a prolonged war against their own people, even if ordered to do so by a nutjob in the Whitehouse. Those US military elements or private contractors willing to do so would be far outnumbered in the face of a nationwide armed uprising. They would be facing the combined forces of the armed population together with many elements of the military who would rise in defense of the people. It is the regime that would fall as a result, not the armed citizens, and this is why the 2nd Amendment helps insure that no government will ever succeed in suppressing our democracy by force, as long as we are armed.

Jeff,
Thank you for your fine website, and straight-up, to the point reviews. I read your review on the
Diamondback .380, and the FN Five-Seven
pistol, and came away impressed; so much that I purchased my own Diamondback Firearms DB380, and FN Five-Seven. After shooting both of them, I came away from the range that day very impressed, especially since both of those firearms measured up to what you said about them in your review. I want to thank you for your hard work, and dedication to "keeping it real" when reviewing firearms. Keep up the good work!
Thank You,

I picked up my STAG model 8 last week and I have to say I am very impressed. I have been shooting AR's for 10
plus years now (Military/Law Enforcement) and I am very pleased with the performance of this weapon especially with the cost being so low. I have an EOtech 511
single red dot optic mounted and a "grippod" that I have added. The collapsible stock and shortened barrel of
16" allows this rifle fit easily into my patrol car with ease as opposed to my previous
department issued Colt without a collapsible stock and a full length barrel.
I was also a bit hesitant about buying the piston model as I have relied on the DI system for years. The piston system cut the post-range cleaning time down
dramatically. Needless to say I am very pleased with my purchase and thank you again for your review

Your Grayman review was, by far, the best, most compelling knife review I have read, and I have read a few.
Thank you for your commitment to provide clear, concise, reviews.
Scott

Thank you, Sir. Grayman makes a good product, and although I usually do not do knife reviews, I think that getting the word out about his knives was deserving of a review.
Jeff
Jeff, Do you ever publish a negative review? Do you like all the guns you test or do you simply not wright up the lemons?
Thanks,

I try to make it a practice to not spend my time with any junk, but if there is a problem, I always report it. Always. I am working on a review today in which I had to send the gun back for repair. That info will be in the review. I was the first out with a report on the then-new S&W 500 magnum. The first guns to leave the factory had problems. I reported it. No other writer did, and I know of several who had the same problem that mine did. Still, if a gun works as intended, is accurate, and functions reliably, that is what I report. If there are any failures, I report them.
Jeff
I have been reading Gunblast for a couple years now. For about two years I just read your reviews on the latest guns that were out. But recently I visit your site more often to read about politics. I personally agree with
a lot of your views, Jeff. I appreciate the fact that you will let your readers with different views post questions and comments on your site. While I consider myself more of a Republican than Democrat; I also consider myself neither. I've had it with both parties.
On to my question; What is your stance on the gun show loophole? I am all for gun rights and upholding the 2nd Amendment, but in order to do that I think we as responsible gun owners should do everything in our power to keep guns off the streets. I think everybody should have to go through the same background check that I have to go through
every time I buy a handgun or rifle. I think that getting rid of this loophole (that does not require a background check if you purchase a gun at a gun show) would actually help our gun rights. What is your opinion on this Jeff?
Thank you for all your great work Jeff and everyone else at Gunblast. com.
Sincerely,
Kendal

The "gun show loophole" is false. It is propaganda put out by the
anti-gunners. I attend lots of gun shows. Dealers at gun shows have to run background checks on gun purchasers just like they do when selling from their gun stores. I have bought lots of guns at gun shows, and always have to fill out paperwork on the gun, and wait for a background check, unless I am buying a gun from an individual
who is not a gun dealer. In that situation, it is perfectly legal for a citizen to purchase a gun from another citizen.
Jeff
I am a gun owner, and active shooter, and while I don't hunt, I don't carry a grudge against those who do. The NRA however is beyond my scope of comprehension. I for one, am in favor of gun education and licensing for owners of fire arms. To me it is just like an automobile license. However if you share that idea with a NRA guy - he will go ballistic!
These people who support the NRA are laboring under a strong misconception. The argument seems to be that an armed public is a protection against the government. That is just plain silly and I will tell you why. These people actually think that America could fall victim to a Hitler. This idea is central to the hysterical reactions from the NRA when anyone proposes anything common sense in terms of gun legislation. Well Pardner, let me introduce you to item number one that blows that simple minded red neck argument into pieces.
The Lockheed AC-130 gunship is a heavily-armed ground-attack aircraft. The gunship's sole user is the United States Air Force, which uses AC-130H Spectre and AC-130U Spooky variants. The AC-130 is powered by four turboprops and has an armament ranging from 20 mm Gatling guns to
105 mm howitzers.
In other words, a bunch of hill billies with AR-15's , hiding in the woods ready to take on the government will in short seconds be hamburger meat. Compliments of the AC 130. 20 mm Gatling guns? This plane can take out a forest, much less the would be patriots hiding therein.
The US Air Force uses the AC-130 gunships for close air support, air interdiction, and force protection. Close air support roles include supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and flying urban operations.
Get that last part? "flying urban operations" - yup, that's right urban operations.
So the entire idea that we the people could in some way mount any kind of attack or defense against the Government is just plain stupid. We will not have another civil war. Period. The fighting is over in terms of fighting the US Government with weapons. Certainly not in any sustained manner..... terrorist like Tim McVeigh, sure, there are nuts out there, but that's about it.
Tell me why I am wrong?
My Guns:
12 gauge coach gun. .40 S&W .357 Taurus
20 Gauge Remington Featherweight .44 Ruger Old Army
(2) .22 S&W pistols -- all early model 422's
I probably left something out. I own guns for target practice, my hobby, and for home protection from criminals not the Government!
I also live in Texas where we have armed militia that live in guarded compounds!!!!!! Those folks are seriously deranged.
Lewis
December 25, 2009
Deranged or not, that is their right, if they want to live that way. Me, I am content living where I live. I certainly hope that we never come to the point that we have to stand armed against our government. However, that is the very reason that the Second Amendment to the Constitution was placed there. It guarantees the right of citizens to be armed. It has nothing to do with deer hunting, or even self defense against punks. The sole purpose of that part of our Constitution is there to protect the citizenry from tyranny. Whether or not we would stand a chance has nothing to do with it. The Constitution does not guarantee a right to drive an automobile, so that argument is irrelevant. The Federal government has no right to "license" me to
exercise any of my enumerated rights. They are guaranteed by our precious Constitution, but given by God. To many in our government, the Constitution is merely an aggravation that prevents them from trampling on the rights of the citizenry. Thank God that the founders of our nation, and the citizens of that time, insisted upon that Bill of Rights.
Jeff
To which I would add: Lewis, your belief is that, if
one is seriously outgunned, then one should just roll over and accept
tyranny? I'm glad that attitude was not the prevailing one throughout
history.

Jeff, This response is about your Ruger SR-556
Review. I've never provided feedback on any gun review in my life, but I felt that I needed to this time.
Reading through, your article didn't sit well with me but I couldn't put my finger on it until the end. I'll put a couple of your sentences and respond.
"I am expected by some readers to be impartial, and to an extent, I
am." As a gun reviewer you are always expected to be impartial! What readers do you have that would want you to be biased? Then, to make it even worse, you admit that you are only impartial "to an extent". My trust in you went out the window upon reading this. If I'm going to drop $1500 on a rifle, based on your review, I sure as heck better trust you.
"However, while the market is flush with excellent AR style rifles, I am really excited about this one. I don't know exactly why, I just
am." You just wrote a gun review. If you are really excited, you sure as heck better have a reason. If you do an entire article and then sum it up with you recommending the rifle and then saying that you "don't know exactly why" there is a serious problem.
This review does not approach the level of unbiased reporting that gun buyers deserve.

Perhaps you should read somewhere else. In my review, I was being absolutely honest. I report the
facts, the details, and the accuracy of a firearm. However, am I not allowed to like a firearm? I am still human, and have preferences, just like everyone else. Perhaps that is my problem. I still like guns, and I love this job. I can't help it. Many gun writers do not like guns. They would be as happy writing about anything else. This is apparent when I go to shooting events hosted for writers. Many of them just sit on the bus and drink coffee, never even picking up a gun. Me, I shoot all that I can. It is still exciting for me. I love guns. Tell me of any other website or paper magazine that gives info straight to the reader like we do? I try to provide a detailed description, have around 30 to 40 good pictures, and a video when possible. I list all of the facts, but I also sometimes throw in my opinion. I never write a review from a press release. I have to hold the weapon, shoot it, and take it apart to look inside. At the end, the review is just my personal evaluation of the subject at hand. It is not perfect, does not cover every possible detail, but is always an honest hands-on review. If that doesn't sit well with you, do not read it.
Jeff
I have looked at a lot of gun reviews over the years and have to tell you that you do a wonderful job! No fluff and worthless info; just good solid usable information presented in an enjoyable format.
Thank you

Jeff, Just finished reading your article "The End of an Era: The Last of the Winchester Model
94" from Jan 18, 2006. I've read it at least a dozen times over the past two or three years, but I always come back to it. It is the single best written article I have read on the subject of the death of the '94. The entire article mirrors my feelings on the subject and articulates those feelings in a way that I never could. Looking at your photo's, one would never know there was so much depth there. Thanks for that article. It is such a pleasure to read, over and over...
Shane
December 18, 2009
Thank you, Sir. I am glad that you liked it. For 2010, Winchester is bringing back a limited production Model 94, made by Miroku in Japan.
Jeff
Jeff- I've had your web site bookmarked for a long time, and have taken sanctuary there many times. It's good to find people who are honest, direct, and capable of seeing through the smoke created by those that rely on deception and self-service. I thank you and the others for your work. I served a term in RVN with the army, and nearly four decades in law enforcement (Southern California); with 13 years on a SWAT team. When a host of injuries finally ended my active career I became a police psychologist. I now live in Alaska (where my range runs from my shop for as far as my eyes can see. I don't know if that's a commentary on my eyes or where I live). I have loved to shoot my entire life, and reload as well. By working part time for the local police department I get all the ammo I can reasonably shoot (and all the brass) and well-discounted prices on firearms. I also write professionally.
For my entire life I have served to be honest, ethical, patriotic, and given to doing "the right thing." In the military I swore to several different oaths (as assignments became more selective and secretive), as I did for for my work with different law enforcement agencies. If I take an oath that invokes the personage of God, it has significant meaning to me. I never took an "anti-oath" that released me from what I had earlier bound myself to. And in each of those
oaths, I promised to "protect and defend the constitution of the United States ... from all enemies, foreign and domestic." I never had a problem with the foreign ones. They didn't look like me and shot at me a lot. It's the domestic ones that are starting to really concern me. When people discuss the Second Amendment and try to invent meanings not intended by our founding fathers, they carefully side-step the Federalist Papers. There it's made abundantly clear that the general citizenry of our country is to be armed to, among other things, take back this nation from those who would have it be something other than what was originally intended.
The thought of what that means makes my blood run cold. But I also know that I have promised to do what each of those oaths have asked of me. I have a feeling you may have given this situation, or something similar to it, more than just some passing thought. With what I think may be your religious/spiritual beliefs, coupled with your political orientation, I'm hoping I may get a little perspective on what is concerning me. If you think this is something you need to stay away from, I'll understand. Thanks all the same for what you're putting out on the net.
With greatest regards,
Paul

I believe that a fight is coming. Too many people, however, have no concern at all for what those in our government are doing. As long as their houses are warm and their bellies full, they give little thought for liberty or of the great price paid for it.
Jeff
Jeff: I like your site. You have some good humour mixed in with your observations. My feedback is actually short. I was wondering if this statement: "For any one specific task, I can think of another gun that can do the job better than the
Judge."
was that what you intended or should it contain the word "not" in it??: For any one specific task, I can NOT think of another gun that can do the job better than the Judge.
It's in the ultra-lite article!
Thanks for your time!
Don
December 12, 2009
No, the statement is correct as printed. For instance, when a shotgun is needed, a full-length shotgun is better than the Judge. When a .45 Colt revolver is needed, a Blackhawk or Mountain Gun is better than the Judge. For a compact trail gun, a good .22 revolver is best. However, the Judge does quite well in all of these roles. Its versatility is its strong point. While there are several guns that can do any one of those tasks better, the Judge is versatile enough to do it all.
Jeff
I just wanted to drop you a note and say a big thanks to you and
Gunblast.. I had received a Ruger SA revolver from my wife's grandfather after he passed away.
Unfortunately it was missing the cylinder, and I had no idea what it was until I ran across
Bill Hamm's article on the Bearcat .His article was a veritable "one stop shop"
for all of the information I was looking for. It turns out I have a excellent condition "alphabet" Q9xx manufactured and shipped in July 59 with an original
Bucheimer tooled leather holster and cartridge belt from the same era.
I also am now singing the praises of Ruger firearms. I shipped it to the service department and they had the original cylinder in stock.
They installed the cylinder and the safety conversion, and shipped the pistol back with all of the original parts for no charge.
Again, thank you for the great work.
God bless.
Sean
December 3, 2009
Thank you, Sean, for those kind words. Glad we could help. Bill Hamm is a walking enclopedia of Ruger information. That is a dandy little revolver that you have there, and nobody does customer service like Ruger does.
