After considering many small guns for CC and shooting several rented guns on a range, I found a good deal on a Ruger SR40c and bought it even though I had some concerns about the recoil. But I enjoyed shooting the SR9c which is identical except for the caliber. I have an MP40FS and the only .40 I tried was the MP40c which I did not like because of the recoil. I first field stripped the SR40c and cleaned it up - a very easy job. Then I took both the new gun and my old MP40FS to the range. I had some year-old Federal defensive ammo (both 180 and 155 JHP) to shoot up. I used several 8"x11" targets I printed up, placing two at a time on a cardboard backing at 25 ft on the indoor range. I fired 7 rounds each at one target pair and 8 rounds at several other pairs of targets using up the old ammo and then firing 32 rounds of fresh Georgia Arms 165 JHP. Muzzle energy was 400 ft lb for the 180 JHP and 440 ft lb for the lighter rounds. On each pair of targets I fired the MP40 first... [Read More]

Colorado School of Mines Concealed Carry |

The court proceeding started at University of Colorado but because we are right down the road I think we mimic them on several policies. Anyway, made me happy to see this email today.
"Dear Campus Community:
Earlier this week, the Colorado Supreme Court issued its ruling in the Regents of the University of Colorado v. Students for Concealed Carry on Campus case, affirming the right of individuals who have appropriate permits to carry concealed handguns on CU’s campuses. The court held that the General Assembly intended, through the Concealed Carry Act, to divest the Board of Regents of its authority to regulate concealed handgun possession on campus.
As a result of this ruling, Colorado School of Mines has modified its Firearms, Explosives and other Weapons policy. Individuals who possess valid concealed carry permits may lawfully carry their concealed handguns on the Colorado School of Mines campus, subject to the conditions... [Read More]

Magnum's Guns And Ammo - Cloudcroft |

Living in Cloudcroft, I drive by the Mountaintop Mercantile nearly everyday and for a while they had a banner announcing that the opening for "Magnum's Guns And Ammo" was coming soon. Something jarred my mind today on my drive home, perhaps it was my itching to buy a new pistol or perhaps I just noticed the banner was missing. Either way, it gave me enough motivation to call them up.
I talked with a guy there, he informed me of some of what they're about and have. He said they currently have over 200 guns in stock, carry lots of other ammo and accessories too. Their FFL Transfer fees are only $25 (compared to Dave's Guns at $100; but higher than another local FFL who shall rename nameless but never returned my calls before my last purchase). I asked for a price quote on a few guns and they are VERY competitive to prices I'd be able to get things for online, and seemed to be better prices than some other local stores that I've called.
They are open... [Read More]
