Firearm Forum Question: G2 Research 45 ACP, R.I.P. Ammunition Recall

Ask A Firearms Question:
At the gun range the other day when a discussion came up about RIP 45 acp ammo and Glocks. What is going on? 
Thank you I Carry A Gun.

G2 Research Inc, 45 ACP R.I.P. Ammo ....

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
Yes this Ammunition (ammo) is on immediate Limited Recall.
R.I.P. 45 acp in manufactured by G2 Research Inc. and apparently has issues when shot through any Glock 45 acp caliber handgun.
See photos above.

This RECALL was issued by G2 on December 3, 2014 as a post on their Facebook Page. The ammo in question from G2 Research was manufactured between July 1, 2014 and November 30, 2014. If you have any G2 Ammo in 45acp check the dates on the inside of the ammo box. G2 Research is marketing this as a Limited Recall because G2 claims it only affects Glocks in 45 ACP Caliber.
This Ammo Recall for G2 Research, R.I.P. 45 ACP Ammunition could cause 'Excessive Chamber Pressure' in all Glocks manufactured for 45 acp caliber.
Non Legalize this simply means that if you shoot this 45 ACP Caliber Ammo in any Glock your gun could go Kaboom (blow up in your face).

Commentary -

A Glock Handgun is one of the finest most durable handguns made in the world today. Glocks are carried by Law Enforcement and Military around the world. For any ammo to affect a Glock is a sure warning NOT to purchase from that manufacturer. It is always better to err on the side of caution.
Further G2 has shown arrogance in issuing this Recall Notice on Facebook. They assume every gun owner has a Facebook Page, and that is not only arrogant it is out right poor judgement.

==> My recommendation on ALL G2 Research Ammo is -
a NO BUY.

Firearm Forum Question: Sporting Arms Snake Charmer II Single Barrel 410 Shotgun

Ask A Firearms Question:
Have you ever fired the Sporting Arms Snake Charmer II Single Barrel 410 Shotgun, I just inherited one, or can you tell me something about it? 
Thank you Doug Forman.

Snake Charmer II Single Barrel 410 Shotgun by Sporting Arms:
This was the company's official address and home number.
Sporting Arms is out of business ...

Original Snake Charmer ....

The Snake Charmer II ....

My Snake Charmer II ....

Answer:

Blog Administrator -
I own one of these, and this is my personal product review and comments.
The company is out of business.
Parts are hard to find.
There were several models to this firearm. The preferred Model to own is the Snake Charmer II.

Below is me shooting my Snake Charmer II with 410 Gauge, 2 1/2 Inch Shot Shells, #6.

I have also included two Youtube Videos below.

This short lightweight shotgun is perfect for carrying around in your truck or jeep and for walking in the desert or woods. It will kill snakes as advertised. It is also a great starter hunting shotgun for children because it has a short stock.
The downside is they are no longer made and if the shotgun needs repair you are probably out of luck.

I rate the Snake Charmer II as a .... BUY with what it was intended for only.

Firearm Forum Question: What about Coating Bullets?

Ask A Firearms Question:
Saw the Post on Buffing Bullets.
What about Dipping (coating) a Bullet, can you elaborate on this?
Thank you Louie Louie Vinchenso.

Apply desired coating substance to the bullet portion only .....

Federal Nyclad Coated Ammo Bullets ...

45 ACP Teflon Coated Ammo Bullets ...

Answer:

Blog Administrator -
There are two very distinctive parts or definitions to coating a bullet.

Definition Part 1, 
The so-called method of coating or dipping a bullet refers to simply rubbing on, or dipping the bullet portion of the cartridge into some type of substance.
Some people use a Cotton Q-tip as an applicator to apply the substance.

See the List below for some examples of what people have used over the last hundred years:

1) Rubbing the Bullet with a Poison (such as a pesticide, prior to ban DDT was the favored, now it's rat poison)
2) Rubbing the Bullet with Snake Venom (such as rattlesnake, cotton mouth, copperhead, 
     cobra, etc.)
3) Rubbing the Bullet with Feces (human, pigeon, animal such as a cat or dog)
4) Rubbing the Bullet with Pigs Fat (this practice is to insult those of the Islamic faith) 

The concept is simple.
If the bullet doesn't kill it's target the victim will die from poisoning.
The exception is the Pigs Fat, this is meant to offend Islam or Jewish religious people because eating Pork (pig) is taboo in their respective religions. I know people that coat their personal carry handguns with Pigs Fat. They started doing this after the U.S. 911 attacks.

Important: If you elect to do something like this, leave the bullet standing up to dry out for at least an hour before putting it in the gun.

Caution: This could backfire onto the user. If the poisonous substance were to rub off and get into the pours of your skin, a cut or abrasion, or into your eyes the effect could be devasting to the gun user. Also applying anything to a bullet could potentially damage the firearm.
Make sure you wear a latex or rubber hand glove, or use a cotton squab such as Q-tip.
Also the heat from a bullet may just burn the substance applied off.

Definition Part 2,
1) Federal Ammunition once offered Nyclad (nylon polymer) coated bullets. The concept was to reduce lead in the environment.
2) Another method is to apply a powder coating to the bullet, and heat it in something like a toaster oven.
Warning - this is for re-loaders only, the bullet is being coated prior to heating in an oven, a full cartridge would explode if heated.
3) Some manufactures use to make Teflon Coated Ammo but discontinued this when they realized Teflon Bullets could penetrate Body Armor. This ammo can still be found at Gun Shows or through private sellers.

Firearm Forum Question: Winchester Lever Action Rifles, Product Warning Notice

Ask A Firearms Question:
Is there a Product Recall on the Winchester Model 94 Lever Action Rifle? I have heard there is, and then heard there is no recall. I recently purchased a used Model 94, 30-30 Caliber Lever Action Rifle for Hunting, and I am reluctant to now use it?
Thank you Tony Rasman.

Winchester Model 1894 Carbine Lever Action 30-30 Caliber Rifle:

Answer:

Blog Administrator -
This is a nebulas area. Winchester claims it is not an official 'Recall Notice' but rather a 'Product Warning for Gun Owners', this is per Winchester's website. The entire 'Product Warning Notice is posted below along with the LINK to Winchester Firearms Page.

Note: Some of the Models noted below are Bolt Action Rifles.

Personally, if you own one of these Winchester Rifles listed below, I would have it checked out by a qualified Gunsmith, preferably one that specializes in Winchester Firearms Products.

PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE - WARNING, Dated October 2, 2014

News Headline

WINCHESTER 94: PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE - WARNING 

News Publishing Date: 10/2/2014

WINCHESTER® Model 94 Family of Lever-Action Rifles, Carbines, and Muskets with Half-Cock Safety.

Winchester Model 94 (including commemoratives); Winchester Model 1894; Winchester Model 9422 and Model 9422M; Winchester Model 55 Sears®, Model 54, and Ted Williams® Model 100; Winchester Model 64 and 64A; Winchester Centennial ’66; and Winchester Canadian Centennial ‘67.

The Olin Corporation, through its Winchester Division, is warning users of the above firearms that when there is a live cartridge in the chamber, dropping, jarring or bumping the firearm may cause an accidental discharge, which may result in property damage, serious personal injury or death to the user or others:

With the hammer in the full-down position, a slight impact to, or bumping the hammer can cause a discharge.

With the hammer in the half-cock safety position, a hard impact to the hammer, such as from dropping the firearm, can break the safety mechanism and cause a discharge.

With the hammer in any position, a hard impact, such as from dropping or jarring the firearm, can cause a discharge, even if the hammer is not impacted.

To reduce the risk of accidental discharge, follow safe firearm handling practices, including:

Always maintain control of the firearm and keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction at all times.

Never place the hammer in the full-down position when there is a live cartridge in the chamber.

Never rely on the half-cock safety to prevent accidental discharge due to dropping or jarring the firearm, or hard impacts to the hammer.

When there is a live cartridge in the chamber, avoid activities that increase the risk of dropping or jarring the rifle, such as running, climbing, crossing a fence, and taking the firearm up and down from a tree stand.

This is not an ammunition or firearm recall.

Firearm Forum Question: 12 Gauge versus 20 Gauge Shotguns

Ask A Firearms Question:
I just bought a Mossberg 20-Gauge Persuader Shotgun, which shotgun is best a 12 Gauge or 20 Gauge?
Thank you John Lowney.

Here are some Mossberg Home Defense / Tactical Shotguns:

Answer:

Blog Administrator -
To determine what is the best shot shell diameter size that is best for you (most common are the 410-Gauge; 20-Gauge; and 12-Gauge) the end use drives the final decision. Shotguns are used for sport (Trap and Skeet, or Hunting), and for Home Defense. Some people elect to use a Shotgun for both purposes. To be used for both purposes they need to be full size, not shorten as you may find in a Self Defense Tactical style Shotgun.
A Shotgun may also be used for Cowboy Shooting these are generally double barrel coach style shotguns. They maybe with or without hammers. They may also be lever action shotguns.
Also note there are two other gauges: a 10-Gauge and a 16-Gauge.
The next consideration is who will use the shotgun. Children under the age of 15 and women with small frames will find the 410-Gauge quite accommodating for hunting. Adult women generally prefer the 20-Gauge for either Hunting or Tactical / Home Defense because the 20-gauge has less recoil. Adult men generally prefer the 12-gauge for all uses.
Next thing to look at is the shot shell length capacity. A shotgun chambered that can handle 3-inch shells can shoot 3-inch, 2 3/4-inch, and 2 1/2-inch shells. In other words you can go down in length but not up, i.e. a shotgun chambered for 2 3/4-inch shotgun shells cannot handle a 3-inch shell.
Capacity is the next thing to consider. Semi-auto and Pump Shotguns will hold the most rounds. Double Barrel and Over/Under Shotguns handle 2-rounds only. Single Barrel (common in 410-gauge and 20-gauge) hold one round.
Cost may be a factor as well both in ammo and firearm. Shotguns do NOT have to be expensive to work well. I have owned Stevens/Savage, Mossberg, Remington, Ithaca, Winchester, and Saiga Shotguns.
Generally 12-Gauge Shotgun Shells are less expensive than any of the others. Again brand doesn't play a really big part in standard shot size. I have used everything on the market at one time or another. 12-Gauge and sometimes 20-Gauge can be bought in bulk keeping the per unit cost down.
Some people for home defense like the Pump Shotgun, they say if an intruder hears the pump action it will frighten the Intruder/Burglar away. Personally I think that is a bunch of bunk simply because in the middle of the night you are sleeping and don't want to think about trying to pump a round into the shotgun that should all ready be loaded and ready to fire.
The most common question I get is 'What Shot Shell Size (load number) should I use for Home Defense?'
All my shotguns are loaded with #6 Shot, this works the best for Home Defense. It has lethal impact and a good spread that covers the entire doorway or window where an intruder would be coming through.

=> To answer your question, again who is going to use this Shotgun only you, or others in the house such as your wife. If others are possible users the 20-Guage probably is the better choice. But in either case both will work.
