Just curious if and how you folks CCW with Ruger's new 45 Auto (P-345) and get some feedback on this pistol. Just purchased a new KP-345PR and am considering buying a smaller 45 semi-auto to carry during the summer - or - using a compact 9mm during the summer and the P-345 in the winter...

Not sure as to what self defense ammo is best for a 3 1/4" barreled 45 ACP revolver. I've been considering 230-gr. +P rounds like those from Ranger T @ 990 fps (4" barrel) or Double Taps 230-gr. +P @ 1,010 fps (4" barrel). Question: Do you feel that +P 45 ammo needs longer barrels to burn...

Has anyone handled or fired Hi-Point's C-9 9mm Compact? If so, please provide feedback on this pistol that retails for about $129.00.

Subject says it all. When recommending something, could you please keep the following questions in mind: * What about reliability to shoot all 9mm factory ammo with no problems? * Any quirks, negatives, or good / bad features to be aware of? * How does your suggestion compare to a Glock...

Bullet construction and weight (i.e. choice of ammo) are more important than caliber! Either the 9mm, 40 S&W, or 45 ACP will be fine for self defense - given the right bullet. Choose the weapon that fits you best and as far as caliber is concerned, they generally perform the same as far as...

I do a lot of range work with many calibers and would like to ask you experts what 9mm Glock is the best for continuous target practice? Recoil is of no concern, but having a good trigger is. How does the 17L compare to the 34 and which is best?

Here's some objective data: After firing thousands of rounds into testing media, Winchester's latest Ranger LE Catalog shows the following data on 9mm Ranger T's in 147-gr. and 127-gr. +P+ (page 19): Quote: Gelatin 147-gr. = 13.9 / .65 127-gr. = 12.3 / .64 4-Ply Denim 147-gr. = 14.5 / .66...

Would like to go with the majority's opinion of what is the best self defense (SD) ammo out there for a Ruger Security Six with 4" barrel in 357 Mag? Pistol is used for SD inside the home (mainly by my wife and 18-year old son) and there's also a G-17 9mm in another location and a shotgun. Wife...

Just wanted to ask you experts as to what brand or style of bench rest device you recommend under $150? Do a lot of 100 and 200 meter target shooting with .308 caliber bullets. Thank-you in advance of your advice! Steve

Ballistic Tips (BT's) were designed by Nosler for violent expansion / explosion and medium penetration on light skin type animals like deer. For most calibers shooting BT's, you're better off using heavier projectiles with bigger Sectional Density's (SD's) than you would normally use for a...

Whenever a bullet strikes your intended target - like deer - if carefully observed, (9 times out of 10) its reaction will tell you if you hit your mark or not. Heart or Lung Shot Upon being hit in the heart or lung area, most deer will usually jump or bound forward - kicking out with their...

I love Nosler's AccuBond, which I believe is a one of the best all-around bullets there are to choose from. For starters, the AccuBond is a Ballistic Efficient round with an aerodynamic BC of .509 - enabling more downrange energy on target. Example: When comparing a bullet's energy in a...

Besides shoulder shots, EXACTLY where do you put the crosshairs when shooting elk when they're broadside? Have a 30-06.

I have a 30-06 and don't reload, but want to try some factory Barnes (TSX) Triple Shock rounds for elk for penetration of the shoulder to anchor the animal immediately. Do you recommend 165-gr. or 180-gr. for elk and what factory source is best for the Barnes bullet? Steve P.S. Besides...

Just curious as to your opinion on the overall quality of Remington's 7400 semi-auto rifle - particularly in 30-06? Does the action function reliably or jam once in a while? Are there any extra maintenance issues involved? Is the accuracy suffient up to 250 yards? Other good / bad points...
