I've recently caught the 1911 bug. These guns are great. I'd like to get either a springfield loaded model or a kimber custom classic. Not something really expensive, but something that will be good to start my 1911 collection. I don't really want to spend more than 700 bucks on one, so...

In your opinion, what do you think is your favorite (or best) 9mm semi-auto for the range? Also, just for grins, what's the best (or favorite) 9mm pistol for idpa?

Hey all. I recently became the proud owner of a Glock 17. After reading about the kaboom thing , I just want to make sure that I don't put any lead bullets through the firearm. Ok, here comes the stupid question. I have been putting mostly PMC, Remington, And Winchester white box ammo (all...

After doing some research and shooting, I've decided on getting a .45 for home defense. I really like the HK USP .45 and the glock 30. I've shot both, like both, but can't afford both (at least not yet) ;) . I wanted to conduct an opinion poll (about which one to choose) based on the...

I am interested in getting a one of the mini-glocks (model 26, 27, 36) for discreet carry when I am hiking. I doubt that I'll be running into to many bears, and if I do I'll throw him my lunch and run. I'm mostly concerned about moutain lions and other wild cats that I usally run into. I'd...

The 9mm round seems to be a good choice for a "all around" shooters gun. It offers decent personal/home protection, is inexpensive to shoot, and it makes a significant enough "bang!" when the trigger is pulled to provide the evil smile of enjoyment. I have been shooting 9mm for awhile through...

I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out which .357 mag to get for home defense. I have been researching through old and new posts about revolvers for home defense. I've posted quite a few questions in the past, but still have not been able to make up my mind confidently about a...

I am looking for a 2"-3" (3" preferred) well made and reliable revolver that would serve as a primary home defense gun. .357 mag or .38 special is preferred. Price is not a concern, but something that will always go bang reliably is! This gun will be used by both myself and my significant...

I need to get a new barrel for my ruger 10/22. It is a stock ruger 10/22 w/ a blued finish. My price limit is in the $200 range. I was looking at the latest Shotgun News and saw that JG Sales has a brand of barrels calles Clerke and a Hogue synthetic stock for the 10/22. They have a pretty...

what is your averall opinion of taurus revolvers? i would like to know because i am intersted in getting a model 85 .38 special. any comments why you like or dislike would be appreciated. thanks.

I'm looking for a good 9mm that would serve a variety of roles, but it's primary role would be to go to the range and practice, practice, practice. I want a gun that will feed a variety of ammo reliably, stand up to lots of range time, that is easy to clean and maintain, and could be good to...

What's the best way to store a gun that you use for a bedside gun? It has to be quickly accessable yet safe. 2nd, Is it safe to store these guns in a drawer during the day locked up (or under the bed). Will storing a defense gun this way make it prone to rust? I do shoot this gun at range...

I have a ruger 10/22 that I am interested in upgrading. I would like to add a decent, inexpensive scope and a new target barrel. I'm not trying to turn it into a "cadillac" or "yuppie" gun. I would just like to add some components that would upgrade it to a more "target grade" practical -...

A friend of mine is intersted in getting a relatively inexpensive 9mm. "Great!," I thought. That's easy! Just get a CZ-75. So I let him shoot mine. He didn't like it at all. I was bummed. So, I asked around at my gun shop and they suggested a ruger p95 as an alternative. Since I know...

Does anyone think that these are good rounds for concealed carry or home defense? The guy at the store said that they feed reliably and have very good stopping power. Thanks in advance.

I know that I posted a question about this awhile back. Here's a brief refresher. I want a .38 snubbie for concealed carry/home defense (well, I really have a remington 870 12 gauge for the 2nd purpose , but a lil' .38 doesn't hurt to have either ;) ). I've tried both the taurus 85 and the...

I went to a local gun show this weekend to check out and handle some shotguns. The primary role for this shotgun would be for home defense. I would like to do some hunting w/ it as well. I've really become a fan of the remington 870's because of their versatility and accessories. I'm very...

Anyone on the board have any experiences or opinions to share about the Taurus Tracker 4" stainless .357? I'm thinking about one for home defense loaded w/ .38 +P. Don't know if the porting on it is good or bad for this intended use. However, I shot one at the range. It seeemed to be a...

I have decided to go w/ a gun chambered for .38 special for a home defense/house gun. I decided on this caliber because I would like my girlfriend to be able to use this gun if ever the case may present itself. She really doesn't want to own her own weapon, but would like to be trained on the...
