My eyesight is not what it used to be and it never was that great to begin with. I do however still love using red dots (Aimpoint Comp M2s mostly) for shooting my semi-auto rifles and prefer them to a magnified optic since the red dots have a much wider field of view and are not as sensitive...

I have a surplus Inland that came with a loose fitting Italian stock. I've had an aftermarket M1A1 para stock on it for quite a while, and that improved accuracy quite a bit. However, I'd now like to go back to the traditional USGI style full walnut stock on it. Has anyone had any experience...

What were the first double stack DA/SA and double stack DAO handguns in a major caliber? The Hi Power was a double stack SA 9mm, and the P-38 was a DA/SA single stack 9mm. What was the first handgun to put these two features together in a 9mm or larger chambering? Beretta 92? CZ-75? Also...

I have a Shield chambered in .45 and it is a nice handgun with a decent trigger for a poly subcompact. However, I'm considering selling it to buy a .45 XDS in order to get the 4" barrel. Have any of you compared the post recall .45 XDS to the Shield .45? How do the triggers compare?

With my J-Frame in my right front pocket, I usually drop a speed strip or two in by change pocket, but speed loaders make for much quicker reloads and I really don't even like using speed strips at the range. In the winter time I just drop speed loaders in my right or inside breast coat pocket...

I just finished reading Combat Shooting with Massad Ayoob (free read on Kindle if you have Amazon Prime BTW). It's a great read and I highly recommend it, along with Deadly Force - Understanding Your Right to Self Defense, another free Prime Reader book. An interesting point in that book...

1911s with beavertail, commander hammer, skeletonized trigger, large three dot sights, etc are almost ubiquitous today. It seems only the cheaper entry level 1911s don't have any of these features. Why didn't the Hi Power ever pick up these features in factory production? I've only seen...

Awkward name. :confused: H.R.367 - To provide that silencers be treated the same as long guns. Introduced to the 115th Congress on 1/9/17 Currently 43 cosponsers. Though only one from my state :( Currently referred to the following committees: House Ways and Means, House Judiciary At this...

I found this ARMS #38 SWAN in my stuff, but it has weird rail spacing. Does anyone know what standard this is?

I have a couple well used M59s ( standard config without the grenade launcher) and an very nice M59/66 with a logbook. What are these worth these days? I don't see them around much anymore.

Has there ever been an AK/AR hybrid that uses an AK bolt & carrier, left side charging handle, with AR type lower or at least mags that insert straight in? In other words, an AK action in 223/5.56 with AR like ergo controls (except for the charging handle)

With winter and heavy coats, I've been carrying my BUG J-frame in my large coat pocket. The long coat makes it difficult to get to my primary IWB or BUG front pocket carry. My coat has two pockets on each side, one is open to the rear (I suppose to put your hands in) and another with a flap...

For Christmas I got a wonderful present: a 1974 vintage K-frame and in almost perfect condition. I took it to the range as soon as I could along with a bunch of HKS speedloaders. It was a blast shooting steel and paper from 15 to 25 yards. It shoots beautifully, has great balance and has such...

I'm considering some substantial pruning of my collection. I had a C&R for years (I let that expire a few years back) and collected quite a mass of old guns, ammo and accessories that I never use. I really don't want to sell online, and I'm thinking about renting a table at the local gun show...

Reliability Survey: I haven't seen a poll on this and I'm curious about the reliability of some of the more popular striker fired single stack 9mm pocket guns out there now. This is not an all inclusive list but it's already a large poll and I chose the more commonly recommended guns to keep...

Does anyone own or have regular experience with the SD9VE and XD Service Model (4" barrel) 9mm? I'm considering getting a polymer framed 9mm and have whittled the list down to these two. They seem pretty comparable spec wise. About the same size, same capacity, but there is about $100...

I've been reading Grant Cunninghams Defensive Revolver Fundamentals (and he has a similar Defensive Pistol Fundamentals for semi-autos) and it's an interesting read. The link at the bottom of this post highlights some of the more interesting points. (I believe these are taught by Rob Pincus as...

* I'm talking about Double Action guns here * I was searching around and couldn't find a comprehensive list of all the S&W 45ACP revolvers. These are the ones I can think of: 1917 (both S&W and Colt) M22 M25 M26 625 Did Colt make others? What S&Ws am I missing? .

I see a lot of folks post about OWB carry, but I'm curious from our little sample of forum gun owners, what percentage carry that way. Please select the way you carry most often. You may comment on the other ways below. For example, I most often carry a CCO or PCR IWB, but occasionally...
