Ok, I have two questions about the infamous “Gun Show Loophole”. 1) So, my understanding is that this has nothing to do with gun shows, but is simply a private sale between two individuals which could happen anywhere. Am I correct or is there more to it? 2) Do you see this as a Second...

The Discovery channel has cancelled the hit show American Guns in apparent response to complaints after recent violent incidents. I realize the show was not really popular with most of us on this site, but should it have been canceled because of recent events. The show was apparently fairly...

I have a Ruger Mark II Government Target model with a 6 7/8 inch bull barrel. The gun is a lot of fun to shoot and is getting more and more use. So, I was thinking about upgrading the stock factory grips to something else and have noted a few options from the Volquartsen target grips to more...

Ok, I suppose this is just one of those word of mouth kinds of things, but I need assistance in finding a good gunsmith. I know a lot of local shops that have Gunsmiths on site, but I’ve heard more complaints than compliments. Currently I am just considering having some night sites installed on...

I would like to try carrying my GLOCK 26 in an OWB holster. Since I still want the gun to remain as concealed as possible I would like a holster that rides tight to the body. So, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
