I'm getting a wish list together here and want to put a red dot on my Ruger MkIII this year. For $200, should I get a tube or should I get a holograph-type site? I have zero experience with either. I'd like to officially get into bullseye next year, but this will probably be for plinking more...

I'm new to town and looking for a new 1911. I'm looking for a good price, decent service and trustworthy people.

I bought my wife a Bersa Thunder 380 a couple of weeks ago and now that we've got the kinks worked out of it, I'm really liking the darn thing. I'm still hung up on the caliber, though, so what I'm looking for is essentially a Bersa Thunder in 9 mm. For those familiar with this pistol, does...

I bought a Bersa Thunder 380 duo tone yesterday and took it to the range today. Very first round is FTF. Second round FTF, third round FTF.... In 200 rounds, I had two seven-round magazines go through without a FTF or a FTE. I had four FTE. I had nose-up FTF just about every three rounds. It was...

I had to drive 45 miles last weekend (and I live in an urban area, 15 minutes from AimSurplus) to find ANYTHING other than wwb in 7.62x39 and when I got there it was HP Wolf, HP Brown Bear and hot Yugo-made ammo. Does anyone have any definitive info on when Wolf FMJ will be widely available...

Um, his Kahr that is. Just saw shaft and Kahrs have finally hit the big time. His stainless K-9 gets a ruthless workout. I want one like him with the 40 round clip. Actually, kidding aside, it did actually make me want to get one.

I don't know if anyone wants to read about this, but I'm pretty sure that I totalled my car in an accident last night. I was picking up a drunken friend from a bar and on the way home I turned right and the car went straight. It was raining of course and the car slammed into and over a foot...

This is the greatest movie ever made. It's a James Coburn. If you haven't seen it, go get it. There's a line in the movie when he's staying with some "liberals". The liberal husband talks about the conservatives next door. "Real right wingers, fly the american flag every day... real facists...

I ran into a really unfortunate discussion with a friend yesterday and I need your advice. It was a reunion with an ex-girlfriend from high school at the local Friday's. As we caught-up she mentioned that she had bought a HK USP .45. I was very excited and she was telling me all about it...

Okay, I've finally found the money and the time and I'm going to buy something shinny this weekend. I just want to know WHAT to do in order to not get screwed on a price and how to jive with the dealer. I know what I can expect to pay for the guns I'm looking at, but is it okay to bargain...

Okay, I've been 21 for 10 days and I still don't have a handgun. I've got $490 to spend and a few recommendations of shops to visit. I was wondering though if I'd be more likely to get a better deal at a gun show?

I recently broke my foot and was put on painkillers (Tylenol 3). It doesn't really phase me, but I was wondering if one can or should carry while under the influence of drugs like these?

Okay, I live in northern Va, but I go to school 6 hours away and I hadn't heard about this MMM until today. I was wondering what kind of counter-protests are going on other than the AIMM one. Anyone know? My only objection is that I'm not a mom or a woman and I don't know if my participation...

I'll be moving into a SMALL apartment in August. Other apartments in the house have been burglarized before, so I'm going to get a 12ga. 590 as soon as I can afford it. The longest range in the house wouldn't be more than 10 yards and the walls are REALLY flimsy. What kind of load would you...

What would you feed a 3 inch SP 100? I'll be buying factory ammo and I'd like recommendations for carry and practice in both .38 and .357. Thanks

I'm pretty much settled on the .357 3 inch SP100 when I turn 21 in May. Is the 5 shot capacity enough though? How fast can the average shooter eject, take out a speedloader, load and be ready to fire?

Sold out for nothing? Hardly -- look at this AP story. Smith & Wesson Earns Preference WASHINGTON (AP) – The Department of Housing and Urban Development and the mayors of Atlanta, Detroit and Miami moved today to see that their law enforcement agencies give preference to Smith & Wesson when...

I turn 21 in May and am itching to buy my first handgun for concealed carry. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a dealer/course around Northern Virginia.

Okay, I narrowed down my prospects for a CCW. For revolvers I'm looking at the Ruger SP101 in .357 (KSP-321XL). I can get one new for $339 and it's got a concealed hammer. S&W Mod. 60 in .357 -- don't know how much a used one would cost, but it has a hammer spur. Taurus 605 (also .357) new...

I'm thinking about purchasing a pistol for concealed carry/self-defense. I'm fairly proficient with both rifles and shotguns, but I've only handled pistols a few times and it was many years ago. I'm a student though and unfortunately I don't have a decent income. I've been looking at the...
