Does anyone make .380 and/or .40s&w buck-shot ammo? If not, can any of you handload .380 shells using 38spl plastic caps?

Our recent TFL pole/thread has expressed a clear 75+% NO to expanded background checks; ie closing gun show "loop holes". Conversely, I heard from 3 separate radio stations today that the "majority" of NRA members favored expanded background checks. (Later ID'd as the Quinnipiac Poll) Either...

I stumbled across this in the FBI's website. It appears violent crime has been steadily decreasing even through hard economic times. CC has expanded widely during that time frame, and it seems more and more people are joining in and actually carrying. How much influence do you think CC has on...

For a long while now I've meaning to pick up a 22lr rifle, probably a Ruger 10/22, mostly for plinking but also to just have around to put a small meal on the table if needed. But then the 22lr has dried up, but it seems 17hmr is always there in some form. And that got me to wondering what kind...

It can pretty much be anything.. Mine? The holster for my LCP is a leather belt loop (not a clip) and I thought I had fed my belt through it, of course. So there I am at the grocery story standing still looking at something on the shelf. As I habitually do when my pants start dragging down on...

I simply cash the MO at any USPS. Then ship the handgun via UPS Next Day Air to the buyers FFL...cost is around $50-60. Correct?

Those of you own both or have at least shot them both on the same day... how do they compare? I have a G21 that I like a lot, its a really great shooting 45, but for awhile now I've been thinking about consolidating to .40s&w, 22lr and 380 for a whole slew of small reasons, but that excellent...

I was all set to buy a AR-10'ish rifle, funds stashed and everything... then :mad: So I started to look back at where I started.. the Remington 750 Woodsmaster, but many seem to frown upon it... why, exactly? I'll shoot maybe a 100 rounds a year through it.

I there any reason I shouldnt buy a DPMS .308? I havent settled on a specific model yet, but it will most likely be a flat top light hunter variety. Ideally I'd like to buy a Compact Hunter if I can get it. (Or whatever I can get my hands on lately :rolleyes: ) Can the front iron sight be...

Lately I've been encountering one thread closing after another and the criteria seems very willynilly and up to whoever staff wanders by. I see useless crap-slinging threads go on forever and then excellent threads such as this one complete with 2 other staffer postings be snipped off at the...

First thing this Monday morning my 6mo daughter grabs and snatches the right side tab on the backside of her poopy diaper... smeared it right up the buttcheek and beyond. :mad: It took her milliseconds. Kids are quick. Manual safeties, maybe not a bad idea after all...

I've been thinking about buying a 10mm barrel for my Glock 21 figuring its about as powerful as (inexpensive) auto-loaders can be. That would require a aftermarket barrel, magazine from the G20, recoil buffer and a stiffer spring. Total is around $170 Then 45 Super caught my attention...

Its time to add a all-purpose semi-auto rifle to my collection. I'm looking for a 16-17" carbine .308 of decent quality at minimal expense (think Glock/CZ persona). Ideally it would have a accessory rail and able to mount a scope on top and a Burris FastFire at 45 degrees or on on the side for...

I picked up one of those neat little NAA 22lr pistols a few weeks ago and started wondering if there is a (good quality) tiny 22 auto that I havent come across yet? I'm hoping for around 4 inches, 4 ounces, and pancake thin...?

That catchy phrase has gotten a lot of play, its regularly repeated all around the various firearms forums and has become the mantra of many who say man-up, go spendy on belts and holsters, dress around the gun, and so on... I think there is a big difference between "prepared" and...

Simply put... the longer I carry, the less I like it. (Maybe I'm just getting fatter.. haha) I happily carry a LCP iwb in hot weather, and a PM9 iwb in jeans... but I really want something smaller and lighter. I'm giving serious thought to picking up one of the little NAA revolvers and I'm...

We all routinely encounter posts like the quote below scattered throughout this forum and others, but I cant figure it out. For me it’s the gun and its sights, trigger and overall feel along with how much practice I've had with the package as a whole. Many say they shoot 45 better than 9mm...

Lately I've been itching for a little revolver, but I'm not real familiar with the different models from the various makers. I think I'd like a 357 or 9mm snubbie with a bobbed hammer that'll hold in the SA position. A smooth linear trigger would be nice too. Suggestions?

I have 2 very nice/thick black leather jackets that are nearly perfect on the outside, but the lining has turned to shredded rag. I'd like to have them both relined, maybe with a integral holster or at least a reinforced pocket (no sag, minimal flop). You guys got any suggestions or where to...

I, probably like many of you, don’t have a bunch of cash just lying around for whimsical pistol impulse buying. If your like me you spend weeks seeking out (and justifying) each new gun because it fills a roll - Nightstand, truck, ccw(s) and so on. What are your favorites and what are their...
