How have those rounds been viewed lately in justified self-defense shootings? Are there any new examples of a good guy getting burned because of his weapon choice? I've always had the school of thought that your better off to use what your local PD does, but obviously their selection is not...

Lately I've started to see the virtues of the 10mm and wonder what you guys think of it as a pack or day-hike wilderness round? It seems to equal or exceed the 357Mag depending on the gun/barrel length and ammo manufacturer. How do those two really compare? The wife and I are in the early...

What can be put on a smooth leather surface so that its tacky and sticks to skin? I have a G27 in a really nice holster that slides down unless I really cinch the reinforced gun belt down tight - either way its uncomfortable.

I've got a Para SSP thats a pretty good shooter, but its black coating just sucks. You guys have any thoughts (and example pics) of who I could send it to for a fresh coat of blackness?

Alright - my Buckmark, the MK's, Neo's - they're all real guns, but I'm looking for more 22LR's like the Beretta 87 Cheetah, the Walther/Interarms TPH, or even the Walther P22. You know, guns that are sized right for the hand AND for the round, have a little kick and are just simply fun to...

I've always really liked shooting my G27 despite its snappiness, but on Saturday it was lighting me up. Same story the last time I took it out, but then I thought it was just me being a sissy that day. I left the range this time with a sore wrist, elbow, and the left side of my bird-flippin...

I'm thinking about picking up a stun gun to deal with a unarmed attacker. I'm looking for a nice quality credit card sized unit, or one that looks like a flashlight. What do you recommend? Also looking for suggestions on pepper spray - real powerful percentage, perhaps shaped like a pen...

I'll start with the conception (or misconception) that 1911's fall far short of being the most reliable 45ACP platform available, but how well does it do with 9mm, or 40S&W? I decided awhile ago that I was going to move to HK for my 45 needs, but I like the 1911 very much and wonder if it is...

Who's got one and how do you like it? Is it fiercely snappy and miserable to shoot? I'm looking for something between my LCP and the G27, so I'm considering the PM40 because I'm a huge fan of the 40S&W round but want something smaller and lighter than the G27. I'm also thinking about going...

I'm looking to by my first rifle of some sort, likely a carbine with accessory rails. Sig perhaps? I'll get to the rifle later, I Dont know squat about these things yet, so I figure I'll land on a good all-purpose round, then I'll pick the gun. I'm looking for reasonably hard hitting (but...

Any suggestions for under-arm carrying a G27? We're headed into winter coat wearing and I'd like to get my G27 off of my hip and into a rig that puts it under my left armpit with maybe a couple of mags under my right armpit. I drive a lot for work, so getting it out of my waistband might be...

That quote from another thread got me to thinking about priorities - Shoot, or buy? What good is a gun if you dont shoot it? It needs to be shot, right? While ammo is finally coming down in price and up in availablity, it certainly isnt cheap by any "working mans" standard, I mean sheesh.. me...

I got a great deal on 200 rounds of Winchester PDX1 180gr and ran it thru my new'ish cooler weather carry gun. Then I ran 200 rounds of cheapo Federal FMJ thru it. Since I tend to keep my guns clean, I gave it a quick lube/clean every hundred rounds to keep dirtiness from being a factor in the...

When was the last time anyone saw a box of 45 ball for less than $16? I couldnt believe my eyes... Federal 45APC ball for $15.xx (and lots of it!) Federal 40SW ball for $13.xx Federal 9mm ball for $9.xx All of it marked made in the USA! About fricken time. ;) Anyone else seeing the same...

So after several months of deliberating (and sneaking in a new G27 first) I finally bought a 75b SA. My objective was to buy a inexpensive all-steel 9mm for plinking duty, and thats exactly what I got, but it also came with a really nasty trigger. Good thing they're easy to work on. ;) I...

How many rounds is a recoil spring good for?

I'm looking to add another .45 Going none 1911 this time - I want more capacity, a rail, lighter weight, and faultless reliablity in a very high quality package. I'm looking to H&K and have discovered the new'ish HK45, but I know nothing about it. How does it compare to the USP... Pro's /...

Its a Para SSP, I've sworn since I've owned it that I'd keep it for good or at least only trade it for another 1911. I'm not so sure anymore. I'm looking for a few rock solid reliable non-1911 suggestions to replace it. CZ-97? Glock 21? H&K USP45? I'm looking for a classic well known gun...

I really like the looks of the Glock 27 in OD Green (more of a tan really), but I'm concerned about trade value down the road if I try to swap it out. Do these tan/green guns stain or become nasty looking over time from powder residue, cleaners, and regular ol grubby mitts? Generally speaking...

I've been hankering for a G26 for awhile now, but I just noticed that the G27 carries 9+1 rounds compared to the 26's 10+1, well thats only one round and it got me to thinking/wondering... How do they shoot side-by-side? Is the 27 as controllable as the 26? Is the .40 noteably more effective...
