Hey all, I'm helping my brother pick out components for an AR primarily for range and home defense purposes. His police department gave him a nice Colt M4 but he wants one of his own. I have some decent AR experience but you fine folks have more. Necessary specs: - 16" chrome lined barrel -...

Sorry to waste y'alls time with this, I'm sure the answer is really obvious but I can't think of it. I was replacing the battery in my Crimson Trace laser grip for my Ruger LCP .380 (the one that came with it must have been a cheapo, it ran out really quickly), and in the process of figuring...

So, I did a pretty thorough search to make sure this hadn't been brought up, but I was doing some window shopping over at Wilson Combat, since I live in a house made of diamonds (:p), and I saw that they have a "Spec Ops 9" pistol. Polymer 16+1 9mm. As far as I knew Wilson was a 1911-exclusive...

Hi all! My brother is going through his field training as a LEO after receiving his master's degree in criminal justice, and I am being a bit obsessive about making sure he's well-equipped, even if I have to sell stuff or scrape up whatever money I can as his poor-college-student younger...

My dad thought it fitting to get me a brand new Ruger 10/22 Carbine! Sorry for the abysmal cell phone camera picture quality, I will dig up my digital camera later, but I was excited and wanted to share. It's a synthetic stock, stainless finish, and he bought me a bunch of Winchester "333"-box...

Hey guys. I left town for five days and my basement bedroom flooded, going un-noticed for three days. I lost my iPod dock and some assorted stuff. The true pain was when I opened the Plano case holding my 870. Having sat wet for three days, it was covered in rust stem to stern. A clean put away...

So, on this forum, Federal HST is considered supremely good ammo, and I saw some ballistic tests of the stuff (awesome!) which leads me to believe my Federal Hydra-Shok 155gr .40s are behind the times. However, though a significant amount of board members say they carry HST, whenever I find it...

I went down to visit my brother today, and we went shooting at Impact Guns, and I wanted to share my truly fantastic experience with you all. It is so common to hear complaints, I think when folks do a really bang-up job they deserve the recognition. I shot about 800 rounds today, through 9...

The time has come to get a fun plinking pistol. My .40 and .380 bullets are too expensive to throw downrange in large numbers, and .22 is a caliber I sorely miss shooting. I have found two .22 pistols I really like, the ones in the title of the post. Which of these is the general consensus...

Hey everyone, Yesterday, after far too long, I got to take my LCP out to the range. I live in Wyoming, so for me the "range" is about a ten minute drive out to the boonies and some targets propped against sagebrush :p A few observations... First, you guys were not kidding. The gun is not...

Thought you all might enjoy this. No politics, just a factual, statistical study. Apologies if it's been posted, searched and couldn't find it. http://www.fbi.gov/page2/dec09/crimestats_122109.html Key quotes "Preliminary statistics released by the FBI for the first half of 2009 show that...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if the Desantis Nemesis holster works well with the LCP when it has Crimson Trace grips. Is the fit still good? Are there better pocket holsters for the LCP, if money is not an issue?

Hey guys, During my time on this forum, I've received my first ever pistol (my Beretta PX4) and my first ever shotgun (my Remington 870 Tactical). I am getting ready to buy my first ever rifle after helping my dad and brother zero their Remington R700 BDLs. I have heard some bad murmurings...

I am thrilled to tell you that in addition to 21 being an amazing, brainbending time involving copious amounts of liquid fun, I also came out of it with a brand new Remington 870 Tactical with a magazine extension (6+1 rounds), an AR-style adjustable stock, and a limb saver recoil buttpad on the...

We all know that there's nothing as sweet as the feel of a new gun. It just so happens that the one thing sweeter is a new gun for free. I was buying my brother some Trijicons for his Glock 22 today (I know, hiss hiss Glock, hiss hiss him not having them already with those craptastic plastic...

Hi guys. The 25th is my 21st birthday, and I can finally buy handguns and ammo. Celebration! Right now I carry a magazine of 165-grain Federal Hydra-Shok JHPs which as I understand it is a pretty good carry round. However, just for fun, let's have a poll. What shall I carry once I can buy...
