So a while back I got a Colt CCO for carry, and all was well. It just so happened that once I found a holster that worked well for me, it so happened that I got the same holster for a 5" 1911. So just to see, I tried carrying my full size Clackamas Kimber. I found that the longer grip wasn't...

Well, I'm gonna have some money to burn from the sale of my Colt CCO, and I need a new carry gun. I went to the local fun shop today, and I handled a DW VBOB. I really, really like the bobtail frame, and I think it's going to work well for my next carry gun. The one I handled was a "blem"...

First of all, I'm way, way into double action S&W revolvers. I've only ever shot one single action revolver once, it was a .22 and it was a very long time ago. I've pretty much got all the guns I need for USPSA, IDPA, ICORE, Steel Challenge, and carry, so now I'm looking at guns I want. I'll...

So i traded my 640 toward a Colt CCO this weekend because i didn't have quite enough cash, so i'm going to need a new pocket gun. I went around to the local gun stores today to see what my options are. I'll probably just get another J frame (airweight this time), but i wanted to see what my...

I've seen uppers, barrels, and rifles before that are 14.5" with a pinned 1.5" flash hider that are considered 16" barrels because the flash hider is permanently attached for a total length of 16". My question is, if I were to do this myself, would the gun technically be illegal after it's been...

I've always lived in Iowa where this cool NFA stuff is illegal, but I've just moved to indiana where we can have this cool stuff. Question I have is, can I get a rifle with a 16" (non-NFA) barrel, do my paperwork and get my stamp, then cut it back to under 16"? I'd like to get a .45acp AR...

I just got a sweet new laptop, and I need some cool looking wallpaper, preferably something featuring S&W revolvers. Whatcha got?

So here's my story: Sometime in the next year, I'm planning on buying a 1911. It will primarily be used for USPSA shooting, and I may occasionally carry it. I have owned a S&W 1911SC and a Wilson KZ45. I currently own a 1911, it is a "parts gun", built by a USPSA shooter. It is an Auto...

So I'm looking for a couple of Tyler T-Grips, and having no luck. If you order direct, they take 6-8 weeks, and D&L Gunsmithing is out of them for K frames. I've seen several Pachmayr grip adapters on Gunbroker, GunsAmerica, and eBay. I know the general consensus is that the Tyler is the best...

So I want this: http://ruger.com/Firearms/FAProdView?model=10446&return=Y But with a Bisley grip frame. I know there is an Accusport model somewhat available with stainless finish and a 5 1/2" barrel, but I've only seen them at gunshows and for a good $100-$150 more than a new blued Blackhawk...

I need a very light recoiling load for my .38s. I have a box of 500 148gr. LWCs I was just given, and I've got Clays and Universal powders on hand. I'll be getting my CCW permit within the next month or two, and I'll be primarily carrying a S&W 640 and/or a S&W M64 with a 3" barrel. I haven't...

I know there's somebody on this forum who has a light on their press to check for squibs and double charges, but I can't remember who. I just knocked out my first 50 rounds on my Dillon SDB, and I can see inside the case OK, but I'd like to have a little more light. Whoever you are, can you...

So I've found the right combo of gun and holster, (1911sc and a Kramer #1 1/2), and now I need to decide how to carry a spare mag or two. Any ideas? I'm thinking about carrying on the belt, but a lot of the mag pouches I've seen seem to be harder to conceal than the 1911. What about the...

I have a pre-lock M37 that I got for pocket carry. With most of my pants the hammer spur isn't a problem, but I certainly wouldn't mind trading it for a spurless model. I'd just hack it off like I did with my M64, but it's blued and pinned and in good shape and has the original box, manual...

I won't be able to get into a CCW class until after the first of the year, so I'm using the interim to experiment with different guns and holsters. The idea was to have a battery of guns for different modes of dress: A 1911SC for winter, a 3" M64 with boot grips for spring/fall, and an M37 for...

My girlfriend has put me in charge of Christmas presents for her dad, because he and I are both gun nuts. I got a Tyler T-grip for his Thunder Ranch Model 22, but she says I need to spend another $25-30. He is a big fan of big bore wheelguns, but I don't know what to buy him for that low of a...

What do you use as a cover garment when you carry on the belt? 1. Tac vest? 2. Sportcoat/suit jacket? 3. Hawaiian shirt? 4. T-shirt? 5. Sweatshirt/fleece?

I've decided on the rifle I'm going to buy for next summer's prairie dog hunt(CZ 527 Varmint), but now I need to know about a scope and a bipod. The rifle comes with 1" rings that fit on an integral base. I looked at some Leupolds in the store and honestly in a side-by-side comparison I...

I'm strongly considering getting an Arsenal AK, probably in .223. I like that I can get it in .223 and that it apparently has a nice trigger. Also I was in Bulgaria for a couple weeks this summer, so I kind of want a "Bulgarian" gun. Haven't actually fired one yet. Mostly I kind of want...

I know that Gemini Customs and Wilson Combat will both do bobtail conversions, but I'd like to know who else does. I'm pretty well happy with the gun otherwise, just would like to make my near-perfect carry gun perfect. Who's had this done, who did it for you, approximate costs, things I...
