    Mossberg 590 not picking up/chambering shells

    Just picked up a brand new mossberg 590 and its not picking up the shells or chambering them. If I load all 6 it will pick up and chamber the first three, but the last three stay in the mag tube, and then when I bring the slide back forward the shells do pop out and then fall out the bottom of...

    9mm 1911 - Ejector Round Clearance

    I just picked up a Colt Govt 1911 in 9mm and have heard about the potential problem with the longer 9mm ejectors and the magazine or top round in the mag making contact with it potentially causing it to bend or snap. I had checked my gun and while my magazines do not hit the ejector, with the...

    Shoulder Holster Recommendations

    I’m looking for a shoulder holster for my 5” Government Colt 1911. Still torn between vertical or horizontal. Having a tough time deciding for a few reasons. Interested in the Galco VHS but I have some issues. The hardware on it is plastic, completely unacceptable on a $185 holster. It has a...

    Which Flash Hiders Don't Need To Be Timed?

    I have a Ruger Mini 14 tactical and want to remove the over 2" flash hider that came on it with something a bit shorter. Only problem is the Mini 14 is threaded right over the barrel, there is no shoulder behind the threading like on an AR15 so you cannot use a crush washer or the like to time...

    Yugo SKS

    Just showing off my new Yugo SKS. I had picked up a Yugo a little while ago that was supposed to be unissued, which turned out not to be, and ended up sending that one back. I found a shop near me that had ordered a few creates of unissued Yugo SKS's and was able to pick one up. I also tracked...

    New SKS On the Way

    Have wanted a 7.62x39 rifle for a while, and with the new and hopefully not permanent Healey assault weapon ban here in MA that means no more AR's or AK's, luckily I already own a couple BCM AR's. I narrowed it down between the SKS and Ruger Mini 30, though with the spotty reliability of the...

    AR15 Shooting Right

    I haven't shot this rifle much, but I noticed it is hitting right and I need to adjust the rear sight to the left more than I should to compensate. The upper itself is a BCM, and the sights are Troy Folding Battle Sights which are legit and bought through Primary Arms. My worst suspicions are...

    Got the 686+ 3" Back

    Just got my 686+ back from S&W which had to be replaced under warranty and it looks like they got it right this time. This is going to be my camping/hiking gun loaded up with some 180gr Buffalo Bore hard casts, that is once I find some. I compared both the 3" and the 4" at the shop and found the...

    Opinions on the Sig 320 Compact?

    Ive been looking for a Glock 19 sized handgun and the Sig 320 Compact, specifically the .45, has really caught my eye. Seems to be the only true competitor to the Glock 19 as far as size/capacity goes. While I love Glocks and have owned them in the past, in MA we are limited to preban mags if we...

    Finally Got the 20" AR out to the Range

    Finally got the new AR out to the range. This is my first experience with a 20" barrel and a rifle length gas system and cant believe how smooth it shoots compared to my 14.5" mid length, which in itself is a very smooth shooter. Coupled with the Gamma 556 brake this rifle shot extremely flat...

    OWB or Shoulder Holster for 3" L Frame

    Can anyone recommend a holster for a 3" L frame, specifically either OWB or a shoulder rig? Seems like most are either for a 2.5" or 4"+

    I Have the Worst Luck Buying New Guns

    Like the title says I have the worst luck buying new guns. Just bought a new 686+ today and the hammer is hitting the frame and gouging it, enough where it displaced metal on the right side of the inner frame. So off the S&W it is going this week. The Sig 226 I bought a few months back was...

    The Last 2 AR's I May Ever Own

    Well I just got the last couple of parts to finish my 2nd AR, and it finally hit me that these may be the last 2 AR's ill ever own due to MA's new AWB ban. For those who don't know, the AG in our state declared that the way the original MA AWB was written was wrong, and officially reinterpreted...

    The Tale of Three Rugers

    So a few months back I searched high and low and found a .327 LCR. Sweet little gun, great trigger, and was pretty pumped about having a small revolver that size that held 6 shots, I was even getting ready to retire the Shield 9mm. Unfortunately I ended up having problems with the LCR with the...

    Dry Firing With Titanium Firing Pin

    I am going to be picking up a SR1911 CMD hopefully this weekend. I read that they have titanium firing pins and was wondering if I need to be more cautious when dry firing since titanium is more brittle than steel?

    New Vaquero Grip Technique

    So I just picked up my New Vaquero in .45 Colt and I have a quick question about proper grip. I find gripping it with my pinky wrapped underneath not only gives my finger better trigger placement, but I can cock the hammer more easily and it just feels more comfortable. Is there any downside...

    LCR Cylinder Rubbing Frame When Closing

    I just bought a new Ruger LCR in 327 Federal yesterday and noticed that when closing the cylinder it is rubbing the frame, to the point where only after a day of having it, it has worn a pretty large spot down to bare metal. I have owned J frames in the past and have never remembered an issue...

    Claims of Gas Operated Being Less Powerful than Pump or Recoil Operated

    So in my other thread asking opinions on semi-auto defensive shotguns under $1000 this was posted, which I don't buy. Hoping someone more knowledgeable could clear this up and confirm or deny this. Basically the claims are that since a gas operated shotgun uses the gasses from the round just...
