I'm looking into getting a revolver so while visiting my father during the holidays I asked if I could get a feel of his Ruger GP-100. My father and I both are really big on safety. My father pointed the firearm in a safe direction, opened the cylinder, ejected the ammo into his hand, took a...

Does anyone know where I can find a Dragunov style stock for a Mosin Nagant M44? I'm actually putting it on a Chinese Type 53, but everything I've read says it's the same gun.

I see something about uploading pics to albums in the FAQ's. I have looked all over the UserCP page and I am unable to locate the link. Anyone know more about this? Am I looking in the wrong place?

I have three mags for every gun and I keep roughly 200 rounds for each gun on hand. The only real reason for having three mags is for one in the gun and two in a double mag holster. I was just wondering if there is any reason for having more or less? The reason for 200 rounds per gun is that...

I've had semiauto's since my 21st birthday. I've fired a few revolvers but they never really felt good to me. I've fired my dad's Ruger GP 100 .357 a couple of times and I like the gun but it feels awkward and unbalanced in my hands, it's heavy as hell and still kicks like a mule. (Not saying...

I'm looking for some add ons for some home defense weapons. Does anyone happen to know where I can find some of these accessories or if some that are made for different models will fit mine? I've tried to find them, but been unable to, might just be looking in the all the wrong places. I'm not a...

My own personal training style for home defense is to shoot two in the chest one in the head. Been told by a few people to keep my mags loaded 2 JHP, 1FMJ (repeat) for better skull penetraion with the FMJ. I keep mine loaded with all JHP's right now for simplicity. I'm not too educated when it...

A few years ago my father passed down a Reminton Model 11 automatic 12g that has been in the family since it was fist purchased by my great-grandfather. My father fired it when he was in his early teens and then it got lost in a closet for 30+ years. The action and everything works perfect, but...

How do you guys and gals with children secure your guns in the house? I have a small collection the only ones that remain loaded are the 12g, and a couple of pistols for home defense.

Just thought I would post a question that's been on my mind today. Why don't more handguns come with night sights? I was lucky enough to pick up my FNP-40 NIB with Trijicon's. Since then I've been looking for a .45 ACP, but I haven't seen any that I like with night sights. Even the FNP-45 seems...

This story isn't one that was emailed to me or I heard from a friend of a friend. It happened to me. I know this is a firearms forum, and this is not a story about using a firearm in self defense, but it is the story of why I carry a firearm everywhere I go now. I've always owned firearms since...

I carry with one in the chamber in my FNP-40. I just got a 1911 style Para Ordnance Big Hawg SA .45 ACP with safety but no de-cocking lever. I'm new to the 1911 style and I was wondering if I could safely chamber a round and de-cock using the trigger and hammer? I would love to carry the Para...

Never gave it any thought until recently. I'm thinking about getting a suppressor for one of my handguns. I figured it would be interesting to shoot. I don't know anything about them and I just had some questions. Do they increase/decrease accuracy at all? Do I still need to wear hearing...

I've owned handguns for a while and just picked up my first rifles. I have a Chinese Type 53 in 7.62x54R and a Yugo SKS in 7.62x39. I don't plan on using these for self/home defense, that's what my handguns and shotguns are for. I was just wondering that if I had to use them against a person or...

My wife suprised me yesterday by taking me to the gun store and told me I had five minutes to pick one out. I usually take at least a few days to shop around and do some research before buying a new firearm. The place we went didn't have much of a selection and I didn't have time to look around...

I recently heard a rumor from a Vietnam Veteran about a custom shotgun load. He said they used to take lead fishing weights and clamp them onto monofilliment wire in a circle and load them into 12 gauge shells. He claimed that the monofillement wire they used had a melting point a few degrees...
