    SIG P229 Ported 357 barrels?

    Got a new P229 two-tone in .40 a couple of days ago and I am wanting to buy a barrel in .357SIG. Having shot the round for the first time today in a non-compensated P229, I'm thinking about getting a compensated barrel. I'm not a recoil sissy... but I don't want to have to start at one-foot to...

    SA XD40 -> .357SIG conversion barrels?

    Trying to get into .357SIG without getting a whole new gun (wife isn't going to let me get anything for awhile, so a P229 will have to wait)... is anyone making a .357SIG aftermarket barrel for the XDs yet?

    S&W 625 or Taurus Tracker .45 - market price?

    Thinking about getting a .45 Auto revolver... mainly because I happened upon a cache of .45 Auto Rim and it's always seemed a neat idea. Anyway, I've only had one revolver (GP100 Ruger) and haven't looked at them much in the past, so not sure what's a good price range for these... Any help...

    springfield XD-40 Range Report - Shame on Me

    I used to say poly guns were no good for me. I used to say .40 S&W was an unweildy, snappy round that was better off as a 10mm. Shame on me. I love this gun. It's as accurate in my hands as my friend's HK USP .40 and a friend with Beretta 92 and more accurate than the Beretta friend's Glock...

    I finally broke down and went back to plastic...

    I don't like polymer. Real men use real steel. Then, why did I walk out of the HGCA with a Springfield XD40... good price ($350)? Moment of weakness? Felt great? Don't know. However, now I have one... and I don't regret it. However... two questions: 1. What ammo do they like? Are they...

    Sig P226, BHP + .40s&w

    I have a friend who is looking to buy his first handgun, and after sitting him down and explaining the various calibers and letting him shoot a few guns, he's decided he wants a .40 S&W. He doesn't want a Glock (he sorta ADed the Glock range gun we rented... it was pointed down-range, but he...

    Kimber 6.5X55?

    Was looking around the used section in a nearby gunshop/range (taking a break from the heat), and saw for about $350 a Kimber rifle in 6.5X55. I wanted to check it out, but got distracted. Anyway, does anyone know about/have an opinion of these rifles?

    Browning BAR II?

    My father has asked me questions about the Browning BAR II and my family has been considering getting him one for his birthday. I do not know much at all about them, nor do any of my local shooting friends. I'm mostly familar (as are they) with AR-types, HK-types, FALs, Garands, M14s. Are...
