Since I put a handgun range in my back yard I have been shooting a lot more and shooting 9mm, 40 S&W, 357 Sig and 45 acp as well as 38 apcl/357 mag and 44 spcl/44 mag. Quickly I realized that my wallet was losing weight. With arthritis and back and neck problems as well as other ailments my...

I am researching Springfield's XDE 45 and would like to get anyone's experience with them. How do you like it? Accuracy? Reliability? Function? I tend to gravitate toward hammer fired weapons and am looking at the possibility of getting a smaller 45 acp than my FNX 45 and Bersa 45. The XDE...

Is there such a thing as a training handgun? One that can be used to practice grip, trigger press, trigger reset, etc. A gun that does not fire but has a trigger pull and click and reset without racking a slide. I guess I am lazy and racking the slide on a real pistol becomes tiresome. :D

Several months ago I purchased a Shield 40 and later got a 9mm barrel and mags for it. I have now put approximately 1,000 rounds combined of the two calibers through it. I have constantly been disappointed in the overall accuracy and that is shooting at 8 yards only. No consistency and low...

I used to be anti Glock....I do not know why, but at one time I did not care for striker pistols. I do like 40 S&W so I decided to purchase a Glock 27 and once I had my head straight I must like it. I can carry it in a pocket even though it is a tad thick. It also fits a kydex paddle holster...

I have been attempting to find the two calibers mentioned in a Round nose ammo. Both calibers have FMJ but with a flat nose. Is there a reason for not having the round nose bullet? Thanks in advance.

I have a shooting range in my back yard where I can shoot about 50 feet. I mostly use it for hand guns. Many hundreds of yards of heavily wooded swamp behind the range. Been thinking of getting one or a couple of those spinning/self resetting targets. Do they ricochet in various and sundry...

I have a Smith 627 and just ordered a 629. It dawned on me that in researching a 357 magnum I came across a lot of threads talking about the penetration of 357 magnum for Home Defense and also for personal defense. However, I have seen nothing similar for a 44 magnum penetration through walls...

Anyone know where I can get the left handed barrel. 18 or 18.5 inch 12 gauge. I have a left handed 870 Express Magnum 2 3/4 / 3 inch. Dummy me ordered one and forgot that mine is left handed.....aaarrrggghhh pound head on cement...lol. The right handed barrel does not work. Tried it...

I purchased a Sig Sauer P938 in July 2013. After initial problems with myself not putting the 6 round magazines in solidly the pistol became my favorite. Especially when I got three 7 round magazines. After breaking it in very well and getting accustomed to cocked and locked it became my daily...

Got a new S&W 627 Pro 4" today. I likey a lot, muchly, real good. I have a Ruger SP101 2.25 that is my first handgun (around 2000) love and I will never part with it (also got a pocket holster for it today). However during the period when some ammo was difficult to get I got a lot of 158 gr 38...

I have a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 R. This is 5.45x39. Great rifle imho, but I have finally beat my fingers to pieces loading the mags:D so I am looking for an auto/speed loader that will work. My research leaves me a bit unsure if any of the products will work on my magazines. I have the...

Earlier this year I did a Lifetime Membership to the NRA. I truly appreciate the NRA's fight to beat the opponents of the 2nd Amendment and I also will also give my life to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as I did with my service in Vietnam in 68/69. However the NRA seems to...

I have a bunch of woods in my back yard and (like I did today) I sometimes want to test fire a weapon. However, I do have some neighbors maybe hundreds of yards away (not in the area of the woods and I am in the country). Got the "bright" idea today of maybe using a suppressor/silencer (aren't...

:D For the fourth time since early May I have succumbed to the Black Handgun Disease.......how many more lives does this cat have!? I have been researching the Ruger SR22 for a few days after having gone to the range with my new Sig P938 and found that the small grip was causing me to shoot to...

Purchased a P938 about a week ago and after several days of "playing" with it because of other things I needed to do I got to go to the range today. I am left handed and I have other semi handguns that are fully ambidextrous so I was venturing out into a mostly right handed world I have...

I just purchased a Sig Sauer P938 which I have not fired as yet. I am left handed. I had previously purchased a FNH FNX 40 and a Bersa Thunder 9 UC Pro...both have ambidextrous safety/decocker, mag release, slide release. I use a sling shot method with these two and have only used the slide...

Finally got out to the range Friday with two new semi-auto handguns. Had purchased them quite a while ago, but they were on the shelf while waiting on my North Carolina CCW. Carteret County was said to be 90-120 days. Not so...took 78 and I ain't complaining. Weapons purchased were a FNH FNX 40...

I now have purchased a 9mm semiauto hand gun. Bersa Thunder 9 UC Pro. Can not take possession of it until I get my ccw here in N.C. Anyway, I am going to start stocking up on 9mm ammo. Mostly I will probably have to get what is available, but seem to think that something between 124 gr and...

Just want to know what your perception of the insurance is. Thanks
