My local dealer has a Ruger American Predator with the Vortex Crossfire scope in stock. It's the "older" version (16953) that has the flush fit (non-Al style) magazine. Is there a way to mod this rifle for the upgrade magazine, or is it what you see is what you get...

I tried to search the forums but didn't see anything about this specifically. In real world use, is there a definitive corrosion resistance benefit to the 590 JIC in Cerakote-Stainless vs. the standard 590 in Matte Blued? Whichever one I pick up will be a combination house and truck gun. My...

I'm not a fan of the tribal marketing model of USCCA. Personal choice. What did you choose CCWSafe or ACLDN?

For some reason, I'm unable to quote posts in my replies. I can't find any link on each post in a thread that allows this. What am I missing?

I picked up my G29 today- the recoil is certainly manageable and I fired Sig 180 gr, Double Tap 200 gr, and Liberty Civil Defense 60 gr (2400 fps!). I was pleased with the accuracy as well- even in rapid fire my groups were respectable (and certainly "deadly enough" with the power of the 10mm)...

I want the G29 for it's compact size and powerhouse 10mm versatility. I plan to use it in my EDC rotation. That said, for woods carry I'd like the option of a longer barrel. Am I correct that I can drop in the G20's 4.62 inch barrel into the G29 as desired? If so, is the accuracy of the longer...

I compared ballistics of the 10mm in a 3.77 inch (Glock 29) barrel to that of a 6.02 inch (Glock 40). For Buffalo Bore 180 gr., is it possible that it's less than 150 fps? The differential seems to decrease the lower the weight of the bullet. What am I misreading, or am I? 10mm...

For woods defense, how necessary is it to change out the barrel of a Glock 20 to something like a KKM Precision to shoot heavy cast hand loads? For standard hot loads I believe the Glock 20 stock barrel to be more than adequate. But if I choose to carry the G20 for lower 48 woods protection and...

I've been fastidiously researching .44 Mag lately, vacillating between SA and DA, primarily Ruger. I've reach the point of diminishing theoretical comprehension. My LGS has a Redhawk (model 5004)- it is gorgeous, feels balanced, and is .44 Mag (the caliber on which I've conclusively decided for...

Is the GP100 Match Champion as robust (build quality) as the GP100? My LGS has both in stock and I'm jonesing for a versatile revolver for HD and for range target shooting (both in .38 and .357). Can the Match Champion handle the same heavy .357 as the GP100?

I know there are other archived threads here related to this subject but I'm curious specifically about the Ruger Blackhawk (SA .357). I keep going back and forth between a Ruger Blackhawk and a Ruger Super Blackhawk (.357 vs. 44 Mag, 4 5/8-5.50 inch barrels) as a lower 48 woods protection-only...

Does anyone have the G29? If so, what are your general impressions? I had the G20 and liked it; it was easy to shoot and very accurate. Does the G29 kick like a donkey?

I just picked up a set of Trijicon HDs (yellow)- they are quick on target and I like the glow. However the rear sight, as many have mentioned, is darn near razor sharp. I've already scraped my forearm and anticipate I could be slicing through some clothing while carrying concealed. Option one-...

Last week I started a mini-firestorm on another forum by asking if the 5.7x45 was a good defensive/counter-attack round to use in a "Paris-like attack" scenario (contingent on having a 5.7-capable handgun as your carry piece). My takeaway from that very informative thread is that most are better...

I've have a number of Glocks, but I've whittled down my "go-to" Gs to my 17 and brand new 26 in BFG. I bounced between the 19 and then 43 for my EDC, but after experiencing grip-based FTF and FTE with the 43 (my thumb kept hitting the slide stop lever), I decided it was time to get the 26. I'm...

I'm considering the Cyber Monday purchase of an IWI case for my Tavor and I'm trying to decide between the Complete and Multi-Gun. Thoughts? It looks like the Multi-Gun may have a little less overall functional capacity but it's hard to tell from the pictures. I look forward to replies from...

What is the best tool kit for magazine disassembly, specifically for Glock? I want to start doing it on my own, rather than going to my local shop. But the Glock mags are a pain to take apart, so I want the best tools. Is it something like this?

Which would you prefer as a wood's handgun? (edited to add) For hunting, hiking, self-defense, etc... Let's say you don't have a rifle with you... Glock 20 in 10mm S&W revolver in .44 mag

I did a cursory forum search on this subject and and nothing readily popped up, so here goes: What is your preferred HD load for your shotgun? I have a Remington 870 HD pump with a 6 shot side saddle (although I'm considering a Mossberg 930; I wouldn't mind slightly less recoil). I've...

What are some suggestions for range (indoor and outdoor) binoculars? Preferably something rather compact to fit in the range bag or a vest pocket. To narrow down the suggestions, let's say less than $200. Thank you!
