Greetings all, I’m wondering if anyone knows a source with good prices on USGI M-1 Carbine magazines. I’d be interested in a dozen or so 15 rounders and probably a similar number of 30 rounders. Any guidance would be a big help. Thanks in advance.

I just got back from an initial break in session with my brand new K-9 (Remmington 1187 worked over in various ways). I am mostly a pistol guy. I have, in my life, put perhaps 3 dozen rounds through various shotguns. I am as far from an experienced shotgun hand as you can get. I ran four...

From Jane's Police and Security Equipment 1 August 2001 Less than lethal options and the Advanced Taser Mike McBride Editor, Jane's Police and Security Equipment Following calls for the British police to be routinely armed in the aftermath of the Broadwater Farm Disorder, London, in 1985...

Greetings all, I'm looking to begin shooting at some local plate matches. They explicitly state that no FMJ is allowed. I shoot 9mm and generally use Blazer 115 gr for practice, so my normal load seems ill-suited for this use. I'm trying to understand what non-FMJ options are out there which...

Greetings all, I just returned last night from Massad Ayoob's Lethal Force Institute. I was there for the 40 hour LFI-I course. The following is a brief read on my impressions. I brought two P7M8s and an Alessi CQC/S holster for the class. Expectations: I had heard from multiple sources...

Greetings all, I just returned from a trip to the range in which I conducted a very unscientific experiment. The objective here was to familiarize myself with two new-to-my-collection pistols as well as to compare the performance of several defensive 9mm loads. I had a variety of ammunition...

Greetings all, Just picked up my new-to-me USC in 45 ACP. Very excited to get to the range and try it out. The original owner stated that he only fired the carbine during one secession putting about 50 rounds through the weapon. Since I'm just getting started on the long gun side of things...

Greetings all, Just picked up a gently used PC9 (standard sights) on Friday. Came in the original cardboard Ruger box with one Ruger 10 rnd mag and two no-name 15 rd. mags. No manual or other papers. Price was $299. This is my first long gun and first Ruger product. Purpose is range fun...

Greetings all, Looks like I'll be picking up a Ruger PC9 on Friday. It'll be the first long gun I've owned. Uses will be range fun and perhaps some steel plates. NO serious defensive use envisioned. I have a number of questions that fall into several categories: - Cleaning and...

Found an offer on an M3 in new unfired condition but with no box for $850. I'm checking with the seller on status of manual, accessories, etc. Does this sound like a generally reasonable price? Any inputs apreciated as I am mostly a pistol guy. I'm in Mass. and would like to pick one of...

All, Hoping someone can give me some insight on this. I'm looking at an offer of a used Springfield 1911A1, Blued, in 9mm, Essex frame, with night sights and four magazines. I'll find out more details on the particulars (manufacture of mags, brand and age of sights, etc.) in the coming days...

All, Just found out today that I have a new job in Cambridge which I am very excited about. Although I'm not yet sure of exactly where we'll be living, I can say with certainty that we'll be heading out from our current digs in Hampton Roads Virginia to somewhere in the metro Boston area. I...

Greetings all! My NIB P225 with k-kote and night sights has arrived. Since I just took possession of another pistol, the Commonwealth of Virginia is going to make me wait 30 days. I'll live. Since I've got some time, I want to make sure my planned efforts are in line with the practices of...

Just found out that some of the targets at the Blackwater IDPA match will be steel. They will need to be knocked down in order to be counted as neutralized. Normally, on cardboard, 115 grain 9mm out of my P7M8 is just fine. Against steel, the organizer suggested I bring some +P or heavier weight...

All, Greetings! I've got a friend and colleague who just purchased a Sig 239 in 9mm ($570 NIB with SigLights - seemed pretty good to me). He's very excited and intends to use the pistol for CCW. I'm going to take him to the range to put some defensive loads through the gun to see what it...

All, I've been using my P7M8 for local IDPA matches with great success and plan on taking it down to Blackwater Lodge for the IDPA shoot Aug 12-13. Since I've never used the P7 in an outdoor match, I'm a bit concerned about dropping my magazines in the dirt. I have several magazines which are...
