    Soft target penetration: 9mm carbine vs .223 carbine

    I was curious to see what people thought would penetrate more, or over penetrate if you will. A 9mm FMJ, or a .223 FMJ both shot out of 16 inch barrels. I am on the fence about this one, and can't figure out which one would penetrate more. I figure the 9mm is heaver, but the .223 is faster...

    Ruger SR556 for first AR?

    I am about to pull the trigger on a Ruger SR556 as my first AR. I added up the costs and it's about the same price if I built it to the specs I want it. The Ruger comes exactly how I would build one if I built my own. Plus the soft case and 3 Pmags is a deal sweatener. I'm aware of the...

    Talk me into (or out of) a Savage 10 FCP-K

    So I've had the itch to buy something new lately, and my handgun bases are covered. That leads me to rifles, and I'm not ready for the money pit that an AR-15 will likely become. After doing the research for the past couple of weeks, I think I have it narrowed down to the Savage 10 FCP-K in...

    Project Gun: CZ 75B SA

    Well I'm tired of waiting for a decent priced, quality, 1911 in 9mm, so I think I'm going to start tinkering with my CZ 75B SA. I was thinking about building up my RIA tac. but I will buy a better 1911 someday instead of upgrading, because after it's all said and done I could have just bought...

    Need some Shotgun advice

    So I am looking at shotguns again, as it's the only thing (for now) missing from my meager collection. This gun would be for fun at the range and possibly HD. I have owed a couple in the past that just sat in the safe, so they found new homes one way or another. I am ready to buy another one...

    Ruger LCP for $300 or Kel-Tec P3AT for $280?

    My shop finally has LCPs in stock and I got a chance to hold one, and I am impressed. I am looking at this for pocket carry when I am at home and work. I have never really considered a gun for pocket carry, but I really like the little Ruger. Is the internal quality about the same? The fit...

    AR advice needed

    For all the AR experts out there, I think I might be ready to get started on one. I have never really liked the AR platform but with all of it's versitility it's starting to grow on me. What do I need to know? Can I slap any complete upper on any complete lower? What if I want a 9mm upper...

    Just Because?

    You ever buy a gun because you think you should own one to "round out" the collection? I bought my GP100 and my 1911 for that same reason but now that justification is evolving. Last month I found myself wanting a Glock 19 just for the sake of having one, even though they don't fit my hand...

    Does this look cracked?

    I think thats a cylinder crack, but it could just be an imperfection. It says it's new, but it looks used to me. Either way, you couldnt pay me to shoot that thing. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=136850717

    Glock Knife?

    I just ran across these and I would like to know if anyone has one. They seem (look) cheaply made. Opinions?

    Lasermax Uni-max Rail laser, any one got one?

    I just got the Midway mailer and the Lasermax Uni-max is a decent price right now and I'm considering it. It's the rail mounted one, not the guide rod. Does anyone have any experience with one? $160 bucks isn't a ton of money I just want to know if they are worth it. Thanks in advance. -Dan

    I won some money, which sub $300 gun?

    Well the roulette tables were good to me last night, so I'm now cleared to buy another gun with the winnings. My first thought was a Bersa .380, but with the price of .380 ammo eclipsing .45 ammo I am having second thoughts. I also thought about a Makarov clone as well, or maybe a novelty gun...

    Bullet chart

    I did a search and didn't come up with anything so I figured I'd share this. Mods, if you are able to make it bigger that would be great, I just recently learned how to load pics, so I'm not too keen how to do stuff like that.

    Wilson Combat 1911 Buffer. Anyone use them?

    Quick question, I bought a bushing wrench from Midway not to long ago and during checkout they recomended Wilson Combat Shock-Buff recoil buffers. They were cheap so I said what the hell and ordered a pack. Has anyone had any experience with this product good or bad? Thanks in advance. The...

    Beach this weekend but don't wan't to leave the gun at home

    I am going to the beach this weekend for SWMBOs birthday, and I don't like the idea of leaving the gun at home. I don't think I would need it for any reason, I just like the idea of always being prepared. I don't have a carry permit so my main concern is leaving it at the beach house...

    What else do I need?

    I have been accumulating for a while now and I have all my major bases covered. (I think) The only thing I dont own is a shotgun, and that's because I just sold one that I NEVER shot. I know, I know, it's ideal for HD but I go a different route. That said, what do I still need? So far we...
