I shot the new XDm .45 Compact 3.8 pretty extensively yesterday, and it's pretty darn sweet. I'll get the video posted soon. Just wanted to weigh in favorably on a gun a lot of people are curious about, I think. I'll shoot it a great deal more and do some comparisons, as well. Thanks, Hickok45

Hey guys, I'm contemplating the 300 Blackout and thought I might order an upper to put on my Bushmaster XM15. I'm assuming that even though the Bushmaster is about 12 years old, the new uppers in this caliber would fit the gun just fine? Anyway, I see that MidwayUSA has them in various price...

Don't know how many people care about the longer pistols, but I took delivery on the Springfield XDm 9 5.25 yesterday and put it through its paces. We'll post the video in a day or two, but I bought a 250 pack of UMC Remington and shot just virtually all of it. I'm impressed; this thing is...

As many of you already know, I've done one video with the SR1911 and will be shooting and documenting it further. At this point, I'm pleased with the gun. I've shot somewhere between 200 and 300 rounds through it to date. It feels really good, has good sights, and I like the trigger. As I...

Hi, I'm planning to do my usual Hickok45 style video "review" of the GL22 Gen 4 tomorrow or Monday. I've fired it and messed with it for a couple of days now. I'll do mostly what I usually do in a video (show, shoot, & discuss), but I thought I'd see if anybody had anything in particular they'd...

I'm known more as a Glock guy but have recently ventured into Kahr territory, mainly because Glock does not make a P380 or PM9 size pistol. My question is, have you more experienced Kahr owners/shooters of these two guns (PM9 & P380) discovered any type of ammunition, hollow points especially...

I'm not a huge fan of the 10/22, but I have one my father gave me long ago. The barrel band has broken a couple of times over the years, and I can't seem to easily find one after checking around a bit. I'm not looking for anything "tactical," just pretty much a standard barrel band. Maybe one...

I'm a long-time AR owner and have never owned a Mini-14. I've always liked the look and feel of it, being a M1-A/M14 fan. It seemed that back in the '80s nobody was pleased with magazine availability, and I keep hearing negative reports on the accuracy. The Mini 30, as I understand, doesn't...

My blood runs Glock black and has since the '80s; however, I've thought about maybe adding one Sig (traded off my 226 & 220 years ago) back into the collection, just for kicks, probably a smallish 9mm or .40. Tell me, is there a model that has a good trigger that doesn't go from double to...

Most of us are quick to make it known when a company provides terrible service or a bad product. I have to give credit where credit is due; Colt got my recalled 1911 (1918 WWI model) back to me in just a few days! I dropped it off at FedEx Monday morning of this week (10:00 am). It arrived...

If you're a Glocker, what's your favorite Glock grip addition (slip-on/ stick-on)?? Having bought my first Glock in the '80s, I've used about everything on Glock grips, even though they work okay without anything. I shoot a great deal, though, and I want the best control I can get. We...

I have a 20-year-old Super 90 with the standard short barrel. Been meaning to get the longer barrel for it, one with screw-in choke capability. Anybody do any skeet or trap shooting with one of these? Or bird hunting? Mine is "evil black," of course, but I have changed out the pistol grip...

Don't know how many of you live on a small ranch or small farm, but what shotgun have you discovered as being best for farm work? I have my own opinions and experience with this, as you can see in the video link below. The Super 90 and 870 are favorites at this point. Hopefully, I'm not the...

I was wondering what changes you folks who own or work in gun shops are seeing in pistol buying trends due to the ammo and reloading supplies shortages. I know that I myself was dragging out the 9mm Glocks more often as ammo and supplies were escalating in price; however, the lack of...

I think one aspect of "The Art of the Rifle" is to instill in our young people an appreciation for historical military rifles. While I like the AR-15s and we own a couple, my son much prefers to put on his Garand ammo belt and shoot the Garand, or the M1-A, M1 Carbine, and WWII vintage 1911...

I recently switched my M1-A from the black figerglass stock to a USGI wooden stock. It sure feels and looks like I sneaked an old M14 out of the government armory. I rather like it. What sling did the gov. issue on the M14? Was it leather? Thanks, Greg

I took the heat shield off my M1-A for the first time since I've owned it yesterday, and I noticed some interesting markings on the top of the barrel. It was stamped Winchester 7700190 - Oct 63 - 39R I'm assuming this means the barrel was made by Winchester, in October of 1963 ? And...

Hey, am I just paranoid, or is it a no-no on an 18" SXS to cut the stock off, down to the pistol grip? I know you can buy a pump that is essentially the same thing, but I seem to have read or heard that it might not be legal to cut an old one down. Hopefully, I'm out-to-lunch on this, because...

Hi, I have an AR-15 (circa 1983) Pre-Ban in very nice shape. I'm thinking of trading it for another rifle. What are these babies worth these days? I've not seen one lately for sale.

Anybody load for the .38-55? I was thinking about making one of the Marlin Cowbody models in this caliber my own. What powder and bullets do you who have taken this plunge use? I reload and shoot a lot of .45 Colt and .45-70. Not sure why I "need" another old time caliber to shoot and reload...
