I picked up a used X300 this week for $100 shipped to my door. I am really happy with it. It slides onto the rail and clips into place, then removing it is as simple as pinching a lever and sliding it off. Miles above the inexpensive S&W light that I had previously, which was a lot harder to...

I am in the market for a pocket pistol. My primary requirement is that it be extremely concealable. This will not be a primary carry weapon, but only to fill the gaps when I really can not pack anything larger than what fits in a front pocket. Naturally reliability is important, but I am less...

I am in the market for a .22LR handgun, and I've decided I want it to be a revolver. I don't want to mess with magazines or feeding issues with cheap ammo in semi-automatics. The purpose for the gun will be primarily range use, plinking, and occasionally dispatching small critters. I have...

The Heckler & Koch P2000sk is a subcompact version of the P2000 pistol. The P2000 is essentially a redesigned USP Compact, with the biggest difference appearing to be ergonomics. I acquired my P2000sk in a constantly evolving search for the perfect carry gun. Over time, I've come to the...

Interested in getting a weapon for my girlfriend to use for HD when I am not home. I have a 12 gauge 870, but she has never fired it and refuses to because she is worried about the recoil. She has fired an AR-15 and enjoyed it, but doesn't want one for HD. Handguns are out of the question at...

Like many of you, I was brought into the world of guns by my dad when I was very young. These days, he doesn't have a lot of handguns anymore, but he always talks about a 1911 he owned 20 years ago and how amazingly it shot, and how much he regrets selling it. He wouldn't buy himself a...

I find these reviews to be super helpful when I am researching guns, especially when I can find one directly comparing two guns I am considering. This will be my attempt to give back to the community by comparing these two 9mm carry choices that are both very popular. Features Triggers Sights...

I am in the market for a new carry gun. I got a Ruger SR9c as my first gun and have been carrying that for the last 7 months. It's in the shop again, and I've been carrying my Walther PPS in the mean time. This time around, I have a much better idea of what I want. I've gone through several...

I always love introducing new shooters to our hobby. I've taken my girlfriend as well as a couple other people who haven't shot before, and feel good about giving others the opportunity. But those times, it was more about trying something new for those people, and they weren't necessarily...

Posted this in another thread, but now that the gun is going back to the factory, I wanted to start a new one. I always like to document these things, because I find them the most useful when I am researching a new purchase. History: SR9c first gun, had to go back after 300 or so rounds for...

So I know the prevailing opinion is Glock 26. There are threads with this same question in the past. However, I have a unique scenario and I'm wondering if its worth it for me to switch from an SR9c I already have to a Glock 26 I don't. I have an SR9c, it was my first gun and has been my EDC...

In my experience talking to trainers, range officers, and otherwise people who carry for a living, the most common choices of CCW for these people has been the Sig P229 followed by the Glock 17 or 19. I've never seen one of these people carry a Glock 26, XDm Compact, SR9c, Walther PPS, etc...

I'm looking to get into reloading .223 for an AR-15 and .308 for a bolt-gun. I like the simplicity of stocking as few components as possible. Looking for recommendations on one powder I can use to reload both these cartridges.

Last week in my area we had a bit of a heat wave, even breaking a record for high temperature on one day. Concealing my SR9c with just a t-shirt was something I hadn't contended with for a while, and I found myself wishing I owned a true pocket gun. After evaluating several options, and all...

Hi all, I am in the market for a 9mm pocket pistol. I went to my favorite LGS and talked to the owner for a while, during which time I looked at a Kahr CM9, Ruger LC9, Diamondback DB9, and Keltec PF9. We both agreed the CM9 was the nicest choice of those for a variety of reasons. I'm not...

Ok so I've decided on caliber, manufacturer, and action. I want a Savage bolt action .308, under $1,000. However, I am having a lot of trouble deciding which one. I have seen a lot of recommendations for the "Savage 10", but when I look at their website I see 16 different guns with model 10...

Just wondering if anyone has used any of the Raven Concealment clones out there (Crown Concealment, Bravo concealment, etc), and if you can comment on whether they are up to the same quality as Raven. The 16-18 week lead time is a pretty big turn off.

If there is one thing I have learned in my relatively short time as a gun owner, it is don't compromise on the guns you buy. This doesn't necessarily mean buy the BEST gun out there, but it does mean buy the gun you REALLY want, not one sorta like it. I have been tempted by the guns that I...

When I started shooting I bought a cheap, do-all cleaning kit by Gunslick with solvent, lube, and various sized tools. It was like $12, you know the kind. After a while I confused the solvent with the lube and dumped it all over the floor. So it was time for a new bottle of solvent. I bought...

I'm looking for a good leather belt on a budget. I currently wear a 5.11 Rigger's belt, it has two problems. First, you always lose about half an inch of tightness when closing it with the resistance style buckle, and second, the girlfriend hates it. So I want a leather belt that can still...
