    Pocket-ability of Kahr pm40

    I am looking into buying a Kahr pm40. I already own a p40, but it isn't small enough to pocket carry. I need a small pistol that is fairly unnoticiable when slipped into my front jeans pocket. I know the pm40 is smaller than the p40, but is it a big enough difference that it will allow me to...

    STG-556 accessories

    I have recently purchased an STG-556 made by MSAR (a Steyr AUG clone) and am having a hard time finding accessories for it. This gun is bare at the moment, besides for an optics rail and a couple of 42rd mags. Does anyone know where I can find accessories for this rifle? I am planning on buying...

    I stole a gun today

    Not really, but kinda. I traded my beat up S&W Bodyguard straight-up for a brand new Glock 37 today, and I'm pretty sure I got the better deal out of the trade. :D I can't wait to shoot this gun. Full-sized 45GAP...

    Why is the 40sw round snappy?

    Simple, straightforward question. Why is the 40sw round snappier than 9mm and 45acp?

    Rounded bullets vs flat-nosed bullets

    What are the pros and cons of these 2 bullet shapes? Does one offer better performance than the other? I ask this because fmj 9mm and 45acp bullets are rounded, but fmj 40sw bullets always have flat tips, and i'm not sure why they're different. Thanks, Jd

    good penetration, vs. overpenetration

    I see a lot of this in forums when people are talking about different calibers. Some calibers do not penetrate far enough & some calibers have the potential to overpenetrate. Is there a caliber/bullet configuration that consistently stays within the recommended amount of penetration?

    tell me about reloading

    Due to the cost of ammo, I do not shoot my handguns as much as I want/need to. This is especially true since I bought my .44 :D. I am thinking about starting to 'roll my own'. Would you guys mind educating me on the subject? How much does a basic setup cost? How long does it take to turn out...

    tell me about the .327 mag

    I am looking at buying a new revolver and just got done reading a wikipedia article on it. I've seen the .327 cartridge mentioned a few times but haven't found out too much about it. Please inform me about this cartride and guns that are chambered in it.

    just got my Super Blackhawk, anything I should know?

    I just picked up my 50th Anniversary Ruger Super blackhawk yesterday. This is my first single-action revolver, so my knowledge of the gun is minimal. I am hoping that you guys & gals can fill me in on anything that I may need to or should know about this particular gun, or single-actions in...

    Ruger Super Blackhawk, your opinion

    I've pretty much decided that my next gun is going to be a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44mag, maybe even the 50th anniversary edition. But before I buy it, I would like to know your opinions on this beautiful gun. I also cannot decide whether to get the 7.5 or 10.5 inch barrel.

    .357mag vs .44mag

    I might be in the market for a new revolver. I will be using it as a range gun and for deer hunting. My question is, how much more powerful is the .44 compared to the .357? Is the .44 in an entirely different league than the .357? I already own a Ruger GP100 in .357, and I want to make sure that...

    why no Hi-Power in .45?

    I have been looking at purchasing a Browning Hi-Power lately, and would absolutely pick the .40 version over the 9mm version. But my question is, why has the gun not been made in a .45 caliber version? Its a gun that has been extremely popular for over 100 years, yet is only available in 2...

    my GLOCK is now perfect

    I got a Glock 23 3rd gen about a month ago and fell in love with it right away. But it wasn't exactly perfect out of the box. I ordered an extended mag release, extended slide release, handall grip, backstrap plug, and stainless steel guide rod. I finally got them all installed and my Glock is...

    first 1911, AO WWII reproduction

    I am not big on shiny, tricked out 1911's, but would like to own one because of their unmatched reputation. I've been looking around, and just can't seem to like the look of any other 1911 more than I like the look of the Auto Ordnance 1911 WWII reproduction. This gun is simple, but sticks out...

    GP100 front sight removal problem

    The instructions say to just depress the plunger and the front sight just lifts off, but the sight will not budge no matter how hard down I press on the plunger. Any recommendations?

    is Kahr catching on?

    I just finished reading through a few threads. Most were about suggestions for new guns, and a lot of people recommended varying Kahrs. I love my Kahr P40, and always thought Kahr overall was underrated. Have Kahr's finally cemented itself as a top-of-the-line gun manufacturer?

    looking for Bushmaster xm15 parts

    I need to buy a collapsible stock and some magazines for my Bushmaster XM-15 e2s but am not sure how to search for them. Do I just search under ar-15 accessories? I guess what I'm trying to ask is, are all ar-15 parts/accessories interchangeable? This is my first rifle of any type, so as of now...

    Bushmaster XM15 A2, educate me

    Fellow forum members, tell me about this gun. I am thinking about purchasing this rifle used from a buddy but I do not know much about it. It is equipped with a nice scope and overall looks fairly good, a little beat up but about 85%. Also, in front of the upper reciever, on the beginning of...

    educate me, Savage 7mm

    My brother just became the new owner of a Savage 7mm with a scope. Neither of us know anything about this rifle. I would like to get some opinions from other owners/previous owners about this rifle (uses, effectiveness of 7mm cartridge, overall feelings about the gun). Thanks Everyone Jd
