So I’ve got the bug again. I want a new revolver- specifically a Colt, and specifically a 6shot capacity. My question is do I get an old Colt detective special .38? Or the new Colt Cobra .38? Any thoughts? My impulse is to go with the detective special, not only is it a classic piece of history...

My carry gun is Walther PPS m2, currently use a SofTuk holster. I'd like to maybe get a kydex holster, but it must be tuckable. Any recommendations?

I was looking at getting another .22 to use with my new shooters, younger brother, wife and daughters (when they're older), and decided to get one in color. I like that it's hammer fired dbl/sgl action for when they're a light strikes with .22 ammo. Just pull the trigger again! Super small and...

Ever since I started buying guns a few years ago, I've always told myself I would never sell any that I purchased. Every gun I bought for a reason and without a critical reason to sell, I wouldn't sell any. Well, here's a dilemma. I received a Walther PPS m2 from my dad for Christmas that he...

Which to get first? I'm gonna get them both eventually but I want to add a little .22 semi auto to my collection, especially since I've been taking new shooters out recently. I want a Beretta Bobcat with the tipup barrell, but I also want a Ruger model like a 22/45 or a mark 2 or 3. I feel like...

Hi all, I just went to the range today and shot my XD mod 2 9mm today along with my Walther PPS 9mm. As usual, I love the PPS. Great fit in my hands, great sight picture, wonderful trigger, etc. And then there's my XD. Several times now I've taken it and been unimpressed with how squishy (for...

A ruger 10/22. I surf gunbroker for fun a lot of the time and when there's a good deal within my "fun money" price I usually bid on it, even if I don't win I still enjoy it. Wellll, today I won. It turns out my first rifle will be a ruger 10/22 .22lr. I'm excited to pick it up. Sure it's only...

Hi there, I have a question. If I had a 1911 full sized pistol, and wished to open carry in condition 1 (cocked and locked), are there any holster options for OWB with level 2 retention? This is a theoretical question as I do not own a 1911 yet. I'm just curious if there are holster options...

Hello all, here's the deal. My wife got her CPL the same time as I did but she doesn't usually carry. Originally I bought the XD for me and the PPS for her, but since she doesn't carry it I've pretty much adopted it (and love it). She definitely isn't as into guns as I am, though I have rubbed...

Hello, I've taken a few people shooting since I've gotten my guns, and even before that my friends and I would go rent at the range for a fun evening sometimes, and it seems that a lot of people have trouble loading magazines without assistance (either from me or from a speed loader). It...

Hi there! I've done a lot of research prior to starting reloading, and I'm finally getting everything in order to begin. Collecting prices from different stores and manufacturers, putting together my shopping list, etc. But should I begin with .45acp instead of 9mm? My next pistol is going to...

Hello all! My current fascination has been with historic top-break revolvers. I love the look of them, the way they operate, and the history behind them. I was wondering what was reasonably available on the market these days. Schofields? Webley? I know Smith and Wesson had several models...

Hello all, I was wondering what a young 23 year old guy like me can do to help protect our 2nd amendment rights. I believe we have several laws attempting to be passed at the moment which would restrict "assault rifles" and regulate round count for pistols, etc. (I live in Washington state)...

I don't really like the look of the hammerless revolvers like the LCR, and yet as I've considered picking up a J-Frame snub recently, I've been thinking of the benefits of having the hammer exposed versus not, and it seems for a snub like the LCR or a similar gun that perhaps it is better to...

I'm gonna be doing a lot of interstate traveling soon for the holidays and I was wondering how many of you would get the Utah CC permit or other states (if possible)? Typically I don't do a lot of travel out of the state, but I'm thinking about getting one for the occasions when I do. My...

The next gun on my list is gonna be a wheel gun. But there are many types I'm considering. Rugers, Smiths, etc., and for sure I will be buying more than one in the next year, so this isn't going to be my only gun, just first revolver out of many. Use: really just to have and shoot at the range...

I think and dream a lot about buying different guns. I've shot an HK USPc .45 multiple times and I keep thinking I really wanted one. Well, last time I rented some guns I tried an Hk USP and yes I liked it. Then I shot the HK VP9 and I loved that. So I mentally put the USP back on the shelf...

Hello, I made the AK or AR poll for first rifle and a lot of responses were buy a .22 rifle first. I was already planning to get one, and so I figured I would look into buying it before the other one. But I'm not really sure what to look for. I'd want a nice trigger for sure. But bolt action...

Hey all, I am looking forwards to purchasing a rifle (may not be soon, but definitely excited!), and I was wondering what the pros and cons would be for buying an AK (74? 47?) or just an AR-15? I'm fairly neutral, just a little experience with ar15, and never touched an AK. Maintenance is...

Hi all, is it better to train to release the slide with your supporting hand manually when doing an emergency reload, or use the slide release? I tend to like the slide release much better then manually racking the slide with my hand. I own an XD mod 2 in 9mm and the other guns I'm looking at...
