    Anyone own a famous/celebrity gun?

    I know that several people on here have some extensive gun collections. I was curious if anyone happen to have in their collections a famous firearm or one owned by a celebrity?

    Shoot n' C Targets

    I had seen them around for years but never actually tried them until about a year ago. I always figured they were kind of a gimmick or waste of money. Then a buddy of mine had one and I tried it out just for fun. Now, I am hooked on them. I just love not having to run my indoor targets back or...

    Almost Vomited

    I was reading the May 2012 Shooting Times. I was looking at some of the new model guns for 2012. Then it happened.... I turned to page 34 and saw it! The Mossberg 464 SPX leveraction rifle. I have never seen something so stomach-turningly ugly in a gun magazine. If you're brave, stupid or just...

    Pistol Racks

    I am thinking about getting a pistol rack or two for my gun safe. I would like to read about (and even better see pics) of some of the ones you guys have at home. Also, I have seen the holders that hang them on the inside of the door. Those maybe of interest too.

    Powerful Revolvers = Muscle Cars of the Gun World

    I was just sitting around thinking about the way the powerful revolvers are somewhat like the firearm equivilant of classic muscle cars. If you think about it, they have some "similar" character traits and performance features. Both were the biggest and baddest things when first released. Both...

    Flintlock/Percussion Pistol Kits

    I would like to have a set of antique style duelling pistols. Unfortunately, the real ones are extremely expensive. (Also, I would be a little hesitant to shoot them given the uncertain quality of steel from the era.) I haven't had any good luck finding a pair of modern production ones, which...

    What Guns Do You Still Need?

    Over the past few years, I have been fortunate enough to expand the size of my collection to a (IMHO) respectable size with a nice variety too. When I think about, what guns do I still have a strong desire (not just "kinda want") to add to the collection; there is really only a couple that come...

    Question about Sig Pistol

    I was reading another article on the forum and someone mentioned the SIG P220 pistol is not allowed in IDPA. I did a very quick google search and admittedly only skimped the results for an answer. However, I didn't really see anything (that got to the point of) stating why it is not permitted...

    If you could shoot WITH any President?

    Since it's an election year, I am going to ask the question once again. If you could shoot WITH any President, who would you pick?

    Can someone provide some ballistic comparisions of the 7.62x39mm (Soviet) and the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge. Thank you.

    SASS Shotgun Question

    I am looking into getting a Stoeger coach gun for fun and eventually (perhaps) shooting in an occassional SASS match. So, I was wondering if the models with the rubber buttpad are permitted?

    .308 Rifle HELP!

    Sooner or later this year, I plan to buy a rifle in .308 for general tacti-cool foolishness and simply because I want one. I am having a difficult time deciding on what to purchase. I want to buy a NEW gun (or LNIB). I do NOT like the AR platform, so it's not even an option. Nor do I want...

    What do you do...

    What do you do with all the plastic cases that come with your new handguns? I have like a dozen of them laying around the place. I never use them BUT can't bring myself to throw them away.

    M1A: Standard or Scout Squad

    Other than the barrel length what (if any) are the differences between the Springfield Armory M1A Standard and the Scout Squad model rifles? The only thing I can see is the Scout Squad seem to have a built in rail for optics. Are they different internally or anything?

    1911 Trigger Swap?

    I own a Spingfield Armory Mil Spec 1911 Stainless in .45acp and my wife owns a Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 Stainless in 9mm. The problem is she has VERY small hands and finds the 3-hole trigger on the Loaded difficult to reach but can use the short trigger on the Mil Spec without any...

    Reasons to get an M-14

    My next rifle purchase will probably be something in .308 cartridge. I really do not want/like/care/etc for the AR platform. My top pick as of now is the M-14. I have considered the PTR-91 as well but there is just something about the M-14 that attracts me. All that said, I don't really have any...

    SpeedFeed III/IV Stock???

    Anyone own or have experience using a SpeedFeed III or IV shotgun stock? I'm thinking about installing one on by 870. I wanted to know if you felt like it was an improvement over the regular factory stock.

    Just for a change of pace...

    Just for a change of pace, let's discuss some GOOD things about Taurus. I don't own any of them (probably won't ever) BUT a few friends of mine have had pretty good luck with some of their revolvers. (But one had a lemon too.) Also, I feel that they do make SOME models that are/should be...

    GP100 in .357

    I was curious, how you guys feel the GP100 compares to the S&W 686? Just an overall general side by side type comparision. Which one had a better this and that. If someone owns both that would be great.
