I've been helping an old friend clean up and function check his guns that have been locked away for quite some time. I admit, I know very little about revolvers... so I wanted to see if I could get any info on this old S&W .22LR. All I really know is that this gentleman's father carried it...

I recently started prepping cases and what not in order to load up some .40S&W. My 180gr FMJ bullets arrived last week so I got busy reading past threads on everyone's favorite powder for the .40... I ended up grabbing a pound of Unique to get started with. Here is the issue... My reloading...

Took my Glock 23 out to the range this weekend to try out a few reloads I had worked up. I recently swapped the factory barrel out for a Storm Lake barrel just to be on the safe side when it came to reloading 40 S&W. Let me first just say that I have NEVER had an issue with my Glock in stock...

Quick question... I have a Romanian SAR-1 and need to pick up a few more 30rd magazines. The 2 that I currently have are all steel with followers that have the built in bolt stop. Just curious if you guys have any preference on magazines... Tapco, Yugo, Bulgarian, etc... ??

Anyone have any first hand knowledge or experience with the bushmaster carbon 15 M4s? I have a good LEO friend who is looking at one for his patrol rifle. I believe it is supposed to be lighter than the standard aluminium AR's... but that's about all I know.

I was browsing at a local pawn shop and came across a little Iver Johnson TP .22 pistol that looked to be in good to fair condition. Can anyone tell me anything about this gun? They're asking $174.99 for the gun and 3 factory mags. Thought it might make a neat little pocket gun... but...

I'm thinking about adding to the handgun collection in the near future. As of right now I have a Glock 23, H&K P7, and a Sig 239 (9mm). All are about the same size and can be used for CCW. Lately I've been thinking about something more concealable for jogging, business attire, and maybe even...

I'm refinishing the wood furniture on mine right now. Hope to have some pics up soon. In the meantime, if you're up for a little "show and tell" then let's see them!

Ok, well not really a safety feature... but I've had my 239 DAK for a while now. I'm a fan of the DAK trigger now that I'm used to it. Anyway, if you are familiar with the DAK Sigs you know that if you dry fire the gun each trigger pull is HEAVY. The hammer goes completely forward after each...

I had a client in my office today that I have known for the past 6 years. Although he is old enough to be my grandfather and I consider him a close friend. Just a great guy all around, served in WWII, and grew up around guns. However, he's been out of the loop for a while now and is...

Right now I'm set up to reload 9mm, 40sw, .223, and .30 carbine. I will be getting an AK soon and was curious to see if anyone reloads 7.62 x 39. I've been checking prices on brass and bullets an it doesn't seem like reloading this caliber would be cost effective... Any thoughts or suggestions...

With the help of a fellow forum member I was recently able to get a good deal on a SAR-1. I'm a total newb when it comes to AK varients sooo I'm curious to find out what kind of ammo you guys prefer for basic range use. I also reload, and would like to start reloading 7.62. I know that most...

I was thinking about this the other day. OC is legal where I live. I've had my CCW for a couple years now and have never carried in the open unless out in the woods or at home. Most of my holsters are IWB becasue they conceal easier for me... So just for fun, lets say I decided to OC for a...

I think I've decided that I really don't need another AK or "battle rifle" or FAL or "insert high-cap, semi-auto here" to go along with my AR and M1 Carbine. At least not right now. :) I'm focusing more on a nice / decent bolt action rifle that I can use for hunting game such as deer, elk...

Alright, I'm pretty new to reloading and haven't focused much on getting good groups yet. My main concern thus far is that I leave the range with all the fingers I brought in with me. So far so good. Today I deciced to try out my loads and see what kind of group I could get at 25 yards...

I'm currently getting set up to reload 40 S&W. Any suggestions on bullet weight to go with for paper punching? I also have a Lee Auto Disk powder measure, so any suggestions on a powder that will measure consistently would be great! Thanks

I was at my local gun shop today and got to handle an AK for the first time. I fell in love with the simplicity and ruggedness of the rifle. I'm also a big fan of the classic wood furniture. I decided I want one:) I need suggestions on what to look for in a quality AK. It doesn't need to...

I actually found 500 small pistol primers at my local "Ma & Pa" reloading shop just outside of town. I think it was just a case of good timing... They usually had a decent stock of primers until recently, and well has been pretty dry since. Anyhow, I picked up the last of 500 Federal small...

Got a new Storm Lake barrel for my Glock 23. Looks good, shoots great! What do I need to know before I start reloading 40S&W for my Glock? Is the brass that was shot from my factory Glock barrel safe to reload? Is lead ok to shoot through the Storm Lake barrel? Thanks!

I have recently been reloading alot of 9mm 115gr FMJ for plinking at the range. One of the guns I shoot quite often is my HK P7... Is there anything out of the ordinary that I should consider when reloading for the P7? Just curious...
