    Glock ?

    Ive been thinking about getting a Glock 32 and heard somewhere that you can swap the barrel with a G23 and it will shoot .40. Is this true?

    3D Blue Ammo ?

    I was at a gun store today and saw a box of 3D Blue (I think that was the name) .45 auto 230gr. JHP 50rd box. Well since I have never heard of this ammo before I decided to do some research before buying. All the guy behind the counter could tell me was " It looks old".

    Beretta PX4 Storm .45acp

    Ordered this on 04/22 so it should be getting to the dealer today/tomorrow. So I wanted reviews from other Px4 storm owners on how theirs is holding up. Maybe some suggestions on holsters (mainly for uspsa). I have shot the px4 in 9mm before and really like the feel. I did notice on the spec...

    Quick question

    I ordered a Px4 storm .45 on 04/22 (day I sent money order and ffl). Gun was shipped yesterday 04/24 via usps ground. Now my question is why couldn't I fill out the 4473 now instead of waiting for it to actually arrive at the gun store? The reason I'm asking is because I still have to wait 3...

    Illinois state police suggestions

    I was at the range about two weeks ago talking to one of ROs and Illinois laws came up in the conversation. He informed me that the state police recommend women to carry a nail file, comb, keys and a tongue depressor to ward off an attack. I asked what the tongue depressor was for? He said they...

    Beretta PX4 Storm .45acp

    Can anyone give me some names/phone numbers of gun stores who are selling these for a reasonable price, maybe $500.00-$530.00 range. I know before I left Texas they were selling pretty cheap. But, in Illinois I have only found one and it was a little expensive. Also there seem to be only three...

    On my way to the Range today and I noticed that the local skeet/trap club was open and pretty crowded. So I go in and ask the guy at the counter prices and then ask if there are any barrel length requirements. The guy says no. So then I explain that its an 18" barrel pump shotgun. The guy says...

    Need Ideas.

    Well I finally had a chance to visit the shooting range/club I recently joined. While I was there one of the range officers informed me that I need to bring my own target stands to shoot buckshot/slugs.

    What would you do ?

    Recently I was at a local gun store and overheard a guy explaining the difference between a Glock 21 sf and a Springfield XDM to his gf. My question is if you heard someone giving false or incomplete information to a third person would you say something or mind your own business ?
