This is a newbie question, no doubt, but what is "keyholing"? It is not a term I am familiar with. Maybe I call it something else. Thanks.

My computerless friend just bought a Rossi 92 rifle in 45 Colt with a 24" barrel. He is asking me for a good full power (not hot, not Cowboy) load using 250gr LRN bullets. I figure someone here will have experience applicable to this issue. Please include any velocity numbers you may have. Any...

Have you ever done any modifications to any guns and then regretted them? I have not done any PERMANENT modifications that I regretted, but I did put a Tapco collapsible stock on a SKS and buy several detachable mags. Also I put a collapsible stock and pistol grip and a pistol grip fore end on a...

Which of the two in 40 cal? Pros and cons of each. I realize there is about $150 difference in the price new. I prefer DA/SA. This is why no Glocks, M&Ps, etc. I might even consider a Berretta 96A, but I am not too fond of the slide mounted safety on them. I just realized the FNX40 and the 96A...

Does anyone here have any experience with the Sig 227 yet? I am sort of interested in maybe getting one, but it is a pretty new model I believe. Just wondering if there were any problems with it as is often the case with a new model. Thanks.

What are some of your best favored loads for 45Colt full power loads? I am not talking about HOT loads, just full power loads. I have a Cowboy load that I am happy with now using Trailboss. I don't remember the exact load at the moment and am on vacation so can't check. Anyway I am using...

A friend of mine asked me about sources of lead for casting his own bullets. He says he used to use wheel weight or whatever he could find. I don't cast my own bullets, but I would be hesitant to use just whatever I could find. What are some good and economical sources for bullet cast worthy...

What is a high powered rifle? According to most news media an AR15 is. I consider it an intermediate powered rifle along with the 7.62x39. My high powered rifle is my 270 Winchester, but how would those who know about rifles classify the calibers? High, Intermediate, Low, etc.? Where do you draw...

One of the things that I like about DA/SA semi auto pistols is that a round can be chambered and the hammer lowered, then fired simply by pulling the trigger. Are there or have there been any semiautomatic rifles with this type of trigger mechanism. I have seen rifles and carbines with revolving...

Are there any 40 cal. guns that should not use reloads? I have heard about Glocks in the past due to lack of support and feed ramp design. Is this still the case? More specifically, what about the M&P 40 and the FNX40? Any issues with those two and reloads? A friend asked me and I don't want to...

I was just talking to my wife about a Ruger GP100 that I saw in a LGS for what I think is a good price. She said " I thought you wanted a 229 or something like that." She has mentioned the "229 or whatever" several times without any real provocation from me. She may be planning on surprising me...

I read a lot posts / responses of people raving about how wonderful their CZ 75 is, but hardly anyone ever mentions the 97B or 97BD. What is wrong with those guns? Anyone own one? What are your experiences with them? They just look like a 45 cal. version of the 75 for the most part to me. I...

Looking at buying one of these. Probably with a 4" barrel. Would like pros and cons of each. Durability, resale, performance, etc. Anybody have experience with both? Thanks.

I am poor, have always been poor, and will always be poor. This is not to say I have to struggle to make ends meet, but must consider costs and expenses. My guns are inexpensive by most gun owners standards and junk by some standards, but I still enjoy them. I do however enjoy browsing the high...

My first rifle was a Revelation tube-fed bolt-action 22 in a wood stock. I think I would like another 22 in this platform. All of the new bolt actions I see are detachable mag fed and most are in plastic stocks. Who made guns like I am looking for? I know about the Remington 512 and 582. Anybody...

Does anyboby make a 30-06 hollowpoint cartridge or bullet? A guy at work keeps talking about wanting to get some 30-06 hollowpoint ammo. I don't think I have ever seen any or even heard of any, but I don't know everything so I just say "Huh." when he mentions it. I don't want to agree or...

This has probably been covered before, but what is the difference between 410 handgun ammo and regular 410 shotgun ammo. I don't have a 410 handgun, but a single shot shotgun that I rarely shoot anyway. Just wondering.

I picked up a Kahr CW9 a couple of weeks ago. I have only shot 58 rounds through it yet, all fmj. I had no feeding issues with the fmj, but I loaded up a magazine of Hydra-Shok and the first round would not feed. I also tried a mag of Federal Personal Defense and had the same results. I tried a...

Was there ever a Remington 86 Tactical shotgun or is this just another Hollywood invention. I tried Googling it. All I came up with was images, but they were all 870s. I just saw this in a movie and wondered about it, because it was specifically named.

I think much of the news coverage glamourizes mass shootings and other heinous crimes in the minds of losers and makes them want to commit an even more heinous act so they can be more famous or infamous than the last guy. Forget these nuts. Don't glorify them and build up their egos. Also, don't...
