I am planning on hiking up Pike's Peak tomorrow, and was curious about the legality of carrying a firearm while on the mountain. I looked on Packing.org, but they didn't have any information on carrying inside of state parks. Is it legal? Thanks in advance!

I was creating another field-stripping guide when I realized that I am missing a screw on my VZ24. It's directly behind the bolt/trigger guard. You can see the hole in this picture: Anyone know where I can buy that screw, or a suitable replacement for it? Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can get some 1911 grips that can be engraved? I'd really like wood ones with a small plate in the center, but anything would work. For those wondering why, I bought myself a Kimber Pro Carry to celebrate being promoted to 1Lt, and I'd like to have a little...

Not sure if it's old news or not, but saw this video of one of our soldiers in Iraq being shot.. and saved by his body armor! http://gojackarmy.castpost.com/

I'm going out for a range day with a few buddies this weekend, and it's my turn to supply the .45ACP. Aim Surplus has "military spec" steel cased .45ACP on sale. Does anyone have any experience with this ammunition? I'm not going to use it for defense or anything - just to plink away with at...

I have a friend in California looking for a pistol caliber (preferrably 9mm or .40S&W) carbine, with a budget of $200-$300. I've suggested the Kel-Tec Sub2000 carbine, but it didn't float his boat. Any other suggestions out there that are available in CA?

Hey all, I'm trying to find a document that details the exact specifications of the M1913 Picatinny rail - the thickness of the side rails, the angles of the cuts, and so on. Googling it doesn't really help at all - just returns a bunch of product advertisements. Can anyone help? Thanks!

A friend of mine purchased an XD9 today, and is interested in mounting night sights on it. Is this a project that a reasonably mechanically-inclined individual can handle on his own, or is it something that you need to send to a gunsmith? How are the sights installed?

Not sure if this should be in here or the Legal forum.. if I put it in the wrong place, my apologies. Is anyone here an owner of a suppressor while in the military? I am interested in purchasing one after I PCS to my next duty station. However, I am concerned with what will happen if they...

As I poke around in the For Sale forums, I notice that it seems like every gun only has "100 rounds!" through it. Do people really get bored of their guns that quickly? So, how long do you hang onto your guns for?

Hi all, long time lurker here! I was recently at a gunshow. At the very first table, I noticed a Mark 23 in a "Used, Make Offer" section, marked at $1399. I thought that was a very handsome price, considering that the best I've seen on the web has been around...

I am in an argument with another gentleman on another forum. He maintains that shooting-to-wound is ok; once you are justified in using deadly force on someone, you can shoot them in the toe if you feel like. Something typical is: Here's some other snippets: I posted the Arizona Revised...

There are a few of these blue and yellow booklets that have suddenly showed up in my college's periodical section of the library. You can imagine what the contents of the booklet are - how guns are horrible and kill millions of women and children a year. There's a website listed...

I am going to the Gunsite CCW class this upcoming weekend, and I am certainly excited. It's my first time going to Gunsite, and my first formal firearm training (though it's just the CCW class and not defensive pistol #250). Does anyone have any advice on what I should bring/not bring? Should...

I made up my mind about the P11 vs the Beretta 92 Compact. I'm the proud new owner of a 92 Compact :) It came with one 13rd mag, and the plastic Beretta box, which was nice since the pistol was used. I was intending to shoot it right after my purchase, but the clouds opened up and started...

I recently turned 21, and am looking to pick up my CCW lisence. The problem is that my two pistols are both full size (1911 and TZ99 - think Sig P226 sized) and a bit chunky for carry, so I am looking for something a bit mo' compact. I have been looking at the P11, since I've heard so much...

Just a salute to the men in blue defending our nation and bombing Al-Qaeda back to the stone age.

Anyone know of a good gunsmith directory online? Preferably, at the least, location, contact info, etc.. a bonus would be if the directory listed guns worked on, general price range, and reviews. I'm thinking of sending off my 1911 for a bit of work, but I don't want to send it across the...

I've bought A-Zoom snap caps in 9mm and .45ACP. Neither one of them will feed or eject properly from my TZ99 or my 1911 (well, respectively - I didn't try the 9mm in the 1911 :-p). The .45ACP ones, in fact, have pretty severely scuffed up the top of the chamber on my 1911's barrel :( In my...
