I have been shooting hand guns for a while now. I feel that I have gotten rid of most if not all of the newbie shooting ticks. I have even been able to manage 2" groups at ten yards with cheap bulk ammo with all of my handguns. However, I have no idea how to keep my support hand on the gun. I...

I just purchased a SCAR 16s and I wanted to get a sling for it. I have no idea how to choose a good sling. So, I would like to get your votes and opinions to see what I should look at. In addition to the type of sling it would be extra helpful if you guys recommended a specific sling that you...

I am learning to use a DA/SA gun (PX4 Storm Special Duty). I have been trying to learn the double-action trigger through dry fire practice but I can't keep the front sight still through the trigger break. Everything goes fine until the trigger breaks. I'm left handed and the front sight snaps to...

Does anyone know which red dots fully cowitness with troy iron sights (not the micro kind)? And, to further specify, not lower third cowitness either. I want the red dot to sit on the front sight while I'm looking through the rear sight aperture. Thanks for your responses in advance.

I am looking into getting my first AR and I am looking at getting the Stag Arms Model 8 with railed handguards (http://www.stagarms.com/product_info.php?cPath=13_22&products_id=321). I want railed handguards, flip up iron sights, adjustable stock, and a piston gas system on my AR. Does anyone...

I was considering getting either a Ruger Mini-14 (the one with the retractable stock, pistol grip, rails, etc) or the Arsenal SGL21 AK. I read about the Mini-14s not being very accurate but AKs generally aren't very accurate either so that isn't too much of an issue. I am leaning towards the...

I want to get a DA/SA pistol just so that I can develop the ability to use DA/SA guns. I have narrowed it down to either the Sig Sauer P226 Enhanced Elite (probably in .40) or the Beretta PX4 Storm Special Duty (only comes in .45). I'm left-handed so I'm leaning towards the Beretta because all...

http://www.youtube.com/user/nutnfancy#p/search/1/l2bW0vJi83k The part you want to start watching at is at 17:56 I feel sorry for everyone who went out and bought an XCR, ACR, or SCAR 16. I was just about to buy a SCAR and now I'm overjoyed and sad at the same time. I'm sad that I'm going to...

I haven't seen a single affordable handgun that is capable of 1" groups at 25 yards. I see the $3k 1911s and it makes me sick that people actually pay that much money for an accurate handgun. Does anyone know of a semi-auto that can produce that kind of accuracy without having to pay an arm and...

Sorry I know there are a ton of these threads but I have read many of them, done a ton of research, and in the light of some price drops need some opinions. I'm trying to decide between a SCAR and an ACR "OMG we have heard this a million times". Yeah I know but please don't stop reading yet...

How well does the tritium and fiber optic illumination work for powering the dot? Is the dot visible in bright light? Is the dot visible in complete darkness? Do you notice that the light washes out coming from a dark area to a light area? I'm very interested in a red...er amber dot that...

How do you guys find out about new models of guns? Is there a website or a magazine dedicated to tracking and reporting newly released or upcoming guns? It seems like it doesn't matter how many gun magazines I read I always miss out on another new gun that is coming out. How do you guys find out...

*Disclaimer* This is not a thread for biased individuals. I do not claim Glock or HK to be superior to each other. I only want to know if X pistol performs better than Y pistol in Z category... or not. */Disclaimer* I'm currently having a rather heated discussion with someone concerning Glock...

I'm a lefty. But I was told that releasing the magazine is actually faster if you use your trigger finger to release it (using the right-handed mag release instead of getting the release switched over). I was told that right-handed shooters could even benefit from practicing that way. Is this...

I saw a much more experienced shooter adjusting his grip after every shot. I don't understand, he was only shooting a CZ-75 SP-01. Why would you need/want to adjust your grip after every shot?

I am trying to diagnose why I'm shooting high at about 15 yards. I have been using targets that diagnose what you are doing when you shoot in a certain spot on the target. However I can't find a site that does a good job of explaining what the target means. Could someone show me a site that...

I'm left handed and I was extremely excited to see the FNP-45 Tactical with fully ambidextrous controls. That is, until I pulled it out of the case. They do not work without fighting for your life. It is easier to use the right handed controls with my left trigger finger than to actually use the...

I'm trying to choose between the following guns: Glock (9mm/.40 S&W/.45) Generally considered the best pistol for your money. I don't know how easy it will be to control in the larger calibers due to it weighing very little. Px4 Storm (9mm/.40 S&W) Px4 Storm Special Duty (.45) These guns...

Of all of the stopping power theories... hydrostatic shock is the only one that I can't find enough information about to make my own decision. Temporary cavity doesn't work very well on a human's elastic organs, "knockdown" doesn't exist, psychological factors are negated by...

I was interested in purchasing a 1911 and I stumbled upon the ridiculous amount of modifications. I was wondering what modifications/features you guys/gals prefer/like on your 1911? I was hoping I could get away with buying a stock model with as many of the ideal features on it as possible...
