Just wondering what people's regrets or mistakes they made while buying a new gun. Didn't shop around, paid too much, etc. I was not into shooting when I bought my first gun (Springfield XD service .40). I had turned 21 while in Iraq and I thought that now that I can buy a handgun and had the...

Just curious if anyone has an Eotech 553 on an AR15 and how do you like it? Thinking of picking one up for shooting to about 100m. I'm not into dead on precision, just Minute of Man accuracy and I like the wide viewing window of Eotechs compared to Aimpoints. Thanks

I'm curious if anybody carries a P30 as their daily CCW. I think the gun shoots like a dream but I find it may be a little big to be certain that I could use it for an everyday carry weapon, but people do carry full size 1911s. I don't know because I haven't had the opportunity to try to carry...

Are there any companies that are reproducing 1911s with the same spec as the 1911A1? I love the look of the old WWII 1911 and just was wondering if any body was reproducing them

I'm looking for a SA/DA semi w/ hammer and decocker in 9mm for carry. I want a 4ish inch barrel. I was surprised because I thought that I would find more than what I've found. I have medium to large hands so I dont like the feel of subcompacts and I do not want another striker fired. So far on...

So I shot a friend's FNX9 today and for some reason I'm in love with it. It was comfortable but not as comfortable as some other guns like a PPQ, or P30. It shot well but I've shot better with other guns the first time I shot them. It's strange because it is not the best gun I've shot or held...

So I've been in the market for a new 9mm and have been reading reviews for the past month or so. Well I decided it was time to hit the range and just rent a couple of guns that I've had my eyes on. I'm no professional reviewer but here are some things that I noticed. First I tried the HK P30. I...

Does anybody do this? I've never heard of it before but I'm reading a book about SF missions and the writer says about the SF guys after doing CQB drills "...the soldiers cleaned their guns in gasoline in a big red aluminum gun bath..." I've seen gun baths before but I always thought it was full...

Well my year long build is coming to an end... still need an optic (most likely a red dot), suppressor, grenade launcher, fore grip, flashlight, laser, and what ever else I can buy to prolong the end of the build. I started the build just to have an economical AR but some how the girlfriend...

I've been some forums about the dislikes of the at platform and that I saw a couple of times was the dislike of the placement of the charging handle. That got me thinking is there/has been a company that made/makes an ar with a reciprocating bolt? Even experimental? Please this not a bash the...

Not too long ago there was a discussion about carrying in church. Although this isn't about CC in church, its about people who I feel were acting inappropriately, never mind the ND. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/02/13/pastors-daughter-accidentally-shot-at-florida-church/?test=latestnews...

I was just curious which countries were the least restrictive when it comes to ownership of firearms. I'm talking about established countries, not the Afghan/Pakistan border or the African jungle. Some thoughts are the types of weapons allowed, easiness of access to weapons, licenses, etc...

From what I understand, the difference between an ak47 and an akm is that the akm was created with a stamped body instead of milled for manufacturing reasons and an ak74 is chambered in 5.45. My question: Were there any changes to each "updated" weapon as far as the operating system or...

So I was showing my girlfriend the barrel I want for my AR build (16" BCM SS410 ionbond black), but was telling her I couldn't afford it. So she wanted to make a bet and make that the prize. The bet? I had to be a vegetarian for a week. Now, I'm a pretty muscular guy and I have never purposely...

I was curious how come it seems that U.S. hasn't been trying bullpup designs with all their recent (past couple of years) rifle testing. Maybe I just haven't heard of it. Same barrel, but shorter overall length, seems to solve the problem between which is better a M4 or M16. I don't know much...

Do you think that kids playing with toy guns lead to unsafe gun handling? Just a question we discussed at work today. Good education in gun handling is key, but kids are kids and you can tell them one thing but if they doing the opposite with toys, do you think they will pay attention to the...

I'm now looking for a barrel for my AR build and I have my eye on YHM 16" 1:9 twist barrels. I've been looking for reviews on them and haven't found any. Any body with experience with these? I've also been looking at a BCM 16" midlength, but I haven't heard much about them either and I don't...

I bought a Magpul MOE trigger guard for my AR build. I tried installing it the other day and the pin will not go all the way in, probably 1/3 to 1/2 of the way in. I've tried to pull the pin out, it wont come out, I tried to make sure the trigger guard was on correctly but the pin is partially...

Well I was playing with the rifle in my SSgt's office and was joking around asking if he'd sell it to me. He said he wanted between $100-150 for it. I told him I'd pay him $100. Out of pure laziness I said never mind because I didn't want to change into civies to go to the ATM, so I said that I...

I've heard rumors and the "well they are going to be getting rid of the SAW" comments, but it seems that it is coming true but there are still some skeptics. http://www.military.com/news/article/marines-unsure-of-new-rifle-plan-.html?ESRC=marine-a.nl...
