This thread has two questions: 1) I have heard of the XDs having problems with the Striker Retaining Pin. Does the XDM 3.8's have the same problems? 2) I have been leaning towards a G23 Gen4, but as I am waiting to make my purchase, I have become intrigued by the XDM 3.8 Compacts. SHould I...

Ok, so I picked up a Kimber catalog and was thumbing through it and I came upon the Kimber KPD. It seemed like a decent design: Caliber: 40 S&W Capacity: 12+1 Width: 1.08"(frame) 0.96"(slide) Barrel Length: 4.1" Weight: 25 oz. Trigger: 6.5 lbs. Just wondering what happened with...

Anyone know if or where you can find night sights for the Ruger SR9/SR40 series guns?

Just curious as to what former Glock owners traded their once beloved Glocks in for. Please answer in the following format. What did you have? What did you trade it for? What influenced your decision?

Just hear me out: About 2 months ago I purchased a M&P 9mm from jetguns for $439. I have since been curious about the M&P 40 compact as I can convert to 9mm if I really want the versatility, but to really have a smaller gun to CCW. I've also been looking for a good deal on a M&P 45 or a Glock...

I posted this in the Guns and Gear section with no responses, so I'll try here. I am looking for an IWB holster for my full size M&P 9mm. I have looked at several models, but I don't know anything about them. What is a good brand or a good model that I can carry IWB comfortably? So far I have...

I am looking for an IWB holster for my full size M&P 9mm. I have looked at several models, but I don't know anything about them. What is a good brand or a good model that I can carry IWB comfortably? So far I have looked at: Fobus Galco Crossbreed Any other suggestions?

I absolutely love a SA trigger. I have been looking at gunmakers who offer a polymer framed pistol under $600 that has a DA/SA trigger and have found the following: Beretta PX4 CZ P-07 FNP Ruger P95 Sig Pro 2022 All of the above firearms have a similar feel to them and all are available with...

I recently picked up a Savage Edge in 308 at the local Wal Mart for just under $270. Now I am looking for a high zoom scope for target shooting and I have found the Simmons 44 Mag 6-24x44mm and Bushnell Banner 6-24x40mm both of which are under $200. I am not looking to spend a lot on a scope so...

I have had the 45 bug for sometime now and have been looking at several different platforms based on the information from a previous thread a couple of months back. However, I always find myself coming back to the 1911 platform. I have settled on the three models listed below due to their...

I know nothing about this brand but the other night I was watching Guns And Ammo TV and they were talking about 3 Gun options from Beneli. When they got to the pistol, they were showing the Stoeger Cougar. Since then I have been looking at these online and they look the part! So my question is...

I live in western NC. Here we have bobcats, coyotes, mountain lion, and black bear. I am looking for a good gun to carry with me in the woods just in case I come across one of these critters that's having a bad day. I don't want a cannon such as a 460 or 500 Magnum, but I am open to other...

I have been looking at getting an AR for under $700. The models I have looked at are: Bushmaster Carbon 15 Smith and Wesson M&P Sport DPMS Oracle Olympic Arms DoubleStar I have searched many posts about which is better and a lot of people have stated that you can build a better AR for that...

I am looking for an inexpensive 223 for target practice and coyotes. Notice I said inexpensive and not cheap. I am a novice with semi-auto rifles, so if I seem naive please excuse me. I like that the Galil has a 35 round clip and is based off the AK platform. I also like that the Ruger is built...

In my most recent post, I was trying to decide between two 45's (M&P or XD) and several members suggested the P220. Since then I went to a local range and rented a P220 to try out. While there I also tried a CZ 75 9mm. Both guns were GREAT and amazingly accurate. I was only able to put 50 rounds...

Recently I was given a Ruger P85 as a gift. While I am grateful for the gun, I have read that the P85 had some issues. Mainly with the decocker accidentally causing it to discharge :eek: Supposedly they fixed this with the P85 MkII, but I don't think this one is the MkII. If there is, there are...

I have recently been bitten by the 45 bug. I have narrowed it down to the XD 45 (or XDM 45) and the M&P 45. I want feedback from people that have shot and/or owned both. Which is better? They both have the 1911 grip angle. I shoot equally as well with both of them and they are within my budget...

I am about to make a new purchase and I am looking at getting the M&P 40 S&W for CCW due to increased energy realease on target as well as the possibility of getting a 357 SIG barrel later along with the 9mm conversion to shoot cheaper ammo for practice. 1. How reliable are the conversion...

Just out of curiosity, I would like to know what each of you think is the best semi-autos for each category starting at $200 and going through $1K in $100 increments. Here are my picks: Best Guns: $200-$300 - S&W Sigma $300-$400 - Ruger SR9 & Sig SP2022 $400-$500 - Springfield XD & S&W M&P...

I have been looking at getting a Glock 22 or Glock 23 and I went to the local rental range to try them both out. For some reason, the first shot in a new magazine in either gun was incredibly low, EVERY TIME. The rest seemed to go where I wanted. I was only shooting at 10 yrds or so away. Upon...
