    Is bringing loaded magazines to a range acceptable?

    I've only been to an outdoor range so far. I follow posted rules and am familiar with safe handling, but I'm planning on trying an indoor range next week and I don't want to make a fool of myself. It seems if I'm paying by the hour, I would want to make the most of it. Is coming with loaded...

    First time with a shotgun - looking for more

    I had a great weekend where I was introduced to multiple shotguns. I started out at 5 stand with just some introductory clay shooting and finished up with a round of sporting clays. I had a great time, but my shoulder/ chest is one huge bruise. I think part of it was my form, but I'm...

    M2000 field / defense combo

    Cabela's has a Stoeger M2000 combo with a 26" and an 18.5" barrel on their website that I can't seem to find other places and there isn't a Cabela's near me. http://www.cabelas.com/p-0075214291074a.shtml Is this a combo they put together? Can the 18.5" barrel be bought separately?(It...

    M&P slide marks / scratches

    picked up my first (real) handgun yesterday - a brand new M&P 9mm. after looking it over at home, I noticed some marks on the slide that I had not seen. Do you think these would be covered under the warranty? I bought it online and it seems like returning it would be much more hassle than its...

    First 9mm pistol

    I have been bouncing back and forth for a few months about a new pistol. I received an MKIII and enjoyed shooting it, so I was looking for something to complement it for HD and the range. I have been focusing on striker fired polymer designs because they seem very popular / well supported. I...

    M&P9L or M&P9 Pro - Magazine disconnect?

    do the M&P9L and the M&P9 Pro have the magazine disconnect safety? Model numbers are 205301 for the 9L and 178010 for the 9 Pro. Also, are the pro upgrades worth the extra $50 for someone just getting into shooting? This will be used for HD and target shooting.

    Mossberg 930 combo 18.5" and 28" - good first shotgun?

    I'm interested in a shotgun for both HD as well as my first foray into skeet / trap / and or sporting clays. I don't really have an interest in hunting at this point. Would this be a good entry into the shotgun world for $475 + transfer fees? I was looking at pumps, but why not go auto for...

    S&W M&P price, deals

    Bud's had the M&P 9 for $438 shipped a few weeks ago. If I had the cash then, I probably would have bought it. Now I have the cash, but the deal is gone. I was wondering what I should expect to pay for this gun. There is a Gander Mtn here that sells the M&P for $599 + tax, which seems...

    new shooter - M&P and its competitors

    I recently became interested in shooting and was given a new Mark III along with some range time and instruction as a gift. I had a great time shooting it, and I'm looking at getting another handgun for target shooting and maybe HD. While at the range, I also shot a ruger P series .45. It was...
