    I think I get overly upset

    When I see someone shooting a handgun all "Gangsta" style: limp wristed, side-ways and above their head. I don't know how it started, or why these people insist on continuing shooting this way, but I'd like to meet the guy who started it and slap him across the head. Idiots.

    New potential M1 Carbine Owners: BEWARE!!!

    You have probably read that the "Universal" brand is not what you are looking for if you want a G.I. spec. Carbine. The tricky thing with choosing Carbine is the fact that so many manefacturers were producing them during WWII. Iver Johonson is not one of them. Like the Universals, these...

    My Four Fives.

    Well the Nighthawk turned out to be money well spent. I had waited for years to get me a customized 1911 and I am very pleased with my choice. The early model Sig P220 I just aquired has really proven to be a great shooter! Accurate, smooth and with a superb trigger the Sig has quickly become...

    Ammo...a big drawback to the AR15 right now.

    No, this isn't yet another argument whether or not the 5.56mm X 45mm round is capable for combat or not. This post is to address the seeming dwindling supply of so called "Surplus" ammo in this caliber. One of the selling points for owning an AR15 in the past was it's use of clean, cheap, good...

    I don't understand the Anti-Gun mentality...

    I'd like to think of myself as an open minded person. I am always willing to hear out the reasonings of those with opposing viewpoints from mine, and though I may not agree with them I am at the very least open enough to try to understand them. But I truly don't understand the Anti-gun...

    My Python is gone, time to start thinking about another wheelie.

    Well like the title says, my Python is gone. She wasn't sold, or traded nor did she fall down some Lava crack in the forest, no...My Python went to my best friend to go Hog Hunting with. He just started getting into hunting and his brother in law recommended a .357 mag. So I gave 'em mine...

    1911 Experts I need to clear up something with you...

    I've never had any interest in any 1911 that wasn't a "Government" model, or full sized gun so I've never really become familiar with the compacts. I just want to learn what size gun makes a "Commander" or "Officers" type 1911. Is a "Commander" simply a full sized 1911 with a shorter barrel? Or...

    The SIG P220 revisited.

    I don't know how or why I went so long without a SIG P220! I recently made a deal on a used P220 after being without one for YEARS. I was too young to appreciate the gun when I had one last and I had traded it off for something with more capacity. It was a trade I regretted almost from the...

    Ammunition Prices have gone MAD here, can someone help?

    Bullet Prices: It's getting BAD here! I just came back from the country store that I've bought bullets from in the past, and it seems I haven't been there for awhile. $20.99 for a 20 round box of WOLF 7.62 X 39mm!!!!:eek: (Black Box!!!) $36.99 for a Winchester White Box .357 mag. JHP...

    One dream came true today: I got my first customized 1911.

    Well it finally happened. After years of dreaming and saving up, I finally got something I always wanted; a customized 1911. After doing the research and getting some very helpful tesimonials from some of the members here I finally decided on a Government sized Nighthawk Talon, and I couldn't be...

    What does "MIM" Stand for?

    I've seen it referred to twice this week. Something to do with parts?

    I just got through reading the post about the S&W Sigma's

    I have a question and didn't want to hijack azmark's post. I noticed that while there are quite a few satisfied Sigma owners allot of people seem to have a problem with its trigger. Well, my question is: Aren't there ways a Sigma owner can improve if not fix their trigger? The Sigma has been...

    Sig P220 experts: information please!

    I just purchased a Sig P220. It is in nice shape, doesn't look like it was holstered, and apart from some scratches on the slide and barrel it's clean. I noticed some differences in this P220 from the one I owned in the past however. 1. The front sight in this gun is pinned on. My other P220...

    Nighthawk 1911 owners

    How do you like them? I'm looking to treat myself to a new 1911 and right now it's looking like either NightHawk or Wilson. (No I don't want a Les Baer or Ed Brown thank you very much.) I'm leaning towards a Nighthawk right now, but would like to get some opinions before I make the plunge...

    What type of steel is best for 1911 frames?

    Stainless? Or Carbon Steel? Which would withstand the most punishment over time?

    My ugly duckling: Lemonade out of Lemons?

    I was disappointed with my Masterpiece Arms MPA971 9mm Carbine at first. It's fricken heavy. Add a 72 round drum on it and whoa Nelly! Now you got youself an Anvil! But I realized I was going about it all wrong. So what if i'd probably bust a nut carrying on a hike or while checking the...

    BUSHMASTER GAS PISTON M4A3 CARBINE owners...

    Hello! I did a quick search and didn't find many Bushmaster Gas Piston Carbine owners posting about their guns so I decided to try to find out how many of you are out there this way! LOL! After going the LONG way around it, I am back into looking at a Gas Pistoned AR15. I was in the market for...

    Hi-Point stands to make a LOT of money...

    If they come out with a revised "2nd Generation" Hi-Capacity product line. It only makes sense. The company aka Bemiller was founded in 1992, right before the Assault Weapon Ban went into effect and there were numerous rumors of Capacity limits to all Semi-Auto firearms. They did the smart thing...

    A Question for all of you 5.56mm AK owners...(?)

    Hey guys, I was wondering, why did you choose to get an AK chambered for this round? Just curious. I personally wouldn't get one as my ONLY AK varient, but it has sparked my interest once or twice since I am already stocked pretty good in that caliber. Is the Bulgarian military using 5.56mm...

    Now why would anyone want to get a pistol calibered rifle?

    Because they are fun. They don't need another reason to exist. I am a big Carbine fan, so it's only natural that I would include a pistol calibered Carbines to my collection. Currently I only have a pair of 9mm's but I surely wouldn't mind one chambered in .45 ACP. In allot of ways, these...
