    Help me decide: LCP, PM9, or wait for the LC9

    Once again I find myself trying to figure out what my next gun will be. I typically buy only one or two guns a year, and spend most of the rest of my time deciding what to buy. It is a disease or sorts. Anyway, I'm looking for a small carry gun to add to the mix. I was sent on an LCP due to...

    SR9c, Opinions?

    Recently picked up a P95 and love it! Too big for concealed carry, but it is making me seriously consider the SR9c for concealed carry. I've always been a S&W and Walther guy, but I'm open to change if it is for the better. Just wondering what those who carry an SR9c think of it(accuracy...

    Smith and Wesson SD9, first trip to the range

    This weekend I picked up a new S&W SD9. Wasn't planning on buying it, but at $325.00 NIB, I couldn't turn it down. Glad I didn't. My dad and I both shot it, and both loved it. Very accurate, comparable to my M&P 40, although the trigger isn't quite what the M&P trigger is. The fit and...

    SP101 Fever - I think I'm infected

    Started last night sometime. I've had SP101's on the brain ever since. I have a Smith 642 for concealed carry, and a Smith 686 6 inch for under the bed and range work. Somehow I feel the need to bridge the gap between the two, and the Ruger seems to have everything I'm looking for. Anyone...

    Rattling magazines in my M&P

    Anyone else have this issue? When I load the mag at least half-full, it rattles. It is rather annoying. This happens with both the magazines that came with the gun. Anything I can do to fix it?

    Good deal on a 1980s 686?

    A friend of mine is selling his S&W 686 6" for $350. I examined it thoroughly. Locks up super tight. The trigger is smooth as butter. Needs cleaned, but overall, does not appear to have been shot very much. No blemishes other than some scuffs on the bottom of the square wood grips. He used...

    Uncle Mike's for M&P 40?

    Hello all. I just ordered an M&P 40. Can't wait for it to come in. I wanted to get one of those cheap Uncle Mike's Sidekick belt holsters to use at the range. Anyone know what size the full size M&P 40 takes? I googled it and haven't come up with anything. Also, anyone know the cheapest...

    Considering a S&W Sigma 9mm

    I am looking for an inexpensive and reliable gun to keep add to the collection. This gun would serve as something my wife could grab in a pinch when I'm not around. She is confortable with a 9mm, so I'd like to stick with that round. I only have one other 9mm, a Stoegar Cougar, but that lives...

    Looking for a groundhog gun

    My brother in law's wife wants to buy him a gun to take care of the groundhog problem. She doesn't know where to start, so she came to me. I'm thinking a .22 mag of some kind, but I'm really more of a shotgun and handgun guy. So I'm coming to you folks. Any suggestions? I think she'd like...

    Hit this poll

    http://www.newsday.com/news/local/politics/ny-usgill0217,0,903835.story Dem Senator from NY had two rifles under her bed. Give her your support. Maybe someone should tell her a shotgun is better for home defense.

    Love my new 870

    Just wanted to post a pic of my new 870. I got it for Christmas. It it is set up for home defense right now. But it will convert to turkey mode when Spring comes.

    Looking for suggestions re a cheap deer rifle

    I am fairly new to rifles (been a handgun and shotgun guy for years). I turkey hunt, but would like to start deer hunting. I am looking for an inexpensive, but decent, gun to take into the woods. I don't want to be too upset if I scratch the thing. I'm willing to consider something used...

    Winchest Model 70

    I'm borrowing a Winchester Model 70 from a relative (30-06). They said I could take it deer hunting. Now that I have it home, it looks a little too nice to hunt with. Any idea of value and/or year it was made. Number is 617XX. It is flawless, with a nice scope on it. Thanks. Sorry -...

    Side Mount Shell Holder for Rem. 870?

    Does anyone know where I can get a side mount shell holder for a Remington 870 Express (18 inch barrel, 7+1), which will mount to the gun without modifying the gun. The TacStar model requires you cut a piece of the grip off to make the shell holder fit. Any other options out there?

    Has anyone used Extreme Shock Enhanced Penetration ammo?

    Just curious. I know these are designed to penetrate better than the Air Freedom variety. Just wondering if anyone has tried them. Thanks.

    I want one!

    Forgive me if this has been posted already - it likely has. But I just found this link and had to share. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ebtj1jR7c Too bad it looks like it will be for military use only.

    20 gauge or 12 gauge

    I'm think of adding a short barrel shot gun to the collection, likely a Remington 870. I own two 12 gauge guns, a Browning and a Winchester. II am very comfortable with them, and prefer a 12 gauge. However, this new gun will be for home defense only. I can't see myself shooting trap or...

    Reloading - where to start?

    I'm considering reloading my own ammo. I primarily shoot .380 and 9mm. I have no idea what I need or where to start. I've always used factory ammo, but at these prices it may make sense to change that. Can you buy a kit that has everything I'd need to get started? Thanks.

    A gun on every floor.

    I recently, after moving to a new place with two floors instead of one, came to the conclusion that it is critical to have a gun on every floor of your home. The other night I was sitting on my couch downstairs and realized, "if someone broke in right now, I'd have to either run upstairs to get...
