    Anything .45 colt can do that .357 can't?

    I'm interested in a Ruger Blackhawk with the convertible cylinders, or a Redhawk that allows moon clips for a "conversion". Deciding between .45 colt or .357 magnum. I'd love to own a .45 colt and have .45 acp already in the mix. I'd also love to own .357 and already have 9mm, which the...

    Colorado Gun Owners - Options for compliant magazines?

    Given there is a 15 round restriction in Colorado, what avenues are there to abide by these laws? Are restricted magazines sold? If so, what brand(s) are available? If you have had to limit magazines greater than 15 rounds, what products have you used to do that? Would a fixed mag, 10 round...

    Deciding on an AR10 caliber..

    I've recently gotten the itch to put together an AR10. I have an AR15 and have been wanting to get a semiauto in a heavier caliber more suited for some hunting and the occasional long range shooting. Like many others have done, I am currently debating between going with .308 or 6.5 creedmoor...

    Glock 30 Conversion - 10mm or 45 super?

    Ive been thinking about this a lot recently and wondered what others might suggest. I love 45acp for self defense from 2 legged threats, but it's lesser penetration has me wary of carrying 45acp for woods protection with black bears in the area. So, I've been considering getting a conversion kit...

    Colorado Pistol Advice

    Hey TFL, Going to be moving to the Denver area in another year due to a job offer and I wanted to ask for some input on another pistol to get. I currently have a shield 9mm and a Ruger SR45 full size. I've been wanting to bridge the gap between these two guns and get a handgun with more...

    Contender for the Army's New Rifle

    I know the move to 6.8 has been discussed recently, and I just came across the video linked to this post. Polymer-cased ammo seems a bit strange... https://youtu.be/874qcsynsL0

    PCC or 300 blk pistol

    Hey TFL, What would be the pros/cons to one vs. the other? I'm interested in both, but have no experience with either. I feel they both fit the niche of fun gun shooting, home/property defense, suppressed capabilities, and possible pig hunting. If you have experience with both or either...

    Experience with the Glock 30??

    Hey TFL, I'm pretty much set on the Glock 30 gen 4 being the next gun I pick up (unless a gen 5 drops between now and then). Ever since getting my Ruger SR45, I've come to love the .45acp for how fun it is to shoot and honestly how well I shoot it compared to other calibers. That said, I...

    Opinions for Future Henry

    Hey TFL, I have a love for lever guns, particularly Henrys. I have a .30-30 that I got as a college graduation present last year. I've recently been looking into which one to get next and narrowed it to 2 (technically 3) options: .45-70 big boy, and the Long Ranger (either in 6.5 creed or...

    Henry sidegate possibility?

    Hey TFL, With Henry now beginning to release rifles with sideloading gates, do any of you think it would be possible to contact Henry about milling one in to my current rifle? It would be a really great service that I feel could be very lucrative for them, but just didn't know if it was already...

    Ruger SR45 Rave

    Hey TFL, I just thought I'd post a bit of a report of the Ruger SR45 I shot recently. My uncle got one recently and brought it to do some shooting. Admittedly, I've become somehwat of a snob and have looked down on this handgun model (in all calibers) as not being up to par. That it was simply...

    Full Size 9mm and Thoughts on DA/SA to Improve Shooting?

    Hey TFL, I'm planning my next purchase and am only certain on the fact I want a full size 9mm for HD/range use. I'm having a hard time deciding which one I want most, however. I really like my buddy's 5 inch M&P 2.0. The thing is a tack driver and I'm fond of S&W due to my history with my...

    Travelling Through Illinois

    Hey TFL, I leave tomorrow for grad school, and have to travel a bit through Illinois to get to my new home. I read up on their gun laws pertaining to the transport of firearms of non-residents and just wanted to verify what I read with you all. From their govt website, my understanding is that...

    Henry 30-30 Optic

    Hey TFL, My uncle recently got me a Henry 30-30 as a college graduation gift and I absolutely love it. Buttery smooth action, gold dot front sight, and American made. Perfection. In about the next year, I plan to add an optic to it, but I'm not sure what I want. I have a Marlin 30-30 at home...

    Shockwave 12 vs 20

    Hey TFL, I really would love to get my hands on one of these because it would really fit my lifestyle for a defense gun. I travel a lot, spend time in the woods camping, and have a number of backpacks I use for various tasks. I really like the idea of this gun believe it would be very fun and...

    Hey TFL, Been thinking a lot about picking up a Glock in the near future. I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to save up an get a new gen 4 or 5 g19, or buying a gen 3 g23 from my uncle. So what's your preferred generation?

    PX4 Opinions

    Hey TFL, While I love striker fired pistols, a good da/sa is something I'd like to have as well for an HD/range gun. From what I understand, practicing on that platform can improve overall handgun skills on things like trigger pull. I know there's a lot of good da/sa guns out there (sig, cz...

    Which vortex for my 16" AR15?

    Hey TFL, I am not trying to create another red dot vs variable scope debate with this post. Rather, I am seeking advice on some vortex scopes I am looking into. I like the 1-6x strike eagle, but as of right now it's a little out of my price range (college student budget). I recently discovered...
