    Did the Army even test the MHS entries?

    Just some speculation, but I have a hunch that the SIG won the contract for purely political reasons. This is NOT to say it isn't a good choice. I think it's a great handgun. But I don't think the guns ever got tested against each other for reliability. Here's why... I kept up with any news on...

    Sphinx SDP Owners, status update?

    I've had my eye on the Sphinx SDP, particularly the Compact size, for a while now. The main thing that's kept me from dropping the money on one is that there just isn't much out there to indicate how reliable the guns are. In my mind the SDP would be an alternative to my SIG M11-A1 with some...

    ATF ignores restraining order against business and raids Ares Armor

    Link to a recent article speculating that a raid was averted due to the legal restraining order: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/03/15/california-gun-store-refuses-to-turn-over-customer-list-to-federal-officials/ Today, barely into the temporary restraining order, the ATF raided Ares Armor...

    New Walther CCP

    Just found this article on my facebook feed: http://www.mrcolionnoir.com/news/new-gun-alert-walther-ccp/#comment-16665 I'm pretty excited, this looks like it's going to be a really nice little single stack! Anybody else seen this yet?

    Anybody have a fairly new 870 Express?

    I bought one back in around 2009 or 10. It was horribly unreliable. The action would bind up at the range constantly. It took a lot of time and money to get it reliable. During that time I know they were hit and miss and a lot of others had similar issues. I've been considering another shotgun...

    HK45

    So, I think I'm going to get an HK45. I have one on hold at Cabelas right now and it's the only one I could find in town. Tax return should arrive tomorrow to fund it. It's priced at $1049.99 before tax. The pistol will be an IWB carry (I've carried full sized pistols for about 2 years now so I...

    Guess what! It turns out that shot placement doesn't matter after all!

    Just listen to this "expert" and all of his extensive knowledge gained from service with special forces! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_boUZDuq5U&lc=vp_BYWlr7_KG1pUwtfPSGG1RfVRsPENavUNRHDYwLEM&feature=inbox It's absolutely shameful that anybody would go out of their way to post a video like...

    Second chance for Remington, or a Mossberg?

    ***To avoid the wall of text, scroll down to the bottom paragraph. Read all if you want to know the whole story.*** I've been rolling around the idea of picking up another home defense style shotgun lately. I picked up a Remington 870 about a year ago with a friend of mine who bought a similar...

    CZ Polymer Frames

    I know there are metal rails inside the frame for the slide to lock up with, but I can't seem to find ANY pictures anywhere of the rails inside the frame to show how they lock with the frame. I would go to a gun shop and have a look in person, but shops don't like to let customers take down the...

    The SIG P210 is BACK!

    SIG Sauer has brought back the P210 for 2011 and put it on display at SHOT Show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0cgUbYmpsE So who's gotta have one? :D I'm definitely excited.

    You're an ACTION HERO: What do you carry?

    You can carry whatever you like and no matter what you'll always hit your target and it will fall over or go flying and be out of the fight. Heck, you're an ACTION HERO, so even a revolver has infinite ammo in your awesomely manly ACTION HERO hands. So what do you pick as your piece? In the...

    Am I Broken?

    I must admit, the Browning High Power pistol is one of the most gorgeous pistols out there. On paper, it's a great pistol. Short, crisp trigger? Check. Browning Design? Check. Accuracy? Check. Excellent track record and reliability? Check. Every time I look at one I drool, so why is it that...

    possible new AR...

    Money is tight and I'm having a lot of trouble justifying a new AR. I had one DPMS in the past but sold it off foolishly. It was a very nice rifle. Anyway, Bushmaster has a carbon reciever rifle that I can find for around 500 to 600 dollars, but with such a low price tag it makes me wonder if it...

    Your Top 5 List...

    That same old 5 best 9mm pistols thread seems to resurface extremely often and simply doesn't die, but the main thing that bothers me about it is how limited it is. No .45s, no 10mms, no .380s, etc... So I figured I'd start my own thread: In your opinion, what are the 5 best automatic pistol...

    P239 Question:

    I've been wanting one for a while now, but every time I fondle one I just can't stand the concave shaped slide stop. Just out of curiosity, is there a replacement for this piece shaped like a standard sig slide stop? Or perhaps is a standard slide stop interchangeable?

    Handguns your collection wouldn't be complete without?

    You know the ones. They may be your favorites, maybe not, but you would never part with them. Or perhaps its the next purchase on your list because no collection is complete without one. What are your must have handguns?

    another blank vs blank thread!

    I have been carrying 2 weapons primarily lately: a CZ 75 P01 and a walther ppk/s depending on whether i'm in work uniform or plain clothes. Lately i've been wanting something sized roughly inbetween the 2 to add to my carry choices and i've narrowed it down to the p2000sk and the p239. I already...

    Picking a Bolt Gun

    I'd like to build a .300 Win Mag bolt action sniper style rifle and can't decide where to start. I'd like to keep the rifle itself decently affordable to start. What would you all suggest?

    Winchester Model 1300

    A neighbor of mine has one for sale in perfect condition, five stars. I'm thinking of offering him 200 for it and seeing what happens, but first I want to know what experience people may have with it. From what I understand, its just an updated version of Browning's M1200 design. How well does...

    Wood or Synthetic?

    I'm buying a Bolt in .30-06 and haven't decided which material to go with. I'm concerned with looks, but that's only about 10%. The other 90% is performance and durability. Which do you like to shoot with more?
