Bought a spankin' new Kahr CW380 from Vance's Outdoors in Columbus the other day. This is my first Kahr, I've previously purchased new Glock, Ruger, and CZ pistols. I compared this, in the shop, to the Kel-Tec P3AT and the Ruger LCP and was most pleased with the feel, size, trigger and size of...

I have a Mosin M44, round receiver, Izhevsk manufacture, 1945r date stamp. Good condition, bore is typical, good rifling, dark full length grooves, and it shoots very nicely. Doing some research, I found this on the 7.62X54R website: http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinFeatures04.htm A little over...

I have Ruger MKIII target, and I ordered the Tandemkross mag disconnect / drop free bushing. Install went easy with now issues (other than the standard MKIII takedown / assembly swearing) BUT: Right now I have two mutually exclusive conditions. EITHER the magazine will snap in and seat...

Can someone help me understand this? (From the Ruger American .243 at 650 yards... thread) I can't get through my mind how that could be the case. As I see it, a bullet, which leaves the barrel at a velocity through the air & at a certain spin velocity, both of which will decay as friction...

I don't know if this is faux pas, but how can I find the value of a rifle? I'm interested in selling an AR-15, but but I am having trouble finding what its worth. This is not intended to be a sale post, when the time comes I'll create that in the proper area. Its a bushmaster, stock, pretty low...

It seems that I run across statements like this all the time: "Watch your bullet set back if you are chambering and un-chambering a live round. If that bullet gets squashed in the case after repeated chambering, you risk a high pressure oopsy." I even listened. I'd cycle my ammunition...

I recently picked one of these up.... mmmm p7 .... for a really good price. I want to carry it occasionaly, probably be my dress up gun, I daily cc a G-19. The problem is getting holsters. I don't want to spend a rediculous amount of money for a holster. Blade-tech makes one, the IWB...

Just picked up a new SIG! P-232 .380 two tone (stainless slide, alloy lower) Probably had less than 50 rounds through it (Wasn't dirty, I could count the feed ramp marks, mags were not scraped) for $428 otd at a local shop. I needed a deep CC firearm. I was getting tired of larger ones &...

:) :D First post back in a long time! Picked up a new rifle on Sunday. A Bushmaster AR-15, 16" barrel, 30rnd mag, sling, box, etc. Brand new, put about 200 rounds through it Sunday afternoon, sighting it in. Was holding sub- 1" groups @ 50 yards (used short range for sighting). Very happy...

I have a 1945 Isk make Mosin M-44. Just thought I'd share. :) Its the first firearm I've owned that is as fun to shoot as it is to watch someone shoot it. Mmmmm fireball... http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k30/Phalanx06/Mosin.jpg Fun to shoot, can keep about a 1 inch group @ 50, (part of...

What is the definition of Armor Piercing? I inquire because I recently purchased a 1945 Isk M-44. Its a blast, literally, to shoot. I also picked up the 440 rnd 1980s manufacuture milsurp ammo. While shooting, I have noticed that there are small steel, or at least ferrous, pieces that are in...

I have aquired through my family a 1979 W. PPK/S made in W.Germany chambered in .22LR. I have the origional box, bill of sale and manual with it. It does not have the origional grips, but some hand carved ivorys that look pretty nice. The gun is about 60-70%, some scratches and blue wear, but...

Just joined the NRA, + Question. *UPDATE* If interested in NRA, Please Read I just joined the NRA! Seemed to be about time, finally done with the school stuff, and I figured I can spare a few bucks for ammunition to help keep shooting it. Question: How long does it take for the card and #...

I am interested in hearing of some funny concealment stories. I'll start. I was out with my wife the other night, just doing some shopping. I carry a CZ-75 compact in a SS Comp-Tac Shirt tucker holster. We cruise by the Men's Warehouse, and she says, while we are here, you should get fitted...

In Ohio, is it legal to carry in a mall with a valid CCW permit? There are none of those dadblurned signs on the premise. I ask because I thought it was, but my friend, who is an "expert* (self proclaimed, and must always be taken with a grain of salt) persists that is is a "place of public...

Yesterday I had the chance to fire a full size 1911 for the first time. It was a Colt *thats all I know, sorry*. My normal pistol shooting is my CZ-75 compact in 9mm. I have fired many pistols, dad has some .45 Glocks, some .357 revolvers, and I hunt with a Contender in 44mag. So recoil is...

Went to the range yesterday to practice for deer season in a few weeks. I have an 870 express 12g w/Rslug barrel. Range = 50yds *about the length of shots in my woods* Remington Buckhammer slugs $9.99 @ Dicks for 5 rounds, = $2.00 per shot 50 yards = 1 big ragged hole in center of target...

I need to know the value of a Ruger Security Six Bicentennial edition. Blued, .357, 6" barrel. Its in very good condition. Thanks in advance

I just purchased a CZ-75 D Compact. It came stock with 2 14rnd magazines. Where can I get more? The ones on the CZ website are $35 each, is that what i can expect to pay?

Is it safe? What about +P+? And for defense reasons, would I want to? Is it economical to reload 9mm? Have the tools, would need the dies. The reloads would probably be range fodder, once I have enough practice to bring the bullets accuracy into question, i;ll tailor. Thanks!
