It has just been brought to my attention that Buffalo Wild Wings has made a corporate decision to ban all firearms on their property in the name of "consumer safety". This is, of course, completely their right as a business; and since signs hold no force of law in my state, this would minimally...

Hello boys/gals, My boss and a co-worker booked a 2 day- 4 man hog hunt in Missouri for early January 2013. I was lucky enough to warrant an invitation. It will be open bordered-private land, but they feed the hogs all year 'round; so in winter, the hogs frequent the feeders pretty regularly...

Good morning Sirs and Ladies. Long story short, I have a buddy who made a sporting-equipment-to-gun trade recently and is looking to liquidate an AR-15. Since he took it on trade, he isn't entirely sure about the actual value of the weapon. I know enough to know how much I don't know; so I...

I have a predicament. I really want a solid 2 point sling on my carbine, but I do not know how I am going to go about mounting it on the forend. This is the basic layout of my rifle. And this is the 2 point sling I've settled on. They are lace-through straps on either end. Attaching to...

I recently bought an NC Star 4x32 Tactical Scope with a P4 Sniper illuminated reticle, used from a guy. I figured the price tag was worth the risk of the thing being junk and going to my buddy's airsoft hobby. It was $40 with a 1" UTG weaver Riser that was probably $20 by itself. The guy...

I think I've got myself a problem with my brand new AR-15 Carbine build. I bought this thing a piece at a time and started puting it together, falling in love with it a little more every step, (like you do). And once I get my entire upper assembled, I think I see a problem. I have installed a...

Hello Gents, I have an uncle considering a first AR15 purchase and has inquired to me about the new DPMS Oracle. I largely have not been a DPMS fan, but after doing some research, I think they have made some strides recently to correct some of the issues I have historically had a problem with...

A buddy of mine just told me that he bought a Smith and Wesson SD 40 over the weekend. He really liked the feel of it and tells me it shoots great. Conversation proceeded until he notified me that right after he bought it, he looked into adding to the 2 magazines it came with only to find out...

I'm shooting my 5" Target Model Walther P22 at the range, and the barrel weight screws fall out of the barrel weight... ...those there in the end. Upon further inspection, they are Allen-wrench screws that the previous owner (unbeknown-st to me) had overtightened them and stripped the bit...

Alright guys and gals. This Thursday I am departing on my 3-day Tactical Handgun training weekend at the Tactical Defense Institute in Ohio. http://tdiohio.com/courses/#page=page-12 Here is a list of what I am bringing with me: Boots Shoes Hat Safety Gear Glock 19- 2K rounds of ammunition...

So, I was looking for a nice .22lr handgun for some cheap trigger time and as a training tool; (and some American plinking fun). I spent a lot of time contemplating revolver vs semi-auto, poured over gunbroker and the classifieds, called local gun stores, asked advice, etc... Late last week I...

Okay, so I don't want a Charter Arms Bulldog, or a Taurus. So where are all the 44 Special caliber revolvers? All I can ever find are 44 magnums... I can only really assume that there aren't many, because if you're going to build a cylinder and frame big enough to handle a .44 special, that...

Alright, I just had a friend ask me my oppinion on the Jentra over Travel Stop, and whether or not he should install one in his Glock pistol. To be quite honest, I had no idea what one was and had to look it up. Basically, it's a small metal U-joint that you attatch to the top of your trigger...

Hey ladies and men, I've been away for a while but am returning with a vengeance. I have made the decision to pursue a career in law enforcement. I discussed this at length with my wife and family and have their full support. From some of them, I've received an overwhelming amount of...

So I go home this weekend for Best-Man Duty, and I stop by my grandfather's house. We go down into the cave and he hands me a beer. We shoot the crap for a while and flip through some old photo albums before he leads me back to his gun safe. He tells me that he's going to show me these two...

I caught one of my buddies talking about Jose today. Now I didn't really know what he was talking about outright. His fiancee's name is definitely not Jose... so I took some time to think before I asked him who the heck Jose was. Jose is a 4" black Springfield xD9. It seems I've been...

Okay, everyone knows the .45ACP 1911 is arguably the most recognizable modern pistol in the world. There are .45acp, 9mm, .38 Super, 10mm, even .22lr versions. But for any other platform of semi-auto handgun, there seems to be a place for the .40S&W to squeeze in. Why not in the 1911...

Before I decide between the Springfield Mil-Spec and the RIA Commander as starting guns for my project 1911, I'd like to ask a question that I'm having a hard time answering on my own. How interchangeable are factory 1911 parts from other companies? Now I know magazines and grips are pretty...

Hey all, Next one up for purchase is a Ruger SP101 with a 3" barrel What a gun... I always thought I'd get it in .357 magnum. It's a smaller gun, and I'd like to shoot .38 specials as I'm saving brass from my 637 and starting to look for dies for .38's. When I carried it, I'd carry the full...

I was recently at a family get-together. I was sitting with two of my uncles when the subject of guns and gun rights came up. One of the two actually carries his weapon with him everyday. I've never actually seen his weapon, so we both took out our carry weapons, dropped our magazines and...
