Besides the obvious discrepancy in price, how do these two guns compare? I'm looking to get something in .45ACP and I pretty much have it down to these two. They seem similar in size and weight, and while the trigger systems are different, I would expect both to be competent, accurate, and...

I've just started to get into the reloading world and I'm looking for some suggestions on powder choice for a good starting load. I'm going to be loading for 9mm using either Zero or Montana Gold 124gr FMJ bullets, and I'm looking for something that is economical and will work for target and...

I just purchased a used Sig P6 (P225) from J&G Sales and I'm looking for some replacement grips. I have Hogue grip panels on my P226, which I like quite a bit, but they do not seem to make them for the 225. Anybody know of any place I could find some rubberized grips? Also, is there anything...

Looking for another 9mm in the $500-600 range to keep my P226 company and I've narrowed it down to the following: Glock 34, XD Tactical, CZ 75 SA, and Beretta 92FS. Intended use will be range duty with the potential for use in future IDPA style competition. I have minor gripes about all of...

I'm looking at scopes to top off my AR build and I am torn between a standard plex reticle and the drop compensation reticles. The gun will be used for target duty only and will be shooting .223 from 55-69gr. Anyone have any insight into what would work better? The standard plex seems...

So, I'm out at the range today with my dad and we're shooting various pistols. In the stall next to us, a guy and his son (probably 10 or 12 years old) are setting up to shoot an S&W .357 Magnum revolver with a 4" barrel. The kid takes the gun, fires of one shot fine, fires another one, and...

So I picked up a new P226 today and I was giving it the initial cleaning and rundown before taking it to the range tomorrow. Everything's looking good, but there is some orange residue on one end of the recoil spring that seems ingrained in the spring and won't come off. Is this anything to be...

I was taking a look at Colt's 1911 line on their website (some very nice stuff BTW) and I was wondering if anyone can tell me the major differences between the various lines, e.g 1991, XSE, Gold Cup? Also, what are the differences between the series 70 and 80 fire control systems? Thanks. :D

Does anyone know if they make an extended slide release for the CZ 75 and its variants? I'm looking at picking up an SA model in the future, but the location of the slide lock release is far forward on the frame and its short length means it is difficult to reach with my thumb without canting...

In your opinion, who has the best traditional DA/SA or SA only trigger in a non-1911 9mm autoloader?

I'm contemplating picking up either an CZ SP-01 or a 75 SA for general target and range use. Any thoughts on which would be best for this situation? I'm leaning towards the SA (which I also assume has the better trigger), but it may be more difficult to locate. I'd also like to keep the...

1. Ruger 10/22T - laminated stock, 20" heavy barrel, target model -or- 2. Remington 597 LS HB - laminated stock, 20" heavy barrel I can pick up the 597 for about $250 and the Ruger for $320. Is the 10/22 worth the extra 70 bucks? Also, are the 597's still having feeding problems? Thanks :)

Can someone explain to me the concept of barrel twist or recommend a site that's good? Just looking at one caliber (.223 for example), I see anything from 1 in 7 all the way up to 1 in 12 twist rates. The lower the number, the faster the twist, right? How does this relate to the weight of...

Is a heavy barrel that important to a target rifle? Will it give better overall accuracy? Should I eliminate a rifle from consideration because it doesn't have one if my primary use is target shooting? Thanks :)

I am wanting a new rifle, but I don't know which caliber. Looking for something fun to shoot, relatively inexpensive (gun and ammo), accurate, and preferrably with a heavy style barrel. I am currently looking at .17HMR's on the rimfire side and .223 Remington on the centerfire. Preferrably...

Of these two calibers, given a good bolt-action rifle with a heavy barrel, which would group better at 50 or 100 yards? I've heard a lot of good things about the HMR - are they really as good as I hear?

OK, tell me - what would be the best .22LR rifle for the money? Would you go bolt or autoloader? I'm looking for good accuracy, so are there any decently-priced rifles with heavy bull barrels? If not, can I get away with a well-built standard one? I would be shooting 25-100 yards scoped...

My dad has a Winchester Model 70 chambered in .264 Win Magnum - absolutely beautiful gun. He hasn't shot it in a long time and wants to again. However, looking at the price for ammo puts it at about $25 for a box of 20! Does anyone know if/where I could get it cheaper? BTW, she's real fun to...

Anyone else think the SVT-40 is cool? I've got a thing for WW2 rifles, so maybe that's it. :) I think it would complement my Mosin bolt-action perfectly, but I can't find any around here. Anyone know where they are sold or if they're even available anymore?

I have a dilemma. After being pretty sure i wanted a CZ 75, I handled a few of them. About the only thing I like is the grip. So... I am looking at other options in the lower price range. I can pick up either a Taurus PT99 for about $375 or a Springfield XD Tactical for a little under $500...
