I normally carry at the 4:00 position and most of my holsters are made for this. I have well made holsters by DeSantis, Simply Rugged and several others. Still, there are times when I feel that people are more likely to scope me out because that's where most people look when they want to see if...

I would like to get opinions on folding multi-tools that are specific to the AR-15. What are you using? Have you found one necessary? I noticed the NcStar AR-15 Combo Multi-Tool at a recent gun show and it looked interesting. Any opinions on that?

I'm thinking of buying a 1911 carry pistol. I'm thinking along the lines of an Officer's 3.5" model. It seems that most gun companies are now building a 1911 and it is time consuming to do all the comparisons. They all claim to build a high quality product and my 1911 experience is limited to...

A few years ago I bought a 3rd issue Colt Detective Special as a carry piece. It fit my hand well and carried and shot like a dream. I paid about $350 with FFL fees and the gun is in fair shape, showing holster wear and it had some light pitting on the sideplate when I bought it. Evidently this...

What is the difference, if any, between Remington Golden Saber and Remington's newer HD ammo? In .45 ACP, I see that the GS is 185 grain while the HD is 230 grain. Aside from bullet weight, what else is different? I can't tell from the published literature. Thanks.

I don't own a Glock but I have started looking at them. In particular, I was checking out the Glock 19. I was trying to download a G19 owners manual from the Glock site but couldn't find it. I like to read owners manuals of guns before I buy. I'm not sure that I want this gun, just trying to...

I have the feeling that I should log my shooting according to which gun I shot, how many rounds, type of ammo, etc. However, I often make notes but forget to log them in. Sometimes I go to the range spontaneously and pop off a few rounds with my carry gun and those rounds don't really get...

I plan to buy a 4" Ruger Redhawk .44 Magnum revolver. Also, I plan to buy this Galco outdoorsman holster for it. http://store.packinheatleather.com/bgadaoduacou.html The thing is I want a black holster to match my belt but it is only offered in tan. What is the best way to dye the holster...

I just saw "The Tournament". Maybe I'm bit late seeing this but I don't see a lot of new movies and this one came out in 2009. This film was a good one for those who like to see guns starring in the movie. In this particular film there were a good assortment of firearms and a whole lot of...

I just went through this exercise (argument) with a friend and I thought it would be good to get everyone else's input. I could list a hundred reasons but I will start with just one and let everyone else add their one reason. This could be fun. Please resist the urge to write a complete treatise...

At some recent gun shows, I saw some nice handguns that were evidently police trade-ins or guns previously carried by police or federal officers. By whatever means, these guns end up on the civillian market with police shield markings, officer names or initials or other ID engraved into the...

My Detective Special .38 tends to shoot high and to the left at 15 feet. The disparity increases with more distance from the target. I have heard others tell that their DS guns shoot high and to the left so I don't think this is uncommon. The question is what should I do about it? The sights are...

I want to rebarrel my Taurus model 66 from a six inch barrel to something shorter, probably three inch. Has anyone here done a similar project and what advice can you give? Thanks.
