I bought the 45 ACP combo pack from DoubleTap. It came with a box of 185grain (1225fps), 200 grain (1125fps), and 230 grain (1014fps) bonded (aka Gold Dot) JHP bullets. I have been firing them at the range and they are stout. The 185 is loudest while the 230 has the most kick. They are all a...

I am looking for a Browning Hi Power. The full capacity version of this gun holds thirteen rounds in a magazine. I have had some difficulty finding this model in stock. I did manage to locate one in the ten round capacity version. Am I correct in thinking that the only difference between this...

I need a gun safe for my house. I have a small collection of pistols (7) and a few rifles (3), and would need all but my SHTF piece to stay in there. I would like to spend under $300 if possible. Any suggestions? I live in New Jersey and am willing to drive and pick it up or order it over the...

I have a Ruger PC-9. I was wondering if there is a general rule regarding accuracy in carbines that shoot pistol calibers. Do I want to use the largest bullets so there is more surface area to catch onto the rifling? I handload and picked up some 147 grain bullets. I'll be trying them out soon...

I recently purchased a Marlin Levergun in 44mag and enjoyed shooting it at the range. The whole time I was on the fence about whether to get the 357 or the 44mag. Knowing that the grass is always greener, I have been interested in maybe swapping out mine for the same gun in 357. I reload in both...

I have a well used Cougar in 45ACP. It has always digested my 230 grain ball ammo with no problems. I also handload 200 grain semi-wadcutter ammo with no problems. Today I tried putting some DoubleTap JHP Personal Defense ammo through it -180grain, 200 grain, and 230grain (I bought the variety...

I have the newest Lyman book. I was thinking about picking up either the newest Speer or Hornady book. Does anyone have any recommendations?

The BATF web site does not allow you to verify C&R FFLs through its EZ-Check. I am selling a 50+ year old pistol, so I know it qualifies as C&R (after reading the BATF website). My buyer has a C&R license and I want to do my due diligence by checking it. How do I go about this? Thanks.

I know that for a while FN and Browning were both making the Hi-Power (Browning is owned by FN, I think). I checked the FN USA web site and don't see it listed. I do see it on the Browning site. Does FN still make the Hi-Power? Thanks.

Is this a no-no? I know better than to do it on my S&W K-22. On the other hand, my Ruger 22/45 said that it was OK to dry fire. I have a Winchester Wildcat, and Winchester's website is one of the worst I have ever seen (next to Glock anyway). There is no FAQ section at all.

I have been enjoying shooting a friend's old 22 rifle at my target range. I was thinking about getting one for myself. It won't be scoped since the range has a max distance of 30 yards. I am interested in getting a bolt action non-single shot rifle. Does anyone have any recommendations for me...

I am trying to create 44Special-powered loads for my Marlin lever rifle and Ruger Bisley, but still using my 44Magnum brass (for accuracy and feeding). My reloading manuals say to use 17.5 grains of 2400 or 11 grains of 800X as the starting load. This is certainly less powerful than the loads...

I belong to a shooting range where the max distance is 25 yards. I am looking for a fun-to-shoot rifle in a pistol caliber I reload in already (10mm, 357mag, 44mag, and 45ACP) to save me some money and because it seems silly to go with rifle calibers at such a short distance. I enjoyed shooting...

I have been checking Gunbroker and AuctionArms sites and see Freedom Arms revolvers in 454Casull, but with an additional cylinder in 45Colt. I am confused. I thought part of the allure the 454Casull was that you could shoot 45Colt through it (i.e. like 44 special through a 44magnum). Does anyone...

I am torn here. I am looking to pick up a gun in a new caliber. I currently own: Springfield 1911 Loaded - 9mm HK P7M8 - 9mm S&W K-38 - 38sp S&W 28-2 - .357 Colt Gold Cup - 45acp S&W 25-2 - 45 acp Living in the People's Republic of Jersey, my pistols are strictly range toys and home defense. I...

I am a natural lefty and my left eye had always been the dominant one (I shoot with one eye closed). All was right in the world. Unfortunately, with age I developed keratoconus in my left eye, leaving my vision in it a little cloudy. Now my right eye is the dominant one. I am still shooting...

From what I understand, the stainless GC has the Champion sights and the blued version has the Elliason sights. I don't have know the difference between the two but have read on 1911 forums about the Elliason coming loose, having a bad roll pin, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this...

I used to have a HK P2000 in 9mm, so I am familiar with the size and handling. I have seen a good deal on the P2000 and P2000SK in 357 Sig and am wondering which I should get. Are there any important factors for me to consider? Is recoil or flash too much in the shorter SK model? It may end up...

I have finally discovered that I can't shoot doublestack pistols very well and that the 1911 single stack is the best fit for me. My favorite semi-auto guns: Colt Commander and my HK P7M8. The ones I have sold: Glock 21, and now my Beretta M9. Anyway, I have been looking out there for a nice...

I have a Beretta M9 and find the grips to be a little thick for my liking. I have big gorilla hands with stubby fingers. This caused me to end up selling my Glock 21. I am considering swapping the Beretta for another 9mm and have read good things about the BHP. I like its 1911-ish ergonomics...
