As a bit of background, I'm a spec-4 11B in a National Guard unit (3 yrs in - 1 active, 2 guard). I'm in a scout platoon that has a sniper section attached. I am not going to be a sniper and am not interested in doing so, but I do have a squad marksman school coming up soon. I also have a May...

I know castle doctrine removes duty to retreat. I have a specific incident that happened merely a few days ago. I know what my actions would have been had things turned out a bit differently, but I don't know if they would have been legal. The short version is I heard a guy trying to break...

Hello all. I have a year and a half before deployment, but I also have an SDM school slot coming in the spring. I've decided this is the perfect excuse (with a legitimate reason behind it) for buying a new rifle. The more trigger time I get now, the better off I'll be in school and...

Anyone have any experience with them? I'm not a big series 80 fan, and I know colt had been down on quality in recent years. I know they've reintroduced the series 70. How's the quality on it? I examined a Gunsite model at the gun store today, and it looked quite nice, but $1000 for a used...

If they do, is it most likely to be a P220 based single stack or a P226 based double stack? I think a P226 in 10mm would make the perfect platform for a fullsize 4 caliber gun. I'd sure as hell buy one.

To convert a .40 P229 to shoot 9mm, you just need a 9mm barrel and magazine, right?

There was a lot of ink spilled about this cartridge when introduced, and it seemed to show a lot of promise, but it's faded into oblivion as far as I know. Any particular reason? To a lesser extent, what about .400 corbon as well?

I'm definately not going to sell it. I'm just wondering what they're going for these days. 95% condition, bought new as a gift for my grandfather in '58.

I remember reading an article in Guns&Ammo comparing these two both for velocity and accuracy in a variety of guns/barrel lengths (4 each IIRC) when the .357sig was still relatively new on the market. How do they really compare ballistically and effectively from a personal defense standpoint...

How big will this thing get? Which countries can we reasonably assume will jump into it on which sides? I'm under the impression it'll end up a much wider scale struggle than Desert Storm ever thought about being. Will this thing escalade to WWIII? Obviously I'm just looking for educated...

Sig lists their hicap 9mm P226 as 15 rounds, but their .40cal as only 12. Is this right? I know for the P229, it's 13 for the 9mm and 12 for the .40cal. If the P226 can hold an extra 3 9mm over the P229, why can the P226 not hold at least 1 more in .40?? This just doesn't make sense to me.

My only rifle currently is my deer rifle - a browning a-bolt II .270win. It's a pretty nice shooter, but gets too expensive to shoot on a regular basis. I'm looking for something in some sort of military caliber to shoot for cheap (.223, .308, 7.62x39) that is fun and pretty accurate. A...

I was kind of set on a P229 in .40/.357, but after thinking about it, a P226 seems like a very good choice as well for my needs. I'll probably be about 60% shooting 40% carry. I don't have my CCP yet and plan to get it soon, but I do not plan to carry everyday. How much more difficult would...

Hi all. I've been lurking a couple days now and have liked what I've seen. A little background info (I'll try to keep this short) -- I'm currently a broke college student scraping together money to pick up a P229 in .40 and am going to get a CCP soon. I spent a couple years working at a...
