I don't post much but I've been around a while. I have a potential scenario and am interested in feedback from the community. Imagine an active shooter situation, say one or possibly multiple assailants, in a large, "auditorium" type environment. Obviously, to engage and eliminate the threat...

I started off shooting wheelguns back in the day but like a lot of people migrated to semi-auto's and now find myself without a good revolver. Recently I've had a couple of run-ins with some dogs and started reading up on ways to protect one's self from such things. I figure a good revolver...

I've owned so many different guns I can't keep up. I've had tons of ultra compact "pocket rockets" and with every one I feel undergunned. I finally sold off my last one recently and went back to a true compact gun, my tried and true, and all-time favorite, GLOCK 19. I just decided to adjust my...

I helped my mom buy a 22LR handgun to use for home defense. She can't handle anything more due to some physical issues. I don't believe most hollowpoint ammo will open up at the lower velocities the handgun can produce. Any recommendations for solids which would be good for defensive use?

I picked up a newer version of the LCP recently (better trigger, improved sights) and like it. I bought a Ruger 7 round magazine for it and wasn't able to get the magazine latch to catch and hold the magazine in, loaded or empty. I took the magazine apart and cleaned and inspected it and all...

I had an LCP a while back and liked it a lot. I've always liked the Kel-Tec design/platform but wasn't crazy about the trigger or the sights. I decided recently I could live with these issues to get the benefit of a gun this size (I have no problem with 380 for defensive use). Well, I picked it...

My wife and I had some identity theft issues a while back so we got off pretty much every list of everything out there. We got mail maybe once or twice a week for several years. Everything is under control now and I'd like to get back on some catalog/mailing lists. I've got Cabela's, Dillon...

I'm a long-time shooter, been on this forum for ages, though I mostly just lurk. Anyway, I want to start doing some reloading for one of my guns, a Glock 20. I don't shoot much right now, I have other stuff taking up my time. And I live in a small place with close neighbors so noise and storage...

I just picked up an 870 which needs some TLC. I paid $150 for it so I don't mind spending a little to get it right. The first issue is the magazine retainer. It's the newer plastic style. I prefer the older metal retainer. If I flatten out the dimples in the tube, can I run the older style...

My deep concealment gun is a Ruger LCP which I pocket carry in a cheapy Uncle Mike's holster. I have zero problems with any of my clothes from running shorts to Wrangler jeans. But it seems my Carhartts are hard to keep it concealed. I often find myself shoving my hand in my pocket just to make...

I keep an old 870 in my vehicle whenever I go, well, anywhere. It is outfitted with a 20" rifle sighted smooth bore barrel that accepts Remington chokes. I have an Improved Cylinder choke in it now and it's stoked with some older rifled Federal slugs. It shoots these well out to 75 yards or so...

Anyone else blown away by Tikkas? I just picked up a T3 Lite Stainless in .308. This rifle is amazing. I wish I would have bought it sooner. Do you guys use the rings that came with the rifle? I haave them mounted now, but don't know how long they will last. Who makes some good replacement rings?

I picked up my rifle yesterday. I went with the Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in 7mm-08. This thing has a detachable magazine, a light contour barrel, a really nice piece of walnut with a satin finish and raised cheekpiece on a European looking, straight comb stock and weighs in at a little over...

I have a Remington 870 Police in 12 Gauge. It is a parkerized gun so nothing goes with it (as far as accessory barrels, etc.). It has an 18" imp. cyl. bead front sight barrel and a Wilson magazine extension. It is my home defense shotgun. I need a shotgun (this one, or a different one entirely)...

I just bought a Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in 7mm-08 and a Nikon Buckmaster 4x40 scope to put on it. I am probably going to use some Leupold rings (because I have some laying around) which means I will use a Leupold base. What's better and why? A one piece base or a two piece base? I have...

I want to put a peep sight on my (soon to be) new Winny Ranger Compact. I plan to use it out to no more than 150-175 yards max. What are my options?

I can get a Liberty Centurion 23 cubic foot safe locally for $650.00. I like this safe and think the price is about right. Can anyone give me any last minute advice prior to purchasing it? I plan to put it in my garage where I have limited space. I also cannot afford a larger safe. Is this a...

I carry a S&W 637 in my pocket and am looking for the best defensive load for a .38 snubby. I would like to know what everyone uses and why. Ballistic info would be great. I use CorBon ammo now but haven't looked at .38 ammo in a few years, hence my question.

I need a new Mossberg 88 barrel. What is a good place to find one on the internet? Mossberg has them for $71.00. Can I find them any cheaper? Thanks guys.

I bought a Tacstar magazine extension for my Remington 870. The two bumps in the stock magazine won't let the shells or the plastic stopper go past the end of the stock magazine. I don't really want to file them off as this will alter the gun irepairably. Is there some other way to make it work?
