So I'm moving to Utah in a couple of weeks, that means I will be able to carry in class. So I'm trying to think this through so I can do it right. Couple of absolutes first: 1. I wear dockers, long sleaved collared shirt, and cowboy boots to work every day. This is non-negotiable 2. The...

So tell me if I need a new tinfoil hat, but there are times on Gunbroker when I swear the owner of the item has to be bidding me up. I know on ebay there have been cases of people having multiple accounts, they list with one account and then use another account to bid up their item. Anyone...

Been looking looking at pocket .380s lately, (guns that are easy to conceal, can you ever have enough? :D). Held a P238 and a Mustang pocketlite at the local gunstore, really liked em both but haven't had any range time with either. Just looking for general impressions of how these two guns...

By that I mean a gun that gets even more popular AFTER it is discontinued to the point that it achieves near mythical status. I'll throw one out there, I think the Beretta Cheetah could go that way. I think the Cheetah is the finest .380 pistol ever made, and now that they've been...

Came across a Ruger .44 mag carbine, serial number indicates it was made in 1968. Price was $350, so I grabbed it. I know next to nothing about this gun, so are there any big tips or secrets I should know? I'm not planning on feeding it BuffaloBore, but I would like to know how stout this...

Senate Bill 5737 is your typical "assault weapons" ban. Banning semi auto guns with detachable magazines, 10 round limit, etc. The scary part is the "grandfather" provision. If you already own a semi auto, you can keep it; but the Sheriff can inspect your home once a year to ensure that you...

Local gun store has a Makarov IZH-70 in 9mm Makarov on consignment. Price is $269. I was really impressed with the build and feel of the gun. I have heard so many good things about Maks that I've always kept my eye out for one. Problem is, I don't know if thats a good price or potential red...

Want a 1911 in 10mm and can't afford a Colt Delta Elite? Rock Island Armory announced two tactical 1911's in 10mm at the SHOT show. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/01/26/rock-island-armory-releases-two-new-10mm-1911s/ No price has been announced yet, really hoping that its cheap...

My dad is looking for a pair of shooting gloves to reduce recoil so arthritis doesn't keep him from shooting his beloved Smith and Wesson .357. This is one area of shooting where I don't have any suggestions for him and could use some help. Thanks guys.

I handled a Smith 329 PD in .44 mag today. I've never shot one, but the price is really good ($600), but I've got concerns. How bad is the recoil? Would I only ever shoot .44 specials in it? How durable is it? I know it won't take the heavy load buffalo bore and double tap stuff, but can it...

So I've assembled my fair share of AR-15s in my time, and thoroughly enjoyed doing it. So to borrow a line from Johnny Cash, what other guns are there out there that you can build "one piece at a time?"

So I'm in the market for a woods gun. In my area I can get a new GP-100, 6 inch barrel, .357 mag for $550. Depending on the auction, I can get a used Ruger Redhawk .44 mag for roughly the same price. I'm pretty set on double action Ruger, not a Taurus fan, and Smith and Wesson is just out of...

So what was the worst day in firearms history? What is the day that we should all wear black for in mourning? Some ideas: The day the Gun Control act passed The day the Brady bill was passed The day the Assault weapons ban was passed The day Colt stopped making double action handguns The day...

Its accepted that with FMJ loads, the .45 ACP is more effective than the 9mm or .40 S&W; but what about the 10mm? I'm using BuffaloBore loads as my reference: 10mm: 200 gr @ 1200 FPS and 639 FT-lbs of energy .45 ACP: 230 gr @ 950 FPS and 461 FT-lbs of energy So the 10mm has considerably more...

I was only 14 when the first AWB was passed, but how available were AR-15 parts while the AWB was in effect? If a guy had a stockpile of AR-15 stripped lowers, would you be able to find the parts you needed to build AR-15's while the ban was in place? With the current political climate, I'm...

I'm new to the AK-47 world, decided to finally take the plunge. I've heard guys bash Romanian AK's, Hungarian AK's, and really bash Chinese AK's. So for all those with more experience than me, what variant of AK-47 is the most reliable? Thanks guys.

The Arsenal AF2011-A1 double barrel 1911. Still getting my head around this one. http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/2012/03/10/arsenal-af2011-a1-double-barrel-1911/ Personally, if I want a overly-large, overly powerful, handgun with questionable application I think I'll just buy a Desert...

There have been thousands of threads about the smallest suitable caliber for self-defense, if the .380 is enough, can a .357 stop a grizzly, etc. However, I can't remember a thread about the largest caliber you are willing to carry for self defense, so lets do it. Break it down into two...

In my never ending quest to find the hottest .40 180gr FMJ round I can afford for shooting bowling pins, I picked up a box of RWS ammo today ($16 for a box of 50). Anyone have any experience with this stuff? I know RWS makes some good air rifles.......:D...

Anyone have any experience with this round, pros and cons? I've never seen a 200 gr load in the .40 and I'm curious about it. I also know DoubleTap has a reputation for inflating their stats some, has anyone ran some of these through a chrony? Caliber : .40 S&W Bullet : 200gr. Wide Flat Nose...
