    Firing without a magazine

    Ok admittedly this question is only because I'm curious. I have absolutely no plan to attempt this, and no real reason why I'd want to. I know some guns have a magazine safety. Some like it, some don't. My question isn't really related to it's usefulness. What I'd like to know though, is it...

    Burgulary suspect calls 911

    While this turned out ok, and perhaps would be considered a legal move in Texas (although I'm not entirely sure of that if the suspect didn't have property that he moved from the residence), I think there's a LOT of things that were done wrong here...

    Summer Special P226 vs P229

    Has anyone tried using their P226 in a Milt Sparks Summer special 2 made for a P229? I ask because there is a P229 railed version at brownells, but it looks like a P226 railed version would require the 16-22 week wait.

    1911 fans - caliber or platform poll

    I'm just curious on this one. For you 1911 guys, I'm assuming it's more the platform and less the caliber, but I know lots of you highly prefer the 45 regardless. I'm also going to figure most would choose a 3rd option of join the revolution until someone makes a 45 acp 1911, but if you could...

    Mom runs off burglars

    Ok so just to add tactics. 1. something to say about calling police (not that we don't love you because we do) 2. something to say about HAVING a gun. 3. something to say about dogs (although I do like dogs as part of the overall plan). mom-runs-off-burglars

    unspent rounds

    What's the usual etiquette when you're on an indoor firing range and you get a malfunction or something and you don't plan on firing the round any more? Do you just toss it into the "spent rounds area" (this range is electronic, so there's a barrier)? Do you put it aside & give it to the crew...

    MGW & the M&P compact

    Anyone had problems getting their M&P compact slide in the M&P specific MGW sight pusher? My slide rails don't seem to go into the grooves. Very frustrated. Edit: specifically the MGW318

    Subsonic

    I recently noticed subsonic 9mm ammo for sale. I realize this is often specifically for use in suppressors, but is there any added benefit for non-suppressed firearms? Would it have less recoil & less noise? Significantly? I ask due to trying to help my 12 year old graduate up to the 9mm...

    M19/G19

    I've been at local sporting goods stores and I've noticed something that I confused me. In the case would be your standard G19. Right next to it would be another G19 labeled "M19". I do see another forum attempt to explain it here, but you wouldn't think the same store would have a two...

    The CCW pull over

    I was recently pulled over (about 2 days after reading more than my fair share of the Ohio PD incident). It was the first time I had my CCW, and ironically I was coming home from the range. Because of that I actually had my weapon(s) in the trunk. After the standard "hands on the wheel, both...

    Sig P224

    So I'm watching the latest issue of Guns & Ammo tv and they show the Sig P224. Apparently taken from a P229, the grip was shortened and maybe the slide? Anyway a more concealeable "Classic" series sig. I only mention it because I was coming here to read a little bit about it but didn't see...
