In another thread, someone mentioned having to explain to a juror the type of ammo used. "I wouldn't wanna have to explain to a jury in a court of law why I used it." My question is what do you use for SD/HD ammo? Does the thought of having to explain your ammo choice to a juror affect your...

Lately I have been leaving my CCW in my truck when I visit a place that is a gun free zone. I usually lock it in my glove box or center console. My dilemma is that it would not take much for someone to defeat these locks to get to my gun. Does anybody here use something else to secure your...

I thought I would share this. They teach "what to do" during an active shooter event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VcSwejU2D0&feature=player_embedded

I have shot rifles using a rest, but I have never shot a pistol using a rest. How do you do it? What type of rest do you use? How big of a difference does it make in your groups at 7, 15, or 25 yards (farther if you shoot it)?

I have been waiting for this pistol. I have not even seen one in person until last Thursday during a customer appreciation dinner. It felt really nice in my hands and the trigger was pretty nice too. They gave away one that night but it was not my lucky night. Anyway, the LGS that had put on...

M16 A4 Build is finally complete. It seemed like forever when I started but in reality it took less than a couple of months. I set out a build an M16 A4 clone. My requirements were must have the A2 stock parts, 20" 1 in 7 twist barrel, A2 front sight and a detachable carry handle rear sight...

I'm looking at BCM and Palmetto State for a 20" barrel for my M16A4 clone build (so no bull barrels or stainless). The BCM is out of stock and the Palmetto is in stock but costs more than the BCM. Out of these two which one would you pick? What other manufacturers make Milspec 20" barrel?

I bought my Sig Sauer 1911-22 last Friday and was really excited about it. I did an initial review with a promise of a range review. http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=480292 I was pretty busy on Saturday and was unable to get to the range. On Sunday, I had a few things to do...

I had looked at one before at a LGS but when I went back last weekend to take a closer look it was sold. Today, I went to Academy Sports to get some ammo and they had a Sig 1911-22 on display. After looking it over and thinking how I was going to explain to the boss that I bought yet another...

I know this is really new as far as powder goes. http://www.hodgdon.com/new_prod.html Anybody have a chance to use it yet?

So I was cleaning my 1911s and a thought got into my head. I wonder if my SA Milspec barrel would fit in my SIG. So I assembled the Sig using the SA barrel. Well I'll be darn, the SA barrel fit. I did the function check and it passed. I did not check to see if my Sig barrel fit the SA...

I think I'm finally going to do my first Ar15 build. this will most likely be a 20" rifle to simulate a M16. The LGS offerings are DPMS for $109 and M&P 15 for $130. Are those a good price? I'm also going to the gun show today to look for a stripped lower. What are some brands to stay away...

I did a bad thing today. Usually I am a research type of guy. I will research way in advance prior to any gun purchase, but today, I saw this and bought it without as much as looking it up on the internet. Here it is! Sig Sauer 1911 TACPAC. Came with two 8 rd mags, a paddle holster with...

Today I took my SR22 to the range with much anticipation. It rained early in the morning and it was still cloudy with a slight wind when I arrived at the range. I brought five different ammo; CCI Standard Velocity, CCI AR Tactical (only had 20 rds available), Federal Auto Match, Federal 550...

Just picked it up today. Took it apart and gave it a good cleaning. Sharing the pics tonight. Range time Friday and review after.

I'm in the market for a 22lr pistol. I've narrowed it down to these three. I did the internet research (read through the manufacturer's info, reviews and forum discussions). I then went to my LGSs and admired them up close. Each one felt good in my hands. All three look good as far as build...

Stopped by gun shop to browse and found a used Sig P220. Made an offer and ir was accepted. So I know it has a lot of wear but really I'm just hoping for a good functioning and hopefully reliable gun. The store does stand behind each sale and will fix if any problem. Will post pics later.
