About a month or so ago I picked up my first AR15 in 5.56. Now I am looking at adding an optic and I figured on a $200 budget there would be very few if any available. Come to find out that for $200, there seems to be quite a few offerings from reputable manufacturers. I am looking at a 2-7 or...

I had two Gen3 Glock 17's. Well today, my father-in-law was enamored with the high capacity of the G17, especially the 33 round magazine that I had for it. We traded even for his Belgian model Browning Hi-Power that he has had for the last 25-30 years. Finish in in great shape. but n o...

My first handgun was an M&P 9 FS plagued with the accuracy issues. I switched to Glocks and didn't look back....until I shot a friends M&P 40 FS with an APEX DCAEK installed. What a difference! I shot it not only better than with my G17 and G19 (both of which reminded me of th BTF issues)...

Found this earlier today on Cheaper Than Dirt :D Apparently they are selling guns again, haha. 8 rounds, $599...not bad!

I ran across a couple Sig P225's (P6) for under $500 but they're imported by Century International Arms :confused: They seem to be in good shape but a Sig imported by another company for under $500 makes me a little unsure. Is this a good buy for a used P225? If so, why is Century importing them?

I recently purchased a handgun from a LEO and it was a private sale. Should I go to my LGS to have the gun registered in my name? I do plan on carring the gun. I ask this because not too long ago, I was given a handgun and was going to trade it to a guy for a rifle. The guy called in the SN on...

I thought this might be a fun thread to do. I'm sure there are guns we all wish manufacturers would make so lets hear about them. Mine: 1. A Makarov pistol chambered in 9x19. 2. Single Stack Glock in 9 / 40 / 357.

This guy has a Glock 17 Gen3 for sale. It comes with 3 mags and 200 rounds of Federal Ammo for $450. The guy said he's only put 10 rounds through it. He's a LEO and bought it as a cheaper alternative to shoot to his Duty G22 but with work and kids he's not had time to. He said just needs to free...

What is the actual length of the slide on a Glock 19/23? Glock USA website lists it as 7.28" (on Gen 4 models) but Glock.com (non US website) lists it as 6.8". :confused:

I'm looking to put night sights on my M&P and need some help on choosing a brand. I'm looking at: Meprolights XS Big Dots TruGlo TFO What would be my best option? They are equally priced.

I'm looking to do a trigger job on my M&P 9 FS and until now I have been considering the APEX DCAEK for it. However I was recently directed to Bowie Tactical Concepts (BTC) and their price is about the same as the APEX kit but my understanding is that they (BTC) do the work on it as well. M&P...

I was reading an excerpt about how special forces select the weapons they use and former Navy SEAL Richard Machowicz (the host of FutureWeapons) put it this way: "The mission dictates the target, the target dictates the weapons and the weapons dictate how they're used." So my question is what...

I know Glock has had some issues with the extractors and ejectors, what should I look for when I handle on to make sure its the latest version with all the kinks worked out? I'm considering a Gen4, what is the update on the recoil springs?

Since the release of the Shield there has been a few places that I've heard/read that S&W will be releasing a new version of the M&P with and updated trigger, much like the one in the shield. I have handled the shield and I must say the trigger, especially the reset, is an improvement over the...

My birthday was a few days ago so my best friend agreed that he would take me to a rental range and put it on his tab. Today we went and did just that. We got 1000 rounds of 9mm and 1000 rounds of 45 ACP and hit it to the rental counter. Our 9mm's included: Beretta PX4 Compact Glock 19 Gen 4...

As stated in the title, what would be your first choice as a go to war pistol. We all know a rifle of some sort would be preferred but I'm talking strictly a SINGLE pistol that you would trust your life on that you consider to be dead nuts reliable. What would it be and what caliber? Lastly, it...

I really like the Glock model 30 and I also really like the new mag releases on the Gen 4 models, so this begs the question: when will we see a G30 Gen4?? Anyone know if its in the works?

After extensive research, I've settled on purchasing another M&P to compliment my M&P 9mm. However, I'm uncertain as to if I want to go with the 40 S&W or the 45 ACP. I will be reloading so cost is not as much of an issue. But is the 45 ACP worth giving up 5 rounds??? Additionally, I have...

For a long time now I've been wanting to get a Glock. Yesterday, I went to a new LGS and he has Gen 3's in stock for $480. I asked him if they were on sale or if it was a special price and he said no. He told me that he could get them at that price "all day". I know the Gen 4 19's have had...

I love the way a H&K pistol looks with those sights that have the green hue to them. What brand are they? Are they factory sights or factory night sights? The closest I've seen are Meprolight. Just curious.
