    Indestructible range bag

    Hey guys. I'm in the market for a new range bag, and I don't want to skimp on anything. Money isn't too much of an option, and my highest priority is build quality. I want the most indestructible, bulletproof bag I can get my hands on. If it's cheap, that's fine, but "best value for the...

    Next step?

    Hey guys. I've been reloading for several weeks now and I'm looking to make my routine a little more efficient. At this point, I'm only reloading .38 and using a Lee hand press and the kit that came with it, plus a few other things I've picked up along the way. I've gotten pretty quick with...

    CRAP, bullets too short

    Hey guys...I'm new to reloading and I just made my second batch of 158 38 FMJ with 4.9 gr Unique. Just realized that the published OAL in my Lyman manual is 1.480 but for some reason I thought it had said 1.448. SO I ended up seating about 60 bullets between 1.455 and 1.450, and that's a...

    Make reloads shoot higher or lower?

    Hey all. I'm about to get started into reloading (supplies should be getting to me within the week!) and I had a quick question. I'll be loading standard pressure 158 grn .38 to start out. The reason for 158 is it's the only bullet weight I've found that shoots POA with my snubbie (and only...

    New S&W 640 Pro

    This gun is several firsts...my first revolver and my first true carry gun. My only other gun is a Beretta 92FS, which is a bit uncomfortable to carry. Just got it yesterday, shot it for the first time today. The trigger pull is heavy like all DA snubbies, but it's super slick with no...

    What to tell police if no shots fired?

    So I hate to post a scenario, but this is something that I've been wondering about and I can't find a thread on this specific topic. Say you were in a situation where the use of deadly force was completely justified (let's say the BG has a knife or other weapon) and you drew your carry gun...

    Dull gray trigger, shiny frame

    I'll be purchasing a S&W J frame stainless revolver soon, and I was wondering about something I noticed. Why do stainless S&Ws (and perhaps other brands too, I'm not sure) come with ugly, dull gray triggers but a polished (or at least matte finished), slick-looking frame? Why not clean up the...

    Good Deal?

    So I was at a gun show today and saw a police trade-in Kahr K9 for $485 OTD. I don't remember if night sights were on it and I'm assuming it came with the single mag that was in it. It was a little dirty but didn't look any worse for wear. I didn't try to haggle with the guy because I didn't...

    Does this 1911 exist?

    I'm curious as to whether a 1911 with these specs even exists: All stainless (NO aluminum frame) 9mm Small size...preferably 3 inch barrel Kimber makes the Ultra Carry II in 9mm with a stainless finish, but has an aluminum frame. I think I've also found a stainless 1911 that meets the size...

    Carry gun on a thin frame

    So I've recently purchased a Beretta 92fs (my first firearm) and love it. However, I'd like to take a CCW course and start carrying something. The problem is I'm a pretty thin guy at 6'0" and 130 lbs (read: beanpole), and I have a feeling that the Beretta would protrude like a tumor on me...

    This is bad...

    So after much reading, renting/shooting and gun fondling over the past few weeks, I just purchased my first gun yesterday evening; a new Beretta 92fs. I shot it for the first time today, putting 100 rounds through it. It was awesome. On my drive home I started thinking "Man, I need to get a...

    Conversion kits for non-CZ guns?

    Hey all. I'll soon be making the purchase of my first gun, but I haven't quite decided what I want yet. This is mostly for range shooting, but it would be nice for it to double for home defense. Carrying is not a priority at this point. Anyway, after a lot of reading, I've discovered that a...

    Ever been in a situation where you needed your gun?

    Hi all, I have a question I've been wondering about since I've made the decision to buy a gun (haven't made the purchase yet...still reading and shopping). I've been contemplating taking a CCW course and getting a permit, but I can't help but wonder if I would ever need it. In my 27 years of...
