    So, I'm shooting the Gen5 tomorrow...

    My local range held a contest, and I was drawn to be what they say will be "the first person to shoot a commercial Gen5. No word yet in what model, it goes down at 8am. I've won some free Glock swag - Range bag, sports bottle, and a few other things. I'll take tons of pics if I'm allowed and...

    My son made me this gun-themed chess set for Christmas...

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, but my 11 year old son made this for me for Christmas. King: .280 Queen: 20 gauge Bishop: .500 Magnum Knight: .45 Colt Rook: .357 Magnum Pawns: 9mm And the BEST part is that the log round that makes the board is from a tree, the first he ever cut...

    New Smith & Wesson Carry Gun!

    Picked up a Smith & Wesson 627-5 Performance Center. What's not to like? It's got the capacity of a 1911, the superiority of magnum rounds, the ease of reloads with full moon clips, the compactness of a boot grip/short barrel, the rugged reliability of a revolver, and the smooth trigger action...

    Help with dating a Remington Model 11 20-gauge

    Dear Forum Friends, My 13-year-old son received a beautiful Remington Model 11 20-gauge as a birthday present 3 years ago on his 10th birthday. Since then, he has become quite the dove and quail hunter, and has a personal best of 148 skeet shot in a row. I say all that to let you know this kid...

    An honest question about striker-fire and young kids

    Recently, I made a switch from dedicated revolver guy to a striker-fired .45 ACP for capacity and ease of reload sake. I am intentionally leaving gun brands out of the equation, and am merely talking safety here, so please follow suit. :) I have four kids, two who are old enough to be gun...

    In praise of Tucker Gun Leather

    My choice to carry a revolver CONFIRMED in a big way...

    I attended a two-day course on Friday and Saturday in Basic Pistol, Defensive Handgun 1 and Defensive Handgun 2. I was one of 38 students. There were four of us with revolvers. At the beginning of the course weekend, we all had to check our firearms in with the staff for a safety and function...

    New "Master Series" Lasergrips from Crimson Trace

    After having some issues with my factory installed burlwood-finished polymer grips, the fine folks at Crimson Trace upgraded me to their new "Master Series". I chose model 905, a G10 red-dot product in black and grey. I really like the way it grips in my hand, like the way it works, and I even...

    Rifle for Tender Shoulder

    For those that want to skip the story, my question is in red below. So, I'm wanting to hunt this year. My region of Washington is full of deer and elk, and my wife wants me to fill up the freezer (yep, I picked a good one). I haven't hunted since high school, when I hunted often with my dad...

    A very cool photo...

    My friend Sean Fields took this - he's a professional photographer. The shooter is his son. It's a Glock 40 - and the timing of this shot is stunning.

    Quick advice needed: Sig 1911 C3

    I just picked up a Sig Sauer 1911 C3 on a great trade at the local Cabela's. The gentleman who assisted me with my purchase told me that on Sig 1911's, it is recommended that you put 500 rounds downrange before you ever break it down or clean it. He said this has to do tight tolerances at the...
