    Converting an older 870 to home defense platform

    I have an older 870 that was my FiL’s old bird gun. It has a 30” barrel and the stock is in rough shape but I was thinking it would be a good home defense weapon. My main concern is getting the barrel shortened. We don’t have a gun smith in our community. Any thoughts on what I would need to...

    P320 FCU

    I have a Sig 320 Nitron Carry. Found a good deal on a full size conversion 9 mm kit so I jumped on it. I received it today and my FCU will not work in the new grip module.

    How long did it take you to get used to EDC?

    I have been carrying off and on but not daily. In the most part it is due to the fact I work at a medical facility that would not allow me to carry. On the weekend and days off I am not consistent do to comfort for the most part. I have a Ruger LC9s as my carry gun, I have tried different...

    Sig P320 Night site issue

    I put Tritium Night sites on my Sig P320 carry. I like the briteness but I am having big time accuracy issues. I am not consistent at all! Just can’t get used to the site picture. The only thing that seems at all consistent is I am shooting low. Any thoughts? I know it is probably hard to give...

    I am planning an elk trip as an early retirement gift to me:) I have a 25.06 I use for deer and coyotes and plan on combining the hunt with a possible Pronghorn hunt, my current set up is not suitable for elk. Thinking of a Savage 111 308 or 7mm mag. That is what my 25.06 is and I am very happy...

    Sig P938 thoughts?

    I am thinking about replacing my LC9s with a P938 for my carry gun. My range/bedside is a Sig P320 but kind of like the idea of a SA "locked and cocked" carry pistol. Any comments from P938 owners? I am hoping my range will get one to try out before I "pull thre trigger" on a new one:)

    Sig Sauer p320

    Just picked up a 9mm carry medium So far love the trigger, very smooth, breaks well I don't have a scale but pull is definitely less than my Glock 17 and Ruger LC9s. Shoots more accurate than I will ever be. I know that it is touted to be easy to take down but I have had some difficulty...

    Problem with Remington Coreloc

    I picked up a box of 25-06 100gr to try in my Savage 111, out of the box I had three fail to fire! Firing pin dent in the primer but no bang. I have never had this happen and three in one box seems odd. Do I take these back to the retailer or contact Remington? Will think twice about purchasing...
