    Love shooting but HATE cleaning afterwards. Keeps me from going to the range often

    Since I bought my first gun in the beginning of this year I have loved the range. Its a lot of fun for me to shoot my 9mm and my AR. What I absolutely hate doing is the cleaning up (especially the AR15) after getting home. The XDm isnt too bad but the taking apart of the AR, the bolt carrier...

    Would most black folks find "Black Guns Matter" offensive?

    On Facebook there is a gentleman by the name of Maj Toure (who happens to be an African American himself) promoting "Black Guns Matter". http://bearingarms.com/jenn-j/2016/07/06/black-guns-matter-powerful-message-for-the-black-community/ I am under the impression that he is trying to save the...

    Is it a good idea to "Announce" to the world that you love guns and are carrying one?

    The last few times I went to the local range (Nexus) here in Broward County I saw a couple of guys with Gun t shirts (I think one wore a Protected by Glock and the other had a XD with a big pistol on it). Both of these guys were driving trucks plastered with AR15 stickers, NRA stickers and...

    XD/Glock/MP = Toyota/Honda/Casio GShock. 1911 = Mercedes/BMW/Rolex? True?

    Since I got into guns a few months ago I have bought an XDm 9mm 4.5 inch as my handgun and a Smith & Wesson MP15 Sport 2 as my AR15. The AR has had some failure to fires but I think that is mainly from me using cheap Tul Ammo. The Xdm has fired EVERY single time without fail. I LOVE the look...

    Do you wear gloves when you clean your guns?

    Whenever I clean my AR or my XDm I always end up with gunk under my nails (even though I keep them trimmed). I cant imagine CLP, Hoppes bore cleaner or Rem oil being good for you. Do you guys wear gloves (mechanics style) when cleaning your firearms?

    One of approximately every 30 Tull Ammo .223 fails to fire. Too much CLP bad?

    I am a fairly new firearms owner and have a XDm 9mm 4.5 inch that I use Perfecta 9mm ammo in and in my MP15 Sport 2 I run TulAmmo .223. The last few times I have cleaned both weapons heavily with CLP including the firing pin on the AR. While I have had ZERO issues with the XDm I have noticed on...

    Why dont people like trading in their guns every few years?

    I work in the car business and while I can definitely buy and maintain a car for 10 + years I like leasing them so I'm in a brand new one every 2-3 years max. From my short experience with firearms they are relatively inexpensive and from what I can tell you can buy a gun for $600 or so, use it...

    Why is my XDm 9mm 4.5" LOUDER than my AR15?

    I have a MP15 Sport 2 and a 9mm XDm 4.5 inch. I shot both back to back at the range and I realized the pistol seems LOUDER than the ar15. Also the sound of the 9mm is more like a balloon filling up completely with air and then "Popping" vs the lower "Bang" sound that the AR makes. What causes...

    Smoke from lower (trigger area) during first few shots

    The last time I cleaned my AR I liberally used CLP on both the upper and lower before putting it away. I just got back from the range and during the first few shots I noticed smoke coming from the lower near the trigger area and from the charging handle as well. It went away after the first few...

    How often do you clean your AR lower?

    I have never cleaned the lower of my AR other than basically wiping down with CLP the trigger area. How necessary is it? Almost every video on youtube focuses mainly on cleaning the upper. Im assuming the spring in the lower should be wiped with CLP from time to time. Sorry for the noob question.

    What exactly makes a 1911 so much more expensive?

    I am fairly new to firearms so please excuse my ignorance but I am curious about the 1911 pistols. I own Springfield XDm 9mm 4.5 inch and out the door with taxes I paid under $600 for my gun. My gun has overall received great reviews at every 3rd party source I looked at. What exactly makes a...

    Paying someone to zero in your red dot and BUIS?

    Im a fairly new gun owner and have loved my S&W Sport 2 the few times I took it to the range. I have been using the iron sights as they were out of the box. Never adjusted them Today I ordered the Vortex Strikefire 2 since they were on sale at Planet optics for $141 which included shipping. Is...

    What makes law abiding gun owners SNAP like this?

    If you look at this guy's facebook and business page it was obvious he was a hard working man who took care of his wife, kids and ran a successful LED lighting business. Even in the worst case possible scenario (if the wife was cheating on him, etc) what could possess him to kill the wife AND...

    I have a XDm 9mm 4.5 inch and an MP15 Sport 2 AR15. How often do I need to use them to make sure they stay in good working order and of course I do clean and lube em after use.
