    What's the best alternative cartridge for an AR-15?

    I've been shopping for a complete upper chambered in an alternative cartridge, but there are so many options that even after reading up on each of them I'm still unsure which one to go with, in fact if anything I'm even more unsure than when I started. Which is your favorite and why?

    Do you consider the .223/5.56 to be a weak or otherwise ineffective cartridge?

    So recently it was announced that the United States Military is replacing the 5.56x45 NATO cartridge along with the M4 Carbine in favor of the cutting-edge 6.8x51 Common Cartridge (aka .277 Fury) and SIG MCX Spear. Ever since then, I've been seeing an increasing spread of the sentiment that the...

    My Latest Acquisition: The Taurus PT92 AFS-D

    Last month, I ordered a brand new Taurus PT92 AFS-D online. I've been fond of the 92 Series of pistols beginning with the Beretta 92F, having seen it appear in numerous films in my youth, but sadly kept putting off getting one because there was always something that I needed more than a...

    MAC: 10mm Auto vs .45 Super.

    So Tim from Military Arms Channel just posted a video comparing 10mm Auto to .45 Super. As you guys know, I like .45 Super and actually recently chose it over 10mm Auto because I couldn't find a 10mm Pistol that I liked, (held out for years in hopes that Smith & Wesson would make an M&P10mm)...

    Would anyone else be interested in slimline double stack subcompacts chambered in other cartridges?

    Currently slimline double-stack subcompacts like the SIG P365, SA Hellcat, S&W M&P Shield PLUS, and Ruger Max-9 are all the rage, but personally my interest in them is limited. If I can have a gun in that size, then I'd rather it have less recoil with faster follow up shots in .380 ACP or have...

    My H&K USP45 Elite has arrived!

    A few days ago I ordered a Heckler & Koch USP45 Elite online. This is a firearm that I've wanted for years now, but because it's an expensive premium grade pistol which is only manufactured/imported in limited quantities, I was never able to get one due to either lack of funds or...

    My new M&P40 Shield 1.0 Performance Center has arrived!

    A few days ago I ordered a brand new M&P40 Shield 1.0 Performance Center online for the excellent price of only $359.99! Yesterday it arrived at my LGS and I picked it up in the afternoon. At first glance, the M&P40 Shield 1.0 PC was obviously "new old stock" judging by it's very appearance both...

    According to Chris Baker, Lever Action Rifles reputation for ruggedness/reliability is undeserved.

    Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner recently put out an article/video in which he states; "For whatever reason, lever actions have a reputation for being rugged, tough, and reliable. They’re the perfect gun for the prepper or outdoor survivalist. The truth is that, compared to almost any other rifle...

    Micro Compacts vs Subcompacts: Which do you prefer for Concealed Carry?

    This was a topic of discussion that came up awhile ago, but the thread was shutdown prematurely since the Topic Creator failed to specify the difference. I have decided to revive the topic, as I think it makes for an interesting topic for discussion, but let's start this off right by pointing...

    Would it be permitted to post a Poll on the Civil Rights Subforum regarding Pro-2A Candidates?

    I was thinking of posting a poll on the Civil Rights/Law Subforum in regards to the importance of whether or not a political candidate's stance on the Second Amendment influences their vote, but a similar poll posted on another firearms forum within their Second Amendment Subforum ended up...

    What is your benchmark for a "big bore" bullet?

    I know that most folks consider .45 caliber bullets to be big bore, but I've seen folks refer to bullets as small in diameter as .40 caliber to be big bore bullets as well. I'm curious to see what is the minimum caliber/bore diameter the majority considers worthy of the "big bore" designation...

    Is there a way to successfully replicate plum bluing with cold blue?

    I've always really liked the look of the plum-colored bluing you sometimes see on older firearms, namely Rugers and various Eastern European firearms. I've heard all manner of speculation regarding how such a phenomenon occurs. Some say it's the result of treating firearms with WD-40 then...

    Trouble installing aftermarket Safety on Mossberg 590.

    Recently I bought an aftermarket replacement aluminum safety switch for my Mossberg 590, but so far I've had nothing but trouble trying to install it. The problem is that the stock safety switch is secured with a one-way screw which prevents it from being simply removed. Every guide, tutorial...

    The Standard Manufacturing S333 Thunderstruck - How do you feel about it?

    So this unique and potentially innovative firearm has been out in the wild for awhile now, and despite being a product of the usually expensive Standard Manufacturing company, it's actually priced affordably, so I can see some folks actually buying them. The question is, does anyone here...

    Whatever happened to the 10mm comeback?

    Over the course of the past few years, I saw a lot of articles online loudly proclaiming the imminent triumphant return of the 10mm Auto cartridge to the mainstream. An exciting proposition which had excited both long-time fans of the cartridge as well as newcomers who simply liked the sound of...
