    Concealed backpack carry...

    Just finished up a 106 mile (un-supported/no resupply) section of the Appalachian Trail (GA/NC). I planned for 9 days, but finished in 7 days and a wake up. Weather was great, so a couple days I was able to add a few extra miles with the longest day being 20 miles in about 9 hours... A lot of...

    POF Revolution

    The Revolution has been out over a year now. I really like the design concept and have read nothing but great reviews. There are some concerns about chamber strength given the AR15-sized dimensions. While it doesn't have much in common with AR10s, it actually has commonality with some AR15...

    The first handgun you purchased and why?

    So, as the title states what was the first handgun you purchased? I posed this to my 17 year old son for when he’s old enough to buy his first handgun even though he has already been gifted a few from me for his eventual ownership. What advice would you give a new buyer of their first handgun...

    Boston law regarding confiscation…

    My wife’s uncle (actually great uncle) lives in Boston and I was shocked to hear that following a burglary report while they were out of town (no firearms were stolen), the police inquired if he owned any firearms. He said yes and they asked to see them and that is when they found them...

    Renewed CHL background check failed!!!!

    Alright, I’m just venting. I’m active duty Army, over 25+years of service with a TS/SCI clearance. I’ve had CHL’s for WA, TX, FL and GA (twice). I don't even have a speeding ticket in the past 10 years... I just submitted my renewal paper work for FL and was just informed of an arrest or...

    Glock grip-angle changes with backstrap...

    Merry Christmas all! I recently picked up another Glock 19; this is my first Gen 4 model with the changeable back-straps. At first I thought it was a gimmick, but after trying them out, I've found the one that really does change my grip angle enough to align the sights more naturally for me...

    Help with an HK P2000sk...

    Just wondering for those swapped out the stock (smaller) magazine release on their P2000sk's...does the larger, oversized magazine release use the same size spring? I did the swap and the spring was too tight to release a seated magazine. I'm using a spare spring that works a little better...

    357 or 44 for Blackhawk SA with 4 5/8" barrel?

    I really have a hankering for a Ruger Blackhawk SA (not the Bisley) with a 4 5/8" barrel. I'm just undecided on getting the .357 or the .44 Mag; I have a Redhawk in .44 and a couple of Smith's and a Ruger GP100 in .357. Looking for a plinker and general use carry gun when out bushwhacking...

    Marlin Model 70PSS magazine issues...

    I purchased some extra magazine for my 70PSS, but the ones I received do not have the needed cut-out to fit. The 10-rounders do have the cut out but not my new 7-rounders??? I purchase them new from Marlin and Midway, just wondering if anybody had a work-around without have to return them. I...

    Bersa 380 goes into battery after mag inserted...

    Just curious is this is a glitch or common...my wife's .380 Bersa (with slide locked to the rear), goes into battery as soon as you insert the magazine. In some ways, this speeds up getting into action, but it's a little disconcerting and I was wondering if this is typical of Bersa's .380's...
