I didn't want to hi-jack a thread, but I was curious about the blog doobie posted in the OC thread, and thought it would be a good discussion. I was just curious what the intent is of your blogging? I don't fully understand the message you are trying to send? I guess from the one video I...

I'm torn on what to get! I'm 5'6" and weight about 165# so I'm not a very big person. I want a gun that I will TAKE with me. I'm definitely getting a Glock because its what I carry on duty, and what I'm trained with. I like the 36 because of the size. I compared it to the Kel-Tek 9mm and...

Not sure of the name of it, but I saw a magazine advertisement the other day about a new Kimber DAO "Glocklike" handgun. Anyone know anything about it? I thought I was fairly web-savvy, but I can't find this thing anywhere. Would probably help if I knew the name of it. Is it a reality yet...

Just wondering if anyone has been purchasing any CPX's and curious as to the impression of these guns. I realize there was some big soap opera not long ago with the VP putting down Keltec and posing as a customer etc. I don't have much time for drama, and just wondered if the guns were worth a...

I tried to post this question before, but didn't word it properly and it turned into a caliber war - which is NOT what I want. I see most of the energy and velocity data is typically published from 4" or 5" barrels. Given that information, it shows the .40 S&W as superior to the 9mm, and...

I was just looking at the STI LS40 and see that the slide does NOT lock back upon firing the last round. Does anyone know the rationale behind this? I'm not a big 1911 person, but from what I understand this isn't standard on most other guns. Does anyone have one of these guns? How would you...

Okay - So for X-Mas, my parents and girlfriend have decided to buy me a handgun/gun. Currently, I only own a Browning Buckmark. The dilemma I have is this. I currently have my CCW, but don't have a gun to carry. Originally, I was going to go with a Glock 26/27 to carry (leaning toward 26...

I've been looking at various guns and was curious about getting accessories for those that don't fit the "standard" mold. Are the "non typical" 1911's like the Para Carry, Warthog, or Springfield Micro and Ultra compacts still considered "1911's" when buying holsters and such? Will they fit...

So, I went to Gander Mountain on my quest to find my first handgun. I started at the used end of the gun counter, and did a quick scan all the way around to the other side, where there happened to be a sales clerk. The goal of this trip was to handle a few guns, and feel the differences...

Well, I was all set to order my Glock 27, when I handled the Para-Carry. I liked the feel and look of the Para Carry, but I noticed it seemed quite heavy compared to the Glock. Both of these were handled empty. I was really surprised at the Para Carry's size. I expected it to be larger, but...

With all the talk of Bug Out Bags, and the chaos in N.O. you guys have really got me interested. I grew up in Upstate NY, with the worse natural disasters being Ice Storms that usually shut us down for a couple days at the most. The worst one a few years ago in the north shut them down for a...

Just curious, how do you guys rate the most popular guns on the market as far as being easy to clean? Which is easiest to clean? Which is an absolute pain? Glock Springfield XD 1911 Kahrs Para Ordnance LDA's Sig P239 HK USP Compact Any out there that are easier or harder than those on this list?

A friend of mine was showing me his gun collection and he had several Colt 1911 Champion something or other hand guns. He kept stressing how they were unfired, one was even wrapped in the brown paper which he said was rare. Personally, I wouldn't be able to buy a new gun and not run right out...

I had one of my first "long" shooting sessions with handguns the other day. My buddy brought over his Glock 27 for me to shoot. I shot about 40 rounds out of it, then something wierd happened. I would get right to the end of the trigger stroke, just before it was ready to break, and the gun...

Wow - What a day I had yesterday.... First of all, the goal of the day was to shoot my buddies Glock 27 and see how I liked it. Overall I was happy with the gun. As far as the 40 S&W being snappy - blah! It had very little recoil and I didn't think it was bad at all. I'm not a handgun nut...

Please be subjective.... In the caliber war that exists in my head, I have a few things I wonder about and I'm just curious what others think. In the smaller guns like the Sub-Compact Glocks, do the 40's and 45's lose some of their advantage over the 9mm (I know some think they don't have an...

Okay - here's the deal. In an effort to narrow down my gun selection I called Ellett Brothers today for some pricing (I do some work for a part time gun dealer). I called to price the Glock, a few Springfields, a Para Ordnance, and a Kahr just for kicks.... Get this, they had NY State Code...

This is kind of an odd situation/scenerio, but I need some advice. This is real life, and I'm getting pretty tired of it. I date a girl who has 100 acres of land in rural NY state. The area isn't too depressed, but the road she lives on is loaded with what I call "mutts". Scumbags. No job...

I've yet to purchase my conceal carry gun, but I'm really getting to the point where I want to place the order. I think I want to get a 40 S&W, for no other reason than it being the happy medium - however, I'm not opposed to 9mm or 45 ACP - prefer to avoid .357 Sig however. What I'm looking...

I was the guest in a Kindergarten class yesterday morning for my girlfriends son. The guests are asked to do something with the kids. I figured, instead of reading a story or coloring a picture, I'd do something that might actually benefit the kids, that probably wouldn't get taught in school...
