Hi All, I have the shortest (14") version of the 590 Shockwave # 50659 and the Streamlight TL Racker # 69602 But for some reason the Racker fits a little loose/sloppy and doesn't fully seat on the action slide, and it drags on the bottom of the barrel. In the amazon negative reviews others are...

Guys, I'm thinking about picking up a Ruger American in 5.56 and putting a Vortex Diamondback 4-16/44 on it for bench shooting out to 300 yards, but I'm wondering about its expected lifespan on factory 223? It'll be a 100% plinking/bench gun and will go through about 50 rounds a week between...

I’m kicking around buying a CMMG Banshee in 10mm, but I wonder how well the ballistics of a long 8” 10mm compare to a short 10” 5.56 on meat and bone? I tend to carry alternating Underwood 150gr JHP and 140gr monolithic. Both are 1500fps out of 5” iirc. All of my 5.56 is bulk Federal 55gr...

I have MO ccw permit and a road trip planned through the Southwest US. We’re flying into Denver and driving through CO, into Moab, Page AZ (Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, etc) then moving on to Las Vegas for a couple of days then fly home. Its all pretty straightforward up to the NV line, then I...

Hi all.. I bought a Rock River AR-10 Predator (car stock/muzzle brake version) and I'd like your opinions for a case similar to this one with room for a pistol, its mags, the rifle and its mags, plus misc stuff. Recommendations that dont cost a fortune? Rifle is ~40 inches. I normally buy...

What "all purpose" ammo are you using? I hear 160+gr is best in RR's, but not sure. I'm not a avid target shooter, nor hunter.. just want a literally all-purpose ammo that feeds well, gets along well with RR composite mags, and will deliver decent performance at a decent price. After a couple...

I'm on the fence picking optics for my new RR Predator 16". (I have another similar thread that has guided me to this point, so far) I'd like to know if a quality 16" 308 is *worthy* of a 4-12x40 (Nikon P-308 $300) or 4-16x42 (Nikon M-308 $400)?? I'll definitely go with a 1-6x24 for 100-400...

Hi all, I finally got around to buying a Rock River mid-length Predator (16" version with adjustable/car stock and muzzle brake) I need some product recommendations for finishing it out. First I need a decent scope & rings.. best bang for the buck kind of thing for 100-400 yards. Then I need a...

Hi all, I'm on the hunt for a plastic type holster that I can mount in my trucks center console that'll hold my Glock 27/23/22 or 35. For everyday the 27 will be there, but I have several .40's and want the flexibility to swap them out. I'm looking at all sorts of options, including simple...

Anyone know of a real small fanny pack with a ccw pouch that'd be perfect for bicycling with a Glock 26/27? Normally I'd always pass on the fanny pack thing, but its not outta place on a bike. I'd also go in for a decent "camera belt bag" from Amazon if anyone knows of one that fits the G26/27...

Dan Wesson makes one in 45 with an aluminum frame in black. Who else makes one, maybe in all-stainless, definitely in calibers other than 45?

The thread about the fella loosing his TCP in the woods got me thinking... I carry only Glocks in the wild, but they're coal black and if lost become nearly invisible. Does anyone make brightly colored slip-on rubber grips? I googled around a bit and didnt see much...?

Hey all, about to fly Southwest from STL to Tampa and back with a couple of pistols. Has anyone had any issues with either of those airports TSA or Southwest? The guns will be in a Pelican 1200 with non-TSA locks. I intend to empty the guns and leave the magazines loaded and placed in the...

If you had three thousand bucks to spare on a heirloom gun that you wanted to shoot sometimes, what would you buy? I was kicking around getting a 1911, but I wonder if it would appreciate in value? Maybe an old one? But I have no idea what to look for in a old 1911. Maybe a AR-10 or other...

I'm taking a trip in about a month and want to take two pistols with me... My Glock 35 w/ a Streamlight TL1 and my LCP. I've been studying the Pelican 1170 and 1200. One is a little short relative to the slide, but its thicker and deeper... the other is plenty long enough for the slide, but...

I'm looking for something to sit down with, slow shoot and basically burn time while not burning up loads of ammo. Think: Cheap, casual shooting fun... but more accurate and capable than a 22lr I started off thinking a 17hmr would be a good way to go, not too expensive and the ammo wont put me...

I it just me, or is the firearms industry really slow moving? Slow to introduce new products and upgrade/update/improve existing products? For the first time in nearly a year I dropped by a LGS, it seemed like it was frozen in time. Its mostly the exact same stuff that was there 5 years...

I had a Glock 21 that I liked fine - it had a really soft recoil, was remarkably accurate at a distance and it was a natural point-n-shoot for me. But it was big & thick, just barely comfortable and I nearly had to point it back at myself to get a thumb on the mag release. Wish I had gone with...

What are your one in-a-million shots, the weird or lucky, the ones you couldn't do again no matter how hard you tried? (No BigShooter stories please!) I've had two that come to mind... ~9 years old, took a long distance pot shot at a squirrel running through a tree with a Beretta .25acp... I...

About two years ago we had this thread on a roadside road-rage shooting involving a NJ officer on vacation with his family in MD, who was tried for murder and acquitted. The post-trial commentary from the defense points out a few disturbing issues, most notable is the prosecutors [mis]conduct...
