    .45 compact possibilities....I'm a little hesistant on the Glock 30

    I would like to get a little .45ACP for an alternate carry option. I have been investigating a few possibilities and have narrowed my decision. I considered the HK USPc, but it is a little big and a bit too much dough for my situation. So, here is my dilemma. I have narrowed things down to...

    Sub-Compact Smith and Wesson M&P

    First off, when are these going to be officially released, and what caliber's will they come in? I'd imagine they will be in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 Sig. I have always wanted an M&P, but could never justify getting one because I really didn't have a need for another full size polymer pistol...

    When it comes to techniques for cleaning guns...

    I have heard quite a few different meathods to say the least! When I heard that a few guys were doing this I was very surprised. They said that they take off the grips and just drop the handgun in a pot of boiling water!! Some have also suggested using the dishwasher. They say this works...

    I think the Internal Lock for my S&W broke...

    Have Guns that are new from the factory been shot?

    A gun that is "New in Box" has actually been shot right? Do all manufacturers (ie: Springfield, Ruger, S&W, CZ, Beretta, etc) test fire the firearm before it leaves the warehouse? Just wondering.
