I will be spending a few months in Washington State and Oregon. As a South Dakota resident, can I purchase a long gun while in WA or OR?

Though I'm living/traveling on the road most of the time - around the country - I'm a new resident of South Dakota and will be in Sioux Falls and Rapid City in the next few weeks for a short time. I'm planning to pick up a couple of handguns and perhaps a 300 BLK upper while in SD and, to save...

I've done a little shooting with my new BCM MIDDY-14.5 with a pinned BattleComp 1.5 compensator. Makes the overall barrel length about 16.1". Mid-length gas system. Troy folding battle sights. Total weight as shown below (but without mag) is 6 lbs. 12 oz. Aimpro T-1 will soon be added. I've...

I hope it is ok to make an announcement. Some of you may recall the loss of our son, Elijah, in Afghanistan last December. Since then my wife has lost her job and life has been a bit rough all around for us as a result. I am beginning to let go of a number of my cherished revolvers, 1911's, High...

ALERT: OBAMA Supports NATIONAL BAN on CONCEALED CARRY... I just read this while reviewing the positions of candidates on gun rights. If Barak Obama gets in the White House, we can probably count on losing our rights to carry concealed weapons! Not only is he tough on gun rights, he supports a...

My Glock experience started with a 29. Great gun. Great power. Overall, not a gun I enjoy shooting a LOT, because of the power of 10mm. In my view, it's great for occasional use and carry in the woods, but not the best choice for daily shooting or for urban carry - that's just my personal...

Those of you who have experience with both the G30 and the XD45 Compact: I would appreciate your thoughts. I have a G30 which I like very much, in spite of the bulky grip. It's a great gun for sure, proven reliability & durability, accurate, nice trigger (with 3.5# connector & smooth-faced...

To my friends on the 1911Forum... not long ago I had a little run in with a moderator in the Dan Wesson folder of the 1911Forum. Overall I think it’s a very well run forum with a lot to offer - especially to those who are new to the 1911... albeit with just a few “mini-Mussolini” moderators who...

Just thought I'd share some preliminary pics of this Colt. I just got it back from Ned Christianson yesterday - it was an old roll mark 1991A1 matte blue Commander. The gun was pretty much brand-new-in-the-box (even though an ORM) when I sent it to Ned a couple of months ago. And bone stock...

As some of you know, I'm mostly a Colt 1911 and S&W revolver lover, but after getting a Delta Elite and a Razorback, I've come to really love 10mm and I just had to have a Glock 29 too! Tonight I got a chance to make some images of my new (first) Glock.... and I gotta say that I reeaaally like...

Kim Ahrends asked me to photograph some of his grips for Ahrends Grips new website. When looking at this particular pair of grips and trying to decide which of my guns to put them on for photography, I decided they'd look really good on my TRP, which just happened to recently get a new C&S...

Some "newbie" gun buyers with little experience may have some interest in this, so, if they'll allow me, I'll share my thinking on buying Smith & Wesson revos. You folks who already have a bunch of guns, or those of you who have it all figured out for yourself... no need to read on, nothing new...

I just picked up the new FN Self Loading Police (SLP) today. When I first saw it I was very impressed with it's compact size, look and overall build quality. This is one danged cool personal defense/home defense semi-auto. Having recently had a great out-of-the-box experience with a new...

After getting my 1100CM, I was very jazzed about that shotgun (and I still am), but now that I've got a Practical to compare it to, I'm really wowed. They're both great shotguns, but the Practical Mk I is really a slick machine with some features which give it the advantage. This afternoon I...

Right now CDNN is selling the FN Police Shotgun... (for those who may not know, FN owns the brand names of FN, Browning, and Winchester and makes the guns sold under these brand names.) The FN Police SG is basically a police version of the FN-built Winchester 1300 Defender shotgun with the...

I must apologize in advance for my enthusiasm. Right now I feel like a kid in a candy store. I have discovered the thrill of semi-auto shotguns. Tonight I took the opportunity to give my new 1100 Competition Master 22" barrel, 8+1 round capacity (first semi-auto shotty I've ever had) a nice...

Just curious to know if anyone has seen or perhaps has one of these shotguns.... they are supposedly an SX2-design, made by and sold under the FN brand, 3' chamber, 38.75" OAL, 18" barrel, 12 ga., 6+1 capacity. Any feedback on them? Are they available in the USA? Price? Distributor?Thanks...

Super X2 Practical vs. 1100 Comp Master vs. Browning Gold Does anyone here have these or have much experience with them? The SX2 Practical looks like it would be a really nice defense shotty. They seem to be hard to find... any ideas on where to obtain one? I have an 1100 CM on the way and...

I just bought a new 1100 Competition Master which has a 22" barrel and mag tube extension. I'm wondering how I might be able to adapt this shotgun for different set-ups... Is it possible to find 18" 1100 barrels to put on it? Or find a longer 1100 barrel and cut it back to 18"? Can the mag...

From what I can find, the 1100 is not available with an 18.5" barrel, but the 1100 Competition Master (22" bbl) looks like a pretty hot gun. On the other hand, there's the 11-87 Police, which has the compact length of 18.5". I like the shorter 11-87 due to it's compact size, but the 1100 CM is...
