No need to beat this one to death because I'm sure it already has been. I would just like to see some good points made. My otherwise gun friendly state is just now passing open carry legislation. I'm all for it from a 2nd Amendment perspective but not sure if I would personally chose to. One...

I have the Ruger P89 and the out of production P90 and love 'em both. They are my two go to guns at home. Super reliable and built like tanks. I believe the P Series was the last that Bill Ruger was actively involved with. What do you think about the Ruger 9E? I think I saw one comment...

Currently, I keep a Walther PPS 9mm in my center console. I want to get another gun for the car since I also use the PPS for carry at times and am tired of having to go out to my car to get it and replace it with another gun. It would also be nice to have a higher capacity magazine. Here is my...

I can't find Speer Gold Dot JHP 9mm +P for short barrels. Hmm, never had a problem in the past. Tried AmmoSeek. Tried Google. Anyone knows an internet ammo seller that has them in stock? Thanks in advance...

I have checked out this gun at my local gun shop. It really appeals to me. They rent it and I will give it a try soon. I live in a subtropical climate and a t-shirt and shorts is pretty common clothing for much of the year. Is this gun compact enough for pocket carry in shorts? Would it...

I thought my skills at deescalating/avoiding conflict were pretty good until last week. I was flown out of state by a new employer for training. The job seems great but they assigned me to a trainer who was an alcoholic. I mean, when he picked me up at the airport before noon on a Sunday, I...

My neighborhood has been practically crime free for some 20 years. Recently, my next door neighbor left her garage door open and someone stole a gas powered lawn tool. I work hard for everything I have so things like this, especially so close to home, really concern me. A lot of times I like...

How and when would you bring up the fact that you concealed carry and like guns with a new girlfriend? I actually had one women find a post I made to The Firing Line before we even met for the first time. She had a child and was obviously anti-gun and refused to date me simply because I owned...

Has anyone ever hunted with this ammo? I figure if it can bring down deer or wild boars, it should be just fine. Very interested in hearing your field reports. Do you think this is perfectly OK for self defense or would I be better off with another brand? I would like to be confident that in a...

I have been getting interested in adding an AK-74 to my current AK-47. It seems they are lighter and more effective than the AK-47. I have been looking at the ARSENAL SLR104-31 5.45X39 FLDR sold by Buds. Not inexpensive at about $1100. I have also been looking at other retailers and don't see...

My primary go to guns for home defense are my Ruger P89 and P90. Unfortunately, neither have an accessory rail to mount a flashlight on. While these are "old school" fully metal guns, I love 'em and would prefer not to buy a new polymer gun simply to add a flashlight. On the other hand, I...

I will be very interested in seeing the type of products and quality this new manufacturer comes out with and the price point. Anyone got some info on this?

Why is this rifle technically not an AK-74? Pretty steep price, too. Any recommendations for an actual AK-74 of good quality under a grand?

What is the advantage/purpose of buying an AK that is a side folder?

I posted this before but it somehow got mixed in with another post I did. I am thinking of getting an AK-74. Like many ranges, my local range will not allow steel core ammo. Is Brown Bear 5.45 x 39 considered steel core? If so, are there some good alternatives? I don't want to invest in an...

There are a number of videos on YouTube from about 9 months ago claiming that that 5.45 x 39 ammo was going to be made illegal because it was claimed to be "armor piercing". I checked today and there is plenty for sale. What happened?

There was a TV show tonight that hyped the AR-15 as "America's gun". Now this seemed misinformed... It made it seem that it's 'Nam incarnation, the M16 was fantastic. Everything I have read claims that the M16 was a liability. It's need for cleanliness made it poorly suited for jungle warfare...

As a modern successor to the AK47, you would think that there has to be some advantage to the AK74. The only disadvantage I see is that, per Wikipedia, the muzzle brake tends to discharge more lead near the operator. If you do prefer the AK74, what model do you like? In a previous post...

I have been trying to research the difference, but it's slow going. Why do you think the AK47 dominates the US civilian market? In some countries where they are actually used by combatants, the AK74 seems in favor. It also seems that the few online retailers that sell the AK74 do so at a...

A couple of weeks ago I posted some information here. The owner of a motorcycle shop heard two motorcycles being stolen in the middle of the night. He got into his car, chased one individual into the next town and shot him. While that may be OK in TX, I questioned whether this was a good...
