Just a question, what 1911 pistol would you recommend for under $500. I handled a few 1911's at the gun show today and got the itch.:D I honestly never thought I'd own a 45, but I'm contemplating one. I guess there's a first time for everything.:D Right now I'm leaning towards the...

Any opinon's on the Rock Island 1911 45. I saw one today at the gun show, it was $475 new in box. That price really appeals to me, it felt great in my hand, just wondering it they are junk or not?

Hey guy's, I went to a big gun show today out here in Colorado Springs, CO. I was pretty impressed with the number and types of guns for sale, everything was there. There were also some damn good deals to be had on ammo. I ended up buying 250 rounds of 180 grain FMJ 40 ammo for 35 bucks, that...

The NRA handgun of the year is the XD 45.:D Looks like the XD series is a proven winner, the XD line also won this award in 2003. The fact that the XD holds 14 rounds of 45 is pretty enticing. Even though I currently own an XD 40 and love it, I've got the itch for an XD 45.

I heard on Fox news this morning that Rudy Guliani is seriously considering running as the republican in the '08 Presidential race. I think this sucks, he's about as anti-gun as they come, almost as bad as Hillary. Rudy also runs contrary to the views of the republican base, I dont see how...

I currently own 4 handguns, a Taurus Tracker 357 mag, Taurus MIL-PRO 40, an XD 40, and a Ruger 22/45. If I could only keep one of these guns, it would have to be the tracker 357 mag. This gun has the versatility of shooting 38's, is a fine woodlands protection gun, and the 357 is legendary...

Hey guy's, I have a simple question. I'm currently looking at buying a 22 magnum rifle, and I want an auto-loader. Would the Ruger 10/22 be a good choice? I just want something to take care of small pest animals on my property, from squirrel's up to a fox, and probably some target shooting...

Hey guy's, I fired one of my 155 grain 40 caliber JHP's into 4 (1) gallon water jugs. The bullet penetrated 3 jugs and was stopped in the 4th. I fired the round from 10 feet. The first two water jugs were completely blown off the table, lol, I got showered with some water.:D Here's the...

Here's the results.:D I fired 30 rounds out of my MIL-PRO 40 and the XD 40, 60 rounds total. I had a pretty good day with both guns.:D The distance was 40 feet.

The Alabama govenor has signed a "castle doctrine" bill into law. It basically removes the "duty to retreat" principle of self defense. This law states that any law abiding citizen may defend him or herself against attack by any means necessary, including lethal force. Under this law, the...

Who keeps a gun in their car? What are the reasons for doing so? I'm not implying that you shouldn't, by all means do so.

I'm looking at purchasing a Fobus holster for my Taurus MIL-PRO 40, from what I see on their website, they look well made and comfortable. I'm looking at the compact paddle holster for concealment. Does anyone have experience with Fobus holsters, any opinions on them? Are these a good choice...

Me and my brother got into a heated conversation today, after I showed him my concealed carry permit, something I am proud of.:D My brother all of sudden began grilling me as to why I have a gun, I have four guns.:D I told him because this is America and it is my right to defend myself, plus...

I went out for a round of shooting today and I did pretty well. Here's a couple of photo's of the results with my Taurus MIL-PRO 40 and my XD 40.:D I fired 30 rounds out of each of them from about 40 feet. I REALLY like both of these guns, I have been extremely pleased with their performance...

I watched this DVD last night and its a great documentary. It really show's how the gun control advocates think, and Larry Elders really blows holes in their arguments. Their whole premise is based upon the notion that ordinary citizens can't be trusted with guns, but the facts speak for...

Hey guy's, I picked up my CCW permit from the Sheriff's office today! Woo-hoo!!.:D Now I can start "packin".:D It took 3 weeks to the day for it to get approved, that's not too shabby.

Hey guys, I've got an opportunity to buy a Walther P99 40 from my dad. The gun is new in box, never fired, about 18 months old. He's got 4 11 round magazines to go with it. He wants $500 for the gun. What do you guy's think of this gun, and is it a good buy? My gut tells me to "buy it"...

Not trying to beat the ammo thing to death, just looking for opinions on this stuff. Its been around for a long time, my dad has a case of 40 cal 180 grain starfires that he will sell me for cheap.:D I dont want to buy the stuff if its sub-par.

I just visited the Speer website, the short barrel line of ammo looks interesting. I'm wondering what the real advantage of this ammo is? I've got a Taurus MIL-PRO 40 with a 3.25 inch barrel, would this ammo be a good choice to use in it? The velocity on the 180 grain short barrel is 950 fps...

Hey guy's, out of the dozen or so brands of premium JHP ammo, which do you think is the best, and why?
