:D I just got back from the range with my Ruger GP 100, which I was finally able to pick up today (damn you, CA waiting laws..) This was the first time I have shot a GP100; my only other revolver experience was shooting a Ruger Vaquero sometime last year. I prefer the GP100. I didn't shoot...

...It's nice to see an article that's not slanted against guns, the 2A, the military, or the war. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060730/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_the_marksman Sounds like he was raised right to me.

Ok, I looked around on www.7.62x54r.net and couldn't find the answer to my question, which is: What unit of measurement is the rear sight on my M91/30 incremented in? meters? yards? something else? Thanks.

There's one coming to my area this weekend. I think it's called "The Crossroads of the West." Anyone ever been to this event? Is it worth my time?

Hey folks. I'm looking to get my first revolver here pretty soon. I've narrowed my choices for a .357mag down to the following two firearms: Rossi R971 six shot Taurus 627 seven shot, compensator (probably not necessary but what the hell..) both weapons are about the same size and both...

As a lifelong resident of CA (boo, hiss), I never expected to see a gun store commercial on TV. Twenty seconds ago I sat on my couch, mouth agape, as a commercial for the American Shooting Center on Ruffin Road here in San Diego played on the History Channel. Now, granted, it's 11:17pm as I...

Hey folks. I'm looking to buy a handgun within the next month or two. I'm looking for suggestions for a home defense weapon, based on the following criteria price: up to 700 dollars size: any caliber: 9mm, .357mag or sig, .40, or .45 type: semiauto or wheelgun capacity: whatever is currently...

I had an interesting problem occur on one of my M9s today at the range. I noticed it happen to two shooters. Sometimes after firing a round, the round would eject fully as normal, but the hammer would only half cock, and in some instances it completely decocked. Any ideas why this is happening?

I wonder... If ol' Gaston had a variety of looks for his guns, do you suppose his sales would increase? How many people do ya suppose said "I'd get a glock if it wasn't ugly as sin" and then proceeded to buy someone else's plastic gun?

here's a link to the article... http://news.yahoo.com/fc/us/immigration Note that the picture used is of a guy obviously in the passion of the moment. I don't know if he's with MMP but it's obvious that this is supposed to make the MMP look like a bunch of crazies. Note how they are...

Does anyone know if it is at all possible (whether by having an FFL or just going through an FFL dealer, whatever!) to get these things in CA anymore?

..I KNOW I KNOW! SORRY! So while shooting my Mosin Nagant today (first time), the bolt stuck up on me several times. After firing, I had to smack the bolt handle against the side of the bench to unlock it. However, this problem was inconsistent. Sometimes it would happen, sometimes I was...

Just bought some cheap ammo today...two bucks for twenty rounds of 7.62x54R. Unfortunately, the manufacturer is simply "eastern bloc" so I have no idea if it's corrosive or what! I was hoping someone could tell me if it's crappy ammo based on what little I can tell you of the ammo: the...

Ok, I don't know where to look to find the answer to this question, but... I live in CA (boo! hiss!). Suppose I wanted a MAC10 and had a dealer FFL. Can MAC10s (or for that matter, ANY NFA toys) be shipped to CA or am I SOL?

I just passed up a Mosin Nagant M91. I'll tell ya why, then I'll tell ya how much Big 5 Sporting Goods was asking for it, then I want you to tell me if I was unwise to pass it up. First, while the barrel was in good condition, the importer's markings bugged the crap out of me, and looked plain...

But what the heck. I can't think of a better place to ask: Has anybody here participated in Operation Blue to Green or do any of you know someone who has? It's the army/airfoce/navy program in which sailors/airmen of specific NECs/MOSs can transfer to the army and do the army equivilant of...

..What a cartridge's "Ballistic Coefficient" means? 'preciate it.

Does anyone here stack their magazines with alternating bullet types (ie one JHP, one ball, one JHP, one ball, all the way through)? I read somewhere that stacking mags in this manner is supposed to allow you to more effectively put down an assailant, although I don't see how. To me it seems...

Right to it: My dad's got a Luger (a remake from the seventies) chambered in 9mm luger (wow, big surprise there). We have noticed with much dismay that the toggle is EXTREMELY difficult to rack/charge/cock/whatever you want to call it, particularly while a magazine is inserted, which makes...
