    Thinking of trading my Shield for a .45 acp.

    I own 3 handguns. A CZ 75bd Police, M&P Shield, and a Ruger LCP. I bought the CZ as my first gun and its the gun I keep in my night stand to protect my home. To me its too big to carry. I then bought the shield because of its crazy popularity as a CCW. I've put about 400 hundred rounds...

    Problems with crimson trace lasergaurd

    I purchased a used Ruger LCP with a crimson trace lasergaurd. The laser was not very bright so I purchased new energizer batteries and now the laser seems even worse. I checked the battery voltages with a multimeter and the voltages are in spec. I've heard nothing but great things about...

    LCP loading issues

    I recently picked up a used LCP with crimson trace package. The gun appeared to be in good condition. I actually have not had a chance to shoot the gun yet as none of the local guns dealers have .380 target loads in stock. I did pick up some hydra-shocks so that I could use the gun for pocket...

    Want to buy an air rifle

    I looked for an appropriate forum to post this and couldn't really find one. So I'll stick it here and if its not applicable the mods can just delete it or move it. I realize we all like to shoot guns that use real ammo here but I'd like something I can set on my porch and plink with. I have...

    New Shield consistantly shooting left

    I just put 50 rounds through my new Shield. This is the first striker ive ever owned and of course the trigger feels much different than my CZ75 in single action mode. What I noticed was that I consistently shot about 3-4" left from 21'. I could keep the groups pretty tight but the only way I...

    Breaking in a new holster

    I ordered a new Tagua iwb for an M&P Shield. Its my first holster. The inside of the holster is very rough . I assume it will soften up and the rough textured leather will smooth up with repeated holstering. Is there any type of conditioner or oil that should be used on the holster. Maybe...

    Ammo costs

    Just wanted to see what you guys are paying for ammo across the country. I've always purchased the Winchester White Box ammo for my 9mm. When I purchased the gun in 2006 I could get the WWB 100 at Wally world for $10.99. Good ammo for plinking at targets at the range. A 25 round box of...

    First conceal carry pistol. Need some info

    I know there are plenty of conceal carry threads but was hoping to get a bit of insight in regards to my situation. A little bit of my background with guns. I've been a long time shotgun and rifle owner as I'm an avid hunter. I only own one handgun which is a CZ-75BD Police 9mm. The gun is...

    CZ 75 Kadet conversion kit?

    For all of you 75 owners, anyone have experience with the .22lr conversion kit offered by CZ? The website says it's compatable with any guns in the 75 series so I assume that means my 75BD Police? Would be nice to have this kit just for playing around and plinking. I assume the slide and...

    Laser sights?

    Are these things just hollywood or are they practical. I notice that they rarely come up in conversation here on the semiauto forum. I always thought they looked cool and might be fun to play around with but are they worth the money and are they useful? My only pistol is my new CZ 75BD but it...

    Correct way to clean my pistol.

    I'm a proud new pwner of my first handgun (A CZ75BD Police) and I have some questions about how I should go about cleaning it. I've taken it to the range twice and have 300 rounds through it right now. I've cleaned the inside of the barrel with a swab and oil but I want to know what I should...

    Whats wrong with my shotgun?

    I've got a 20 year old Mossberg 500 20 gauge. (Yeah yeah yeah I know. It was gift for my 14th birthday). Anyway, shot it very sparingly over the years with probably only around 100-200 rounds through it total. A few weeks ago I took it out to shoot some sporting clay (again, I know it's not...

    Eye dominance problems.

    I'm right handed but my left eye is definately dominant. I thought about buying a lefty pistol or something ambidextrous. But I've shot a few ambi guns left handed and I just don't have the feel for it. Everything about me tells me that I should shoot from my right with the exception of my...

    PX4 help

    I'm still in the hunt for my first handgun and have it narrowed dow to a few models. One of which is the PX4 Storm. I've learned some about the decocker feature and the difference between D/A and S/A too. I'm still wondering what my best option is in the PX4. From the Beretta website I see 4...

    Need a budget plinker.........

    I'm very limited as far as budget is concerned but I want to buy a pistol. I've been shooting deer rifles and shotguns for years and I've always wanted a pistol. I primarily want the pistol for plinking and toying around with on the farm. I guess it could be used for protection but I have...
