    What kind of AR-type is this (horizontal magazine feed)?

    Saw Corey shooting this on Pawn Stars.... It looks like it has some kind of P90-type horizontal magazine above the barrel. What is it and who makes it? Thanks.

    Are these safe to shoot (older ammo question)

    I was getting ready to go to the range and I was unloading the MagSafe ammo I had in my magazines and I noticed several of the rounds have pitting on the casing. The ammo is at least 10 years old. Think this ammo is safe to shoot? I have already decided I am not going to keep the rounds loaded...

    Suppressor Weight Differences...Noticeable?

    I have been looking at the data at Silencertests.com and after looking at the cans in my price range ($600), it seems that the biggest difference between the least expensive TI Tac-16 and some of the others is weight, almost 6 oz in some cases. Is that amount of weight really noticeable? I...

    Suppressor/Silencer Suggestion for 9.2" barrel?

    I am toying with the idea of getting a Kel-Tec PLR-16 and putting a can on it. However, it has a pretty short 9.2" barrel and I have heard that such a short barrel can cause the round to hit the baffles of a suppressor. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions as to which suppressor I should...

    Katrina Gun Battles - Lessons learned and equipment selection

    Katrina was about as close to a SHTF situation as we have ever seen, and it was SHTF for those who went through it. I am trying to decide if my shotgun is sufficient for such an occurrence, or if something more is needed. While there were plenty of occasions of homeowners standing guard and...

    Shotgun as only HD weapon?

    I have had a Glock 27 for over 10 years and I recently purchased an 870P. I have owned and shot many other pistols and my Glock is a vestige of when I used to have a CW permit. However, I find it a bit uncomfortable to shoot and, as a result, I don't like to shoot it very often. Plus, I really...

    Question on sighting, form and sore cheeks

    I shot my new 870 for the first time yesterday. I was shooting Remington 1oz Slugger rifled slugs. Not what I would use for a HD load, but I wanted to see how accurate I could be with the bead site at home defense ranges. At 50 feet I was easily able to place slugs in the center of mass of an...

    870 has the action release towards the front, the 590 has it towards the back. With a Knoxx Spec Ops (or any pistol grip), which release is easier to get to? Anyone ever have experience with both?

    HD Intruder Scenario - Night vision instead of flashlight

    So I am bored at work today and was thinking, if you think hear someone breaking into your house at night, of course you want to identify the person and make sure they are a bad guy. A weapon-mounted flashlight is certainly a way to do it, but that same light can 1) give away your position and...

    Picking a weapon for civil unrest

    Living in south Florida, there is a very real possibility of a major hurricane causing a period of time where the police are overtaxed (Katrina), plus there is always the threat of a terrorist attack. Wanting to be prepared, but not paranoid, I was looking for a weapon that could supplement my...

    Buying a used 870P, what to look for and fair price?

    I am looking for an 870 police model to build up as a home defense/utility gun. A new model 4899 (wood furniture, blued, 5-shot...basic) is about $400. However, I am open to a used one, but I am not sure how to determine if the gun is in good mechanical shape. Is their anything a layperson can...
