So I'm very interested in buying a 2075 RAMI for concealed carry. Personally, I prefer a DA/SA with a decocker/manual safety. I understand that the 2075 has a manual safety but no decocker, but I'm a little unsure about the BD. The technical specs say it has a decocker, but there is no...

So I'm looking at getting my first AK. I've more or less settled on a N-PAP. The question is underfolder or traditional wood stock? More specifically, how difficult is it to take one stock off and put the other one on? What say you?

I own several weapons that would work well for home defense, but I have a delema. My worry is this: if I store a weapon in a way that gives me easy access when I am home, doesn't that give an intruder equal access if he/she breaks in when I am not home? I would hate to come home from work or...

I recently bought my first 1911. Im not a big fan of the sights. They are small and hard to see IMO. I know there are a million options but which is best? Heck what is the difference between them? Is the dove tail in slide of my auto ordnance the same size as every other 1911? Who/what is Novak...

Chiappa's website says they make a 9mm clone of the Beretta M9. I can find a lot of info about the .22 M9 clone, but nothing on the 9mm version. Anyone know anything about this? Specifically, will my stock pile of 92fs mags work in the Chiappa version? Thanks PS: Here is the link to the...

Im looking for some technical advise. I recently bought a used Hi Point model 995 9mm carbine. It shoots surprisingly well and over all I'm very happy with it. There is one glitch though - the rear sling stud is mounted on the right side of the stock. This would be great if I was left handed...

I had always been intrigued by the .45LC/.410 Derringers I've seen around. It seemed like a great PDW. I mean, everyone knows that a shotgun is the best home defense weapon, yet a pistol is the most convenient. So *wahla* both a shotgun and a pistol in the same little package. And its smaller...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can .22 shorts be fired through a modern SA .22 LR revolver? looking for a low-noise varmint solution, and I can't afford a surpressor.

I was shocked when I fired up the 'ol faithful TFL seach function and found no thread about 1911 magazines! I'm starting one for two reasons: 1) I think most would agree there is a big difference in quality from one magazine to another, thus we should create a resource for all us 1911 rookies...

I am an OC/T in the US Army, and recently got into a "discussion" with another trainer. One of the soldiers going through our lane fired about 200 rounds of blank ammo through a M249 SAW cyclic - he never let up till the belt ran out. To avoid bias (and embarassment if Im wrong) I'm going to...

I'm considering a Rossi 92 in .44 mag. Is it safe to assume (okay, go ahead, make youre "assume" jokes now) that I can shoot .44 spc through it as well? According to Wikipedia, the .44mag and .44spc rounds are exactly the same length - 1.61 inches (41mm). Is that true? I was under the...

I recently found myself in a discussion with another guy about our military. As a member of the US Army, I found myself trying to defend our weapons. His point was that the 5.56 is relatively impotent. Does anyone have any good reason why we use the 5.56, or is it just politics/playing...

Not sure if this should go in the Gen Discussion forum, or the gear forum, but here goes - My basement was flooded last week - water got about 5 feet deep. I had about $1000 of ammo in the basement that was submerged for several days. I'm assuming it's shot (figuratively speaking of course :D...

Im looking to get a single action .44 mag. I've looked at Ruger SBH's, and EAA Bounty Hunters. Anyone know of any other good options?

Im looking for a new revolver to take with me back packing. It needs to be light and versitile. I will be in an area known to be home to many black bear, the occassional brown bear, and many Timberwolves, so I want something that has good stopping power. Although I am a fairly experienced...

Ok, so this may make me sound like a moron, but is there a light load that can be fired through a .44 mag? I know that .38 spl can be fired through a .357 mag, is there an equivalent for the 44 mag? - a "smaller" caliber that can be fired through the same gun? I've never head of such a thing...

Ok so I know there is a "no EOTW" rule and I'll try to stay away from that specific topic, but I saw a TV comercial this evening that sparked my curiosity. The comercial basically shows a family that is suddenly forced to leave their home due to some non-specific disaster. I think they're...

My dad has an Remington model 77 - late 60's or early 70's production. He's considering "getting rid of it". Its in pristene condition and shoots 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards. Any idea's how much its worth?

I am a fan of US miltary rifles and I do my best to keep them as close to "orriginal" as possible. However, I would like to use my Springfield 1903 as a sporting rifle. No, I am not going to "sporterize" it. I will not cut off the forestock or get rid of the upper hand guard/barrell band...

My wife recently gave me a stock Ruger 10/22 (standard barrel) for my birthday. It has a run-of-the-mill 3x9x40 scope. I took it to the range and was somewhat disappointed by the accuracy. I was shooting bulk cheap ammo so maybe that was the problem. At 50 yards I could get about 1" 5 rnd...
