Looks like the Brits have replaced the L9 (Browning Hi-Power) with new Gen 4 Glock 17's. That's a huge deal for Glock and hopefully that may help open the door for Glock with other major militaries throughout the world. It's good to see the British weren't afraid of the lack of a manual safety...

I own a S&W model 66 no-dash and a model 686 no-dash, both 4" guns. I love them both equally. The 686 is stamped NHSP (New Hampshire State Police) which makes it somewhat interesting as a state police gun but the Mod 66 is also a Police trade-in, albeit without any markings. If you were forced...

What are you guy's thoughts on the newly released VE models of the SD? http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category4_750001_750051_757962_-1_757752_757751_image Word got out a while back that S&W had stopped producing the SD-series. It seems they didn't really drop it so...

And couldn't pass it up. It's one of the limited edition FDE framed Glocks from Lipsey's. I picked this one up from Bud's retail store. Ended up getting it for the same price as the black Gen 4's were selling for. I used to have an OD Glock 19 and it's one of the few guns I really regret...

I've almost got my M1A to where I want it. I think all I need now is to get it sighted in and then I want to get a cheek pad and a bipod. It's taken a long time to get it to this point, M1A/M14 parts are just so expensive. Hopefully it won't take as long to get the bipod and cheek pad on there...

Yeah me too. Looks like SIG finally listened to us! http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductDetails/p938-rosewood.aspx http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductDetails/p938-blackwood.aspx http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProductDetails/p938-equinox.aspx

Well, I decided on December 31st that I couldn't let the 100th anniversary of the 1911 pass me by without honoring it in some way. I was lucky that my local shop was still open and I was even more lucky that I managed to grab the very last Colt Commander they had in stock (they had only just...

Ruger just announced a new rifle today. http://www.ruger.com/products/americanRifle/index.html Looks like it will come in .243, .270, .30-06, and .308. MSRP is only $449 and it includes a lot of really nice features for that price. Weight is also only 6.25lbs. I can't wait to see some...

I was looking at some Magpul accessories on their website this morning and saw this picture: http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG217/9 How sweet would it be if Magpul made a polymer lower for AR's? That picture shows that they have at least considered the idea. Right now if you want a polymer...

With all these SAA threads popping up I decided to break mine out of the safe and give it a little love. What is it about this gun that makes it point so naturally? I have very few guns that point as well as a SAA does for me. All I have to do is pick it up and point it at something and the...

I love my German SIG P226 more than just about any other gun I own. I wanted it desperately to be my go-to gun and the one I would grab above all others in the event of an emergency. Sadly I just can't shoot it worth a darn. I don't know what it is about it but I just can't make it work for me...

I've been searching for a long time for some correct original K-frame service grips for my Model 66. I bough this gun as an old police trade-in and it had some worn out rubber Pachmayr grips on it. The rubber in those grips was so old it had pretty much turned hard and brittle. I replaced them...

This is how my GP100 3" came from the factory when I bough it a few months ago: Notice how disproportionate it is with the factory Hogue grip. The Hogue grip is actually longer than the barrel. I couldn't stand how it looked and felt in my hand so I looked around and found that Ruger used to...

I finally talked my wife into giving the reactive steel range a shot this weekend. She gets really bored shooting paper so I thought perhaps reactive steel might be more fun for her. For those of you who aren't familiar, the reactive steel range is where they have popup steel targets that you...

I got an email from Ruger this afternoon about a new 10-shot 22LR version of the Single-Six they're calling the Single-Ten. http://www.ruger.com/products/newModelSingleSixSingleTen/models.html Looks like a great hunting/woods gun to me. :)

I can't believe it's been so long since I bought a gun... Anyways, I was out checking out the local shops to see if anything interested me and I saw a stack of 3" Ruger GP100's in one of the display cases. One of the only guns I've ever regretted selling was my 4" Ruger GP100. I also have a...

Just got an email from Ruger a little while ago introducing a new SR-556 model. It looks like an economy version of the SR556. It's still piston driven but it doesn't have the rails, back-up iron sights, and it uses a regular A2 style grip from what I can tell. MSRP is $1,369...

I was watching a nature show about the South American Rain Forests which got me thinking about the old Lee Enfield No. 5 Mk 1 "Jungle Carbine". I then began to wonder what rifle I would choose if I had to survive in the jungle. While pondering this I realized that I didn't really know who made a...

I have this M1A National Match and a nice Leupold scope which I would like very much to combine. Through all my searching I've seen that most scope mounts for this gun are in the $150+ range, which seems rather steep for a little piece of metal. Is there a quality M1A scope mount out there that...

I just want to start off by saying that I am not questioning the genius of Mikhail Kalashnikov, I have just always wondered about the sight placement on AK47's. All of the reference images below are public domain images from Wikipedia. What I have always wondered is, why is the rear sight...
