Heading to the gun show tomorrow and the little lady is playing around with the idea of getting a handgun for use during our backpacking trips. We spend quite a bit of time, year round in and along the front range of the Rockies and even at time further in. So really, something small, she's...

What are some things to take in mind when consider getting a box or two of slugs for my 12g?

I may just suck at forum searching, but throw me a bone. What are your guy's recommendations on practice rounds and home defense rounds in .45 ACP?

Was at the gun show today and one booth had a really good looking shape, all black, bolt action SKS that said Made in China. They wanted $250 for it out the door... decent deal, should I pick it up?

Finally found the model Taurus PT-1911 AR .45 ACP I wanted without getting raped on price. Local shop down the street wanted $795 + tax :rolleyes: First booth at the gun show the guy wouldn't go any lower than $649 + tax. :rolleyes: Finally found a booth with it, NIB, talked 'em down to $580...

My g/f has a handed down .308 rifle that's been sitting in my gun safe for about a year. Curious, I took it out tonight to see what it was all about. On the barrel there is a stamp... "MORTON" Near the breach it reads Deutsche Waffen-Und Munitionsfabriken Berlin. It's scoped with an old 4x...

So I'm going through the gun safe tonight cleaning some of the toys and I come across this black powder rifle my g/f inherited. I've never really taken a look at it til now, and well... was curious if anyone can actually ID it. On the barrel it reads Ardesa Spain Black Powder Only 50 cal. I...

Okay, you know how in a lot of movies, for example I'll use Mr. and Mrs Smith, or those type of things. On a wall in a house or something there is a slick, recessed sliding doors that open up to a padded wall mounted array of guns. lit my fierce neon bulbs ready for the taking? I want that...

Hey all... that time of year when good boys and girls get guns under the tree, so what are you hoping for? Not in the actual sense of getting it as a gift, but perhaps you'll buy it yourself and someone will give you the cash for the purchase (in a sense gifting). I have 8 items on my list...

With a few recent threads I noticed mentions of gun and magazine storage, and many people who store their mags loaded, while other may keep one loaded, the others unloaded. How do you do it? Does storing loaded magazines have any ill effect on the springs, thus adversely affecting loading in...

I was talking with a friend early this morning and I got to thinking about building a 25 yd underground range, expanding my 1600 sq ft basement. Logistics and cost aside... are things like this legal? Might it be a state by state issue?

I'm looking at the potential of picking up a revolver or two for my collection and fun at the range, but not looking to get too crazy into them. My only experience with the type is from a S&W 642 w/ Crimson Trace grip. I'm looking at a sub $400 range, caliber is a non issue. Thanks for your...

Come February I'm thinking of moving from VA to CO. In doing so I'm curious about what actions might need to happen regarding my current arsenal. In VA our laws are very lax, with no registration or permits. When relocating what type of things should I be expecting or looking for?

I've been to all the local shops and a few shows and NOBODY has a paddle holster for the FN P9. Anyone know anything they don't. Maybe an online retailer who has them? Rumor has it the XD holsters work, but I can't confirm that. Thanks for the help.

Recently picked up at RRA LAR-15 with the two stage comp trigger and flat top rail. Was curious what everyone considers to be "must haves" in the AR line of accesories? Sights, foregrips, etc. Thanks in advance for the replies.

I work offshore half the year, and don't get to see a lot of things as they come out at the shops or at shows as much as I'd like. That being said, I'm curious in a few '09 rifles that maybe some of you might own or have some sort of exposure to. If so, could you please comment on the...

So like mentioned in the other thread, today we were buying. I ended picking up a FNP-9 9mm for $329 used, but as far as I'm concerned, I got it for $279 because $50 of that was a gift. My buddy Matt picked up the used Taurus PT 24/7 Pro .40 for $299. Being used, they are both extremely clean...

A friend and I were at the local shop today, interested in buying a new handgun, each of us. Budget is $280 - $330. Trying to get some opinions, maybe prior experience with each, if the price is right etc. NOTE: The Bersa and the PT 111 are NEW, the 24/7 and Ruger are USED. We checked...

Been looking at a few of these at the local shop... these two brands seem to be the cheapest. I'm not looking for anything special, just a cheap 9, maybe a .45.... anybody yay or nay on anything from these makers?

Well... FINALLY got the .308 out to the range today. I let 4 rounds go off at 50 just to get my scope adjusted. 8 rds off at 100, First two shots were a little off, but the next 6 were all inside the (1) ring. By this time, all the guys down on the 100+ ranges with AR's and such were...
