Why do manufacturers put serrations on the front of so many of their slides? I don't see the purpose other than cosmetics (and IMO they don't look that good). Using proper technique, a shooter shouldn't ever have to grab the front of the slide for any reason. Just curious.

I just purchased a new end cap for my Xtrema 2 with a sling swivel stud on it. The problem is, the hole in the stud is too small for the post on a swivel to fit. Could it have been drilled wrong or are there different sizes of posts on sling swivels? Any help/suggestions would be greatly...

I ordered a handgun from Bud's on Gunbroker and the auction ended on 7/19. I received an email from them on 7/21 saying they had received my payment and FFL. I received another email on 7/25 saying my order had been moved to their shipping department and I would receive another email when the...

Which would you choose and why?

I've pretty much got it narrowed down to these 2 guns for a target/competition 1911. Which would you choose and why? Prices seem to be pretty close. Thanks.

...so they came up with one of their own. I haven't seen one in person yet but by the looks of the picture I think I"m going to like my LCR better. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CustomContentDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=11101&content=754501

I'm looking for a belt slide and ankle for my LCR with laser grips. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any that fit? For the belt holster, I just want something simple, preferable leather, that isn't bulky.

Has anyone used Ranier Leadsafe bullets in a S&W 500? If so, what loads did you use and did you have to decrease loads for them?

I just got a new S&W 500 and I was letting a friend look at it the other day. The first thing he does is spin the cylinder at half cock and before I can smack him in the head he opens the cylinder then wrist flicks it back shut. I about came unglued and he'll never be handling another one of my...

Which of these kits is the better to start off with? If I went with the Rockchucker I would like to get the Lock-n-Load conversion system. Any opinions on which press is better and which kit contains the most/best equipment? They're almost the same price in Cabelas. I'll be loading pistol and...

Which of these costs more to reload for? As far as factory ammo goes it looks like they're pretty similar besides the Hornady 200gr stuff. For those of you that reload one or both, which is the better round to reload for and what is the approximate cost per round? Thanks.

I'm wanting to get one of these monster revolvers but can't decide which one I want. For those of you that reload for either or both, what does it cost per round for each and which is the better option all in all? Thanks.

Hey all, I'm interested in starting reloading due to the constant increase in ammo prices but I really don't know much about it. What equipment will I all need? How much am I looking at spending? Are there any good starter kits available? I will be reloading rifle and handgun. Thanks alot...

I've been wanting to acquire one of these beasts for quite some time now and I've finally decided I can swing the funds. I just can't decide which I'd rather have. The 500 is the most powerful handgun produced which definately gives it some allure but the 460 is only a hair behind it and has...

"He supports closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. He also supports making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets." - This is a quote taken from Obama's official website stating...

Can anyone recommend a good way to mount a flashlight to an AR while keeping the original handguards. I've thought about using one of the short bolt on rails that mounts through the vent holes. Is there any mounts that use the bayonet lug? Thanks for any suggestions. Pictures would be great as well.

What is a good brand of night vision goggles for a reasonable price ($500-$700)? I'd like to pick some up but don't want to spend several grand. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I just got my new Eotech the other day and it came with 2 screws, one had a small hex head and the other has a large slotted head. I take it that only one is used and they are interchangeable but I'm not sure if I'm right. If so, which one are you supposed to use and why? Thanks. Tim

What type of 3 point slings do you guys have on your AR's and what method did you use to attach them. I'm looking for a good sling for the new RRA and I need some suggestions. Some pics of how you attached them would also be great. Thanks in advance. Tim

What improvements have been made to the M16/M4/AR-15 style rifles since the Vietnam war when they were reportedly worthless pieces of crap? You don't hear about those problems anymore unless I'm just not aware of them. What was it that made them so unreliable back then and why are they so much...
