    Went to gun show Sat...

    And this guy here followed me home. http://imgur.com/Nek34 That's in comparison to my CZ75, they're very similar in size. Also, the P228 is the handgun I've wanted the second longest in my life (The CZ75 being the first handgun I ever said "I WANT!" to) http://i.imgur.com/4JD3i.jpg VERY...

    Buy a Sig?

    Hey guys, I've recently been in the market for a new gun and have found a P228 without rail, made in Germany (not Exeter, NH), night sights and 3 mags for $575. Is this a decent price? It's very tempting since I want another 9mm to complement my CZ75, but I am still very hesitant to buy...

    Spikes Tactical?

    Hi all. I was just wondering if anybody here has any experience with Spikes Tactical lower receivers? I've got the chance to get one with RRA parts kit and 6 position stock. I'm very seriously considering this, as any of the dealers and FFL holders around here are wanting to hose me on my value...

    Applying for C&R License?

    Ok, so I may be beating a dead horse but I've not been able to figure this out through searching. I just got my application for C&R license from the BATF. My father has had one, and said he never had to do fingerprints. But in my envelope I got 2 applications, 2 print cards, and a couple other...

    AR Build?

    Ok, so I've told my wife that my intention when I graduate nursing school is to build an AR-15 (though I'm obviously going to try and swing it sooner :)). I had a few questions, though. My understanding is that if I don't get a lower stamped "Multi-Cal" I would have to build it in whatever...

    Richmond VA Pistol Ranges

    Howdy all, I just recently moved to Richmond from NC and, while I'm liking the area and people better, it seems to be limited on shooting facilities. I stopped by Dominion Shooting Range earlier, but then left when they told me I couldn't use my own ammo and would have to buy theirs. Odd...

    9mm 1911?

    Ok, so my woman and I went to the gun shop a few weeks back after a range trip. She's currently loving my CZ 75B, but after browsing the case at one of the shops back home (we went to NH for Thanksgiving), the guy at the counter introduced her to a Kimber Pro in 9mm. Which she loved. My big...

    Slugs out of 26"

    Howdy all. So, i plan on bringing my Benelli Nova back from NH when I go home for Thanksgiving to do some hunting (deer, dove, etc etc) and was wondering if there's anybody else out there that uses the same barrel for all hunting (I priced a slug barrel and I'd be better off getting a dedicated...

    New kids

    So, I decided to spoil myself a bit with some of my deployment moneys and did a bit of buying earlier in the week. I absolutely love the Dan Wesson, the S&W 19-4, the CZ75, and the Sig, tho the Sig is gonna need some tough love breaking in. I think the CZ impressed me the most right out...

    What would be good...

    To compliment my Kimber Pro Carry and the Dan Wesson PM-7 that I currently have a deposit on back home (I'd buy it outright, but I'm in Iraq)? I'm thinking 9mm, if I go with DA/SA I want steel frame, striker fired would obviously be polymer. Anybody here got any experience with a CZ P-01? I...

    Post deployment gift

    Ok, I know it's early to be thinking about this, but I can't do much else (I've done a whopping 1 mission since we got here and not much else... I've only gone into the BAS to get rip its and meds). I'm deployed right now, and when I get back in the spring one of the first things I plan to do is...

    Snubbies?

    Alright, I just applied for my CCW permit the other day, should have it mid-next week. Currently my only handgun is a Kimber Pro Carry, not exactly ideal for tucking away inconspicuously and I was wondering if anybody might have some recommendations for an inexpensive revolver. There was a...

    First handgun

    So I bought my first handgun today, traded away a beautiful but barely used Marlin .45/70 towards it. I was planning to get a Springy Mil-Spec, had one set aside with my name on it but what did I see eyeballing me from the used counter? Nothing other than the very same Kimber I was planning to...

    Tacticool Drop Holster

    Ok, I have a Specter drop leg holster that I bought the first time I was in 29 Palms (I had an M9 then). The platoon I'm with now did not issue me a pistol and am just curious if anyone might know if a full-size 1911 would be able to fit in it? I spent around $60 on it and just would hate for it...

    Glock or XD?

    Hi everyone! I'm new here, and am going to be home on leave in a week and am planning to buy a handgun. Though I desperately want a nice 1911 (Kimber or Springfield Loaded would be sweet) I figure I can wait until after I go to and come back from Iraq for that. I think I've narrowed it down to a...
