    Most Visible Front Sight

    I have night sights in my gun currently and I am looking to change. I am a natural shotgun shooter. I’m passable with my handgun. And what I have found is that my detection of the front sight is a PAIN for me and impacts my accuracy. So what I would like to know: what is the best sight for...

    Night Sights are Too Open?

    So I recently put night sights on my pistol. The trijicon glowing ones. XDSC 9mm. After several times shooting them? I can’t hit the broad side of the barn. I stopped carrying the gun as a result (back to a .38 snubbie I shoot well). Is this a COMMON issue people have? I just can’t seem to get...

    AR Iron Sights

    Due to luck on my end I am getting an AR for free. Not an expensive model. It won’t have any accessories. But I’ve decided on a general idea of set up. I don’t want (or need) a scope. I’m not a fan of optics and I’d like to get some irons. But I need some help on these. I want something that is...

    Newtonian Physics and Recoil and Energy Transfer Slug Vs Buck

    Newtonian Physics is not a difficult concept to get when it comes to recoil. I know. But what I’m wondering about is when it comes to the actual transfer of energy by the slug vs buckshot (or even rifle round vs buckshot). Does buckshot deliver actual more felt recoil to a target because of...

    Trading XDSC 9mm for G19 (Or G23)

    So I think I’ve finally made up my mind. Everyone in my family seems to be joining the Flock of Block Glocks in 9mm. I’ve always been a fan of more rounds and longer barrels. But my current gun has the 3 inch barrel. And this will be a CCW gun too. So I have a few questions that I’d like to get...

    PGO Shotgun Question

    I’ve seen these Tac 13-14s floating around recently. And YES...I know it is really just a toy or a breach gun with almost no use. But I also like to experiment. I’ve seen the silly chainsaw grip on the Mossie. But has anyone ever put the “side grip” like from a drill on one of these? It might...

    Reading Material to Learn More Rifle Skills

    So I just recently found myself with more time and money on my hands. A lot more (if you know what I mean). And I am starting to take up some more time consuming hobbies that got neglected because they were deemed unimportant lol. Anyway. I was hoping y’all could point me in the way of some...

    AR15 Iron Sights Only

    Does anyone run iron only? I am going to be buying one shortly from a friend. I really prefer iron only to optics. Idk why. Just do. I would prefer tighter 3 dot style similar to some old school rifles. I haven’t seen any. But I like the idea of the HK Diopter style sights too. I’m not well...

    Glock 18 or Other Full Auto Handguns: Does it have a use?

    So I am curious about the use of these firearms. I understand the idea of “why not.” But can anyone direct me to legitimate uses of something like a Glock 18 or M93? Like the Glock 18 is for “law enforcement and military only.” So concealed full auto? With a stock I can see the concept I guess...

    Chiappa Rhino .357 Any hands on?

    A friend of mine bought one of these not too long ago. For monetary reasons he is looking to get rid of it. I am curious...does anyone have any hands on experience with it? Is it any good? I have a Ruger Security Six...so I don’t need another .357 mag EVER lol. But I’m intrigued by the design...

    Suppressed Short Range “Sniper” Rifle (VSS Vintorez)

    I am a bit of a fan of espionage stuff. Spy movies, books, and that kind of thing. I like the real stuff. Not as big into the fake stuff. Loved Spy Game and read the book by the KGB guy who flipped Aldrich Aimes and Robert Hansen. Well. I had a discussion with a friend about this stuff and about...

    Survival/Prepper Caliber Rifle

    I had a discussion about this. And a lot of people were bringing up the AR15 and AK. But after the discussion...I think the best CALIBER choice is a .308 Winchester. The 5.56 and .223 are just too underpowered as a hunting round. Where a .308 will reliable kill any game in North America. And it...

    Force on Force Training and Etiquette for "Contact"

    I am wondering what is out there in terms of concealed carry and force on force training classes. Specifically as it relates to contact. I have done martial arts for a while and I am looking to improve my self defense now. I was focused on competitive BJJ (heavy emphasis on stand up...

    What would it take to abandon your AR15?

    I am framing this question in the context of what draws you to the AR15. And what would have to be surpassed by another design to make you pick that weapon instead of an AR15? Personally? I’m a bit of a hipster with the whole rifle craze. If someone gave me a lot of money and forced me to buy a...

    “Dry Fire” Home exercises/training?

    Just looking to compile a list of exercises I can do on my own dry fire in the home for CCW and home defense. I live in the city and can’t always make it to the range. But I’ve heard of people using snap cap lasers and so on. Anything that assists with pistol shooting even if it doesn’t involve...

    Penetration Over Maximum Expansion? Handgun rounds

    So I am just curious why one would value this in a defensive round for humans? Perhaps because I live in Florida? Thick coats aren’t a concern. But that is the only logical thought I can have on the topic. If one were to emphasize penetration, wouldn’t you significantly increase the chances of...

    870 express 3 inch 18 inch barrel recommendations

    So a friend has talked me into just upgrading my gun to a home defense gun. I currently have a 26 inch barrel for hunting. Too long got home defense really. So can anyone point me to the good brands of barrels? Good experiences? What should I be looking for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Semi Auto Shotguns for Home Defense

    So I am just wondering why we don’t see more semi auto home defense guns? Is it a reliability thing? What limitations exist? Price? I’m just wondering why we don’t see more used. I’d be curious to see the performance of a 12 and 20 in the role. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Recoil Reduction Pistol Grip 870

    I am just wondering what luck people have had with pistol grips (not PGO) on their 870. I would like to setup a turkey gun with a pistol grip and maybe a defensive gun later (turkey first) But I noticed when shooting a pistol grip the other day that the recoil was atrocious compared to Normal...

    Non AR 5.56: what are your favorites?

    I am just curious what is out there. What would you buy? If you HAD to of course. What are reliable options? Accurate options? That kind of thing. What would you use if you were allergic to AR15s and couldn’t use them lol (not their mags or accessories...just the rifle itself). Sent from my...
