Looking for a concise chart out of different barrel lengths in the pistol and short barrel rifles. My searches have me making a list from different sources.

I have a political philosophy - read my signature for a hint. But it seems like most of America doesn't. OK, very general swipes here but this isn't a 500 page dissertation. Why do we say Republicans believe in small government when they support corporate welfare but not social welfare. The...

I finally got my CCW permit for NC on Thursday after being here for a year. NC requires a pistol purchase permit or a CCP to buy a handgun. I was deliquent in getting my CCP so I just started buying. And now there is nothing to slow me down. I got two purchase permits when I handed in my CCP...

Why do calibers typically end up being used in Revolvers or Semi Autos only?

Ok, so I'm jumping the gun here - pun intended. No pics yet. My Great Uncle fought in WWII. He brought back a pistol from France where he was stationed. My father has the original holster, pistol, magazine and the letter authorizing him to bring it back into the country. Not sure but I...

From a quick ballistics chart check it looks like .38 Spl and +p have the performance edge when it comes to energy, penetration and weight. You can get a .38 revolver that weighs as little as 13ozs that can be pocket carried. So why carry a .380? Is it capacity? It just fits you better...

It's 9:25 Thurs pm. Anyone online mind calling me to help reassemble my xd45 c? I have the barrel back in the slide. The end closest to the loaded chamber indicator is flush. The other end is not quite flush. But the barrel seems to not have any room to slide back further so I'm not sure this is...

I'm looking at buying a lightweight .38 or .357. I've seen the Taurus model 85 UL for around $300. Seems like it would fit the bill. I've shot full size .357 Taurus revolvers and liked them. My father has a 9mm semi that hasn't had any quality issues. I keep 'hearing' about Taurus QC...

It sounds like most guys on this site shooting .45 ACP for SD are using 230 grain loads. First is that true? I'm just going off observations. Looking at a few charts I see that 230 grain bullets typically do not have the highest energy. So why the 230 grain bullet?

I have a Thompson Center Encore that I thought would be cool to buy a bunch of different calibers for. It is easy to break down, switch out, light weight, cool all around. I've been reading about the Sig P250 which is a similar concept in a pistol. Seems interesting and I like the concept but...

OK, after getting my hands around a few more grips this weekend I'm wondering if folks can help me on a concealability question. I'm considering an XD Compact .45 vs. the M&P .357 Compact. I can shoot either very well. I think the M&P will conceal better but I like the option of 13 rounds of...

I got a little ahead of myself in re-working my gun collection and got rid of two pistols I'll always regret dumping. I plan to buy a full sized 1911 and a small pocket pistol down the road. But right now I need to buy a single gun for HD and CC. I'm torn between the XD's and the Sigs. Any...
