    Educate Me on Gen 4 Glocks vs Gen 3's.

    The Gen 4 Glocks have been out for a while and I need some education on their preformances. I shoot in some high speed, low drag, shooting disciplines with Gen 3 Glocks and I was wondering how the Gen 4's match up to the Gen 3's? I'm thinking a faster recovery time b/c of the dual recoil...

    One handed operation of the Springfield XDM?

    I'm not familiar with the operation of the Springfield XDM. I remember a discussion from a firearms instructor saying that the XDM could be difficult to operate if one of your hands become disabled and you had to clear a double feed. Could someone help me with this? Or did I hear incorrectly...

    Old Powder, Is It Still Safe To Use?

    Getting back into reloading again, I have some old rifle, shotgun, and handgun powder (H110, H380, surplus 4831, IMR's, etc) and I was wondering if it is still good to use. Some of it is from the 1960's-1980's. (The H4831 had a price tag of $1.89/lb.) It was stored in a non-heated storage...
