I’m confused by these pistols. They hold half as much ammo as my XDM but cost $200 more. Is there something I’m overlooking here? Shouldn’t a 22 hold more rounds and be cheaper than a 9mm of similar quality? I just want to quietly put holes in beer cans and the occasional varmint.

I’m looking for a 22lr pistol with a threaded barrel for plinking, target shooting, and raccoons trying to break into the chicken coop. I’m hoping for suggestions. I will be using a suppressor. I’m trying not to break the bank and I’m more likely to get a date with Scarlet Johansson than enter...

Is there a noticeable difference when using them/performance, or mostly just a difference in build quality/durability?

Who here is running or has run TruGlo night sights? I’m looking at putting some tritium sights on my XDM (home and woods defensive weapon, currently has fiber optic front) and the TruGlo ‎TG231X has caught my attention, being half the price of Trijicon, but so have the reviews. I’m seeing lots...

I picked up a very lightly used stainless steel Remington 700 ADL chambered in 308 for getting into deer and elk hunting, and was absolutely ecstatic after waiting quite a while for one to pop up locally for a decent price. It has a factory scope and came with ammo, but I’m not sure what to...

I read somewhere that there’s a way around the roster with used guns, but it might only apply to people moving to California and bringing their guns with them. Is it only legal if I move to California, or not even then?

I have a Sig P938 that I would like my brother in law in California to have instead of selling it to the tweakers who keep trying to buy it from me locally, and I’m not sure if there’s a legal way to do it. It’s not a gun you can buy new in California, so does this mean I can’t send it to him...

There’s no grease or anything jamming it up. I’ve taken it apart and put it back together several times, the barrel has been cleaned and the entire thing has been oiled. I’m not much of a recreational shooter but I’m pretty dang handy, and I’ve never come across anything that I couldn’t fix (if...

It’s been failing to extract since the first round. I’m not shooting it for fun, it has maybe 50 rounds through it just from trying to get it to work right. It’s never been set down anywhere dirty. Does the LCP really require cleaning that often? If it’s something that needs to be field stripped...

I’m stuck deciding between the Springfield Hellcat and Sig P365 as a CCW. I actually really like how quick the target acquisition is with the Springfield sights, but the lights were on at Scheels and I’m wondering how easy it is to accurately aim in low light or at night without the rear sights...

I swapped recoil springs, will test again this weekend. There’s no visible defects/deformities on the extractor. The gun has never been cleaned, it’s brand spanking new. If it still doesn’t extract I’m sending it back in.

I have a fairly new LCP II that has been having failure to extract issues, about once per magazine at first with Freedom Munitions. I initially contacted Ruger and they had me send it in. They were quick to work on it and I already have it back with a new barrel and slide, but it’s still having...

It’s mostly a matter of availability, cost, reputation, and appeal. I don’t know of that many full size striker fired 9mm pistols tbh. I’ve shot a regular XDM in 10mm and liked it. Sig has a great reputation and is what the army uses. I’m not really interested in Glocks. I’m sure there are other...

I’m looking for a full size polymer framed striker-fired 9mm pistol and have my eyes on the Springfield XDM Elite and the Sig M17. Both are available locally, but I’m a bit of a gun noob and don’t know how to decide. The gun’s purpose will be occasional target shooting (when I’m camping), home...

I tried uploading the photos but it’s not working, so I uploaded them here: https://imgur.com/a/GFf8sB8
