My AR doesn't go sproing any more. I couldn't stand the sound and put in a sproing buster disk in the buffer. Works great, no more Mattel noise.

It's amazing how this ammo shortage is making a whole lot of people sound like socialists. In a free country with a free market prices are what the buyers and sellers decide it should be. And that's what's happening. The prices can only rise to the maximum people are willing to pay. Right now...

I've fired a couple of semi auto pistols with suppressors. A fellow I know has a gun shop and I met him one day at our local county range trying out some different suppressors on a couple of pistols. I happened to have an audio meter app on my iPhone4 so I used it to check the different noise...

A few points to consider. A rifle, including .22lr rifles are going to be more accurate at any distance than a handgun. High velocity long rifle cartridges can and do penetrate well. With good bullet placement a .22 is deadly out to 100yds. at least. Not necessarily immediately but no one's...

I have both new and used. I don't see any difference. I do like having used guns because in this state private sales are 'paper free'. It makes my paranoia less when no one has a record of what I have except myself.

I had two Taurus pistols, a TCP and a Slim .40S&W. The .40 had some problems with FTF from light strikes. After sending it back and having it returned from Taurus I took it to the range and it went full automatic. I returned it to Taurus and they refunded my purchase price. The TCP was nice...

Jack up those 5 bricks of .22s to $50 per brick for a grand total of $275. That was the price at a gun show here in town today. There just aren't any to be had.

Exactly, comfortable carry is very important if you really carry every day like I do. That's why I carry my LCP and LC9. I have other guns I could and do carry once in awhile but the two Ruger LCs are pretty much my only carry guns unless something unusual causes me to take along something with...

I have the SR40c and do like it's compact size for a .40S&W but it is a bit much for a summer carry. I carry mine when I'll have a coat on to cover it sometimes in the winter but overall I prefer the LC9 for most of the time. I do like to shoot the .40, some don't like the recoil which is a bit...

Nope, you're wrong. I didn't say anything other than I prefer US made firearms. I own a Walther P1, which is a delightful 9mm to shoot. I've had a three or four Taurii (plural of Taurus) three pistols and one revolver. I currently own a very nice Italian made Beretta 92FS. I've handled the Bursa...

Put 'em side by side and heft both like I have and then tell me. Not to mention I prefer a US made pistol to an Argentine one. Plus Ruger has excellent customer service.

The Sig is a better and much higher priced pistol but the Bersa isn't unreliable from the experiences of a couple guys in my club they are satisfied with it's reliability and performance. That said it's a rather large and heavy pistol for concealed carry compared to what's available now that...

Go for what you like but the LC9 has been a good carry gun for me including the summer when wearing shorts though I prefer the LCP for that. The LC9 is quite easy to conceal, I carry it most of the time IWB at the appendix position. That works for me because the holster (Ace Case tuckable) is...

The saving grace with a .22 even though the pressure is pretty high is that there's proportionally a lot more metal around a .22 cartridge in most guns than there is in most centerfires pistols.

Been carrying and shooting my LC9 for over a year now and am still very happy with it. It's small, light, slim and very easily concealable. Mine's been totally reliable with various 9mm ammo including Critical Defense, Cor Bon, and Gold Dot as well as WWB and my handloads of various strength and...
