Hi guys, I am possibly moving to Portland, Oregon for a new job from Texas and I've Google'd a little bit on the gun laws but I wanted to know a few things. 1) Can I legally drive my handgun against state lines? (I will be driving to Oregon from Texas) 2) Must my handgun be registered? I...

Here was my best target from today's range trip. Took a couple magazines to get used to aim and grip but once I got it down I'd have to say this pistol is pretty damn accurate. I did have a couple jams but I blame that on the magazine, some shells were slightly off angle causing FTF's...

The range I'm going to tomorrow have instructors that will be assisting me. Thanks fellas!

Picked up a case for it today from Academy. Going to shoot it on Wednesday, I'll post back with my experience and impressions.

BTW do you guys prefer cleaning with brushes or ropes? Where can I find a good cleaning guide?

Yeah I didn't post it but basics are the first thing I'm gonna work on.

Juat picked up my first handgun yesterday, Hi Point C9. I know this gun has a love or hate relationship on the web, but I did quite a bit of research and wanted a pistol that I could use for home defense and not put a dent in my wallet. I also wanted my first pistol to be a learning experience...

If I were to get a 9mm which type of round would be best for home defense in an apartment? Or rather which would do less damage if over penetration were to happen?

Panzercat - Thanks for posting about the Hi-Point, I am actually looking into getting a C9. The 9mm seems like a better option, however one thing that concerns me (and we discussed this on another forum) is the possibility of firing a rogue shot and it penetrating walls possibly injuring...

I might check out some shotguns then, a friend of mine said that might be a good option to go with as well.

2wheels - where is a good source to find those? on all the auction and various websites everything seems to be at or near MSRP and the prices are all within $10 of each other. I can't find any decent used prices anywhere.

I am looking to buy my first gun, primarily a pistol. I would like to have something to protect me in my apartment in the event of a break in or an intruder. What would be a decent pistol around the $200 to $250 range? New or used isn't a big concern.

I admit, I'm actually considering the SR9.

I am looking to get my first handgun and I'm trying to decide between the Springfield XD and the Glock 17. Which would you purchase and why? Looking to get either in the 9mm variation. I'm looking for a gun that's fun to shoot, accurate, reliable, and able to carry on me if I had to. I have...

I am in the process of becoming a process server in Texas, and was wondering about the details of conceal carrying. First off, are there any special rules for process servers (such as being able to NOT carry, limit of what you can carry, etc)? Also, are there exceptions to the 21 year-old age to...
