Something along these lines happened around me recently, where a mental patient came to a hospital on slice his doctor up pretty badly, and a ccw permit holder took him down. Guy was an off duty security guard, so no real "extensive training" to speak of (no HRT or something like that). Probably...

Unless you're really worried about price, get the Sig. Of the bunch, the Sig has the best trigger (and it can be made worlds better by Bruce Gray), it is, IMO, the most ergonomic, and I believe it to be safer than the Glock by way of a much heavier trigger pull. I don't want to get into a...

Yea, I know you can not go from 9 up to .40, thats why I want to buy the bigger one and convert downwards, which is possible with a Bar-Sto (or other company) conversion barrel. Some people say you need mags for 9 or other springs, but a good amount say it functions relatively fine for range...

I am considering a Sig in .40 or 357Sig, and I have a quick question about the conversion to 9mm. I know it is fairly simple, just a conversion barrel, maybe some springs and maybe mags, but I have heard that the sights can be a problem after the conversion, in that POA/POI might not be the same...

I'd say far and away it's S&W...the only other one I would compare might be Sig, but I've heard their 1911s are sometimes a little...fragile might be a good word. Again, I've never owned a Sig 1911, but that's what I've heard. I do, however, own a S&W PC1911, and I can't find a fault with it...

$103 is a big enough difference for most anyone I would say...maybe if you mentioned to your FFL that you had found another price that was lower etc. they might think about matching it or even going a bit lower to make a point. Whatever the case, though, a Glock (30) is a Glock (30) so...

I have the G30 SF...basically the exact same thing minus 3mm of grip...absolutely an excellent firearm. 10+1 of 45ACP should do the trick should you ever need it, but if you live in a free state (I live in MA) you can get G21 13 rounders as reloads if you so desire (I'm pretty sure, anyways)...

SAS used BHPs from their inception right up until they adopted the Sig 226 that they tend to use now, although there are probably some still in service with them the same way some of their guys float toward HK handguns...the BHP has seen alot of action in its time...

If I had access to a Valor here in MA, I would most certainly have one-it's an excellent gun with a LOT of features for the price. You will not regret that one. It's basically a custom gun, really, and they could probably get away with charging a few hundred more for it without any problem. The...

Boy I hate these threads! They always make me drool too much and make me sad that my list is going to take so long to fill...even though it's not even 5 long! Anyways...here it goes... 1. Patriot Ordnance Factory P-308 rifle (unless Bushmaster/Magpul magically get the ACR/Masada out...

For $1000, what you're looking for is going to be hit or miss. You can get a great 1911 for that price, but there is no guarantee that it will be reliable because of the fact that even production 1911s are pretty tightly fit these days with newer manufacturing techniques, and while that will...

When the summer roles around, I hope to be shooting at least 1000 rounds of 45 a month, probably at the very least. The rifle, whichever caliber I decide on when I finally make this purchase, with probably put at least 300 (VERY conservative estimate I would say) down every month. Just doing a...

Sorry about putting this in the wrong forum, I'll see if I can get a mod to move it...haha, I'm so green to reloading that I didn't even know we had a reloading section here! Thanks for all your help guys. Edit: they beat me to it! Thanks for the move!

Hey guys, I'm new to this idea, but I really want to get into reloading for the savings factor. I've heard it might not be as substantial as it's made out to be, but nevertheless, anything is better than nothing at all. The problem is, I have no idea where to begin as far as a basic reloading...

If you really wanted to do this, and it is your first time, I would recommend doing it with some serious help. There is a course that is offered (I think pretty much it is yearly, and I want to say it's by Vickers, but don't quote me on that) that allows you to go to wherever it is and build...
