I'm looking at a Glock 17, and trying to figure out approximately when it was manufactured. It does not have an accessory rail and has texturing on the front of the trigger guard. This has me thinking it's a Gen 2. I looked at...

About 10 years ago, I did the whole AK-ification thing on a Saiga 7.62x39. I haven’t been paying too much attention since, but remember that Kobra sights were supposedly the ones that made the most honor to glorious Russian motherland. Is that the case? I really just want something that isn’t...

It’s been a decade since I’ve seriously considered purchasing an AR-15. Back then there was RRA, Colt, Stag, and others. Who’s good now?

I like, I like. Would use of .17 HMR give any accuracy over .22 LR at 100 yards with that setup?

Longest distance I can shoot at a local range is 100 yards. This will be mainly for trying to shoot MoA groups at that distance or less, since the range is broken up at 25 yard increments.

I'm thinking of trading up my Savage MKII/Bushnell scope combo (the kind you get at Cabela's) for a CZ 455 American combo (the one with the .17 HMR and .22 LR barrels) and am wondering about scopes. What would be a good scope for covering both calibers? I'm not familiar enough with the...

About six years ago (... sheesh... six years?) I did the whole AK thing with my Saiga. I didn't have much cash to spend on it at the time, so I had to kind of hack it when it came to machining out a spot for the the cleaning rod in the lower handguard. I used one of the Dinzag bolt-on handguard...

I was under the impression that the rear sight should be adjusted the opposite direction for elevation that you wanted the projectile to go. I assume this is incorrect based on your responses?

I have a Ruger SR9c that I got not too long ago. I took it out after buying it, and it was pretty decent for the first time shooting it. I adjusted the sights using a laser boresighter, thinking I could do better. Wrong-o. Now it's as much as foot off at 15 yards, which is a problem for a pistol...

I assume that a box is 50 rounds?

I'm looking for a way to save on 9mm ammunition, and want to know what reloading could do for me in that area. I've got a Ruger SR9c, so anything I'd reload would have to function in that weapon. From what I've seen, 9mm rounds are currently $.25-$.30 a round. Could I expect to save by...

Ended up buying an SR-9c. Was getting Minute of Bad Guy groups at 7 yards within a few hours of buying the thing. I think we have a winner.

Went back to the store and gave the SR9c a try with the mag extension. I like it. I still have yet to fire one, though. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of maybe having something in the car. The compact would be better for that.

Is it possible newer ones have a better trigger? I can go try to find out when the pistol was made. Does the SR-9 or SR-9c handle recoil better in your experience?

I did get the chance to handle a SR9c. Unfortunately, my hands are too big. You know big hands mean... No compacts as range guns. :D
