...I would need effectiveness against a two legged predator out to a minimum of 100 yards. The 5.7 would be in direct competition with 9mm and .45acp* for this role. My only request through this is that we all agree that shot placement is king and acknowledge it's a conversational dead end...

Okay, there's nothing a little .45acp won't cure. And lets face it, a Mauser is fine, too. But why would I potentially want to combine the two into a bolt action, 45acp carbine? Now granted, it does harbor a certain menace, but I'm still somewhat mystified. :scrutiny: I'm thinking this...

Finally got some range time with the Umarex Regent R200, a 1911 pattern pistol made in Turkey. While ammunition shortages curtailed a comprehensive test, I'm quite pleased with what amounts to a full featured stainless 1911 for under six bills. So what does taking a chance on a relatively...

...firearms, varying from cheap and efficient to being vastly outclassed by rifle caliber carbines, such as the 5.56. Is the pistol caliber carbine a dead end? Does it have a place in your world? Autoloaders? Leverguns? The floor is yours. *This thread is here and not there per mod preference.

:D

So you're building a carbine to do everything. What caliber is it in? Why?

Make your own here :)

Picked her up today-- A Regent R200 :) Good times shall be had... As soon as I can scrounge some ammo :p Even includes the spent round used to document the factory test fire (the yellow packet). Hogue grips. The test round casing mentioned earlier... A set of burl...

Will be getting a new 1911 in the near future and have my eye on the .460 Rowland conversion kit for it. Assuming you've actually used or fired one, what do you think? Would you make the same choice again? Having fun? Too much trouble? Don't have a robot butler to pull the slide back? I don't...

...decisions. You can theorize on any number of reasons as to why the firearm industry just doesn't absorb this fee like- oh, I don't know -almost* every other sales industry in the United States, but what do you do? Lick the stamp and keep the post office in business or cough up the add on...

The Berretta NEOS, that is. Most everything i've read concerning them is that they're good pistols, but I can't find as much depth as i would compared to the Rugers and Brownings. Nuances like how they handle the hotter rounds, long term reliability, etc. Any NEOS owners here who can...

...As you'll be facing the scrutiny of internet memes far and wide. But I do have a serious question: Does anybody carry a .22 pistol for self defense? A semi? Maybe a revolver? Why? I'm not talking about out an about in the woods where you'll encounter laser zombie bears and the like. Just...

Anybody up for a Charter 9mm Bulldog that doesn't need moonclips? Yes, we know you like your .357, simmer down ;) Here's The Firearm Blog post.

Well, I'm looking at the RIA 1911 pictured below. It looks in overall good condition but the price seems good. Too good to be true; $445.00 (+40s&h+20ffl). Supposedly retailed for $800.00. I'm asking about the round count now, but aside from the grips and nickle it looks to be a baseline model...

Yes, Hi-point pistols are born from a wild tryst between a gorgon and satan's three headed pitbull. They are will known to stop any attacker by sheer threat of bludgeoning and are rumored to have depleted uranium slides forged from scraps left over after the cold war. So after molesting the...

Alright, lets get this out of the way. Yes, it was born from a wild evenings' tryst between Hell's giant three headed pitbull and a enormous deep sea octopus. And yeah, it is an abomination to the holy sacrament that is levergunning, threatening to devour the soul of all who touch it. And...

No seriously, is there any specific reason why gun manufacturers use shallow flathead screws from which their screw drivers easily slip from to scratch fine surfaces? Why not phillips? Sorry, it's just been driving me nuts that I finally had to vent about it. Every single dern rifle... :P

...otherwise known as plastic. I imagine somebody has tried to do this to maybe shorten the forearm or something. I'm thinking of doing so, but wonder what I'm going to find-- Solid plastic? A void that will require filling? Same with the Butler Creek folding stock. Your insight = appreciated :D

"Hi!" :D If your lever guns want to say hi too, they're more than welcome :)

...Yes, I know I'm asking a lot in the price range, but it doesn't seem overly impossible. This rifle should be capable out to 500y if not longer* Two have caught my eye so far and have thus far received fairly decent reviews. The first is the Ruger American Rifle. While they're not my...
