Hello Does anyone have any experience with VooDoo Innovations? I think they are in FL. I placed an order on their website last Thursday, for a ported barrel. Site stated that orders are shipped within 48 hours. Got an email when I placed the order that I would get an email when shipped...

Hello I have a DD AR upper chambered in 5.56 NATO, 1:7 twist. 16" Govt profile. It seems very accurate, even with LC 55gr 5.56 and bulk 55gr .223 ammunition. I seem to be able to get 0.33 in groups at 25 yards , informal indoor shooting (no lead sled). And can hit a soda can at 150 yards...

Hi Everyone Sorry, if this has been asked and answered before, I really cannot find much QUANTITATIVE information. I have been wondering whether or not it would be worth it to change out my present vented aluminum free float handguard with a carbon fiber one. The only reason I would do...

Had my first criminal interview, yesterday. Thanks to those here, I immediate knew what was going on. I had seen this guy sitting on a bench near the store I was going into, in a strip mall. Thin, scraggly, dirty T shirt. I spent some time in the store, and when I walked out, this guy...

Hi Everyone I wonder if you would not mind giving me a price check for a Marlin 336 30-30 at Walmart? I *think* they are still in the $380 range, but not sure. I know the basic 336 that you can get online is still running about $500 and about $500-550 at gun shows. I know that the Walmart...

I am reloading .45acp using Accurate #5 powder for a full sized 1911 and wanted to get some feedback. The bullets I will be using are 200gr plated, round nose. They are about 0.572" long. I am using a RCBS 3 die set, tapered crimp on a Lee press. The COAL I am getting is 1. 244-1.252...

Hello I am not new to shooting, but new to reloading. I have a RCBS 3 die set and have been getting things put together seemingly OK. I will be reloading .45acp using Accurate #5 powder and CCI LP primers. Once shot cases from commercial ammo. I am a very ...very careful guy. I will be...

Hi Everyone I have been thinking about getting a S&W M&P 9, full size, for a range toy for some time. But....have some issues and would like your input. I have a SIG 229 and SIG 226, to shoot with. Love them, they are tack drivers. But, have been thinking about an M&P 9 because of the...

Was no one ever killed before the invention of the gun? That is what I ask those who say that firearms are the cause of so many deaths. As for the 30 round magazine issue, I ask them, what if your mother or sister were home alone and some unknown number of thugs broke into the house. What...

In the wake of present events and the national conversation going on now, I ask my friends, who are against private gun ownership the following question: Would you rather live in an armed society, or a society living under arms? If we take the issues of personal protection, crime and...

Well, my good friend has a Springfield trophy match and I got to shoot it the other day. I have had several 1911's and have shot all of them well, but there was something really good about this model. Honestly, at a scant 7 yards, I was all in one hole. It shot as if a laser. The sights...

Hi I have seen some information regarding this on the net, but nothing really definitive. I am pretty certain I know the answer, but I thought it might be interesting to discuss here. I took two friends to the range today. One an Aussie, just visiting, the other a Canadian who lives here...

Hi Folks I have never re-loaded ammunition and do not know anyone that I can ask. I have been thinking about reloading .357 magnum rounds for some time, but always thought that I need quite a bit of space in order to do so. Also, that to begin was quite expensive. Well, I began to do some...

Hi Everyone I was just wondering if applying a coating to a vintage SIG slide lowers the value or the collectability of the gun? The gun in question would be a mid 1990's SIG P228. Not an antique, but becoming more collectable, as I understand it. The slide is about 90-95%. No bare...

Hi Everyone I have everything I really need. Have SD, HD and CC covered, but....am thinking about a 9mm range gun. Something fun, accurate and appealling. 9mm for cost sake. My ideal would be a SIG P229. I always liked SIGs and have had a 239 and 226. I want an all metal arm that is...

Hello I have a new 9mm AR: Bushmaster lower and CMMG 9mm upper, 9mm buffer. The magwell block appears to be the cheap ProMag plastic one. I get failures to feed about every 1 in 10 rounds (loading 10 in a mag). Not sure if it is a break in issue, mag related or magwell block related...

Hello I am looking for a 3in barrel 1911. I have gone over all the very nice ones: Kimber Ultra, Springfield Loaded etc, and just cannot justify spending $1000. SO, began looking at the low end ones: RIA Tactical Compact, Springfield Micro Compact GI. The RIA is about $440 online, the...

Hello I currently have a Kimber Custom II .45acp and a Kimber Pro Carry II stainless in 9mm. I have had a Glock 26, 19, Ruger SR9c and sold all of them. I just really like the Kimber's for all my needs (from target shooting, to HD and CC). Actually, I really love my Kimbers, they are just...

Hello I recently purchased a Kimber Stainless Pro Carry II, 9mm, which I like a great deal. Very accurate and sweet shooting. I am still in the kimber break in period (only about 250 rounds through)...but am having a terrible time with UMC bulk pack 9mm. It is nothing but failures with...

The sad events in Tucson could not go without good use by the mainstream press. Below is a link to the above mentioned Op-Ed, The Myth of the Hero Gunslinger: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/20/myth-of-the-hero-gunslinger/?emc=eta1 The obvious tenet of the author is that...
