    I've carried various handguns in various holsters. Other than pocket guns and mouse guns, I believe it is quite difficult to find an ideal rig for medium to full size guns. Please let me know if you've found a solution to the below issues I have: 1) Most good rigid, durable holsters which...

    Moving guns - relocation services

    I am moving soon and will have professional movers transport our stuff for us. Will probably be staying in a Hotel at first until we can find a house. Anyone else have experience using movers to transport firearms? I am moving a small metal gun cabinet with a dozen or so firearms (mix of...

    Shooting ranges near New Orleans?

    I am considering a moving to New Orleans for my job. I know some people there, but not sure if any of them are into guns. I was wondering what the area has to offer for shooting ranges and activities. I'd be interested in IDPA, F-class, maybe some skeet or clays and just general plinking...

    I have family in Cleveland and make a trip there several times a year. Was curious if Camp Perry is open for shooting during the rest of the year? or are they closed except for the National Matches?

    best gun investment - planning for bad times

    Just curious if anyone has any insight into what guns might be the best invenstments for a future depression or de-stabilized government. I'm not talking about the zombie attack or even marauding bandits. I'm just talking about the 1930's revisited in the 21st century. I guess I could buy...

    What do you do when a stranger is at the door?

    I've read about a few home intrusions where 2 or 3 men drive up to a house, maybe posing as some sort of contractor or salesmen. The plan usually entails one or two of them approaching a door with another one slipping around the back of the house and maybe one as the getaway driver. If the...

    Winchester 1500 XTR

    I found a Winchester 1500 XTR for sale for $350, in pretty good shape. So I searched the internet and found very little about it. It seems it is either exactly the same as a 1400 but with better quality wood. OR, it is very similar to a 1400, not sure of the exact differences. The weird...

    Entry level Skeet gun

    I've read through a bunch of previous discussions on this subject and am starting to look for a used shotgun. I currently have a nice L.C. Smith Ideal grade, 20 GA, IC/MOD, 26" barrel shotgun that fits me pretty well. But I am not sure it would be a good idea to shoot much Skeet with this...

    Shipped a handgun UPS today

    Since an individual can't ship a handgun through the Post Office, I went to UPS to ship a handgun today. I've always had good service and no troubles shipping long guns through UPS. Still, I checked the UPS website and read their Firearms shipping guide. I printed out a copy and took it...

    Springfield MC Operator (PX9105MLP)

    I have had a Springfield Operator for about 6 years now. It has O.D. green frame and black slide, Novak night sights, light rail and Pachmayr grips. Unlike many of the other Operators, it does not have the full length guide rod, but rather has your standard short plastic rod for ease of...

    Glove compartment gun, which one?

    I have decided, in addition to my conceal carry gun, I'd like to keep a small handgun in the glove compartment of my vehicle. Briefly, there are a few reasons for this. 1) No matter what the situation, it's nice to know there is a gun available in the vehicle. 2) I like the idea of a smaller...

    NBA player, Gilbert Arenas, in trouble for having a gun in his locker

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/24/AR2009122402856.html What bothers me is the media reports and the team press release. I keep hearing repeated references to how guns are dangerous and there is no reason to have them in the work place. Really? I understand...

    Handgun safe for my night stand - advice needed

    I am looking for a small gun safe to store my handgun and a few magazines in. I want to keep it either in my nigh stand drawer (only a few inches tall), on top of the night stand next to a lamp or on the shelf below the night stand drawer. I want something that allows quick, quiet access...

    AR receivers

    Is there any real difference between the various brand name receivers? I'm thinking of building one and not sure if there is a reason to spend more money on specific brand name receivers.

    Case lube methods

    Which is the best way to lube cases when using a progressive press? With single stage, all I have ever used is the lube pad. Roll the case back and forth a few times and it is ready. Does the spray lube work better? Is there another method that speeds things up when using a progressive press?

    Use a rail mounted flashlight on your pistol?

    I own a couple pistols with rails but have never mounted a light on them. I understand, partially, why cops and swat teams would use them. They enter buildings as a group and work as a team to secure the building. Light, if used properly can turn the tables in their favor. But if your...

    Gun Owner pet peeves

    I don't know about you, but as a guy who has shot guns since I was a kid I am get angry at the lazy attitude that some people have towards carrying and shooting guns. I was taught by a very disciplined father and so maybe I have a sharper view of this subject than is needed, but i believe every...

    Four cops shot by one armed gunman

    This story is an example of our failed justice system. Meanwhile, all the police in my neck of the woods anyway, seem to be most interested in handing out speeding tickets and generating revenue. I am not anti-law enforcement and personally know several cops. But, I am tired of hearing felons...
