    Springfield Mags.....worth the money?

    I recently bought a Springfield Loaded (9mm) and was wondering what you opinion is of Springfield's magazines. I have a coupon for more mags at $25 each ($10 shipping for $50, $12 for $100). Unfortunately the gun wouldn't run reliably and had to go back to the factory. The mags worked fine in...

    Your opinion of Rossi revolvers?

    Gander Mtn. has a pretty good sale on Rossi .357's this week. I haven't thought about the brand for years. I've always thought they were "OK" or "Meh." I've shot some about a decade ago but haven't really paid any attention to the brand since Taurus bought them out. A friend was asking me...

    DC knife laws?

    Does anyone know what the knife laws are in DC? I have a few EDC knives that I rotate carrying. Some are 3" some are 3.5" and there's a mix of assisted opening. Do they have a blade limit or assisted opening laws?

    Any first hand experience with a Taurus 24/7 OSS?

    I have a chance to buy a new Taurus 24/7 OSS (9mm) for $300. Do any of you have first hand experience with this gun and what are your opinions? I know Taurus's reputation and have owned and shot several of their handguns in the past. Most were very good despite their rep. What do you think...

    SOG Vulcan....Ok?

    So what are you views on the SOG Vulcan? Looks like an interesting knife. A bit pricey for me but I'm thinking about it for Christmas.

    VA knife laws?

    I have a few questions about Virginia's knife laws. Everyone that I ask seems to have a different opinion about what is and what is not legal. The most common answer is that the laws are so poorly written that a police officer can charge you for basically whatever he wants if you're carrying a...

    Question for the 3 gun guys

    I've shot some IDPA matches and some steel plate matches but I've never shot any 3 gun. I'd like to shoot a match or two this summer and have a couple of AR's set up for the bench (4-14x Burris scopes), a Remington 870 and a Kimber and Sprinfield XDM. It seems like I've got the firearms that I...

    Taurus vs Charter Arms

    I realize that neither brand is exactly considered top of the line but some people can barely scrape together enough money to buy a gun. If you only had $300 to spend on a 2" .38spl which brand would you prefer and why? I know that there are other choices out there and used guns can run $300...

    Ammo prices seem stable in my area

    I keep reading about the upcoming increase in ammo prices but haven't seen much fluctuation at the local stores, Walmart and my online sources. They might be swinging by a few cents per box. Maybe .50 for 9mm. Bear in mind that I'm buying mostly 9mm, 38spl and .223. What have you guys seen...

    S&W Bodyguard 38 owners

    What are you opinions on this handgun? Worth the money or do you have buyers remorse? I'm not familiar with this model but I've got several other revolvers and am looking at something for CCW. I've been leaning towards a LCR but a local shop has Bodyguard 38's on sale for $440? Good price...

    Shooting and Rx glasses

    I've seen a few people recently write about shooting in Rx glasses. Someone mentioned that they told the doctor that they were shooters and the optometrist changed the prescription or cut the lenses differently. Why? Has anyone run across this and is it something that I need to worry about...

    Tuscon shooter and mag failure?

    Some stories are saying that the Tuscon shooter was tackled as he was reloading and others are saying that the spring failed on his "Clip." Does anyone have any idea what the gun experts in the MSM are talking about in regards to the spring failure?

    Looking for a hatchet sheath

    Smart Gun fans

    Every once in a while someone that I work with will sing the praises of "Smart Guns." They are generally non shooters, Libs or just very uninformed. The idea must be a good one since it has "Smart" in the title....right. These are my arguments against the whole Smart Gun scheme. If you have a...

    Kahr CW9 range report and first impressions

    I picked up a Kahr CW9 over the weekend for $400. It came with one mag, a pretty cheap plastic case and a 3 piece trigger lock (you put a plastic bit on either side of the trigger and run a pin through it. Put your own lock on the pin). The packaging wasn't that impressive but the gun has a...

    Readhead Scopes....any good?

    What are your opinions about Bass Pro Shop's line of Readhead scopes? I'm guessing they are made in China like everything else but a confirmation would be nice. Are they any good? Thanks.

    Scope mounts for Savage 99E

    I'm looking for scope mounts for a Savage Model 99E for a family member. This lever action (300 Win) is over 30 years old and has a lot of curve on the top near the ejection port. It looks to me like it will need two different heights of mounts. A guy on Gunbroker has a nice Model 99E in .308...

    Army drops bayonet training

    http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9EF3B00&show_article=1 Doesn't seem like a great idea to me. The bayonet is no longer widely used but sooner or later it will be used by some unit in an engagement. At least basic training would help. Anyone that thinks bayonet training, and pounding...
