My wife needs a pistol for home defense. She has shot my 9mm autos a few times but doesn't really enjoy shooting...yet! As we have more kids, she increasingly wants something to defend herself and wants to try shooting again. Problem is she is very petite, 5'2" and about 105 lbs. She has...

I can buy 115 gr. 9mm reloads (plated FMJ's) for $160/1000 in an ammo can locally (plus tax). They work great. I think that reloading would be fun but I'm not sure that it is worth the time for the cost savings. Looking in local stores, I can buy 125 gr. RN cast 9mm for $44/1000 (4.5 cents a...

I've got one that is 2 and one on the way, I would like to buy a bolt action .22lr for a first rifle for my kids. What is out on the market? Are there any with collapsible stocks to allow for adjustments as they grow instead of buying new stocks? Any suggestions on models to look for? Out of...

2 guys at the last 3 Gun match shot 10/22's because of ammo prices and it really looked like fun. I only have a Magtech 7022 .22 rifle (cost me $66 new) but it only has 10 round mags. What are my options for a "military" style .22lr rifle? 1) New Spike's Tactical .22lr AR15 upper will run...

In the last year or two there has been a huge increase in the number of recreational shooters that make a point of listing the BUIS (Back Up Iron Sights) on their rifles (mostly AR's but there are others as well). I completely understand the usefullness of having back up sights when in a combat...

I want to be sure ot see any booths of THR members at the SHOT Show. All of us Action Target guys just got done with dinner after setting up our booth and shooting range equipment all day today at SHOT. We're in booth #8783 in the Law Enforcement section if anyone wants to stop by to see...

SBR AR in 7.62x39, estimated costI'm looking for an alternative to a Krinkov AK SBR, just to see if anything out there might be a better deal. Currently, AK Krink built rifles run $950 for the Yugo M92's (10" barrel, underfolding stock), to $1300 for the now very hard to find Bulgarian Krinks...

I have watched the prices of both 7.62x39 and .308 more than double in the past year and a half and their availability plummet as well. While I don't really enjoy shooting .223 rifles, I am beginning to see past my stubbornness against owning a "poodle-shooter" solely because of long-term ammo...

Heard it straight from an FN rep today (said he was at HQ in Herstal, Belgium last week), but he said that they would be expensive. More .223 and .308 belt feds sounds good to me. He also said that the SCAR rifles in .223 and .308 were still going to take until 2008 to get into civilian...

Is AIM Surplus still the best deal on .308? Their South African 980 rd. case is now $189 (dang, I used to buy it for $148 shipped a case) and shipping is $38 to me. Is there anything better than this? Where is that .308 price guide that is updated weekly? I think it was on...

I love my full-size M&P 40 but I want the compact for a new CCW. When are they planned for sale?

On a whim, I picked up a S&W M&P .40 used this week for $420 (looked like it had never been shot, but who knows). I got to shoot it today and was very impressed with the lack of recoil and the near perfect ergonomics. I shot it alongside my heavy CZ SP-01 9mm and if felt like the recoil was...

I wasn't going to try reloading 9mm because I won't save a ton of money doing so, but as a first time reloader, I was thinking that starting on 9mm might be easier than starting with .40 s&w and 10mm, especially because I plan to start out with a Lee Pro 1000 progressive press and as I become...

I'm a huge 9mm fan and love it for all types of shooting, steel, paper, plinking, etc. But it sometimes lack the power needed to knock down steel and you can buy it so cheap that I also can't bring myself to start reloading it because I won't save much. I also love 10mm (own 3 of them)...

I need a gun cleaning and reloading work bench for my unfinished basement. Home Depot has a DIY wooden bench with a solid surface countertop for $58 and both Home Depot and Sears have nice metal work benches with solid surface tops for $149-$189 plus pegboard or railed backers with build in...

Finally getting expanded digital cable and wondering if there are channels I dont' know about that have gun related programs I should be sure to get like the Military Channel. As of now I have only had the History Channel and OLN, which have a few gun-related programs per month. Shooting USA...

After reading just a few posts about people using skateboard grip tape on their competitive pistols, I decided to try it. Bought 1 foot of it for around $2. I installed it on both the front and backstraps of my CZ SP-01, CZ RAMI, and Tanfoglio Witness MATCH 10mm. It really allows one to take...

I've only used a timer once but I want to get some good pratice in on the steel and better my skills. Can someone recommend an inexpensive, basic timer which can auto start me with a beep? I can always get a really nice timer when my skills have caught up a little. Thanks.

Did some informal trap shooting with a mechanical slinger with some neighbors yesterday. One of them claimed that his O/U shotgun was appraised at the local Cabela's at $25k!!!! I called BS right from the start, why would he take it shooting? I don't know O/U shotties, he claims it is a...

Family has hinted asking what fun gift I would want for a college graduation present. I don't expect anything and have told them that I don't need anything. Just for fun, what gun would you ask for a college graduation gift? Let's assume that the budget is around $1000? Then what would you...
