    Who needs 357 Dainty?

    When one has 44? Why would anyone bother with a tiny and dainty round like 357? It's just sad to see grown American men choose to use a Europellet caliber called 357 Little Momentum. Here's a 629 Deluxe 3". It's everything you need in a CCW revolver. Here's a 24-3.

    Bolt action rifle ideas

    I am thinking of going to the Burlington, Vermont area. I would like to buy property and put up a small range for personal use. It would be outside any town or city. What are the laws?

    One 45 ACP

    If you could have just one pistol chambered in 45 ACP, which would you choose? Do not overthink this. You have the rest of your collection and can buy other guns. Whatever the situation is, you can have just one pistol in 45 ACP. That means you could build a P320 in 45 with various slides and...

    One 40 S&W

    If you could have just one pistol in 40 S&W, which would you choose? Do not overthink this. Whatever the situation is, you can have just one pistol in 40 S&W. You have your whole collection of guns. You can swap it for another and buy more guns. Assume that the limit is not legal, but for some...

    One 9mm

    If you could have just one 9mm pistol, which would you choose? Do not overthink this. Whatever the situation is, you can have just one 9mm pistol. That means you could swap it for another. Assume that the limit is not legal, but for some sort of personal reason such as being a diehard...

    Film industry gun handling and preparation?

    After all the swirl regarding Baldwin’s negligent handling of a firearm on the set of “Rust”, a question comes to mind: What are the typical procedures that are used in the industry when handing an actor a firearm for use in a scene? My thought, out of sheer ignorance, is that the actor is...

    Best stippling work for S&W M&P M2.0

    I dislike the M&P 2.0 grip texture and want to have it professionally fixed with either stippling or laser stippling with borders. Who does great work in your opinion?

    Under 3” folding knife for EDC?

    Hey all! Due to state laws, a blade of less than 3” can go just about anywhere. What folder do you recommend? People asked about price. I prefer $100 or less, but I can do $200 for the perfect knife.

    The elk caliber thread

    A friend of mine wants to buy a hunting rifle to hunt elk. He's leaning toward 30-06 Springfield. I'm leaning toward 300 Win Mag if he can handle it since many shots will be long. But, 300 WM will be tough to learn, not to mention expensive. He'll still have to train at 100 yard increments...

    New Forum Game: 2 Handguns only

    President Harris succeeds with all her gun control and weakling Americans go along with it. You are moving to Romania. There are no “but ifs” to the story. You are allowed only two handguns and they must be of the same caliber. The guns may be carried openly or concealed depending upon your...

    SIG P320 FCU with manual safety reassembly

    Does anyone know the trick of reinstalling the manual safety on a P320 45 FCU? I cannot get the safety to line up with the opposite side and get the part in the slot. I checked on youtube and there is only a removal video that doesn’t show enough detail.

    SIG P320 45 Compact Review-ish

    This is a lightweight review of my SIG P320 45 Compact with manual safety. I just fired 150 rounds through mine. It has night sights and a manual safety. I shot it next to my P220 Legion SAO. Some points in no particular order: 1) Recoil is a bit more snappy than the P220. It likely feels...

    S&W M&P 45 M2.0 Trigger Glitch

    I have three M&P M2.0 guns and my 45 glitches at the end of the trigger pull (front sight bounces left). The other M&P M2.0's don't do that. I am looking for a mechanical fix and am not interested in advice on shooting technique.

    M&P 45 M2.0 Compact?

    Is S&W going to release an M&P 45 M2.0 Compact? Any rumors? I'd love it if they managed to make one that is the same height as the Glock 30 with 10 round capacity.

    Sand Burr Gun Ranch S&W 629

    This is a 629-6 straight from Denny Riechard's bench at Sand Burr Gun Ranch. He gave it the works. It is very smooth. I recommend Denny for any S&W revolver gunsmithing that you may need! The gun is amazing and the Herretts Stocks Jordan Troopers really do work well for light, medium and...

    Recoil Mitigation

    I attended the Rangemaster Tactical Conference last weekend. I went to Paul Sharp's Recoil Mitigation class. It was so good I went twice! The technique he taught cleaned up my single hand shooting (and made single hand shooting with the support hand possible for me). The technique is the...

    1911 barrel frame gap?

    I almost bought this Remington R1 Carry, but then I noticed the barrel and frame ramps meet exactly. Is this in spec? I thought there needed to be a small gap. Will this cause feeding problems? I was pressing on the muzzle when the picture was taken. I also wiggled it around a bit.

    Modern pancake holster for single action?

    Does anyone have one of these? I am thinking of getting a Ruger Blackhawk 45 Convertible and want a holster with retention. The El Paso Saddlery #77 Tortilla is one of the candidates. Does anyone have experience with this, or a similar holster, with a single action revolver? Example...
