I know the caliber had been around a while, but it's only recently come to my attention since a firearm I'm researching features it. So I go to look up information on the round itself and... Wow, what a mess. I've got the basics of what the round is designed to do, but the question of...

Okay, there's nothing a little .45acp won't cure. And lets face it, a Mauser is fine, too. But why would I potentially want to combine the two into a bolt action, 45acp carbine? Now granted, it does harbor a certain menace, but I'm still somewhat mystified. :scrutiny: I'm thinking this...

Finally got some range time with the Umarex Regent R200, a 1911 pattern pistol made in Turkey. While ammunition shortages curtailed a comprehensive test, I'm quite pleased with what amounts to a full featured stainless 1911 for under six bills. So what does taking a chance on a relatively...

Well, are they? The last thread along these lines had varying opinions back and forth concerning their place in the world of modern firearms, varying from cheap and efficient to being vastly outclassed by rifle caliber carbines, such as the 5.56. Is the pistol caliber carbine a dead end? Does it...

:D

So you're building a carbine to do everything. What caliber is it in? Why?

Make your own here :)

Picked her up today-- A Regent R200 :) Good times shall be had... As soon as I can scrounge some ammo :p Even includes the spent round used to document the factory test fire (the yellow packet). Hogue grips. The test round casing mentioned earlier... A set of burl...

Will be getting a new 1911 in the near future and have my eye on the .460 Rowland conversion kit for it. Assuming you've actually used or fired one, what do you think? Would you make the same choice again? Having fun? Too much trouble? Don't have a robot butler to pull the slide back? I don't...

You finally found that gun you've been searching for. A rifle. You HAVE to have. Come to me, Precious! And for such a low price. You do some some quick calculations. Shipping? Got it. FFL? Yep. That 3% charge for using a card with that website, ie; Bud's or similar websites? Decisions...

The Berretta NEOS, that is. Most everything i've read concerning them is that they're good pistols, but I can't find as much depth as i would compared to the Rugers and Brownings. Nuances like how they handle the hotter rounds, long term reliability, etc. Any NEOS owners here who can...

...As you'll be facing the scrutiny of internet memes far and wide. But I do have a serious question: Does anybody carry a .22 pistol for self defense? A semi? Maybe a revolver? Why? I'm not talking about out an about in the woods where you'll encounter laser zombie bears and the like. Just...

Anybody up for a Charter 9mm Bulldog that doesn't need moonclips? Yes, we know you like your .357, simmer down ;) Here's The Firearm Blog post.

Well, I'm looking at the RIA 1911 pictured below. It looks in overall good condition but the price seems good. Too good to be true; $445.00 (+40s&h+20ffl). Supposedly retailed for $800.00. I'm asking about the round count now, but aside from the grips and nickle it looks to be a baseline model...

Yes, Hi-point pistols are born from a wild tryst between a gorgon and satan's three headed pitbull. They are will known to stop any attacker by sheer threat of bludgeoning and are rumored to have depleted uranium slides forged from scraps left over after the cold war. So after molesting the...

Alright, lets get this out of the way. Yes, it was born from a wild evenings' tryst between Hell's giant three headed pitbull and a enormous deep sea octopus. And yeah, it is an abomination to the holy sacrament that is levergunning, threatening to devour the soul of all who touch it. And...

No seriously, is there any specific reason why gun manufacturers use shallow flathead screws from which their screw drivers easily slip from to scratch fine surfaces? Why not phillips? Sorry, it's just been driving me nuts that I finally had to vent about it. Every single dern rifle... :P

...otherwise known as plastic. I imagine somebody has tried to do this to maybe shorten the forearm or something. I'm thinking of doing so, but wonder what I'm going to find-- Solid plastic? A void that will require filling? Same with the Butler Creek folding stock. Your insight = appreciated :D

"Hi!" :D If your lever guns want to say hi too, they're more than welcome :)

For some inexplicable reason, I've been bitten buy a bolt-action bug and now find it nessisary to acquire an entry level long gun to send lead down range at high speeds across lengthy distances. My experience in the arena of bolt actions is, however minimal and there are enough options to make...
