    How are you remembering D-Day?

    I'm doing it by reflecting on my grandfather who, while he did not participate directly in Operation Overlord, served as a bomber waist gunner in the Mighty Eighth Air Force. One of the greatest things we can do to honor those of his generation who sacrificed so much to preserve freedom is to...

    What can you tell me about this old Colt?

    The uncle of one of my close friends passed away. He had a rather large gun collection that will be auctioned as part of an estate sale. Most are pretty uninteresting no-name double-barrel & single-barrel shotguns, but one Colt caught my eye. There's no description other than "Colt 45 cal...

    What rifle is this? Mauser Variant?

    The uncle of one of my close friends passed away. He had a rather large gun collection that will be auctioned as part of an estate sale, and this rifle is pictured with no info/description. I'm guessing a lot of folks here will be able to easily identify it. Any thoughts?

    List of Retailers that are Price Gouging or Attempting to Control Supply

    A lot of folks think we we should remember the retailers that are currently price gouging and choose not to patronize them after this current panic settles down. I know some folks will say "there's no such think as gouging," but it has been well-defined by many economists that gouging is...

    NBC Sports Network Cancels “Gun Programming”

    Disgusting. That's the only word that comes to mind. So much for the concept of using firearms for sport anymore. We apparently should just all be grouped in with the criminals. :rolleyes: http://www.3gunnation.com/news/nbc_sports_network_cancels_gun_programming

    My First 1911! Colt XSE

    I'm no stranger to 1911s, but I've never owned one of my own... until now! I've been looking for a stainless XSE Government locally (didn't want to buy a 1911 sight unseen) for a long time, and after 18 months of looking, finally found one! Stainless Rail Guns and blued XSEs are relatively...

    Columbia, SC police department adopting FN FNS-9

    As far as I know, this is the first significant police department (405 officers) to adopt the FNS pistol. It's obviously not a coincidence, since FN Manufacturing happens to produce this pistol at their factory in Columbia. The 9mm FNS-9 will be replacing the department's .45ACP SIG-Sauer P220...

    CMMG 16" M4LE WASP .22LR Dedicated AR Upper mini-review & range report

    Folks, I thought I'd share this because I haven't seen a great many reviews of the CMMG dedicated .22LR upper, just the .22LR conversion kit for 5.56mm NATO AR-15s. Anyway, I had been researching .22LR uppers for a while and finally picked this up (along with a Black Dog Machine X-Form...

    Fortune Magazine: The truth about the Fast and Furious scandal

    Fascisnating "Fast & Furious" article on CNN Money Although clearly written from an anti-2nd Amendment perspective (typical of CNN articles), I found this article about the inner workings of the "Fast and Furious" debacle to be very interesting, if for no other reason than the details it...

    CMP Service Grade M1 Garand - Springfield or HRA

    Decisions, decisions... I'm about to pull the trigger on a CMP Service Grade Garand, and I can't make my mind up between the Springfield Armory or Harrington & Richardson Arms rifle. I like the fact that the Springfield is a Springfield (just like the idea of seeing that on the receiver for...

    Best AR-15 caliber for deer hunting?

    I know this is a question with a thousand variables, but figured I'd fish for opinions anyway. :) What do you guys and girls think the most effective all-around AR-15compatible cartridge is for deer hunting? I'm not thinking about wildcat or exotic cartridges, but instead about...

    FN FNP-9 or Walther P99 SA?

    I'm having a tough time making up my mind between these two for my first 9mm pistol. I've ruled out the Glock 17 and Springfield XD (don't like the feel of them) and the S&W M&P (nice ergonomics, don't like the trigger at all). I love the ergonomics of the Walther . It just feels perfect in...
