I have not bought a new gun in a while, so I thought recieving my tax retrun might be a good time to break this drought. These are a few guns that have been floating around the top of my wish list lately. AR-556 Pistol (in .300 BLK) - I wonder why they don't call the version chambered in .300...

I just ordered a Mag-Pul X-22 Backpacker stock for my Ruger 10/22 TD, along with the matching Optic Mount. Now, I need to pick up a small, light weight, red dot sight to use. I don't necessarily want the cheapest sight I can find, but on the other hand I don't really want to spend $600 for a...

I recently added a CrimsonTrace laser to my Ruger LC9s pistol and now I'm looking for holster recommendations. I found one sturdy kydex IWB holster made by a company named B&B Holsters, but after wearing it for a couple days I realised it was pressing on the mag release after I found the mag...

Several years ago I bought a NovaTac Classic LED flashlight (based on some online recommendations), and was very happy with it. It was primarily a bedside flashlight for me, so it served me when the power was out, something went "bump" in the night, or I was looking for a dropped remote under...

I've managed to avoid the siren call of the 1911 for most of my life. For carry and home defense weapons, I've been more than satisfied with my polymer pistols. Recently, though, I had the chance to shoot a friends 1911, and I was really impressed. The gun seemed to almost aim itself and it...

I just ran across this on Facebook. The link is to the news page of a local Alabama TV station. AL carry permit holders no longer required to undergo additional background checks I know a lot of other states already allow firearms purchase without a BC for people with a valid CCW...

I wasn't sure if this belonged here in Activism or in the Legal sub forum, so if a mod wasn't to move it feel free. I was just looking at HR 2406 on PopVox and was wondering if anyone can offer some insight to this act? It seems on the surface to be a pro-2A and pro-sportsman set of...

I was wondering if any of you knew of any holster companies making leather belt mag pouches for the Glock 36? I've been using a nylon pocket mag pouch for the last year, and while it performs well I'd like to free up my left front pocket for other uses. The problem is I can't seem to find...

Does anyone have a link to the actual final text of the new AL CCW law? I've seen numerous summaries of the provision of the new law and links to the bill at various stages of its passage, but I can't seem to find the text of the law as passed. :uhoh:

It seems that the AL state House has overturned the veto on a law allowing teachers in Frankin County to carry concealed weapons in school (with training approved by the local sheriff). http://whnt.com/2013/04/16/house-passes-school-teacher-gun-bill-for-a-second-time/ I had not heard...

I've been giving some thought recently to getting myself another BP rifle. I had a kit-built Hawken style percussion rifle years ago, that I had to sell in order to buy books for college once semester and I've always wanted to replace it. Other than a bit of minor sanding around the butt plate...

I had my eye on a Lyman Great Plains rifle in .54 cal. The only thing I don't like about it is the blued barrel, I'd much rather have a browned barrel in a gun like this. So, I'm wondering if its possible to "refinish" a gun barrel? How would you strip the old finish off? Could you just...

I've been lusting after a MkIII Competition for a long time now but I finally 'pulled the trigger' on one today. My intention is to use this gun for informal bullseye shooting and the first thing I want to do is put a suitable optical sight on it. So I was hoping for any recommendations for...

When 5 armed robbers entered a jewelery store in Garden Grove, California, they were prepared for what they thought would be a cakewalk. You see, the store is run by a 65 year old, gray haired lady. But Granny had a gun and knew how to use it. Surveillance video captured the entire scene...

Sorry, but this is another one of those "which gun should I buy" threads! :p I'm looking for a new CCW gun. I already have a Glock 17 and Glock 21 both of which I can actually conceal with the proper choice of clothing (it helps that I'm a BIG guy!). But I'm thinking I'd like something a...

I was in my FLGS looking for something totally different and ran across a .22LR Ruger Single-Ten SA revolver. Although I generally don't care for the design of Ruger DA revolvers (nothing against them, I just don't like the looks), but I've always been attracted to their SA revolvers, so in the...

I ran across this while searching the interweb for something totally different the other day, and it really caught my eye. It looks like it would be a great fun-gun, either on range or plinking. I was curious if anyone who had one could comment on the guns (accuracy, reliability, durability...

I had a chance to take my new 10/22 TD out for a little shooting this past weekend, and I proved to myself that the stock sights just don't do it for my 50+ year old eyes. I had ordered a Nikon 4x32 rimfire scope to use on the gun, but once I got the scope it was immediatly evident that it was...

I've wanted an 1851 Navy for years, and I thought I would use this year's tax return to finally get one. The problem is, I can't seem to find one! Based on some feedback I got from some other BP shooters, I was looking for a steel framed gun from Uberti (preferably with the steel backstrap...

When you buy a used revolver, what do you look for? I've bought a couple used revolvers and seemingly lucked out in getting good ones each time, but how can you tell just by handling them in the shop if they might have mechanical problems? :uhoh: Try and tailor your explanations to someone...
