    Online "discount" gun dealers

    When I'm going to buy something, I do call the local dealers. If they have it in stock, and the total price difference is within 50.00 of what it would cost me to get it online then I buy it locally. That being said, I dont waste their time if I'm not serious about buying from them. Like someone...

    Time To Vote! I Can't Decide :)

    I guess I'm in the camp that cant vote. I've seen/heard about too many feed problems with the little Kahrs, so I'd have a hard time trusting them, also dont trust Taurus. I would carry .380, but prefer 9mm, and the Bersa and Walther are way too heavy for a 6 or 7 shot .380 (if I'm going to carry...

    S&W M&P 9mm vs Glock 9mm

    6 in one, half dozen in the other. It's going to be purely personal preference between the two. I chose the Glock because I like the trigger a little better, and the 26 is just slightly smaller than the 9c. I was going to get a 9c too, but my wife just started carrying, and she also preferred...

    Glock pistols

    There are other reliable pistols, but no other auto pistol has a reputation for reliability like the Glock. No frills, no extra levers or safeties to break or malfunction, just a rugged reliable tool that you can have confidence in. Thats what makes the Glock beautiful to me.

    people are to overly obsessed with the size and wieght of guns today.

    There's some words to live by. Who cares if there's a way to make things better, just keep suffering until you get used to it. Shoes too small? Just keep wearing them, you'll get used to it eventually. Besides, it makes you a **ssy if you buy something thats actually comfortable to wear, right?

    people are to overly obsessed with the size and wieght of guns today.

    Just because something was done a certain way for a long time doesn't mean we should keep doing it that way. As time progresses, new and better ways of doing things are developed. Communication and travel are two good examples, just because people used courier pigeons and covered wagons for...

    Who chooses an XD over others because of the grip safety

    I don't have one because of the grip safety. They're fine pistols, I just don't like the grip safety. I also dont like the cocked/uncocked indicators, magazine safetys, or the LC9's giant "loaded when up" indicator. It's not possible to "idiot proof" a gun, but it is possible to over complicate...

    stripped lower

    PSA has been really good so far. I bought 3 lowers from them last time they had a sale, and 2 of those have been built into rifles already. One of them was a 6.8 kit from another company, and the most recent was their standard M4 kit with the MOE upgrade for 529.00. All good stuff from them so...

    advice on AK 47 or ar 15

    So you believe that if the Iraq army had AR's and our troops had AK's that the Iraq army would have "won"?

    Looking to get into AR's

    No one here is really talking about sub standard rifles. There's way too much snobbery every time an AR thread comes up. If you're not in the military, but you feel like every weapon you own must be a military spec war tool, does that make you a mall ninja?

    Caliber vs Capacity- What's more valuable in a CCW?

    Thats all fine and dandy, unless you just happen to be in a gunfight that falls under the other 10%. When I consider a gun for CC there is a checklist that I use, in order of importance to me. #1 Reliability - All the expertise in the world is worthless if the gun doesnt function properly. #2...

    advice on AK 47 or ar 15

    +1 , So very true. I like the AR platform better for shooting at the range and general plinking, but if I had to go to a rifle for protection I'd grab my AK. If they quit selling guns tomorrow and I could only keep one (as far fetched as that is) I'd have to keep the AK just because it is...

    New 7.62x40 WT - .223 necked up to .308

    How does this compare to 300 aac blackout? It sounds really similar.

    Practical Polymer.

    Sounds like I need to shoot one. I've never liked DA/SA because I figure in a self defense situation, the first shot is very likey to be the most critical one. I also like the PPS, Walther has a few pistols out that I'd like to try.

    Practical Polymer.

    I like all the polymer pistols, I'm not going to belittle anyones decision to like a certain kind of pistol over another like a lot of the glock bashers in this thread. I chose Glock initially because no other manufacturer has established a reputation for reliability like they have. The M&P and...

    Practical Polymer.

    I prefer Glocks personally, but there's lots of reasons to use the others you listed. Some of those reasons are fit, price, availability, aesthetics, ergonomics, and compatibility with previously owned firearms, or family members firearms. Everyone has different physical builds/hand size, and...

    Springfield reliability?

    I favor Glocks, but I honestly feel that the Glocks, M&Ps, and XDs are all pretty equal as far as reliability goes, and they are all similarly priced. They each have minor differences that will appeal to different people, so it really just comes down to personal preference. I think you should...

    smith & wesson m&p 15 sport

    I havent owned a DS, but the parts used in the Sport are generally considered to be of much higher quality than those in the DS. Namely, the LMT BCG, and the Thompson Center 5R barrel.

    What Kind Of Gun Would You Like To See?

    1: Like many others, I want a Glock in 9mm about the same size as the PF9 or LC9. 2: I want 6.8 SPC to be adopted by the military so ammo prices will come down, and PMags made available. 3: A reliable pocket .380 with a good trigger.

    S&W 380 body guard or Sig sauer P238

    I agree with DPotvin, IMO, there just isnt a pocket pistol that is everything I want it to be. I dont own the Sig but I really like it, or at least I want to. It feels good in the hand, and has a good trigger (compared to every other pocket pistol on the market), but the reliability...
