Hello all, Horror: a while back, through a series of missteps, trades, and snaffoos I ended up with a Ruger SR45. the original owner claimed he had only 100 rounds through the handgun, and when I received it, it only came with a single magazine, again the claim from the original owner was that...

Hello all, I recently acquired two handguns, a Beretta PX4 compact, and a Sig Sp2022. I made a range review of the Sig which is still floating around somewhere here, but today I finally got the chance to shoot the Beretta, as well as do some additionally shooting and comparison with the sig...

Hello all, by now you've probably seen the other thread I made whining about my poor financial management skills and impulse purchases. well this is the cause for it, a Sig SP2022. the seller was asking a fairly reasonable price and my slightly lower but still upper end of reasonable offer was...

Hello all, I got to take out my new Springfield Range Officer 9mm Compact for some me time today. I had made up my mind to keep it on my bucketlist but then springfield had to ruin everything by saying if I bought it before jun 1st that I'd get 4 free mags and other goodies I'll never use. I had...

hello all, so a little background. I am former military, but have very little formal live fire weapons training due to my occupation and the branch I was in, however I shoot OK. I completed all the prerequisite courses to become a small arms instructor in my branch, but never was given the...

ok, I'm throwing on my flame suit for this one. a little while ago I had the chance to pick up a S&W M&P 9mm for a steal. it was the manual safety model and somebody screwed up and put the wrong price tag on it and the store was obliged to honor the price tag. I've had it out a few times and...

ok this is a complete shot in the dark. I hadn't heard of these guns until recently. it's essential a Beretta M9 clone with a couple differences. the first is a frame mounted safety instead of the slide mounted horrible safeties that beretta is so fond of. the second is that the frame has...

hello all, ok so many of you might already know that for some reason I am a cheap bugger that likes to buy cheap handguns, and usually whine about the results afterwards. so I'm looking for input on the next one. so far I have purchased the Canik TP9(first gen), and TP9SF, the Ruger 9E, and the...

hello all, a couple years ago I decided to waste a whole lot of dollars so that other people wouldn't have to. ok to be a little less facetious, I started going back to college and had a lot of poor college students asking for advice on decent handguns that could still be had on a college...

hello all, for some reason I just spent the last 2 days obsessing over the next military surplus rifle that I just had to own. so after failing to find a single Swiss K31 for under $600 in stock, and losing a few bids on gun choker for Arisakas, I came across a sale on M39 mosins. the price...

hello all, I am getting ready to carry my springfield XDs 4 inch and I would like to preferably carry appendix IWB. anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a good holster for that purpose?

hello all, for my next gun related purchase I am looking at a couple different options. 1. buying a K31 or 2. scoping my M41B mauser. on one hand it would be nice to have a sniper I could reach out to 500+ yards with again but then again who can say no to a new gun?(I don't own K31 yet)...

hello all, I am working on a hunting load for a 6.5 but the fastest I'd be able to push it would be about 2350FPS at the muzzle. allowing myself a conservative minimum of 1000FTLBs of energy to do the job, I can expect a max effective range of 225 yards, which will leave my velocity at about...

hello all, disclaimer: this is not a bb gun VS buffalo thread, this isn't a you can't kill that or shouldn't kill that thread. with all that said, if a fellow was able to get a 120gr .264 diameter bullet going 2500fps, which one would have the best weight retention, expansion, and...

hello all, I am currently taking a communications class where I will be giving a speech on WWI weapons and tactics. I have heard from several fellows online that the reason that rear sights on milsurps are graduated so high was so that entire units could bombard a broad area rather than the...

hello all, I just bought a 6.5 grendel AR15 kit from JT. I don't know much about their suppliers or quality but figured that it was a good price so I just went with it. anyone have anything good or bad to say about their parts? who their suppliers are? parts that I may be wise to preorder...

hello all, I had intended to use my 223 for deer last fall but was unable to find a decent load using 62gr hornady HPBTs so I had to scrap that idea due to poor accuracy. Now I'm looking to get an early start on my load development and have been thinking to try out some 55gr loads instead...

hello all. I am asking this purely for academic reasons. a while back I noticed a number of gibbs rifles being sold in full length synthetic stocks and figured it was just a gimmick that gibbs was doing kindof like their chrome plated enfields in 45/70. however today looking at their sister site...

hello all, I recently came across Jack Ross ammo and decided I would stockpile some of it. when it arrived I decided that this would be a great time to do a little experimenting and write a review about them. my initial impressions were mixed. 1. they have the common decency to call it...
