First of all, I am a firm believer that a firearm is a tool, and like any good tool, should be tailored to the job it is going to do. I know that there is no such thing as a "Do all" or "magic ONE gun. What I want to know, is can I get away with just one shotgun? After all, money is getting...

I am in the market for a new hunting rifle. It will be used on deer, and maybe a hog hunt, but deer is the primary use. I already have a few bolt actions in various calibers, but I want a shorter ranged, faster, repeater. I just want a nice all-arounder. I am trying to decide first, between...

I was perusing the new arrivals at the LGS today and saw some new AR platform pistol caliber carbines. These one accepted glock mags for their respective caliber. Then I saw some 30r 45acp glock mags. This got me thinking. Perhaps the best HD,CQC, entry team weapon: Pistol caliber...

This will likely have a follow-on thread after I make decision #1. I have determined that I need a centerfire rifle. I have 2 9mm hand guns and a .22lr rifle. I decided to get a rifle before a shotgun. The exact purpose if this rifle is pretty general. I won't be doing a lot, or likely any...

I just got off the phone with a pollster asking questions about the two main Gubenitorial canidates in NC. At the end of the poll they asked a question I don't usually get. "What question that you were not asked would you have like to have been asked about the canidates for govoner?"...

These businesses have been around in the area longer than I have, and I am told that their policy is unchanged. There are two shooting ranges here in my part of Coastal Carolina, that openly BAN both concealed and any other form of loaded weapon on their premises other than in the shooting...

I am in the market for 2 compact scopes for my rifles. I want 1" tube for ease of rings and what not, no longer than is actually necessary, and fixed 4x. I don't want to get into the merits of adjustable 3x9, even though they are prevalent and easier to come by. I have some personal opinions...

I am well aware that lever guns tend to be some of the best options for a lefty. And I know that almost any "right handed" lever can be shot by a lefty, as well as if not better than a "lefty" lever. I was wondering if there is anyone, past or present, that has made or is making a lever...

I am in the market for a full size 9mm. I already have an M&P Shield 9 and am not looking to add another caliber (at least not right now). This will be an all-around gun, some carry in the cooler months when I have a jacket to conceal, truck duty and home defense. All come with 2 mags, the...

I have always been a proponent of buying quality. But price does not always equal quality. I went out shooting with some friends this weekend, and had mentioned I was looking at maybe getting a 1911. After all, what red-blooded American doesn't own a good 1911?, right? They were all kind...

This is my fist review, so bare with me. I wanted to include some pictures, but they kept coming out fuzzy, so I just left them off. I wanted to post a review here on my newest acquisition, a S&W M&P Shield 9mm. First how I got here. I had been using a Ruger LC9 for that last several...

So tax money came in, and after paying off all my debt, which thankfully was not that much, I have $1500 to spend. I have narrowed my choices down to 2 different options, involving 3 different types of weapons. I already have a Ruger LC9 and Marlin .22LR. Choice 1: Buy a Gen4 Glock...

This is a spin off of another thread I have posted in the Autoloader section since I hijacked my own original thread. I am looking for an IWB holster for a Gen 4 Glock 19. I have narrowed it down to the following: Milt Sparks VM2-pricey and a long wait...like months to years, but probably...

I used to have a G19 for my CCW. In fact, it was my only gun for a while. I had it about a year before I got rid of it. I went through a litany of other guns including Ruger SP101, LCR, Sig P232, DB380 and now I have a Ruger LC9. Other than the old RTF that ate up my clothes and my flesh, I...

First up, why is there no rim fire section of this site? I suppose that it can get lumped in with rifle, or revolver of semi-auto, but with the huge gain in popularity in .22lr these days, I could see a whole section on rim fire getting quite a lot of attention on this site. That is my bone to...

I am not a "shotgunner". I have shotgun experiance, but my knowlege base is fairly limited. I am looking at getting a shotgun for "all-around" use. That would mean, HD, fun shooting backyard trap, and hunting things that either fly or run. I know that the usual suggestion would be Rem 870...

A while back, I was asking for advice in deciding between a mid capacity 45 vs. a high capacity 9mm. I have decided to go with the 9mm option. For one, I already have an LC9 in 9mm (obviously) and it appears that my perceived need for a larger round will not be necessary (not a lot of bears of...

I am in the market for a new pistol. Something generally considered "full-" or "service" sized. I want it to be in .45ACP. Steel vs Plastic is not much of an issue. I have tried but can not use any of the .45ACP glocks. The double stack even in the SF version is too large, ad the 36 just...

I did a quick search and did not find anything already that covers my question specifically. To make a long story short, I currently have a DB380 as my only handgun. I was just days from moving to NY and had sold all my guns when the job I was supposed to be going to suddenly "evaporated" and...

I had a chance to put about 400 rounds through a Ruger LC9 that a buddy of mine owns. I am rather impressed with the gun, all things considered. I will be picking one up to replace my .380ACP as my CCW. I am looking for a larger pistol to pair with it in the future. It does not have to...
