Hi all, bit of background. I'm looking for a solid reliable shotgun to use for a variety of disciplines (clays and practical shotgun). At first I was leaning towards a semi-auto shotgun, because of the lower recoil. But I found out that the Benelli M3 exists, and is capable of switching between...

I was always under the impression that guns were very strictly controlled in India, only allowed for sporting purposes. According to Gun Policy though, out of the estimated 40 million guns in private Indian hands, only 6.3 million are registered and legally held. With the number of rapes on the...

An amateur video of the police armed response to the two knife wielding fanatics in London has been released: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/woolwich-attack-watch-shocking-video-1907772 You can see just how much ground the first BG with the knife managed to cover in such a short time...

Can you transfer a self-built firearm (that has no serial number)?

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/347220/poll-majority-disapprove-presidents-handling-gun-policy My two pence on this are... 1) It's a poll, and you should only take so much away from a poll. 2) There is ambiguity over why they disapprove. Do they disapprove of the concept of more controls...

I've heard that different calibres have different inherent accuracies. My understanding is that the 9mm is not considered to be one of the more accurate calibres. When I was shooting "bullseye" at 50m with a 9mm, a fellow shooter recommended I try his custom loads. They were subsonic, so that...

My understanding is that the Toomey-Manchin amendment was to extend background checks to private sales where the seller advertised. It leaves transactions between friends and family alone. Here are my thoughts and ponderings: 1) Is this so unreasonable? Is there not some concern that you...

I have a question about the use of the forward assist on an AR-15 platform. I understand it's used to help put the rifle into battery. Couldn't you tap the charging handle for a similar effect?

Someone on my Facebook feed just shared this picture released by Obama: A quick Google search seems to agree with this, but I can't help but feel that the stats have been manipulated somehow because there really doesn't seem to be that much appetite for a ban or other control measures.

I've got the aforementioned gun with fixed sights, but it shoots a little to the right, and I'm all but certain it isn't operator error. What's the best way to move the sights, without investing in adjustable sights?

I have a second hand CZ 75 that doesn't look like it was very well maintained by the previous owner(s). There are black deposits everywhere inside the slide and on the barrel. Here's the inside of the frame, it's got a coppery hue to it and I just can't get rid of it. Here's the inside...

I was told that if you shoot a CZ 75 or similarly designed gun sideways or "full homie", there's a real risk of breaking the slide release. I've not found anything on the net about this so would like some thoughts. As a disclaimer, I've no intention of making this style of shooting a main...

The general accepted mantra seems to be, focus on the front sight. When shooting with both eyes open, this means you see doubles of the rear sight and the target. Do you just train yourself to ignore the "ghost" images? I find that I look through the sights at the target, and it's a lot easier...

Here I am again with another techniques thread. This time I'm looking at the push/pull technique to make follow-up shots as fast as possible. My idea of the push/pull is to push away from me with my firing hand, and to pull back towards me with the support hand. I was under the impression...

I'm thinking of getting a 5.11 taclite vest, and some reviews on Amazon say that their sizing is a bit off and that you should order a size larger for a comfortable fit. Does anyone here have any experience with them? They seem to be a popular choice for shooters.

I've been offered a second hand Walther P22 by a guy at my club. I've been looking into getting a .22 so I can practice the fundamentals without burning a hole through my wallet. The thought had been to get a CZ Kadet conversion kit as I already have a CZ 75 Shadow, but this used P22 could be...

I have a 9mm/38/357 brush, and when I use it on my 9mm's barrel, it seems to be a bit tight. I can only push it through one way. Is such a tight fit normal? I don't want to be wearing away or damaging the rifling.

When I shoot a pistol one-handed, I will normally cant it slightly, especially off-hand shooting to help bring it in line with my dominant eye. Does canting it (about 15 degrees) affect accuracy at standard pistol ranges? Should I stop canting it altogether, or do others also shoot canted?

What are people's opinions on Sickinger holsters? Although I live in a part of the UK that still allows pistols, there isn't a great deal of choice for holsters, specifically for a CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow. I spotted a Sickinger duty holster specifically for that gun in a store, but it was pretty...
