    Mossberg 500 - major problem!

    I've got a Mossberg 500 Persuader that my wife bought for me in December 2005. I haven't used it much (I don't think I have more than 300 rounds through it, all 2-3/4" buck, slugs or target loads). The only work I've had done is have gunsmiths install XS tritium ghost ring sights on it. The...

    Some new pics of my collection

    I was playing around with the digital camera, and I thought I'd try my hand at some gun photos. My Kahr MK9 & Kel-tec P3AT: P3AT with Nemesis pocket holster:

    Springfield 5" lightweight 1911 opinions wanted

    I'm looking at getting a 5" 1911, specifically the Springfield Loaded Lightweight Bi-tone, model # PX9104LP. I can get it for around $850-$900. I'd like your thoughts on this pistol. It will be mostly a range gun, but I will probably use it as a carry gun down the road. I like the...

    M1 Garand advice

    A friend of mine has offered me an M1 Garand for a good price. What should I check on the rifle? I don't care if it has matching serials, etc. I just want to know if it is in good condition and OK to shoot. Please educate me, as I know very little about the Garand.

    handgun refinishing options

    I have a 3 year-old blued P3AT that is in need of a refinish. I'm thinking about getting it nickel plated by Jack Fuselier, but I'd like to find out about other refinishing options. How have you folks had your pistols refinished? How well is the finish holding up? Pictures, as well as cost &...

    Source needed for self-defense with firearm stats

    A local newspaper printed a pro-gun editorial yesterday, and I wanted to write a letter to the editor expanding on the value of firearms for self-defense. Can anyone point me to a study related to the effectiveness of using a gun for self-defense? I remember reading that people who defend...

    PA resident travelling in Ohio

    The wife and I are going from PA to Ohio for part of the day on Friday. I have a PA CCW, but PA has no reciprocity with Ohio. Can anyone point me to the law as far as bringing a pistol into Ohio? Is it good enough locked in the trunk? Does it have to be unloaded/fieldstripped? Unloaded &...

    My "new" P225

    I got a good deal on a Sig P225/P6 (formerly a German police pistol) in excellent condition. I've tried other Sigs, and they never worked for me, but this one fits my hand almost as well as my P-01 does.

    Sig 225 opinions

    I got a chance to look at a Sig 225 at the local gunstore last weekend; NIB for about $500. It seems like a great pistol, and I might pick it up. What can you folks tell me about the 225? Is this a good price?

    serious MK9 Pearce grip extension problem

    I had the Pearce grip extensions installed on 2 6-rd magazines for my Kahr MK9, until this happened: I was wearing my MK9 in an IWB tucked holster with one of the 6-rd mags inserted. I was sitting down at a family dinner, and somehow the extension snagged on the back of the chair and came off...

    shotgun rust?

    I just got the shotgun back from the gunsmith last week, after having sights put on, I noticed there was light rust on both ends of the barrel. What can I use to fix this?

    Why .223 hollowpoints?

    Since the majority of .223cal/5.56mm rounds are designed to wound by tumbling/fragmenting, what advantage (if any) is there to using hollowpoint ammo? Are hollowpoints more lethal, or not? It seems to me that regular FMJ should do the job.

    necessary parts etc. for AR-15

    Well, I finally succumbed to Black Rifle Disease. I've got a Rock River Arms Elite on the way. This is my first Black Rifle; actually it's my first rifle. What is necessary to keep the AR running, besides a cleaning kit (besides ammo & magazines, of course.)

    Trijicon nightsight questions

    I'm looking into night sights for my CZ. I'm interested in the Trijicons, but I'm a little uncertain about the white rings painted around the tritium vials. How well do the white rings hold up? Anyone know of other night sights for the CZ that have a white ring around the tritium vials?

    Opinions before I buy an RRA Elite CAR A4

    Well folks, I'm about ready to order an RRA Elite CAR A4 from Eagle Firearms (I'll actually order an upper & a lower, both RRA). Anyway, I wanted to run my specs by you to get your thoughts: -chrome-lined barrel -removable tac mount (I plan on getting an Aimpoint later on) -mid-length rail...

    Railed handguard or not?

    Help me decide - I am about set to buy my first AR- a RRA Elite CAR A4. I can't decide on whether I should order it with a standard handguard or a quad-rail handguard. I like the idea of having a vertical foregrip on the gun, and I probably would only hang a light on the rail, but what do...

    AR-15 carbine - mid-length or not?

    I'm planning to buy an AR-15 soon (probably RRA). I'm partial to the looks of the mid-length carbines rather than the shorter handguard. Aside from a slight increase in sight radius, are there any other advantages to mid-length handguards? Are there disadvantages compared to the shorter handguard?

    PPK sight options?

    I've been thinking about getting a PPK or PPK/S, but I don't like the factory sights. Are there aftermarket sights available for the PPK?
