I purchased a bunch of .380 ammo when ammo supply was short due to what I felt was a good deal. However, my son shoots .380 far more than I do and I never really looked at the bullet weight. It turns out it is a 124 gr bullet in .380. The manufacturer is Ammo Inc. I can’t find any reviews of...

The First CCW thread got me thinking through all of my choices through the years. Ohio Concealed Carry Law passed in April of 2004. I was within the first 50 issued by Ohio. I would venture to say that most of us have had a Goldie Locks complex regarding our carry choices. What have you...

I have a Silencerco Hybrid 46 suppressor. I attached the piston for use with my Glock 9mm. I have a Ruger PC9 with the same threads. Does it matter if I leave the piston on when I shoot from the PC9 rifle? Or do I need to remove it prior to shooting the rifle? Thank you!

I’m just giddy right now.....and I don’t use that word, well, ever. When I was a teenager, I spent many days hanging in the LGS. They were good people and very kind to me. I would pour through their catalogues and handle various arms. At some point, I decided on the exact gun I wanted. It...

I have no other reason other than I think they are pretty cool. I am not a guide, but I do hunt deer with a .44 Mag lever action. I don’t need this. I want it. It will go in a Diamond D chest rig. I’m down to a choice between two options. The Smith and Wesson 629 Performance Center and the...

I love shotguns. My first gun was a Wingmaster given to me by my late father when I was 16. Having no particular love for guns, my dad would go with me trap shooting at the Isaac Walton on Sunday’s taking his old H&R Topper 20. My love grew into adulthood where my collection grew...

I won’t call it a “unicorn” or even a “grail” gun, but today I traded into one of those guns that I always wanted. Here, in Ohio, our deer cartridges are limited to cartridges with straight walls. Today, I traded into an unfired, still in the box, Marlin 1895G in .45-70. It’s a JM...

I ran across a Kriss Vector on Armslist today for around $1300 used. It boasted that it takes 30-round Glock magazines. Now I’ve enjoyed a few pistols with braces that some people may consider shouldering. That, I get. Putting that four inch barrel in a two handle hold firm against the...

I was cleaning out the house and found a 1996 Shooters Bible. While flipping through, it jumped out at me that gun prices have not gone up in the past 23 years. In fact, models still in production have either stayed the same or have dropped significantly. Just seemed very odd that it would...

I recently decided to get into the suppressor game. Actually a few weeks before the Virginia shooting, so truly is not a panic decision. I ordered a Silencerco Hybrid today. The thought being that it appears to be a decent product that will be useful with a number of handguns and rifles that...

I did a price match on Bud's for a Tavor x95 on a whim, and they accepted it at about $200 below advertised. However, I noticed that the gun I put in the cart is a X95 Bullpup 5.56 16.5" THRD ODG 30rd. Obviously I know what all of that means EXCEPT the "THRD" and for the life of me, I can't...

Ohio does not have reciprocity, so Concealed Carry is out. Understood. Using the google, I'm getting mixed info. I found that I can carry in my car if passing through, but if I stop for gas or anything, I have to unload and lock up. I've read something else that said the safe travel does not...

I was involved with a three for one gun trade today. Nice guy....seemed knowledgeable... All three guns presented to me in closed boxes with no mags in. Two of the three had a round in the chamber when I pulled the slide open as I always do when presented a closed-action firearm. Sent a...

My safes are getting a bit over-crowded with guns that I'm wanting to hold on to, but I really don't shoot. Buying a larger safe isn't really an option right now. I was thinking of storing them in the crawl space of my house. It is a functional space built only ten years ago with our home...

During initial assembly, the magazine spring let loose before I could see what it looked like assembled. Does the magazine extension remain open at the end or did I do it wrong? Am I missing a piece? I'm used to an end cap covering the hole in my shotguns, but I've never had an extension and...

For discrete carrying, my Walther PPS is perfect for me. It's the right balance between weight, accuracy, carry-ability, width, and general shootability. However, I've been searching for that perfect larger gun...perhaps having more rounds. Over time, I've accumulated a few that find their...

This is not an apocalypse/zombie/SHTF discussion. A friend of mine is down in Baton Rouge this week helping his mother deal with the flood damage to her home. He's not a gun owner and has no desire to be one, but he has let me know about various curfews and the potential for miscreants to be...

I've been out of the bolt game for a long time. I now live in an urban setting, in a state that doesn't allow deer to be taken with rifle calibers and I own no land other than the postage stamp on which my house sits. That being said, I want a nice rifle. Twenty years ago, I'd not hesitate to...

I used to carry my CZ PCR as my EDC. I am a frequent shooter as well, so "shootability" is important to me as well as carry comfort. For the last 14 months or so, I've been on this binge to find the perfect carry gun. I've been through cycles of PPS to P99C to P99 to 642 to 1911 VBOB to G26...

Walther P99c.... The subcompact the Internet forgot... In my unending search for the perfect carry gun, I've ended up with two very good options. Thus far, I've yet to come across any really good comparisons. I purchase my HK P30SK in June of this year. I ordered the V1 with the LEM...
