    Glock stainless slide and barrel

    I have a Glock 19 (gen 3) and like it. I want to learn more about smithing and hope to trick this one out. In case anyone feels like they want to warn me against modifying it (a glock is already perfect, mods can reduce reliability), I have two G19s and won't mess with the other one. This is...

    S&W 625 feedback

    I have two 45's, a 1911 and a Glock 30sf. At the risk of starting a fight, I have decided to sell my 1911 because I'm not a fan of the platform. It's not that I don't appreciate a 1911, it's that I've never gotten good shooting it, the takedown and cleaning is (relatively) a PITA, etc etc...

    Case length and trimming question for .357 mag

    I am processing my first batch of reloads using once-fired brass from my pistol. I shot lots of brands. I've noticed that the Hornady polymer tipped cases are pretty short, roughly 1.25" after resizing. I assumed this was to accommodate the polymer tip on these things. I don't know how much...

    Which polymer 45

    I know it's all personal preference so why ask? Well, I generally love the XD pistols but not so much in 45. I generally dislike Glock but love the 21/21SF and 30/30SF. I think because the Glock bore axis is low they shoot real soft and I'm accurate as hell shooting it. Better than I shoot...

    Reloading noob question(s)

    I decided to take the plunge into reloading, and want to start with 308 so I can fine tune the loads, maybe save a bit of money in the long run as well. I'll also consider 357 Mag and 45 ACP if the cost or availability makes it desirable. I was hoping someone could explain the reason there...

    44 mag advice/suggestions

    I have decided to get a 44 magnum revolver and have generally narrowed it down to the two obvious manufacturers, Ruger and S&W. I usually rent guns when I'm narrowing things down, but in this case I can't find local ranges with much selection in 44 mags. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    Glock problems in .45... real or BS?

    New to Glock. If I get one it would be only my second polymer pistol. Thinking of getting a G30 as my first. Read some stuff about issues with the 45ACP models and how they can explode or have the slide forcibly separate from the receiver when firing. I suspect this is BS because I can't see...

    New AWB or will it all just blow over?

    I question weather Washington/Congress has the will to pass a ban. I mean, they can't even decide if they should reduce taxes, increase them, or if they stay the same. The only decision they can make is to enact painful default policies if they can't agree on anything. And they may end up...

    Metal framed .40 or Px4 storm .40?

    I have a CZ 75b in 9mm and a 1911 (45 of course). I'd like a 40 S&W to round out my collection. I generally like metal framed guns but keep coming up sort of empty in my search for a metal framed 40. I would get the 75b in 40 but don't want two handguns that are the same other than caliber...

    Carlson barrel or Benelli barrel?

    I want to get a 28" barrel for my Benelli Nova Pump, for trap shooting. I was slightly horrified to see the Benelli branded barrels are about $300 but the Carlson are closer to $200. I was leaning towards a Carlson but was hoping someone can chime in if there is any diminished quality versus...

    Talking to kids about guns

    My son is 4, and has started asking questions about guns. He sees me cleaning mine. I don't want to avoid the topic but I also think he's too young to start teaching gun safety and train him to shoot safely. I would appreciate any input on when is a good age to start talking openly about why...

    Want 1st hand feedback on the PX4 storm

    It's funny... I see the gun in my local shop, have shot it at the range, and love it's looks. It fits my hand perfectly. I can shoot it accurately. Maybe it's easier on recoil than the non-rotating barrel counterparts but I don't find recoil on a full sized or compact gun an issue in 9 or 40...

    If the world reverted to ground zero...

    ... what handgun would you want, if you were only able to chose one? Assume that you can't have any other firearm (like a long gun) to accompany it. By ground zero I mean all the worlds governments are destroyed, there is no electricity, all the grocery stores have been raided and shelves are...
