I have a 1911-22 that is a single shot. It fires fine, ejects the case...and then click. I manually rack the slide and it picks up the next shell, loads...boom. Pull the trigger the second time...click. I have tried at least five different ammo types from bulk Winchester up to Stingers with...

I have, and regularly hunt with, a sporter Swede but I am thinking about getting a modern rifle in the same caliber. I AM NOT interested in any of the similar calibers 6.5 CM as I already have more than enough different calibers in my safe. I am looking to get an affordable rifle so...

Mods please feel free to move this to the appropriate forum. I know that many of us have optics that require the CR2032 battery. If you are like me you probably leave at least one Red Dot on and burn the battery down just about every time you go to the range. Batteries are about $3 each at...

We all love the old "stopping power" argument. Well...if the car is 40 years old then that may be true but in most cases it is much cheaper to keep your car running than to buy a new car. Lots of complaints that the M9 is too bulky for people with smaller hands. They are also considering...

From the time I was 21 until I was probably 40 I carried the same gun everywhere I went. .357 Colt Trooper. Once I got a little bit less "cash restrained" and started buying different handguns I began to rotate my carry gun based on weather, event, whims, etc. New gun? I will carry it for a...

I got one maybe two years ago and decided it would be a test gun so I have never done ANY cleaning on it. I haven't lubed or rubbed down a single part and the gun never fails to fire. We shoot it a lot, probably 2500+ rounds so far and have used every type of ammo I have purchased. The kids...

We went to the farm and she brought a couple of guns that she had gotten from a family member. When she opened her bag she pulled out a 40 cal Sig which is of course a nice gun. Then she reached in again and pulled out a Colt Anaconda with a (9" barrel)! Needless to say she had my attention...

this weekend and it was a nightmare! The gun had stovepipes and FTEs nearly every other round. We tried several different ammo types, all FMJ, and the results were all similar. We went through over 100 rounds, probably 75 or more by me, and could not get it to run. If you look at my past...

the suspect fired three rounds from a 40 caliber Hi Point at 125 yards and recorded two hits. Does this prove that a blind pig can find an acorn on occasion? I know I can't hit 2 out of 3 at 125 yards with a pistol (because I don't practice at that distance) while standing still and this guy...

I have a friend that is wanting to sell one. Belgian made and as mint as you will ever find an old gun. I doubt it has ever seen the woods and would be shocked if more than a box of ammo has gone through it. I don't know the age but it has obviously been a safe queen for most of it's life. I...

Yesterday a friend and I sighted in a new rifle for another friend, sort of a spur of the moment thing. He was working, knew we were headed out and asked us to sight in his new gun. My buddy got the gun shooting pretty good at 100 yards. I took the gun and fired three times and every one of...

I am still not seeing people dumping guns like I expected to see by this time. The next month things will probably change due to Christmas and the need to turn that $1500 DPMS Oracle into cash but right now I am just not seeing any deals locally. $450 for a gun that is $500 new seems to be the...

a double barrel rifle. Does anyone have a double barrel rifle? I have been looking for one.

I didn't check shipping as I don't need any but it is $215 per thousand. That is the best price I have seen in a while. I haven't used CTD in a couple of years and I know their shipping can be "quirky". Lots of people were mad at them because of their prices during the ammo scarcity but I...

I didn't start watching the show when it started because I don't care a bit about zombie movies and such but my son got me to watch a bit and I got hooked. Several people we know have been extras in the show as we live about 45 miles from where it is filmed. I have friends that are zombies...

I just posted a similar thread in the auto loader section. I am looking to add a high end revolver to my collection. I have many revolvers from Colt, S&W, Taurus, etc in calibers from .22 LR, .32long up to .357 magnum but am looking to spend around $2500 on a new gun. It will probably need...

I am looking to make my next firearm purchase a 1911 in .45 and I want it to be top of the line. I have other 1911's, in .45 and 9mm, but I want to get a "show stopper". I will probably post something similar in the revolver section as I plan to do the same with another gun. What suggestions...

I had a misfire yesterday using a sub-sonic ammo out of a Winchester semi. I have shot several boxes of this exact ammo as I use it as my main varmint eradicator around the house. I lined up the shot and got a click rather than a bang. Since this is sub-sonic it normally does not feed well so...

Just one in a box of .32 long cartridges. What exactly is a .43? I've never seen that caliber.

I haven't owned an air gun since I was a teenager other than my trusty Red Rider which is a safe queen now so I have little knowledge of the "new" guns. I am looking to get one that will take squirrels out to 50 yards or so and was wondering if the guns I see at Walmart or other big box...
