For a while now I have been looking for a "concealment style" holster for my 586. I just couldn't find what I was wanted. So I fired up the toaster oven, grabbed my masking tape, organized my hardware, and made myself one. I used it at an idpa match, and while it is far from my finest work...

First part: What was your first CCW gun and how did you carry it? Second part: what have you done differently since? Then: SIG P239 IWB at 4 o'clock. Galco leather belt. Sometimes a pair of spare mags on the opposite side but usually a reload in the pocket Now: SIG P226 appendix with a...

Okay I've been going back and forth on these for a looooong time. I need to acquire an M1A. I know it's not the absolute best semi 308 on the market but I like them anyway. Is the Fulton armory variety worth the extra money or should I look to a Springfield and upgrade? Thoughts and opinions...

I don't know where it is most appropriate to post this so please move if necessary. I was musing over using airsoft as a safe and fun way to introduce guns to children. The one I have in mind is 8 years old. Thoughts? has anybody done this? Success? And for the record, Pops started us...

Okay so I've been piecing together this 18" upper for over a year now... I'm looking at a 500 yrd-ish gun that will likely double as my Open Division 2 gun rig. I was thinking about an ACOG with an offset red dot but there's so many scopes these days, I thought I'd ask about what else is on...

Okay so I finally watched Episode 1 of season 2 of The Mandalorian. The town "Marshal" character is played by Timothy Olyphant (pretty neat) who has played a gun fighter guy in countless other TV/Movies. I was digging the what the show was putting down, it was good fun... until... there...

It's been a year since the last time I took the trusty M1 to a match. This last weekend I made the trip to the bay and brought my M1 Garand chambered in .308. Couple of (unscientific) observations that stood out this time: 1. The iron sights on this rifle are really quite superb. 2. The...

Okay so a few years ago I won a 17.5" Odin works handguard at a match. Looks like this: https://www.odinworks.com/M_LOK_Forends_p/f-17-ml-ra.htm turns out, I have an 18" barrel and all the fixings to put together an upper. Which is pretty neat for this day and age LOL I started thinking about...

Alright, so @Navy87Guy 's post got shut down and I was being a bit of a horse's rear end in that one... Sorry Navy87guy... I think I get the gist of what you wanted to ask so I'll try to help get the discussion going. So what gun parts do you keep around the house? If you are headed out to...

Work gifted me $50 in gift cards so I snagged a Work Sharp Precision Adjust guided sharpener. Pretty excited to try it out. I have the 3m disc adhesive and some sand paper coming too... Anybody have experience with this thing? details...

Okay so a buddy brought up his 36 cal 1861 yesterday. A uberti steel frame. We were using#11 caps and between 12 and 25 grains of powder with the felt wads. This thing is an absolute hoot! I'm seriously considering a brace of 36 cal 61's. What can THR tell me about them? Should I be looking...

Had an interesting phone conversation with a local combat sports gym. I am interested in learning things like no gi Jiu-Jitsu and Mauy Thai so I called and asked about pricing/schedule etc. Anyway the guy asked me what I was looking to get out of it and I mentioned that I am a firearms...

Some of you may remember this thread: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/close-buddy-is-getting-married-sword.871451/ I went ahead and ordered the cold steel hand and half sword (Italian longsword was sold out) I did my toast and ended it with: "My wife and I decided to get you a...

Yesterday I am waiting for my private lesson to arrive and I am helping a customer interested in buying a gun. He pops out with "I stick to 380 and 9mm because anything bigger, if you end up using it, will land you in jail." I respond: ?????? "sorry, what? how do you figure that?" "Well in...

Alright... A really good buddy (brother from another mother) is getting married. I want to give a kickass toast that ends with me presenting him a sword. Thoughts? opinions? My wife is on the fence, so I figured I'd ask THR LOL Sword in question...

IDK if this thread has been started yet or not. Many of us are home. Lets see some gun pics. Sure, I'll go first:

I host a weekly women's shooting event every Thursday night (going on 5 years!). It's free and we get a lot of new or "I haven't shot a gun in years" folks. It is one of my favorite events to host. Very low key and seeing a very apprehensive person go from "I'm afraid it's going to kick" to "I...

Wear your eye pro every time. This last weekend, I was trying to see if my gunsmith fixed a cycling issue for an M1 Carbine I had him work on. After a few rounds, I got a stoppage. The bolt didn't close all the way, so I gave it a bump with my hand, shouldered the rifle, pressed the trigger...

Alright. This is a long shot but here goes... I am looking for an AR15 charging handle that has a handle like a side charger... but on the right side of the gun. I am a left handed long gun shooter, and my beloved AR45 does not hold open on the last round, so after each reload (on empty) i...

I had a pretty good laugh on this one. I am amazed that this was a CNN host. Link starts the vid at the good part: Make sure to share it around.
