    ATI GSG 1911 22lr?

    I have my 10/22 up on armslist. I'm really just looking to sell, but I got an offer to trade for an ATI GSG 1911 22lr with two mags. I know nothing about these. I eventually want a 22LR pistol, but I was thinking of an SR-22 or an M&P 22 just because I've shot them before and like them. Is...

    Teacher ND in high school gun safety class

    I hear this line of thinking every now and then and I don't understand it. I would love to be able to shoot half as well as Hickok45 and he was a public school teacher. I would assume he'd be pretty competent with a gun. And he's not the only teacher around the country that is into firearms...

    Going to build a 80% Glock

    @GunnyUSMC thanks for those pics. They're very helpful. I might put one on my Christmas wish list. I have small hands, so I wish the grip was smaller... but getting rid of the finger groves and the hump might be enough to make it comfortable. Those two things were the biggies that I didn't...

    9mm Shield

    I don't know if it's just mine, but my Shield has a very stiff recoil spring. I'm a bit weaker than I was a few years ago because of medical issues but I can easily lock the slides back on my M&P compact and my wife's G26. I struggle to lock the slide back on the Shield. And loading the...

    Red Dot for daughter's AR

    Here's the quick of things. My daughter and I just finished building her an AR. I had most of the parts laying around and the rest were budget parts. This isn't a high end rifle. It's chambered in 5.56 with a 1/9 twist, but she prefers using my conversion kit to shoot 22LR. I already had...

    Going to build a 80% Glock

    @GunnyUSMC sorry if you addressed this and I didn't see it, but I have a question about the grip. I enjoy building things so this interests me. But I'm not a fan of Glocks because they feel awful in my hand. I wanted to like Glocks when I was looking for a CC gun and ended up going with an...

    M&P 2.0 Holster choice

    I like bravo concealment holsters. And they have a 30 day money back guarantee so you can try it out and see if you like it. You don't, send it back and it doesn't cost you a thing. On a side note: Is this your first M&P? I have the first gen compact and really like it. Seems like the...

    Forms of Id to buy a shotgun?

    I understand your apprehension. I have had the same in the past. You can usually tell if someone is on the up and up by asking certain questions and maybe asking for a few more pictures. Another thing you can do is contact your local law enforcement and ask them if they mind if you do the...

    Possibly another M&P recall. Anyone hear of it yet?

    Haven't heard anything. Is this specific to the 2.0's?

    NRA Membership Card...

    I have never received a membership card. I even called and told them I needed because I was joining a range. They said they would send me one but in the meantime I could go online and print one out. I did that and waited. Good thing I could print one out. I've been a life member for 3-4...

    Bypassing North Carolina CHL Course Requirements

    @Evergreen as a NC resident I would agree that I wish we had better laws. But I've never "felt" oppressed. I got my CHL simply because I think the law we have of getting approval from your local sheriff every time you want to buy a handgun is ridiculous. There's legislation that is going...

    AR-15 ... finding zero ... 22LR conversion kit

    Alright. Let's take the 22LR out of my question for a second. If I'm understanding things I will get my rifle to mechanical zero at 25 yards. Then that should have me zeroed in at 300 yards. So what do you do if you want to shoot at 100 yards? Is it all just where you hold? I assumed you...

    AR-15 ... finding zero ... 22LR conversion kit

    I'm not sure this is the right area... and I'm not even sure exactly how to write my question so please be patient with me. I have an AR-15 in the A2 configuration. I picked it up used and have never really known how to sight it in? So first of all, can someone direct me to a reliable source...

    Truth About NICS Checks

    Yes. But then there's people like me who got their CHL to make buying guns easier. Not just NICS, in NC you have to get a purchase permit from the local sheriff for every handgun you buy (retail or private seller). But with a CHL that isn't needed. Since getting my CHL I've bought 7 or 8...

    Missing upper receiver via USPS

    Let's say the story is true. Are they even allowed to open you car door... regardless of putting anything in it or not? If they opened your front door to put the package in your house that wouldn't be acceptable. Sorry man. $600.00 is a lot of money to be out. I hope you get this resolved...

    Taking one of my children shooting

    Hey Guys, Sorry for just now replying. We actually weren't able to go when I posted this because my daughter ended up not feeling too well. We rescheduled for the next week and the day we were going to go I wasn't feeling too well. We were finally able to go this past Thursday. I want to...

    S&W Shield -- 9 mm or 40 cal?

    i recently picked up a shield and had the same dilemma. Difference is my current gun is an M&P40c. I like 40 and shoot it just fine. I thought about getting the 40 shield and then getting a 9mm barrel. I decided to go 9mm for two reasons. First, there's one extra round. Second, my wife has...

    Taking one of my children shooting

    Gonna be taking my oldest daughter to the range for the first time later today. We're going to just be shooting a 10/22. Some of y'all have already been here. Any advice to make this the best experience possible?

    Rebate alert! $75 S+W Shield, $50 Bodyguard

    Unless I'm looking at the wrong place, that doesn't seem to be the price anymore.
