    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...

    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...

    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...

    New 10/22 questions

    Hey Everyone, I have a great father in law. He gave me a 10/22 for Christmas. I have a few questions if you have the time. I'm hoping to go to the range on Monday and it'd be nice to take it for a spin. Do I need to clean it before running a few rounds through it or could I shoot it out of...

    Get a Mosin or save for something else?

    So I've only really gotten into guns in the last few years. About the time I was getting into them you could still get Mosins for about $100.00 and I just wasn't too into them. Well that time has passed. The best I can find is a store locally that has some M44's for $250.00 plus tax. I'm...

    Straw purchase? SORRY

    Sorry to ask this sense there is a sticky. For some reason I could only read page one and wasn't able to post in it. Quick question. Had a deputy from GA contact me and say his son (a deputy in my state) was going to buy my handgun and ship it to him. From the straw purchase thread it...

    Selling to someone with an out of state DL?

    In NC the law is they need to be a resident of the state with a NC DL and they need to either have a CC permit or a handgun purchase permit from their local sheriff. Someone contacted me wanting to buy a handgun I have for sale. He said he's in the military and has an Alabama DL. I've never...

    LCP carriers - Hollow Point or Ball?

    I'm getting an LCP very soon and I seem to remember reading at one point that some people just carried target ammo because they didn't think that 380 hollow points wouldn't penetrate enough. I didn't own a 380 pistol at the time and just read it in passing. Anyone heard this... subscribe to...

    Painting a handgun?

    Is it a waste of time to try and paint a polymer handgun or are there products out there that work pretty well? I have a chance to get a handgun at a pretty good price but it's not black and I like to keep things simple and keep my guns black. thoughts?

    You hear a noise in the middle of the night (kids in the house)

    Thankfully we have never had any strange noises in our house that I've had to go check out. But I have wondered what would be the best thing to do. My house has my wife, two kids and myself. If you heard a noise in the living room would you simply check it out or first check on your kids...

    Help me pick out a revolver

    I need some help. I know very little about revolvers. Here's what I "need". Budget: A little north of $350.00 but not much. Purpose: This isn't perfect but I'd like it to fill two purposes. I would like a "pocket pistol" for times I don't want to carry my M&PC (LCP or similar). But I...

    Help me spend $100.00

    First, I’m somewhat newish to shooting. I have an M&P40c and an AR15 chambered in 5.56. At the end of December I bought the M&P from Palmetto State Armory and got $100.00 gift card with it. Now I’m trying to figure out what to do with it. Note: I had another handgun for a few years that I...

    My head is spinning

    I have my permit and I have my new pistol (m&p40c). I'd like to start carrying but there are so many options. I don't have the money to buy holster after holster to find the right one. I'm in analysis to paralysis mode right now. I think I want to go IWB. I'm pretty sure I don't want an...

    Narrowed down next purchase: M&P40C vs. Glock 27/23

    I will be getting a new handgun soon. I'm looking for something that will be a concealed carry gun. I've read, watched videos, gone to stores to hold them, etc. I'm leaning most heavily to the M&P40C. It feels best in my hands. It seems to sit perfectly between the two Glock models as far...

    SW40VE Rusting - how to fix?

    Hello all. I have an SW40VE (one with the black slide). I have only used it a few times and I've always taken time to clean the barrel and lube the rails but haven't done much to the slide. I noticed recently that there is a bit of rust at the cerated area and a few rust specs on top of the...

    Help a "noobie" out - trading ammo for pistol

    I am on the lookout for an M&P40c or a Glock 27 (or 23). I found someone local who has the M&P and is willing to trade ammo for it. I have never made this sort of trade. What is fair? Clearly the gun is used (but in new condition). I assume it's worth what it'll bring in the used market...
