    Shooting objects on the ground

    Where I shoot, we often place our targets low to the ground since the backstop is fairly low. Doesnt cause any problems with the rifles but I have trouble staying accurate with my 9mm (Sig P226). Most of my shots are taken standing or kneeling but the target is always lower than my gun. Any...

    30 rounder for Rem 597

    So I just found 30 round magazines available for the Remington 597 .22LR. I have this rifle and will be picking up one of these mags in the near future. Any one else get one yet? Im curious as to how well they work with the 597, as Ive never seen anything over 10 rounds for these before.

    Proper handgun grip

    Got a Sig 226 9mm and have been thinking about how to be more accurate, wondering if my grip might be holding me back. Are there any photos that show good grip technique or what other ways could i increase accuracy? I'm thinking that I have a target sighted in well, but then I am off when...

    870 wingmaster price

    what kind of prices are you guys seeing these go for? Particularly used models in good functioning condition (cosmetics not a huge factor for me). I havent been able to find any locally yet.

    Gov't firearm selection

    Any one familiar with how the govt agencies, armed forces, police, etc. select which firearms and makers to use for duty? Ive heard different thoughts saying it comes down to who contracts the lowest offer but there's gotta be more to it than that. What goes into the choice of caliber, arms...

    ? for 870 experts, which variant...

    So i have made my choice to pick up a Rem 870 as my first shotgun (have fired many, but not owned). I only want to spend around 300 for the gun alone (add on accessories and ammo, etc.) so Ive looked at the wal-mart site, there prices are good and there are a lot of slight differences in the...

    Options for recoating/bluing?

    What options are out there for refinishing an originally blued handgun? It'd be nice to do a durable finish like Tennifer or something but can this be esaily done to a regular steel or alloy frame pistol that came factory blued? If so, any experiences, suggested finshes, places to get it done...

    Cleaning after shooting corrosive ammo

    What would be the proper technique for cleaning a rifle (AK in this case) after shooting corrosive? I've heard using Windex does the job but should be used when? After the regular nitro cleaner is used? And should the barrel be run with a dry patch after or do you leave it in like gun oil...

    Shortage of Wolf ammo

    This has been on here before but just heard from the gun shop why...Apparently Wolf has been given the contract to produce 7.62 ammo for the Iraq effort and is concentrating on meeting that fulfillment before shipping back here to the States. So there is no approximation of when we will get...

    Buying from CDNN, yes or no

    Found what seem to be some killer deals on the CDNNsports website. Mainly interested in the price on new USPs (less than most people/shops are selling their used) and they had some used SIGs on there. Wondering if CDNN is a good source to buy from, and how they pull off these prices-are there...

    Non resident purchase (within U.S)

    If you live in one state but have an out of state drivers license (i.e. recent relocation, college students, etc.) then you are unable to purchase firearms without an instate license in certain states-such as many Rocky Mountain states. This happened to me that is how I learned of this info. I...

    What do you think of the Sig P228

    Have heard a lot of good things about this, like to hear from actual owners as far as what they think and how it compares to other 9mm.

    Anyone use "shot shells" in their pistol or .22 rifle?

    These come in a case of usually 20 rounds, regular looking round with capsule of very small shot for the bullet. Some refer to as snake shot. Wondering if any one has used this and with what results. Also just curious as to how it performs, sound level, and any detriment to the gun/barrel by...

    4 or 5" XD

    Should be getting a new XD soon, wondering if I should go with the 5" tactical or the 4" compact. This will not be a carry gun, mostly range/fun gun. Looking for accuracy and ease of shooting, so seems like the 5 is the way to go. But would like opinions on those who own or have...

    M3 streamlight or XML

    For Springfield XD, any reason to get one over the other? M3 is a bit larger and probably heavier (haven't found exact specs) but looks like it has more light. I have only compared the two in a well-lit store and not fitted to the gun. They are the same price there $100 (M3 is discounted) but...

    Best triggers for recreational shooting?

    Like to know what you guys think makes for a great shooting trigger on a "fun gun", mainly used for target/plinking/whatever, not a dedicated carry or defense weapon. Seems to me an SA with a light pull would be the most accurate/repeatable shooter. Any experience with the HK system, including...

    Good shop price for a used XD?

    What have people been paying for used Springfield XDs? I saw a 4" XD-40 in black for $385 at a local shop. In very good condition, supposedly less than 200 rounds thru it. Original owner ran short on cash. This same store sold the same gun new for $485. Only neg was that it had the older 10...
