Anybody have any pros or cons with this ammo? I was browsing around the LGS and noticed this stuff was comparable in price to the other defensive ammo but instead of a 20-25rd box it came in a 50rd box for 25$. I have been looking for a defense ammo that doesn't break the bank. So I can do more...

How much defensive ammo do you run through your CCW gun before you feel comfortable carrying it? Seems like this could be a expensive endeavor With most high quality defensive ammo being in the range of 1$ per. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I seem to be seeing a lot of references to the FBIs testing for 9mm when talking about the new military sidearm choice. But isn't a big reasoning behind the FBI's choice due to the advancements in ammunition? Isn't this fact irrelevant for the military because they are going to limited to using...

Only answer if you feel comfortable sharing information. What weapons do you keep in the home for protection? Where do you keep them? What is their intended purpose? What other means of home protection do you have? (Alarm systems, dogs, ect) I'll share first and would love to hear critics and...

Reading some other threads got me thinking, can you draw and engage with your weak hand with your normal CCW? It seems if a would be attacker was to catch you off guard they would most likely go for your perceived strong arm first (most people right side). I've thought of this at work so I have...

After selling my Ruger 89DC for a good price the itch was to replace it with another 9mm. I wanted something with atleast 15+1 capacity but also be able to CCW occasionally. Almost pulled the trigger on a CZ p07 but was turned off by the availability/price of magazines. Also with my recent...

I'll start by saying my only current handguns are a 3" sp101 357 and a Ruger p89. I'm about to free up some fun money by selling a gun that is just not for me (Ruger P89). Debating on what handgun to replace it with. I would love a 5-6" Ruger Gp100 357. Would be my first attempt into handgun...

I'm talking strict range use and practice sessions, I understand the possible failures that will ensue when using cheap steel case ammo. I can get a 1000rd case of Tula steel case for 159$, and that's a lot of practice for not a lot of money. The firearms I'll be using will be a Ruger p89 and a...

Picking up a Ruger P89 tomorrow in a trade. Trading away my Ruger LCR that has become obsolete since I got my Ruger SP101. Anything I should know about these guns? Parts to check for wear? Part/springs I should replace. I understand these guns are big and clunky but I'm hoping it should fill the...

Looking for a ideal bullet for maximum damage on groundhogs from my Ruger SP101. I will be reloading. I would like to be able to recover the groundhogs after shooting so that means stopping them dead in their tracks. Is there a bullet out there that will give me maximum expansion when shooting...

Headed to cabelas in a few days to search out some reloading components for 38 special and 357 mag. Looking to hopefully use one powder for all loads (probably not possible I know). I want a magnum load to use for my woods walk around load, and a 38 load for plinking and punching paper. All...

When I'm groundhog/coyote hunting around the farms I usually have either my savage 25/06, 18" AR, or my ruger 10/22. But I always have my Ruger Sp101 357mag 3" on me and lately I have had a interest in trying to take some ground hogs with it. Mostly for fun and also some extra practice. So far...

I'm currently reloading 75gr bthp Hornady for my 18" 1-7 twist ar and would like to tailor a load with a more varmint oriented bullet. I would like to stay at 70gr+ so I can continue to use reloader 15 powder and higher BC values. I have a stock of reloader 15 that use for my 25-06 75gr varmint...

In recent weeks I have been doing my walk around groundhog hunting with my home defense Ar 15. The rifle is mid length sporting a MAtech rear sight and truglo TFO fiber optic night. I know this doesn't exactly have the appeal for a varmint hunting gun but I was just testing the waters on whether...

A buddy of mine is having problems with his new S&W ar15 having FTF issues. He claims after shooting about 3-4 rounds it jams. Claims it happens with all three of his polymer mags. He is going to be dropping it off to me to check things out since I'm the only one in our group of friends that has...

Does anybody have any experience with buying these generic muzzle devices from eBay. It appears they are all coming out of a shop tri optic arms in California. I'm guessing imports from Asia. They offer all different types of designs and would allow me to try different designs without spending...

I've been doing some research on pinned suppressors to short barrels for ARs and am not having much luck finding options. A pinned 6" suppressor on a 10.2" ar would have an overall length of over 16 inches and in turn allow you to only have one tax stamp for a suppressed SBR. I've also heard...

I've been looking into building a "varmint AR" recently and have noticed almost every time the word "varmint" is associated with any rifle a bull barrel is involved whether it be a bolt action or AR alike. I understand the bull barrel has some benefits with heat dispersal when burning through a...

Just for fun I thought I would start this thread. Everyone list all their personal firearms that have never shown any malfunction (FTF, FTE, misfire and so on). I do understand that many failures are caused by faulty ammo and faulty mags but for the purpose if this thread let's keep it to...

So I'm in the process of building a Varmint AR from parts. I already own a 16" at that I use as a beside gun (has iron sights). I wondering once i get my new build finished ( will be build with budget parts) will it be worth it to try testing it with both Bcgs for accuracy? Any other parts...
