Hopefully someone here can straighten me out. The specific question: I've got a Savage 11GL . It's the "hunter series" left-hand version. It came with iron sights and also drilled and tapped for a scope. It's got a front bead sight in a dovetail and an rear open sight that's mounted on the...

In classes and on various forums, everyone says: "don't go clearing your home, that's for the police." I'm completely on board with this plan, my home layout is such that I believe we've got a good defensible spot while the others calls 911. I'm happy to let the bad guy do his thing and leave...

I'm looking for something that's basically a large ottoman that can store long guns. The top lifts up or something. Ideally this locks. I know it's not a safe or a "Residential Security Cabinet", it would be a locking ottoman. I've tried searching for various terms and gotten no where. Any pointers?

I usually shoot an HK USP. In SA mode, I'm a reasonably good shot. In DA, not so much. I just don't practice this enough. Someone at the range was commenting how horrilble the USP trigger is and when I asked him for specifics he shot my gun and commented that the SA mode was "better than...

I've been thinking about a 1911 style pistol for a while now, but I haven't really done much more than think. Over the weekend, I got to handle a couple of Kimbers at a local store, I immediately liked the smaller grip profile (I've got big hands, but a double stack 40S&W grip is pretty wide)...

Yes, this is a n00b question. I've tried some searching and it's still not clear to me. I guess what I'm really looking for is a very detailed description of a proper mount. Questions about finding "the pocket" - Left to right: I see two possible spots to place the butt of the stock. One is...

I'm considering reload, it would be one pistol caliber. Besides being "neat" to do, I want to lower my cost per round. I was thinking I could set aside a "reloading day" and crank out hundreds of rounds over several hours, then use that the rest of the month. Questions: - Assume I'm...

I posted this in the benelliusa forums as well I'm looking at the benelli M2 tactical (10055 or 10027) and I have a few questions: - I see the modular stock system advertised, but I don't see a comfortech stock available in the catalog. If I buy an M2 tactical with non-pistol synthetic...

I've posted before about [thread=189282taking my mom to the range[/thread]. Yesterday, I took a couple of people from work at a local indoor range. It was a bit more awkward, since I'm not close friends with these guys, but I've worked with them enough to think they would take safety seriously...

Just a happy customer. I ordered a case of ammo from them. It shipped quickly. Somewhere along the way, someone dropped the box. It was a bit damaged on the outside and some of the plastic pieces inside the individual 50rnd boxes were busted. Nothing major, just a small problem. Not even...

I'm going thru various ideas for a "nightstand handgun". What do others do? During the day, when I'm out of the house it's locked up. But at night, I want it accesssible. Some things I've considered: - For some reason, leaving the gun just out on the floor/nightstand doesn't feel right. I...

First off, there will be no pictures. I'm a new gunnie. I told her that I was picking up a new handgun last week and she kinda stopped the conversation and it went something like: "Her:Oh. Hmmm. How many do you have?" "Me: 2" "Her: Oh. What do you do with them?" "Me: Well, I'm new at...

Let's assume I clean my gun every time I go to the range. Well, not every time, but when I've gone more than once a week, I'll clean it at the end of the week. How many rounds can I expect out of new semi-auto? I've got a Ruger 22/45 and a H&K USP40. I've had the 22 a little over a month and...

At some point, I decided I didn't like safety levers. The idea was I'd always keep the safety off. I keep the nightstand defender with a full magazine, decocked, nothing in the chamber. I practice this way, my wife practices this way. At the range we charge the magazine, put in the mag well, set...
