Thanks for the responses everyone! I really do appreciate it. After reading through everyone's advice and doing an extensive amount of research, I've decided to skip the Kahr this go around (as most reviews were 50/50 everywhere I looked) and instead went with the S&W M&P Shield and traded a...

Trying to decide on purchasing a Kahr CM9 for EDC. I'm currently a Glock guy and carry a G27, so I'm a little ambivalent about making the jump. Anyone have any experience with the CM9? I'm most worried about reliability issues. Thanks!

Hi everyone, this situation is half about legalities and half about safety, so I was really unsure as to which section this should be under; so if its incorrect I apologize. Anyway, I'm a college student and a few nights ago my friend reported to me that he and his roommate were the victims of a...

Woah guys, lots of info here; I like it! And just to clarify everyone's concerns: I am NOT living on campus. I live in an apartment off-campus; they just tailor to University students. I'm digging "The Back Up" product that was suggest by BMW2. My bed sits higher off the ground and is pushed up...

Well I use and shoot a Glock 30 that I bought and it will be handed over to me when I turn 21 for concealed carry, but for now my parents own it/possess it; and even if it is true that I could've had the gun at 18, that isn't going to fly with my parents anyways, sorry. The shotgun is just...

No, just a small closet. And there's not much room for an extra cabinet or anything like that since there are pre-installed shelves in it

Hey folks. I just started my sophomore year of college and I'm living in my own apartment. As of now I'm only 20 years old and thus cannot buy/possess/carry a handgun (unfortunately) in the state of Alabama. However, I still would like to keep my home and myself protected with a firearm. The...

When we moved into our home about 11 years ago, there was a pre-existing ADT system already here. I remember one day I dropped a plastic cup and it triggered the alarm. However, several months after we moved in a technician updated our system, and several weeks ago our house was pretty much...

Hi guys! I picked up my new Glock 30 today at Gander Mtn., and I must say I love it already. I just have a question that came to me as I was reading the manual and trying to field strip the weapon and the such. It's about the barrel. Is it normal for the barrel/breech to be somewhat loose when...

I own a S&W PPK/S that was my first handgun, and I must say I hate it :fire: . It's been the same reoccuring problem ever since I first fired it. Within the first week, it had to be sent back to S&W because it wouldn't fire in DA mode. No problem, sent it back, got it and the same problem on the...

Personally, I think a lot of people get too dependent on manual external safeties. I was always told that a gun is loaded no matter what. And that just like any other mechanical device, the manual safety on any weapon can fail. The trick is to always treat it as if it were loaded, and as if it...

Hi everyone! I'm investing in a new autoloader, and I've decided to join the Glock revolution. I think I will like the sub-compact versions more, because of my small hands. Right now I'm torn between the Glock 30 and the Glock 27. I really don't know which one will be better. What do you...

Hi everyone! :) I recently inherited an S&W model 12 .38 special Air Weight that belonged to my great grandfather. I'm sort of new to old firearms, so I just had a couple of questions if anybody can help me out. Ok, I probably won't fire this revolver a whole lot, because of the...

Same with my S&W ppk/s (been sent back 3 times)

What's wrong with a picture of your collection? It's not like anyone posted a full name, address, and zip code so people could come get them.

My arsenal...hey, it's a start! -Mossberg 500A 12 GA pump -Winchester 1400 semi 12 GA -An oldie...Remington .22 short long rifle. Model number is worn, anyone have any info on this one? -Marlin arms Glenfield mod 75 .22lr with Tasco scope -S&W ppk/s .380 semi-auto handgun...

Yes, that is true. The only thing I could say about a non-compliant intruder is if he's just standing there in your living room, you have no reason to shoot him whatsoever, other than the fact that he's in your house and shouldn't be. That being said, if he's standing there and you have him at...

I was discussing this situation with some family members earlier today, and I have to say I agree with them. Suppose you see the bad dude point a gun at the cashier. A self-defense weapon is simply that, a self defense weapon. Which means you (or it could be a family member I suppose) are in...

I own an S&W ppk/s in stainless, .380 auto. It's a great gun and fun to shoot, although I have been having some trouble with it, but from what I've learned here, it's really rare to have the problems I'm having. Altogether, a well manufactured weapon. I'd also say go with the .380 for self...

Of course pistol rounds can penetrate a wall, most modern homes are only made out of wood beams and a layer of sheetrock, I'd think a BB gun could almost penetrate that (Yea, I've tried with sheet rock scraps), but you'd have to assess your situation. You might live in a heavily populated...
