Hello, I am thinking my next firearms related purchase would be money better spent on training rather than another pew pew (crazy, I know). I am getting reacquainted to competitive handgun shooting after a year long military deployment and also a CCW practitioner, so I am just looking for...

Let me say right up front that I realize this may yield at least one opinion per respondent, or more. My frustration shopping for a new safe got me here after many, many hours of research and consideration, and I am curious what you all think. I don't have a huge or expensive firearm collection...

I am active duty military spending a year away from home. I bought a SIRT with the intention to train while away and come back to my new G34 ready to take on IDPA/IPSC/Whatever. That was the plan, at least. My wife shipped it to me in a box via USPS, labeled "Laser trainer", and the package...

I have a Sig P320 Compact and love it. But, I would like something G34-like for IDPA SSP use with a longer sight radius. I will get the G34 if need to, but the recently announced P320 Target seems tailor fit for such competition. And, the modular trigger is awesome for not needing two guns...

I'd had my eye on a plastic fantastic 9mm for some time and I had boiled it down to the Glock 19, the M&P9 Pro and the P320. I am a 9mm fan, but shot primarily through a CZ-75 and recently a Kahr CM9. But, the high capacity but lighter & smaller than the CZ offerings were calling to me...

I just bought a new Ruger LCR, and I am trying to remove the cylinder. I've gone through two T10 Torx screwdrivers trying to remove this right-hand thread screw--never gotten it to budge the slightest. In each case, the tips of the screwdriver tore off without loosening the screw. According...

I live on a military base where loading and unloading must be done off the installation, and I am looking at the LCR for CCW. I don't want to be juggling loose rounds in the car just after driving out the gate, or just before driving on. So, I found a couple places (Clark & TK Custom)that can...

Hello fellow New Mexicans! I am going to be in Albuquerque later this week and was looking for the best gun store to go and visit. Please PM, email, or post your favorite gun stores in that area. Thanks! Mark

Like many of you, I've seen almost endless postings about "what grease/oil is best for my pistol". I don't mean to start another one of those. Instead, what I'd be curious to see is what you actually USE in your pistols, and which product has the largest following. That's not necessarily an...

I had drifted the stock sights on my CZ 75BD one too many times, and the rear sight came loose. Rather than just have is staked down, I saw new a new Fiber Optic sight set from Precision Sights International (http://www.precisionsights.com/) that looked interesting for about $89. The order was...

Does anyone have the length, width, height and capacity of a Colt Pocket Nine? Is the trigger a double action, or single? I searched in THR and around the web--no dice. Any other info about this gun? Thanks in advance!

Are we a growing community with lots of young shooters, or mostly older and contracting in size, or any variation in between/not mentioned? DISCLAIMER: This is not scientific, and probably biased by the computer medium used. Just curious what the results say online ...

I recently bought a Safariland 560 holster and Fobus double mag pouches from this company. The holster arrived a week later--no mag pouches. The included reciept showed them back ordered, but showed the incorrect type back ordered (Glock versus universal 9mm, and the CopsPlus and Fobus...

Okay, okay, some of you may be offended with their adds. PLEASE don't count me in that group--what fantastic pictures they are. The last couple adds mentioned posters available, but I either cannot type their website URL in correctly or the site is down. Anyone know?

I am in my 30's, and looking at trying hunting for the first time. I live in NM, and I am going to put in for the once-in-a-lifetime Oryx tags. I've been shooting handguns and competition rifle (22LR) since I was a kid--grew up around guns and shooting competitions. As a kid, I did not want...

I've searched the archives, and I've not seen any reference to a specific powder for a Corbon-like load. I am looking to use either 9mm 124-gr or 115-gr Hornady XTP bullets with new Starline brass. Has anyone worked up a similar load? What powder did you use, and at what weight? Thanks!

I just used my Franklin Arsenal "Vibra Prime" for my Dillon SDB for the first time. I bought it from Natchez during their recent sale for $24.99. I had to read the directions carefully to get everything lined up as it should be. But, once done, it was AMAZING to watch how quickly the...

So, if you had to send one persuasive book to someone to educate them as to the realities of 2nd Amendment rights and gun issues in general--not the CNN/Media hype--what would that one book or info source be? I have a couple stereotypical Democratic family members who have these "guns are...

Okay, I did not get DQ'd or anything. My mistake was more equipment related. I had shot in "Action Shoots" before, and I was able to use my CZ 75 hicap magazines at their full capacity. In fact, I shot the whole last shoot with one 10rnd and 15 rnd magazine each. So, I show up with three...

I do it anyway, and I usually throw out a case or two for wear and such, but today was a little different. These 9mm cases were fired from a semi-hot loading--not max--but close. In fact, one shot in particular that day seemed abnormal, and now I am wondering if it was the case on the left...
