Based on what this guy has been saying he's confident this will be on every new gun sold.... Thoughts?

I recently started trap shooting and love it. And for once,think it's something gun-related my girlfriend would like too. I have a Mossberg 500A 12ga with I think a 26" barrel. With a 2.75" shell loaded with 1oz of #7, it kicks about the same as my Mosin 91/30, which I know is too much for her...

I have the opportunity to have a custom 1911 made for carry at a price under $2000. This gun would be my EDC and a frequently used range gun. I feel like I understand the value of a custom 1911 in the fact that it is built to my spec (full sized frame, 4.25" barrel, bobtail, 3.5# trigger...

Well, I guess it's about time to start researching carry 1911s... About me: I live in Massachusetts. Yes, living here does suck as much as everyone think it does. Case in point: if I buy a handgun from an FFL, it MUST be one of the handguns on THIS LIST. Either that, or (this is...

I plan on attending the oral arguments of McDonald v. Chicago at the Supreme Court. They start at 10, so I was wondering what time I should be there to get in line. Will this be a more of a monumental case in the public's eyes, or is it simply "the incorporation of the Second Amendment," in...

I am a Freshman at a school in Baltimore, MD ("The Greatest City in the World"), where I live on campus. Today on the way back from the airport on a small city train (the "Light Rail" if anyone knows B-more), I had an encounter that could have ended very badly. Long story short I lost a $5...

I recently took a friend to the range for the first time. We had a Marlin 780 and a scoped Ruger 10/22. I noticed she had a lot of trouble using the iron sights on the 780, so I switched her to the scoped rifle and she shot it just fine. Then I noticed she was sighting from her left eye, and...

Well, when JMB originally invented his handgun, known as the 1910, it did not have a thumb safety, only the grip safety. The military then told him it was too dangerous to carry, and he then installed a thumb safety on his new 1911. Still, soldiers were told to carry their firearms with the...

I have a 5" Para 1911 that I've been shooting. I'm a righty. Every time I shoot it, I'm always off a few inches to the left at about 50 feet. I've tried correcting my trigger finger, squeezing my right hand harder, but I'm still off to the left. Everyone else that shoots it is off to the left as...

Hey THR, Well, the family got a Para 1911 for Christmas. I love it and everything (except I'm off to the left, but anyway...). I've cleaned it twice with Gun Scrubber and a soft bristle toothbrush (gently, too :) ). The last time I cleaned it, I started to brush some blueing off the slide...

...somehow came to today, saw all the different types of guns available now, and decided that they did not want high-cap semi-auto handguns, and "assualt weapons," for example, in society today, and called for a ban. What would you do? Would you respect their stance and try to remove them from...

Hey guys, We came across a Springfield full size 1911 at a gun show the other day. I don't know the exact model. It had rubber grips and the frame was a different color than the slide (although both were silver or a titanium color. Pretty cool). It came with 3 magazines and a case for...

My parents gave me a Mosin for my birthday on the 8th. It's nothing special (1943 M91/30 Izhevsk round receiver, a couple parts force-matched) but it's in great condition and the model is fun to shoot. I did have some questions. There is some cosmo left in the gun, and the barrel needs...

I just got back from Bass Pro Shop's Outdoor World in Dania (near Ft. Lauderdale). All I can say is holy smokes! The place itself it huge (I think it has a horizon; you cant see the other side, 160,000 square feet), but the firearm section was truly amazing. They had HUNDREDS of guns on the...

Well, the rifle range at our club was (hopefully only) temporarily shut down because they build a golf course downrange... so the family isn't planning on buying any rifles until it is sorted out. So I figured, why not pass the time by building a rifle instead of just buying a Remington 700...

Hey guys, We need a new gun. We went to the club today and found out the rifle range is CLOSED until further notice (golf course near by, you know, the usual Massachusetts Liberals). Anyway, since it looks like it might be awhile until I can shoot my baby (the AR), I guess I am looking...

Hey guys, In case you guys don't know (or forgot:confused: ), I'm on my high school newspaper and have done some pro-gun columns before. I just finished whipping up this column that I sent to the Boston Globe. I doubt it will get published, but whatever. Tell me what you think. Go easy, I'm...

Does anyone have one of the 1911's made by Smith/Wesson? I looked at one the other day, and I'm in love. For those that have one, what do you think of it?

For you 10/22 owners... do you like the stock iron sights? I went out and put a couple of mags through mine today. Standing, I could barely keep a 2 inch group at 50 feet! I was all over the place. I think the sights were the reason (or I just suck). If it is the sights, did anyone upgrade...

First, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on catching a flame grom a firing gun on film. If it matters, I have a Canon EOS 650 (working on snagging an EOS XTi DSLR :rolleyes: ). Any tips, shutter speed/aperture combos, examples would be GREATLY...
