    Ive had my G23 for a few years now. I've put 5k and some change through it. My question is when is a good time to start changing parts? Extractor, springs etc?

    Smith & Wesson M&P or XD 9?

    For plinking and HD?? Pros and Cons. Only ONE thing i look for in a gun, RELIABILITY, ergonomic is the last thing on my mind, pull the trigger and it goes bang is my concern. XD has been around for a while now, not that long but its getting a real good feedback. I dont know much about the M&P.

    About 1911s and their "upgrades"

    Are the upgrades a "must" in order for them to work or is it something someone preffers? What are the most common changes/upgrades people do on 1911s? If say, you get a standard SA 1911 or a RIA what's the first thing youd change beside the sights and trigger work? The trigger work is it because...

    Pistol carbines for HD?

    Anyone own one? Would they be a good HD weapon? What's the advantage of owning a pistol-carbine? Reason i ask this is because i've been reading and hearing around that the AR/223 is the best way to go as far as home defense.. i'm confused now. The other day on the Personal Defense show they...

    Anyone watch The Shooting Gallery, Personal Defense, Guns & Ammo TV?

    Is it me or do they need to provide more information on some of the things that are discussed on some of their shows. The other week on Shooting gallery the discussion was about ammo.. they didn't mention or suggest the type of grain to use or what they were using.

    1. Is it safe to use slugs on an 18" 870 Express? 2. I'm not happy with the pattern on my express. I tried using three different brands and it all shot pretty wide at about 10 yrds. I was watching the outdoor chan the other night and topic was shotguns and this guys shots patterned very tight...

    Need input on next choice of gun..

    I finally decided to buy a 45acp, but a loaded 1911 is way off my price range so i decided to get something practical. I know.. i know, why not get a GI. Well, from what i heard, you need to take it to a gunsmith to make some changes. I narrowed it down to 2.. an XD-45 or the Ruger P345. I...
