Without getting into a caliber war since I am already convinced 9mm is the best mm, I have picked up a couple more 40s to add to my 226. They seem to run a good $50-$100 less than the 9 models these days. Since I am mostly a hobby shooter, I enjoy firing a variety and I started with 40 several...

I know some swear that their 1990 Leopold has crystal clear glass, excellent light transmission, and perfect tracking but how much better has optics tech/manufacturing gotten over the last 20+ (or 50) years? I think several optics manufacturers/distributors are making scopes in the mid-lower...

I was organizing the safe a bit and realized that I have 11 rifles with optics and 3 without. This is excluding C&R stuff of course. Actually, the 3 without are .22s (Henry, CZ452fs, Marlin 795LTR). I have put optics on all my centerfire rifles. I guess the SAR1 usually goes without the...

EVERYONE seems to hate standard A2 AR grips yet they continue to be the standard in the commercial AR market. Wouldn't it make sense for rifle manufacturers to include a MIAD, Ergo or at least Hogue instead? Switching this grip would then allow the buyer to resell the original as there would...

This will be the first time I put a scope on a handgun and I have this 629: http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=11101&storeId=10001&productId=14805&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=15714&isFirearm=Y and this scope...

Where and how do you store your HD shotgun? I have my SLP and 500 in the safe and was thinking, the whole reason I have them is for a close range emergency such as HD. Do you put them in the safe when you leave and then take them out every night? Currently I only keep 2 guns outside the...

Are there any modern offerings for this yet? The only guns I know of are the PPSh variety and don't even know if a semi version is available. It seems to me that the cartridge is better suited to carbine than 9mm or .40 and I can still afford to shoot it. An M1 carbine would be nice or even...

I didn't get to shoot much at all but it was nice outside. My sister was the first of the 3 to try the Nagant. The boys got the courage after seeing her smile and shoot it again. My nephew is seen here smacking the bolt of the MN after I told him not to baby it. Most of the work was with the...

It seems everyone is under the assumption that the AR/AK type rifles will continue to gain value with current Dem majority. However, it seems more likely now that the anti-gun crowd has started playing the ammo shortage game and will probably find more success in the future. Let's say 5...

OK, it's late and I'm bored so....I'm relatively new to optics since I've always just kinda "shot with what I got" and recently started to buy some mid-range scopes. I have a Nikon TeamPrimo/Monarch on the way after reading a few threads here. So now I think I might actually try to switch a...

and I don't think it possibly could have gone any more smoothly. Nice job Travis County Sheriff. I was driving home late (1/2 hour ago) and decided to go ahead and take a turn lane to get around a street sweeper doing 30 in a 50. No other cars around and clear vision for good 1/4 mile so I...

I love shooting my M2 on my AR and was thinking of picking up another (probably ML3) and putting one on the DSA Stg58. I will get the DSA mount and am wondering if anyone else here has an Aimpoint/FAL and likes the set-up. The abuse sitting right over the 308 will be much worse than the 223...

I was getting interested in the CZ550FS and thought it would be neat to have it in a historic/european caliber. I think 7.92x57 would be great since I have a bunch of surplus that I could shoot with (I know it wouldn't be super accurate but this isn't a 500+ yard sniper set-up). I could buy...

Don't be embarrassed, just tell us how it went down. These things happen so remember the 3 rules: 1.gun pointed in safe direction 2.keep the finger off the trigger 3.don't party with gun in night club...

At the risk of starting another "SHTF" discussion, has anyone actually come up with a stored/don't shoot round count as fxn of their income/monetary savings? Obviously this would also have to take into account what chances one gives there of even being a SHTF and how bad it is expected to be...

Well, not really. I tried out my new Kadet adapter and I don't think I'll be switching it back any time soon. I brought the 9mm slide and it just sat on the bench the whole time. The Kadet kicks ***. I shot a G26, M&P9, and USP9 so I had no reason to switch the 75 back when the Kadet was so...

Always lived in a safer part of town, but definitely feel better now. I waited until I was in a house and knew I wouldn't have to move it once a year. I wanted the Sturdy or even Amsec, but this will have to do for now - $1400 delivered seemed to be the most economical yet still decent RSC...

I like shooting both pistols about equally so no "whichever you shoot more" responses. Does one conversion work better than the other - more reliable, sturdy, or accurate? They are both about $300 unless someone has a lead on a better price. Reliability with bulk .22 ammo is the most...

I just noticed that the VC sniper girl in the end is using a CZ VZ58 and not an AK (barrel profile, charging handle, safety, angle of stock). Maybe old news to most of you - is that at all historically accurate? I wouldn't think any CZs were in Vietnam. I noticed while watching the movie and...

I overheard a conversation from an out-of-towner while at work yesterday and, while mostly just amusing at the time, it kind of bugs me now. She was telling her friends about how funny she thought it was that she went to a bar in TX and saw a sign for no firearms. "Only in TX" she repeated...
