A big thanks to Derek and the mods for allowing us to post this. In my opinion THR is the standard by which all other forums are judged :) The purpose of this thread is to let everyone know about a new community we're building for gun owners of Arizona, Nevada, and Utah --...

My girlfriend and I have decided we're going to move to either Phoenix or Las Vegas sometime after our current lease is up in February. I know most people despise both of these cities, but I love Phoenix (I've visited a few times) and she feels the same about Vegas (she lived there for a year)...

I wanted to post a quick thread to let everyone know about a site we're launching for firearm enthusiasts of the Southwestern US, SouthwestFirearms.com. After having great success with NorthwestFirearms.com and with myself considering a move to Arizona for a while, I wanted to create the same...

I've finally saved up enough to purchase a Dan Wesson CCO that I've been drooling over since it was released. Now that I'm about to spend $1300 on a 1911, I'm doing my research to make sure I get the best value for my money. Before I heard about Fusion Firearms I knew I was making the right...

In an effort to save money, I called my AAA insurance agent today to see how much money I'd save on by switching from State Farm renters insurance (which I shopped for and purchased independently) to Travelers (who I have my auto insurance with, purchased through AAA). I was telling them about...

I'd really like to get a Dan Wesson CBOB for my everyday carry gun, but next in line is a Colt Lightweight Commander. The only thing I'm concerned with is the weight difference, with the CBOB being 34oz. and the Colt being 27oz. Hoping some of you can comment on how noticeable the extra 7oz...

Hello everyone, I’m Joey Link. A little over a year ago I founded NorthwestFirearms.com, a local online community for firearm enthusiasts of the Northwest. We’ve been working tirelessly to build our website in order to achieve our main goal: to better organize firearm owners in our area against...

For those who don't like to read books, feel free to skip past the backstory to the questions :D ============ OPTIONAL BACKSTORY ================= My girlfriend has always been in love with my near-mint 1990 9mm West German P226. Although it's WAY too big for her hands (she's around 5'4...

I've been racking my brain for the past few days thinking of a good gun that fits Jenny's hand that she can shoot comfortably on a regular basis, and possibly also carry. This gun would be funded with the sale of my West German P226, which she loves but can't hold properly (though that doesn't...

I always hear about how violent the UK is due to their restriction of firearm ownership, but I'd like to see the report(s) that show this compared to the US. I tried searching, but can't seem to find them. Can someone help me out?

Here was my original issue: So I got it back from the factory today and the test target (shot after they replaced the barrel) looks like: Now, I understand that it was at 25 yards, but shouldn't it be shooting groups closer to the center of the target? What would cause the group to be...

Here was my original post, which I posted on a 1911 specific website. Springfield called today to tell me my gun was done and would be shipped back tomorrow. The woman also told me they replaced the front sight and the barrel, but couldn't elaborate further. I'm curious, what do you guys...

I'm in the market for a tactical beverage entry tool and I'm leaning toward the LaRue model LT-205. Before I place the order for what may be one of the most important tools in my arsenal, I need some feedback from the professionals. How durable are these things? How's the fit and finish and does...

I recently got an excellent deal on a 14.5" Colt M4 SOCOM upper, one of the ones that goes for $1200+ when you can find them. For the price of just this upper I could have got a complete AR, but I figured I'd do it right the first time and hopefully it'll last me. "Cry once", as they say, right...

I'm purchasing a complete Colt SOCOM 14.5" upper tomorrow and I don't want to go through the NFA stuff, so I'm going to have to have a flash suppressor permanently attached. I've been reading quite a bit and it seems to come down to either a Vortex or a Phantom, but I'd like some opinions on...

I'm looking to buy one of these setups and I'd like to know the pro's and con's of each of them. Either way I'll be looking for a high-tube setup, and from what I can see they look almost identical as far as form and function. Any insight?

Right now in my Glock 19 I carry Winchester Personal Protection hollow points in the white box. I'm wondering with all the +P and other stuff out there if there's maybe a more 'modern' round with more stopping power. Thoughts?

I'm looking to buy a DPMS AR in either .243 or .308 for under $1k before fees. I see them quite often around this price, so that's not a problem. My problem is deciding which caliber and barrel length to choose. I want this rifle for long range 800+ yard accuracy. I was originally going to...

I'm looking to get the slide and receiver of my Kel-Tec P3AT refinished (due to holster wear) and eventually my Remington 870P. Those of you who have had your firearm(s) refinished and carry them and/or are hard on them, what do you prefer/recommend? I only want to do this once :)

I don't want to hurt the finish of the rifle trying to pry it out or anything. I've tried every way I can to get it to give a little with absolutely no luck, and I'm not a small guy. What's the proper way to remedy this situation?
