    Which 9mm?

    Now, I know, I know, most of you are thinking "why does it have to be a 9mm"? And indeed, there is no good reason why it should be, but being an European, and having looked at gun sites and read gun magazines, and having discussed handguns at the range, I get the impression that appart from...

    The Beretta Storm 9mm, what do YOU think?

    I guess that all of you know that Beretta has entered the 'Polymer gun wars', with it's own imput of the Storm 9mm... It's not only a rather cool looking polymer semi-auto, but has a rather unique (I only know of 3-4 semi-auto handguns that use this, please correct me if I'm wrong), turning...

    Hello, I have a question about the Glock compacts... Now, what is the trigger like, is it like some DA triggers, that seem like pulling a darn truck with your finger, or is it just like firing a cocked military gun, or even some cocked single action guns??? I just cannot tell as in the...

    Are you guys as confused about the mass of rifle ammunition types out there as I?

    I was checking out the Ruger rifles on the web, and ZAP! There it was again! New and unkown (to me that is), rifle ammunition types. Ruger has rifles in their M77 hawkeye bolt action rifles, in 338 RCM & 300 RCM ammunition. Well, I dont know either. I gather that the tip's (or bullets if...

    About the different abbreviations for ammunition?

    Hello, could somebody help me in giving a link to a sight where they explain all of the letter combos for different ammo? Or if you know it yourself, please let us know, because I'm a little bewildered and I have a multitude of questions, but for starters can you give me a kind of 'quick guide...

    Ammo. Slow&heavy or fast&light?

    I was cheking out the .357 vs .44special thread, and one of the proponents of the 44special said, he preferred slow and heavy shooting guns to the 125grain .357mag in question... This brings us to a rather eternal question, I mean it's as universal as 7.62x39 vs 5.56nato, or a fast 9mm...

    Which one? PARA-micro9. or. EMP springfield?

    These are the two smallest semi auto's in the pretty darn good, and well priced too category. The Para-ordnance has put out the micro-9, which is a 9mm parabellum, with 9+1 rounds fired from a 3inch barrel, that fires from a gun the sized of a snubnose revolver, you have to start asking about...

    HI THERE! I was ogling and drooling at the great looking SVI Infinity gun in a finnish gun mag, and also the great looking STI Legend, with those possibly best looking cerrations in any handgun going, and thinking, whoa! Who pay's the usually about 1200usd+ prices for a handgun! I mean, one can...

    List YOUR 10 favourite guns!

    Hello from Finland again! I for one see guns as tools primarily, and as any tool they have a funtional beauty. I often look at the pictures of guns that I have downloaded, not just because I dream of living in a place where I could own some of them (wallet allowing), but because there is a...

    What happened to the 10mm???

    I wonder when looking at ballistic charts, that the obviously greatest all rounder from the 'normal semi auto ammo', is the 10mm, and yet, it has only a fiew manufacturers both in the ammo and guns that fire it... I belive that the 10mm was thought out intentionally to be the 'next generation...

    Hello everybody from Finland, after being a member of the Helsinki Shooting club for over a couple of years, I now am getting my first gun, it's going to be a 22lr, something that I wished wasnt so as I have rented mostly 9mm sig, and tried all kinds up to the .50 desert eagle. And anyway, when...
