From what I've read on the forums, all RSC gun safes can be sliced with a Harbor Freight 110 volt metal wheel cut-off tool in a few minutes. Therefore putting more money into a RSC isn't buying more security. I want a more secure safe. For me that means a safe that has some protection from...

Considering an AMSEC gun safe. The factory installed electronic lock options are Sargent 6120, Sargent 6120EZ, LaGard Basic, or AMSEC ESL, no biometric. I assume Kaba-Mas dual mode is not an option for BF series (or requires special installation that will cost $$$). How do I decide which to...

I have a Sig P229 loaded with 15 rounds of 147gr. It's heavy and uncomfortable to carry to the point of not wanting to carry. I carry IWB. I'm wondering if the Glock 19 or XD 3.8 compact is noticeably lighter? Thanks. Jake.

Even though the jar/tub is cheaper, should I get the syringe for some sort of advantage that is worth the extra cost?

What should I know about speedloaders and the Ruger SP101? What are the options for speedloading the Ruger SP101? How would you rank those options? Safariland looks good, but not offered for the SP101. Anyone know why not? HKS has 36-A. Moonclips? Others? Thanks, Jake

For CCW, what are the opinions of the Rhino 200 and Ruger's SP101? Looks don't matter; functionality, accuracy, and doing the job it was designed to do is much more important. The idea of Rhino's low bore axis in 357 mag sounds ideal. So why isn't it more recommended over the SP101? Or is...

I was real interested in Smith & Wesson's 340PD because it is lightweight for boot/ankle carry. But then I noticed it didn't come with tritium night sights :(. Why no night sights? Any rumors of factory tritium sight upgrades? Or are there after-market tritium sights? Or perhaps there's a drop...

We've all seen the prices skyrocketing and gouging lately on AW type guns. I talked to one dealer and he said it wasn't him raising the prices, but the distributor/importer. Anyone know what's really going on? Is it the mad rush to buy them up, and suppliers can't keep up with the demand...

I'm interested in getting my first AR15. I've been reading multiple forums, and becoming more lost than when I started. I would like to ask for some help in locating some resources to really help a newbie out. Perhaps a book or a web resource that can explain in more details and facts...
