I carpool with a gentleman from Peru. He just took his citizenship test yesterday. On the way to work Tuesday, I was asking him what kind of questions he'd be asked. He did his homework and was practically reciting the questions word-for-word... He chose one out of the blue: "What is the...

I'm looking at the Charter and Taurus offerings. This will be for carry - probably mostly pocket carry. So, which would you get - bearing in mind that Smiths and old Detectives/Agents are still on the table, I'm just asking for opinions on the budget guns. SP101 is off the table, though -...

I'm trying to decide on a pocket 9, and I keep landing back on the SCCY CPX-1. Not because I want to, but because it's the only pocket 9 (stretching the term "pocket 9" a bit) which has all the features I'm looking for: 9mm Luger, micro sized, true DAO with second strike, American mag release...

The topic seems to come up on a fairly regular basis. I was in Boy Scouts all the way through until my 18th birthday. I went to Philmont twice, which, for those who don't know, is a ranch in New Mexico where boys can go backpacking through the Rockies for 60-150 miles over 10 days. Going...

I went to hear Dr. Lott speak at GMU last night. I didn't hear any new arguments in his presentation. But in the Q&A, a couple people asked him if he thought the media was maliciously spinning stories in order to enact gun control. The example given was how they never print self defense...

I got two Safariland comp-II speedloaders for my GP100 for Christmas. I wanted them because I don't like the idea of twisting the HKS loaders on a free-spinning cylinder, and I wasn't sure how the Maxfires would work. Now that I have them, I'm a little disappointed in the quality of the...

Just that- a book for noobs. Explains the difference between shotguns and rifles, revolvers and semi-autos, rimmed vs. centerfire, SWC vs. RNL vs. JHP vs. FMJ, actions, shooting basics, et cetera. I have a 13 year old nephew who is interested in guns - his dad is ex-Navy but isn't...

The problem is that I am looking at getting a Kahr CW9 for carry, but I loathe the 2-tone look. I know the P9 comes in blackened stainless, but I don't want the polygonal rifling that comes with it. So what I'm looking to do is get the CW9 and blacken the slide (hopefully). Does anyone...

I bought a used GP100 last summer. It was a police trainer and was probably beat up pretty good. Originally I could lock it up, wiggle the cylinder, and I could hear that there was play, but not see it move. I put about 10 magnums through it, and a bunch more spcl and +P, but probably...

So, I'm a noob. I'm going to try to take out my Marlin .357 carbine this fall/winter after whitetail. Mainly because it's what I have - it was my first firearm. I'm more into handguns, but when I bought it I wanted a rifle first, but something I'd be able to buy in the same caliber later. I...

So I figure 70% of you are wondering what I mean by that, and maybe 30% are wondering, why didn't I think of that.... ...but I want to note beforehand that the following is not a joke, I really am looking for constructive feedback, and I realize I'm evacuating my bladder directly into a...

I'm fairly new to wheelies and I need some cleanup advice here. I bought a used stainless GP100 and recently put about 50-60 rounds through it. Now I've got burn marks all over it from the flash. The place I bought it from had stripped it down and bead blasted the entire thing in order to cover...

Just received this from VCDL. Please help by emailing your congressman! http://www.house.gov/writerep/ ====================================================== A few months ago pro-gun Congressman Ron Paul (TX-14) introduced a bill that would prohibit any regulation barring carry in...

So, I know there are a ton of CW threads out there, but I'm looking for a stack-up of these two pieces in particular. So far I've figured this much out. Kahr P9 pluses: -I've fired the Kahr CW9 before, and despite being told that I'd hate it, I didn't hate it. It kicked, but it didn't seem...

Is anyone else disgusted by this phrase getting tossed around so often? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_massacre Check out some of the numbers. South Dakota was a state when Wounded Knee happened, and therefore part of the US..... and the tally was over 325. So what is it that...

Does anyone have any experiences with them? I placed an order with them in February for 2 magazines and a Hogue grip. The magazines are on backorder - understandable, since they're for a Steyr and they come and go. I got an email on 3/17 that they're still processing it.... ....but now...

Hi all, I'm looking at holsters and I just can't see spending $150 to $200 on one when I've got a pretty complete array of leatherworking tools. I've made wallets, vests, shoes, sheaths, basically enough stuff to make me think this shouldn't be that difficult. (I've even done some plastic...

So, does anyone know why the top-break system wasn't carried forward to the current day? I was just reading that there were a couple 45LC models made in the past, so .357 magnum shouldn't be a stress issue - and even if it was in the past, I think that 21st century materials science could do...

Couple questions about this round.... First, is felt recoil generally less than, say, 9 Luger? I know that sounds stupid on the surface, but I want to know because 32 ACP is generally only in simple blowback weapons and felt recoil is going to be a lot higher than it could be. Second...
