My father recently bought a Smith and Wesson Sport II AR. I told him to get one with iron sights but when he showed it to me, it’s the version with no sights just a rail. I now need to get him something so that it is useable. I assume there is no way to get iron sights for it since there is no...

It’s my father in law’s 70th birthday in July and we will be in Northern Virginia for it. He wants to shoot trap or sporting clays while he’s in VA (we all live in New Jersey now). Are there any good places for trap/sporting clays in NOVA that supplies gun and shells? I lived close to the...

My father has been buying .223/5.56 ammo where he can. Recently a shooting friend of his sold him boxes of steel cased .223 ammo and said not to use it in an AR (we have a Mini-14 so that was fine). The guy was selling the ammo for $6 a box so I told my dad to get as much as he could. My...

My father in law just bought his first shotgun. He takes it to an indoor range where they only allow 00 buckshot or slugs. He wants my help finding him ammo (I know an almost impossible task), but I am a clay shooter and know nothing about buck/slugs. What would you all recommend for cheaper...

I like the look of the Fallkniven S1 Forest Knife. Does anyone have experience with them? Are they good, bad, overpriced? https://fallkniven.se/en/knife/s1/

what would it be and why? (straight-pulls included)

I am looking to ditch some of my guns in calibers I don't use any more. I want to replace them with more common and available (I know nothings available right now) calibers. I'm not thinking full prepper, but as ammo gets scarce what might I have an easier time finding at stores or in private...

I’ve received conflicting advice on this so I want to post it here and see if I can get a conclusive answer. I have a stainless/synthetic Mini 14 that my father bought me new in around 2005/06. it is only stamped with .223. People generally say you cannot fire 5.56 in .223 but then other...

My father in law is not a gun guy but decided he wanted a shotgun for home defense and occasional trap shooting. I generally would recommend getting two different shotguns and have each serve a specific role, but he only wants one. I recommended the 870 field/defense combo but wondered if anyone...

I’ve loved the Hi-Power for years and am finally looking to get my own. I’m looking for a fixed sight version and I will be shooting it so while I love historic models I’d probably want something a little newer. Are there any models (say post 1970) I should aim for or avoid?

I was recently looking at a french pistol that was a WWII bring back. It had "POLICE D'ETAT" on the slide but no German markings. This would lead me to assume the pistol was taken off of a french police officer or from a police station, but I was wondering if the German's ever used pistols...

5 Years ago, before my father's birthday, I posted a thread about finding him a light recoiling shotgun due to back issues (https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/shotgun-for-bad-back.691066/). A couple people mentioned the Beretta A300. Well he never got around to changing shotguns and...

I like somewhat obscure guns and lately have really been getting into French military rifles and pistols. I wondered if anyone had experience with the 1935A or 1935S pistol. I know ammo is pretty impossible to come by. Any pictures you have is greatly appreciated. Picture isn't mine but I...

I've been looking around and haven't seen a recent post on this. I've seen a lot of people recently are upset with the NRA which I have been a member of since I was 18. I have been looking for another group to support along with or instead of the NRA and wanted to see if any you all felt...

I'm interested in getting a fixed blade knife like the Gerber Strongarm. It comes will full plain blade or partial serrated blade: https://www.smkw.com/gerber-strongarm-fixed-blade-partially-serrated-coyote https://www.smkw.com/gerber-strongarm-brown-handle-model-30001058 Is there any major...

My wife and I will be in Arlington, VA this weekend and I was thinking maybe on Sunday I could take her to a range to shoot her first handgun (we will be to far to get to my parents house where all my firearms are kept). Does anyone have a recommended NOVA range where you can rent firearms...

I've been practicing concealed carry with my training "blue gun" while I am in my apartment just to get used to the feel. I am in New York City right now so I cannot have my real pistol nor get a conceal carry permit. I understand the risks associated with carrying a fake gun out in the city...

Hi, I see a thread from 2007 (https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/g26-ammo-questions.311693/) but wanted to see if there were any recent opinions. I recently got a Glock 26 and was wondering what people on here thought was the best defense ammo for the gun. Any suggestions...

Hi, A friend of my fathers is interested in selling her late husband's Glock. I posted a while ago about it, he was a Deputy Chief of the United States Postal Inspection Service and bought this as a personal carry piece. Below is all the info my father texted me: I got the info the Glock 26 SN...

Hi, A while ago a friend of mine mailed me a magazine article on the best AR-15 for different situations (defense, target, etc.). It was from the last year or so but I cannot remember when exactly or even that the magazine was. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I am looking to possibly pick...
