I'm getting back into IDPA after being away for far too long. Though I already have a few suitable service pistols in 9mm and .40 S&W, I've been looking into getting a striker-fired 9mm just for IDPA use. I know Glocks are super popular for IDPA, but they have never fit me very well. I've seen a...

Has anyone seen or used one of these? Is this anything like the Noveske flaming pig muzzle device? Would this do anything to mitigate muzzle blast on an AR fired indoors...

In 2016, I bought seven firearms. Early in 2016, I bought a Sig 9mm and a Winchester O/U shotgun. Both have been excellent and I still have them. I bought a milsurp rifle in mid-2016, and it's also been an awesome gun. But, starting in September, I bought an Aero Precision AR15, a Ruger...

I have a Remington 1100 Tac-2 that I'd like to use with a red-dot sight. I have both an Aimpoint PRO and a Bushnell TRS-25 to try. My receiver is already drilled/tapped, so what I really need is a good Picatinny rail. I hear that EGW makes a couple of good ones, including both a "heavy duty"...

Just when I thought there was nothing new I wanted to get, Ruger announced before Christmas that it would be making the GP100 chambered in .44 Special. Right away, I knew I wanted one. Though I'd expected not to see one until the spring or so, I had a chance to get one much sooner and did so. I...

I'm looking to get another service pistol to go with my Sig P226 and Sig SP2022. I looked at a lot of options yesterday, but I was most impressed by the feel of the FNS-9. My assumption would be that anything made by FN would be good to go, but I've never owned one of their pistols. Where to...

I just picked up an Aero Precision midlength rifle from Brownell's at a really nice price. I swapped out the M4 stock for an A1-length fixed stock from Fulton Armory (made by Cav Arms, I'm pretty sure), and I added a Spike's carry-handle rear sight. I think it gives the gun an old-school rifle...

A couple of days ago, someone resurrected an old thread from 2009 highlighting an excerpt from a Chuck Hawks reprinted article that was very critical of 147-grain 9mm loads. Yesterday, the moderator closed this thread that was "16 years old" (though the first post was from 2009 :confused:) but...

I have a CZ 527 Carbine chambered in 7.62x39. I've had it a year now, and until lately had always just used the iron sights. My vision has taken a downhill slide lately, so I decided to try a scope on this little rifle. Before buying something specific for the CZ (I'm looking at Leupolds), I...

I was looking at a pair of Leupold 2-7x32 scopes recently in Bass Pro. One was a VX-2 at $300, and the other was a VX-1 priced at $220. Handling and looking through both side by side, I could discern no difference in build or optical quality. So, what's the difference, besides $80? I'm guessing...

I've been interested in adding a free-float handguard to my Colt 6920, and the Vltor CASV-EL has caught my eye. Unfortunately, I've not seen any of these in actual use. Still, I like the look, as well as the simple installation requiring no permanent changes to my rifle. Does anyone here have...

I've been looking at a military flap holster for my Glock 19. I already have an M12 holster, which is essentially the same as the Bianchi UM84, for my Sig P226. I was thinking of getting the 4-inch version for my G19. After looking, I see that there is also the UM92 holster, which incorporates a...

I've owned pistols and revolvers for over 20 years, but they have almost always been "full-size" guns, with an occasional "compact" in the mix. Recently, I had been looking seriously at something I could carry in a pocket. For years, my supposed carry weapon has been a Kahr K9. Unfortunately, I...

I have an issue with my CMMG 9mm AR. This carbine has functioned well until recently. Yesterday, I took it to the range and discovered that the bolt would frequently (but not always) lock back during firing even with a loaded magazine in place. When this first happened, I looked inside but saw...

I'm interested in getting a 2-7x scope with a German reticle. Unfortunately, options are VERY limited. What seems to be available are very expensive scopes with 30mm tubes, which I cannot use with my current rings. There are a handful of other offerings, but nothing that comes close to what I'm...

I used to handload, and quite a bit. But I don't now. Between family, work, and a half dozen other commitments, I don't foresee getting back into handloading for another few years. Right now, it's hard enough to find time to shoot. So again, handloading is not an option for me in the short term...

I admit that I'm biased toward the AR platform. I loved the first one I ever shot, and the AR remains my favorite to this day. However, I have nothing against the AK platform, and I've given it a chance to impress me. Unfortunately, things didn't pan out. A few years ago, after much research...

I've been looking at GP100 revolvers lately. Is there a "best" time period for these? These have been made since 1980s, and getting an older one that's barely used isn't that hard. Are the older ones or the newer ones the better option? Just wondering if there's much difference in fit/finish...

I took my oldest son (12) to the local sporting clays place on Saturday. He claimed he was bored at home, and I suggested that we go shooting. He got a 20-gauge Remington 870 last Christmas, and he's not shot it much this year. So, I suggested shooting clays. I grabbed his shotgun and my...

I have said quite a bit here about acquiring the new Ruger LCR chambered in 9mm. I have looked forward to this offering from Ruger like nothing else I can remember for some time. After I found one online, I bought it, and I received it from my LGS last week. I took it to the indoor range...
