    Ruger SR9 - Any thoughts?

    I'm a bit interested in these guns as it looks like it might make a nice carry weapon. Anybody have experience with them? I've gone to three gun shops this week and they all said they have sold out. I've never owned a Ruger, so I'm not up on their reliability and quality. The form factor...

    Shipping a handgun from CO to FL to my dad

    My father is interested in buying my SW M&P 9C from me for concealed carry. I need to ship it to him, but am not sure how to go about it? Can I ship the gun/barrel in separate boxes? Is that legal? Do I have to ship go through a federally licensed firearms dealer? This is a first for...

    My dog - Elwood - at the gun range.

    We took my Golden Retriever, Elwood, out to the range over the weekend. Apparently he was a bit jumpy everytime we'd start shooting. So while I was shooting, my buddy's wife put her ear protection on him. He sat in the back of the truck for the next half hour wearing the things - happy as...

    Glasses

    I wear glasses and have a CCW permit. It has just occurred to me to start practicing target acquisition without them. Not sure why it's taken me so long to start this drill, but it didn't dawn on me that I might lose then in scuffle and be forced to draw without them. Since I've only been...

    Best Personal Defense Ammo for Kimber Ultra CDP II

    Just got a new Kimber Ultra CDP II in .45ACP for my main CCW weapon for Fall/Winter. I am going to start breaking it in now, and wondering what others are using as a reliable and accurate ammo for these smaller 1911 frames. I'll start out using 230 gr. FMJ Remington UMC ammo to get the...

    S&W Model 500 Revolver - Bags 1051lb Pig!

    Just outside Anniston, Alabama on Thursday May 3 2007, an 11 year old boy kills 1,051 lb. wild Feral hog. The pig was over 10' 7" long. The hog was taken with a Smith & Wesson customized .50 caliber revolver shooting 350 grain bullets. The 11 year old boy is Jamison Stone. Took 9 shots (one...

    Most Accurate 9mm Out of the Box

    Any recommendations on a 9mm full sized for target practice. My .45ACP 1911 is my favorite target gun, but it gets expensive to shoot. I have the M&P compact in 9mm, and I'd like to carry just one ammo type to the range. However it is as accurate as a compact self defense gun can be. Enough...

    Para Warhog Series

    Any thoughts? Looks like an interesting concealed carry option. The single stack looks interesting, but I am leaning toward the 9mm version as it is just plain cheaper to practice with. Anybody have one? What are the alternatives? I saw that SA also makes a shortened 1911 style with 9mm...

    Handgun Storage in Car When Away from Vehicle

    Anybody have a Subaru Outback with a steel lock box in it for storing your handgun when traveling through non-reciprocal states or those areas where you have to leave your CC weapon behind? There are a couple of nice pockets in the back end, and one nice storage area underneath the trunk...

    Hangun Safe for Apartment

    I have 4 handguns and I live in an apartment downtown. Two are CC weapons M&P 9c and S&W j-frame. One is my bear gun - 329PD One is my fun gun - SW1911. Yeah, I know, I just trend toward S&W for some reason. I'd like to lock up all guns except my daily carry, but I don't have room...

    New M&P 9c Questions

    This is one sweet little gun. I compared it against the glocks (something about them I just don't like), the Walther 99c, the Kahr, and the XD, and walked away with the M&P. The 99c was a great looking/feeling gun, but I've heard of triggers falling off and other such problems in reading the...

    Glock 36 for concealed carry?

    I'm looking for a good reliable autoloader for when I can by with a larger gun than my j-frame. My round of choice is .45ACP, and I was wondering if anybody concealed carries with the Glock 36? It looks like a pocketable gun during the winter months, and would definitely ride well in the car...

    S&W 329 - .44 Specials and Cylinder Marring

    When I first purchased my 329 I put 50 .44 special cowboy loads through it just to get a feel for the trigger. Now I can't seem to get the dark rings of gunk out of the cylinder ring. I gave it a good 20 minute cleaning upon the first use, bore brushed it and ran cleaning pads through each...

    S&w 360pd

    I exchanged my brand new Bersa Thunder CC 380 today for a S&W 360PD. The Bersa had major fit/finish issues, misfeeds galore - and it made me realize why I've always trusted wheelguns with my life. Took it to the range and wow, I have never had such an uncontrollable gun. I chose it for size...

    Back Yesterday - S&W 329 PD with Mag-na-porting

    It's beautiful in person - but I thought I'd share. Too bad I was already at the range yesterday when this came. Can't wait to take it out next week. I've got to put on my new S&W500 Hogue Grips today as well. Overall this is one of my favorite guns I've ever owned.

    Walther PPK or Sig 232

    I'm looking for a good smaller bore concealed carry. I've looked at longs of calibers and guns, from the Glock 36, to the Kahrs and H&K P2000, and held them all. Nothing comes close to the form factory and quality of build as the Walther or Sig in my opinion. Now I'm stuck, because I'm not...
