    Any problems with leaving a Sig P220 slide locked back?

    Subject pretty much says it all. I plan on using my P220 as a nightstand gun. I don't have a holster for it yet - got one ordered but it's 30-45 days out. I don't want to leave it with a round chambered and no holster to cover the trigger. I was thinking about putting a mag in it, locking the...

    Sudden slack in 590 mag spring?

    Hey guys, Here's the deal. About 6-8 months ago I bought a Mossberg 590 (20", 8+1 capacity). It is purely for home defense. It is stored in a vertical holder of sorts near my bed (except for when I leave the house of course, it goes in the safe). I read up on the subject and decided to...

    What is an Arsenal SLR-100H worth?

    Local gun shop has a used one for sale. It's an Arsenal SLR-100H. Milled receiver. Looks to be in pretty typical used shape. It's in 7.62 (I don't think they were made in any other caliber). Seems expensive, I think it was roughly $1300. This is MA though, firearms generally are more expensive...

    Collection of gun-related polls - very interesting to see the progress we are making

    http://www.pollingreport.com/guns.htm Check it out. What was most interesting is that under some of the polls, it has the responses from the last 10-15 years. Almost all or all of them are moving in the right direction. "Would you favor or oppose a law that banned the sale of handguns?"...

    Finnish M39 pricing?

    Gentlemen, I have been looking for a decent Mosin recently and my local gun shop just got some Finnish M39s in. They are asking $400 and I think they have 4 of them. This is the description: "VALMET MFG 1944, ALL MATCHING, ARSENAL RECONDITIONED AND NEVER ISSUED, MINT BORE-VERY LIMITED...

    Whoa - pro-gun nerd community?

    http://entertainment.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/15/1529235 I'm an avid Slashdot reader (basically a news site for nerds). They allow you to post comments on any of their stories/headlines. After reading this brief story, I figured there would be millions of calls to "SAVE THE CHILDREN"...

    Grand Theft Auto IV trailer - gun related

    http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32759.html?type=flv I got a laugh out of it. For people who don't play video games here, this is a very popular line of games. One of the most fun games I've ever played. I will definitely be picking this one up when it comes out. Dope

    Best pre-ban ('94 and earlier) AR-type rifle?

    Yes, here in MA we have a permanent version of the '94 AWB, in case you didn't know. I'm looking at buying a pre-ban AR but back in 94 and earlier there weren't many manufacturers. Should I just stick with Colt? Or are were there other decent manufacturers? I see a few Bushmasters, few RRAs...

    Best possible hearing protection?

    Hmm I did a search on this and couldn't come up with exactly what I wanted. Here's the deal: I already have fairly significant hearing loss (non-firearms related). I wear hearing aids. This means I can't wear ear plugs, so I'm stuck with the over-ear design. Obviously, I want to protect...

    What is the definition of a "loaded" firearm?

    Help me settle a disagreement with a buddy. Do you consider a firearm to be loaded only if there is a round in the chamber? IE: it will fire if you pull the trigger. Or is it "loaded" if it has any ammo at all in it? Dope

    Nightstand gun: SIG P220R or SW/Para 1911?

    Gents, I've been searching like a mofo but I can't decide what I want. I want a .45 semi-auto. Living in MA, I am limited to 10 round mags so I figured I might as well get a .45 since there really isn't much of a capacity benefit to going with a smaller round. I've researched and held both...

    Online retailers that will sell to MA residents?

    I posted this over on Northeastshooters.com but I figured with the large member base here that there must be some people who know of sites that sell to MA. If anyone knows would you mind PM/Emailing me some sites? Please don't post them up in this thread (unless you just want to...

    Does anyone know of a case where a homeowner was charged for shooting an intruder?

    Title pretty much says it all. I recently purchased a shotgun for home defense. I've been trying to search around, reading legal information pertaining to HD. What I'm having a hard time finding is actual case information regarding a homeowner shooting an intruder. I live in a state with a...

    New Mossberg 590 8+1 only holds 7 in the tube?

    Hey guys, Got some ammo for my 590 today (2.75" 00 buck), and discovered that I can only fit about 7.5 shells in the tube. This is definitely an 8+1 (20" barrel) 590. Now, I'm guessing this is related but I live in MA. The shotgun came with a dowel in the tube that limited capacity to 5 shells...

    Mossberg 590 - drop safe?

    I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but I wanted to see if there can be any actual confirmation or documentation on this. I've heard that a new Mossberg 590 is safe to store/carry with a round in the chamber due to them being "drop safe". Is this true? I did a search and found...

    Girlfriend/wife with warped views on self-defense?

    New guy here, first new thread! I type a lot, so pardon the length of this. There is a summary and a few questions at the bottom of this thread if you have ADD. First off, a little background: My girlfriend (who has been living with me for about a year and a half) is hardly an "anti". She...
