I have heard several people mention to me in the last few months that their favorite 1911 style pistol jams up every time they try to chamber a .45 hollowpoint but it feeds just perfectly with .45 ball ammo. Why does .45 hollowpoints have such bad feeding issues compared to other calibers of...

What erks me is here in Minnesota only a .22LR or short is legal for small game hunting. Yes shotguns are too but I'm talking rifles here. The industry has come out with a whole slew of .17 caliber rounds but the small game laws haven't been updated. The state decided that a .22WMR is too...

What's your favorite type of shotgun and why? Is it a semi-auto, a pump or a double barrel? Edit: Mine is a double barrel side by side. Why? I'm not sure, maybe it's a nostalgia thing, maybe I don't like a really heavy shotgun, maybe I like the feel of the barrel break and the click of it...

Okay, I bought a Mossberg 500 a while back in the 12 gauge variety and I was wondering if I bought more gun than I ever needed. My question for all you out there is what gauge gun is used for what critter? I know my old man used to say 12 gauge is good for goose and turkey but other gauges...

Just a little hypothetical situation here. What would you do (if anything) if America went to hell and the 2nd Amendment was successfully repealed or nuliffied? People tend to talk real big but never actually live up to what they say. Don't tell me what you'd say you'd do, tell me what you'd...

This might be answerable with one short sentance or it might take an enormous debate but heregoes. What's a typical lifespan (roughly speaking) for a polymer pistol? I've heard some people say 5,000 rounds with +P or 10,000 rounds with normal charges. I've also heard people say about 20,000...

Every single time I go to the local sporting goods store I frequent, I always see an entire display case of used SIG pistols for sale. I come back in about a month or so and the case is still full but this time with completely different pistols. What's going on? Are SIG's actually that bad...

Anyone have any experience with this round? This bullet type is used in the FN P90, the FN PS90, and the FN Five-seveN firearms. Bullets: SS190 military & police only round has about 10-12 inches penetration in ballistic gelatin SS109 is the civilian version of the SS190 round SS192 is a...

I'm a bit green to the whole reloading idea and it'll probably show. My question though is whether or not there are varmint style bullets a person could reload with that would turn a .270 if properly reloaded into an acceptable varmint rifle. I'd want it to be capable of taking out 'yotes at...

What's the major differences between a Longbow, a Recurve, and a Flatbow? Here's what i know already. Recurve: These are usually shorter than the other two, almost never stacks (if made right), is faster than the other two and can be a bit noisier because the string will slap against the...

Now, please understand that I'm a long time archery hunter and when I ask this it's not because I'm dissing rifle hunting but because I really don't know. Whats the challenge behind rifle hunting besides accuracy? In archery you've got all sorts of challenges. First, you have to scout the...

I've never shot these two loads before but I was paging through the ballistics of the different rifle rounds and found these two calibers have many offerings, they have roughly the same bullet weights available and the drop on both is relatively shallow. I was wondering if any of you have shot...

I was really really bored at work today and I had a random idea come to me at one point. What would happen if you took a .223 out small game hunting? Would you end up with "cream of tree rat" or would it actually work reasonably well? What about rabbit?

Check this out. http://moronland.net/moronia/moron/387/ It's guys like this that give gun owners a bad name. This is a perfect example of what not to do. BTW, this is murder and he's busted. He's caught on tape.

I know a variant of this question has been beat to death and then some but I've got a bit of curiosity about a simple yes or no type variant. My Question: I know that it's generally believed that a 40cal. will hit harder and kill "better" than a 9mm and a 45acp will do it better than a...

Anyone know of a good but "cheap" double barrel side-by-side? All the double barreled shotguns I see are either over/under or $2,000 and up.

I was wondering if anyone knows what education a security guard needs. I know that aspiring police officers are encouraged to get a Bachelors Degree in criminal justice but I was wondering what education is like in the security guard realm. I know the security guards at (for a random example)...

Hi, Just like the title of the thread says, I found that gun at Gander Mountain while browsing price tags. I found a $400 pistol, I looked harder and saw it was .40S&W and had night sights. I know I've heard alot of good things about this pistol. The only bad thing I've heard is that some...

Hi everyone, This self-loader fan is wondering why revolvers are so popular. I know they're the original pistol and they're kind of a nostalgia thing. A throwback to another era. When you get tired of hearing about all the new computer technology, Britney Spears hits the tabloids and your...

Okay, now for another "this one or that one" question I have. I know these kind of questions can get kinda irritating under the wrong circumstances but there's alot I don't know. I'm of the personal opinion that you should buy a long barrel unless you just can't accomidate one. If you can't...
