Might seem like a dumb question but I'm curious how you guys would rate the follow brands of ammo from best to worst? CCI Blazer Brass CCI Blazer Winchester White Box Sellier & Bellot Magtech American Eagle Remington UMC Just curious what I should generally be reaching for at the...

So there is a debate going on in a guitar-related forum I frequent. Someone at a Guitar Center in North Carolina was OC-ing and was asked to disarm or leave. I assume they can legally do that. Can they do that for people who carry concealed as well?

Been eying a .50AE Desert Eagle recently. Seems like a fun range gun. However, seeing as ammo is pretty expensive for it, I have a hard time justifying spending $1500 on a gun I probably wouldn't shoot too often. Is it possible to buy the .50AE DE and also get parts to convert it to .357Mag?

Finally got around to taking a couple pics of my small handgun collection. I've been shooting since November and so far I'm up to 10 guns. A few .22 rifles, a Yugo SKS, M44, a Mossberg 835 shotgun, and these handguns. The most recent purchase is the Ruger GP100. I bought that badboy last week. :)

I was out at a local gun shop the other day looking for a new handgun. Nothing real specific but I just wanted something new. After looking at the usual Glocks and XDs and so on, I decided that since I already have 3 autoloaders it was time for a revolver. I decided that a good starting point...

What can you guys tell me about the Springfield SAR3? I found one at a local gun shop for $699. Good price? Decent gun? I need to check and see if that gun fall under my counties AWB or if the AWB even applies to my town.

Does anyone know where I can get stocks for a 1917 Eddystone? My g/f's Dad has one but something happened to to the stock at one point and now he just has the guts of the gun laying in the house somwhere. I think it was one of his first guns and I thought it'd be cool if I could grab him a...

So I'm giving serious thought to grabbing one of these guns in the next couple weeks. Since they are ex-police guns I'm curious as to how much the quality varies between them. How did yours look when you received it? Did you have to fix anything on it? I'd also like to encourage you all to...

Well, me and some buddies have decided to head out to a local public rifle range this weekend. The only rifle range I've ever been too was private and there was no RO on duty and never more than one other person on the range. I like to think that I'm very careful and courteous with my...

Well, I finally gave in and sent my 1911 back to Springfield. I call them up last Weds and explained the problem to the woman on the phone. She emailed me a FedEx label and assured the gun would return in perfect working order. I get home from work on Monday and there is a FedEx tag on my...

So, I was going through a box in my attic and I stumbled upon some of my old airsoft guns. I found my old airsoft USP, P99, 92FS and this gun. I assume, like my other guns, it's modeled after a real gun. It says S&W on it and it's caliber is 356 TSW... Also, whats the deal with 356 TSW...

How often you you replace the recoil springs in your handguns? Stupid question, I know. But my 1911 doesn't seem to slide all the way forward on every shot anymore. It sometimes gets stuck a few centimeters short and I have to nudge it forward with my thumb and the gun only has 1000 rounds...

I went with the g/f out to her parents house in Minnesota this weekend and her Dad took us to a private range. I got to shoot my SKS, M44 and Mossberg 835 for the first time since I bought them. SKS- I love this gun!! Very little recoil and pretty accurate. I was shooting Silver Bear ammo. I...

After about a month of waiting, I finally got my SA 1911 Mil-Spec back from the gunsmith! :D Well, I'm happy to say there are no more extractor problems. Now it jams in a different way. It seems like the rounds aren't making it up the feed ramp. They jam up when they are parallel with the...

If you guys use a recoil pad with your M44s, what kind/size do you use? :)

I've been shopping around for a first shotgun recently. Just something to take to the range and play around with. I stumbled upon a used Mossberg 835 at a local store for $200 and grabbed it. I was originally hoping to find a Remington 870 with a shorter barrel but this seemed like a good deal...

Weird question, I know... Thanks to the advice you guys gave me, I'm 95% sure the extractor is the issue with my 1911 Mil-Spec. Would it be worth it to send it back to SA as opposed to having a gunsmith look at it locally? I would imagine an extractor isn't a huge fix. As stupid as it sounds...

Sorry if this has already been posted. I found it interesting though. http://www.theledger.com/article/20080313/NEWS/803130481/1039

I went to a gun show a couple weeks ago and picked up some M44 stripper clips (in addition to a butt-load of ammo :D). Anyway, I can't get the stupid things to work right. It's easier to load the gun round by round then use those things. Has anyone found stripper clips that work right for the...

I know this is an odd question but my new 1911 is jamming a lot and it just occurred to me that I might be "limp wristing" it. So, what exactly happens when you "limp wrist" a 1911?
