What, if anything, do you do every time before you shoot handguns for target/competition/etc? Dry fire, mantra? I need some ideas of things to do mentally before I take each shot. Had a disheartening day at the range this afternoon :barf:

I picked up a cheap leather holster from Cabela's yesterday for some OWB carry when I'm out in the woods, etc. The thing is stiff as a board! What is a good way to start breaking it in? At the moment, I'm not even able to clear leather with one hand. The front site is getting caught on...

My buddy unearthed his grandfather's old Sears bolt action 12 gauge and brought it to the range with us last time out. The bolt was stickier than most Mosins I've fired, but I don't think I've had that much fun trying to shoot clays in my life. After I had started knocking down single...

Like some of you, I have baby hands. This makes double-stack handguns particular difficult for me, so I went with a 1911. I still could use a little bit less space, so I've been looking into slim 1911 grips. Does anyone else use these? Do they actually provide more space, or is it...

I'm finally taking my CCW class this weekend, and I have a little idea on what I'd want in a IWB holster, but could use a little bit of feedback. What I'm thinking so far: The handgun I'd be concealing would be a Kimber Custom II 1911. - IWB, not interested in OWB at all. - Leather (I'll...

I've used the search bar to try to find something like my question, but I didn't find anything. So... What is the most accurate handgun you have ever fired?

Hi all, Picked up an early 80s S&W 66-1 4" a couple months ago and FINALLY got some more .38 special and .357 at our Walmart in town. I literally called or checked everyday to see if they ever had anything in stock. It felt like Christmas when I saw those boxes of Remington UMC sitting on...

Hey all, I just stumbled upon this on my local gun trader website. I've never seen or heard anything about a pump-action AK, so I thought I'd share it with you guys. Check it out.. http://midwestguntrader.com/viewad.asp?id=58001864314100319 What do you think?

Hello all, My 21st is approaching in the next few months (late November) and I was wondering on when I can go about starting to take classes for it. I have heard that you are allowed to take the certification at any age, however the application must be done when you are actually of legal...

I recently inherited my father's old 11-87 and the majority of the barrel has some pretty serious rust underneath the vent. I'm planning on replacing it with a new hunting barrel, nothing difficult there, but also grabbing a shorter (18-20in) barrel for HD purposes. Problem is that I can't...

Hi all, as you might have read in some of my other posts I have the twenty-year-old handgun-woes. Here's the situation: I have a handgun which I obtained legally through a FTF sale in my resident state that I am looking to trade for another. I found someone interested, but he is a MO...

Okay, so I have to pass a shooting test for a German Army Proficiency test for the military and (long story short) we have to shoot a silhouette target with a G19 from 25 yards. I'm a decent shot, at least I thought so, and I didn't stress it too much. Time came to practice today, and now I...

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything. I was wondering today, was there any intentional making of calibers in .223 or .308? Why those dimensions? If I were to design a round, I would try to make it a rounded number, like 5.5mm or 8mm (I know this is already...

I was wondering what was the standard issue BUIS were for M4's and M16A4's without carry handles in the military? Specifically the Army/Marines, does anyone know which brand? Or does it just vary?

My new SW1911Sc I posted a couple months ago about how I shot a 1911 for the first time and absolutely fell in love with it. Well, after some time spent on the local FTF trade website I finally got one! I picked up a SW1911Sc on the 31st (Happy Holidays to me! :evil:) and boy, I can't get...

Hi all, I spent last night at the indoor range shooting my new 1911. Something that the guy next to me was shooting was seriously bothering my left ear, and immediately after I left I realized I had no ability to hear in that ear. Now, this has happened to me before. But it has always...

Hi all, I am looking to turn my Colt into a wanna-be M16A4, so I am looking into getting a 12" free float quad rail. I have read several sites on the installation and I think I can do it with relative ease, but what is all this about "simply cutting off the delta ring"...

I am looking for a good, potent OC spray I can get my mother for Christmas. She often walks the dog at night, with no phone and no means of protecting herself :banghead: Some minor crime has been happening in her local area, and all these stories she is telling me are beginning to freak me...

Okay, I have an opportunity to get a Sig P226R and I am kinda leaning towards doing it. I like everything I have heard about them, but have yet to try one yet. Plus I like that 9mm ammo price. Does anyone here conceal one of these? What would one chambered in 9mm with AHS Night sights...

So I am caught in a Trade Dilemma. I just recently bought a Colt HBAR and have loved it, yadda yadda. But I have ALWAYS, ALWAYS had my eye on one of those Springfield TRP Operators. Especially the one with a full length rail on the bottom. And one just turned up on my local gun-trade...
