I have a XDM9 that I have used for quite some time in steel matches, and I also have a very low use XDM9 525. Today I shot the 525 in a match with a familiar course of fire. I shot my fastest time ever on one of the two stages (25 plates each @ 45', shooting from 3 different locations). Time...

Anyone have them? Like them or not worth the money?

Any known reason why the trigger adjustment screw on an X Bolt can't be completely removed? On mine if I back it out until it is completely loose the trigger pull is 3.5 pounds - the minimum spec in the manual which claims adjustability from 3.5-5 pounds. I have not disassembled the...

I am mounting a scope on my new X bolt rifle. One-piece ring/mounts are Talley, the OEM manufacturer for Browning. When I install the two front most screws in the through-holes drilled in the receiver, they bottom out against the barrel's threads before the mounts are pulled up tight against...

I am thinking about getting one of these Browning X-Bolts http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/detail.asp?fid=023B&cid=035&tid=361 with factory Cerakote finish. I have no experience at all with this finish. Does it hold up? Is it rust proof without being oiled? Any experience...

I just heard of them recently. Never seen one in person.

http://ruger.com/products/HawkeyeMagnumHunter/models.html I would like to hear any impressions you have after shooting this rifle, particularly regarding accuracy.

A month or so ago I stumbled across a Facebook page called Active Self Protection. I "liked" it and now I get one or two videos sent to my Facebook page per day of actual self-defense encounters from around the world, mostly involving firearms. This has been very educational. I recommend any...

Does a stock XDM 525 make for a good club level comp gun? Any bugs showed up?

Shot it in a high power match yesterday. Not the typical high power gun, but my club lets you shoot just about anything you want in matches, it just doesn't count for points or wins if the configuration is illegal - like my BCM middy. 200 yards on a SR5 target, all prone unsupported. Two...

What would be better for knocking over steel, 147 grain standard loads, or 124 grain NATO loads? Any other low cost alternatives? 115 standard loads are not getting it done.

I am working on a proposal to set up and teach a community college class on AR15s... Safety, familiarization with the weapon, and so on. As part of the justification for my proposal I want to include some reliable statistics pertaining to the sales numbers of AR. I would also like to be able...

How does the future of high power competition look? Our club is mostly middle aged to elderly group, and is a rather small group, has been for years. I don't know if interest is declining, but it doesn't seem to be growing. I was curious if there any national trends? Now I shoot high...

Is there a good reason, particularly a legal reason, why activism isn't routinely directed primarily at the specific person or persons who is / are pushing attempts to illegally deny civil rights, as opposed to directing efforts much more vaguely against a government, agency, law, or proposed law?

I bought some Fiocchi 45 230 grain XTP ammo, it is spec'd at 900 FPS. Now 900 FPS seems awful fast for 230 grain 45 ammo, yet it is not designated as "+P" by the manufacturer. I got what appears to be a really great deal on 1,000 rounds of it, and there is a possibility I might be able to get...

I want to buy the wife a 9mm handgun. I want a full sized gun, ie not a shortened barrel or grip frame. But I want a single stack for her small hands. I also prefer a striker fired pistol without a safety, like a Glock. In fact a Glock would be perfect, however unless I have overlooked...

Is YOUR RRA gun or trigger group reliable with 556 ammo / military primers? Please note this poll is only asking about your personally owned or personally issued hardware. You can vote for more than one choice.

18" FDE Shot it with PMC Bronze, PMC XTAC 193 55, S&B 55, Federal XM193, Federal AE223, and Independence 193 55. Used the supplied IWI 30 round mag and a 2nd Gen PMAG 20 rounder. All ammo and both mags functioned the gun 100%. Accuracy appears roughly on par with with my BCM ARs with...

After recently getting a FN PS90, I realized I really like some aspects of a bull pup design.... I am now seriously considering a Tavor. Any owners or users with some first hand experience / thoughts you would share? Thanks

After years of conflict, is it still common in the Army to push the idea that rifles need to kept exteemely clean or even spotless for proper operation? I notice in footage I see that disciplined gun handling by soldiers seems to have come forward dramatically.
