I know this is going to be unique for everyone. Recently I inherited some money from a family member who was very pro-gun. I want to take about/up to $2k of it and spend it on something memorable. I’ve already got all my basic uses covered currently, with mostly basic mass produced firearms...

Picked up a Sig P226 the other day and really enjoy the pistol. It shoots very well in my hands, it feels like a solid and well built machine, and I paid a decent price for it. All good things. There was one recurring problem and that was slide lock. It wouldn't. Let me restate that...

I'm looking to start shooting lead bullets in my centerfire pistols. I've read a bit about proper hardness for the round you shoot. I'm looking for what people have found to be actual issues or concerns when shooting handgun calibers with lead. I'm mostly looking at low pressure loads in 9mm...

The search for the right .357 has been a bit over the board, as it really has been a desire for a while. The 686 looked like a sure thing, but prices have been a bit steep locally and the right one hasn't presented. Had an SP101 with the 4" and adjustable sights pop up lightly used and well...

I'm looking to buy a lightweight rifle in .223 to shoot hand loads using a 62gr SS109 bullet. I bought them pre panic by the 5,000 box and I've got a lot to shoot. I run the bulk of these through a couple different AR rifles. I'd like to end up with a light weight bolt rifle that will shoot...

I'm at a crossroad and I'm a little stuck on what to do. I've never had problems finding rifles that fit me. I'm 6'3" and most adult sized rifles fit fairly well. The AR platform is one of those that fit well, especially with the standard 6 position carbine stock. My problem comes with my...

I'm looking to make some very light 9mm loads. I've got a CZ75 along with a complete recoil spring kit. This gun is purely a range toy. I've got a bunch of 124gr lead bullets to load. Since I'm not competing and don't need to make power factor I want to load these down as far as possible...

I've been looking at a new 9mm and have a little doubt in what to pick. Use is basically a range toy and something to admire. I don't play in any games and don't plan to use this for defense. Budget varies. I would say $1000 is about the max and less is better. I've considered an sti...

Looking to buy my first DA/SA revolver. I plan to use it mostly as a fun gun with the off chance that I might get into a little IDPA. Basically I'm looking for a very nice revolver that will be fun to play with as a range toy yet can be taken to an IDPA match if the desire arose. I've...

Looking to get a quality scope for paper punching. I've come down to these two options at this point. I'd like to have a variable magnification optic if I don't give up much from a quality point of view. Only other fixed optic in this range that I'm aware of is the Leupold Competition models...

I now have access to a real nice 100 yard private range. The range itself is very safe. The problem is that neighbors are common and the noise isn't appreciated. I've got a few nice rimfires that will be shot a bit there but I'm looking for an accurate round that is as quiet to the neighbors...

I've used a cheapo trap thrower from walmart for the last few years. Its tme for something nicer. Id like to stay with the spring launched manual type as I don't think I can justify the cost of an electronic thrower. What's the best manually cocked trap thrower out there? It needs to be able...

Pinned rear sight Colt goodness No markings on the barrel that I can see. Angle and lighting sucks or you could see that it has a NM float tube under those handguards. Crap staking, but almost no wear at all on the bolt/carrier. Here is the pic from the inside of the...

Ok, came into some cash recently and want to get back into the AR game. The requirements: Accurate, mostly to be shot at paper from the bench, prone with a sling, and from a bipod. Sub MOA if not at 1/2MOA or less with the right ammo. It will be used lightly for varmint hunting, though...

I'm looking to start shooting GSSF and IDPA matches. The GSSF seems pretty straight forward from an equipment list. Basically a Glock, a few mags, and ammo. IDPA though has me a little more stumped. I have a Glock 34 which I think is IDPA SSP legal. I'm not real sure as it sounds like a...

So the LGS has the T/C venture on sale for $350 and T/C is running a $50 rebate. So for $300 I figure I can toss one in the safe. Heard a bit of good about them. Now for the question. What caliber? They are running that price for .223, .22-250, and .308. Now, I really don't have a need for...

So I'm going to grab myself a new range toy. 9mm, hicap, probably polymer framed. Not a huge fan of the XD. I was thinking Glock 17, S&W M&P9, Ruger SR9, maybe the XD but don't know, CZ 75, um... Basically something full sized in 9mm that has a decent following with a good warranty and a good...

I'm looking to get a do it all O/U. Something I can take on the trap or skeet range as well as take out for dove or geese, though that may be more for the autoloader. Don't want dirt cheap, but certainly don't need custom top tier, something middle ground. I was thinking maybe Browning but...

Ok, question for all the people here on THR. How reliable has your LCP been. It seems some people think its extremely reliable and other think its a walking time bomb. I just wanted to see from actual experience what people have experienced with their LCP. I really am interested in post...

I was looking through the gun parts for a different project and realized I had a spare Mosin Nagant stock sitting around. After looking at it for a few minutes I thought my CZ 452 trainer was about the same dimension wise and may be a fairly close fit. It was a bit farther off than I thought...
