I am thinking of getting a Blade-tech NANO to conceal a Glock 17. Does anyone have any experience with this holster? It is very appealing to me because it is very thin and my leather holster adds a lot of thickness to an already thick firearm. Thanks.

I already know that I can't carry in MD. My question is are there any strange handgun laws in MD that would make possession of a handgun a problem? I would have locked in vehicle, unloaded while in MD and then store at my final destination (in MD) for the duration of my visit. This trip is...

After an 18 month or so hiatus I finally made it to my second match. Was more like shooting a 1st match again with the advantage of knowing what to expect. For the newbs out there that are thinking of going to a match here are some observations/suggestions. Apparel: 1) Comfortable and...

The thought crossed my mind as I was changing my infant son and wearing my carry piece. When is a good time to introduce the concept of firearms specifically not talking about family business to everyone who will listen.

1st - Current times means RIGHT NOW. TODAY. This week. Ammunition is hard to find or overpriced. That is just a fact of life at the moment. It may not be that way in a few more weeks or months. Also, note that this is just an example. Other than illustrating a point it doesn't have much...

I've had my P22 for 2 years. I have gone back and forth with the gun. I like it for cheap plinking but always found its accuracy lacking. Then I shot my first IDPA match. Then I took my P22 to the range again after said IDPA match. Now it makes sense. Realistic controls, a whole...

I am very tempted to get a G31. I don't even know why. Something about a bottleneck cartridge, ultra-cheap once fired brass, 9mm projectiles so getting jacketed around 7cents a piece is doable AND the projectiles are usable for 9mm Luger (assuming 124 or 125gr, large bearing surface, short...

I know there is another "first match" thread below and I even posted in it. However I wanted to post a little more about my own impressions and observations without hijacking another post. I shot the match with my Glock 17, using an Alessi IWB holster. I had the belt too tight and that...

gun show today pretty good experience, evil guns were overpriced but not moving at all, I think we've stabilized there for supply and demand. magazines were going for retail, but in stock so that's better than backordered friend found a nice war era, non-peened Soviet capture K98 that...

For those that want accuracy defined. 1/2 or better MOA. I know that the action is your building block to the accurate rifle, but what makes a custom $1000 action more accurate than a say a surplus Mosin Nagant or Mauser Action? I'm looking for the technical reasons they are better, not just...

Yes..I know...this has been discussed to death. Anyways, I handload, my friend's and I are discussing an Elk hunt in a couple years in Wyoming. I have a Mosin Nagant M44 and a Garand. Obviously not Elk hunting rigs. debate is: Go with a .30-06 rifle, already set up for reloading...

I finally ordered my Garand from CMP. I am also making my Ruger 10/22 into a mini-me Garand (techsights and a sling). Service grade SA. Went back and forth between SA and HRA, saw great examples of each, decided to go with the SA. Next stop...some .30-06 dies.

Finally decided how to spend my hard earned cash. Would like to buy a Ruger 10/22. What prices are people seeing for them at either big box or local place?

Thanks to everyone that responded in earlier threads. 1st, I tried some new ammo (brass cased 7.62x54R 150gr sp) in my M44 and 2nd, I put a slip on recoil pad onto the gun. SUCCESS! 3" groups at 100 yards, sights were pretty well regulated, basically POA=POI at 100 yards. Gigantic...

I "bit the bullet" and bought some PRVI 7.62x54R 150gr SP rounds to test out. I measured it in the calipers and it was a nice 0.311" not quite 0.312"!!! I am pretty happy about that, my bore is 0.313" so this should shoot a bit better than the 0.310" silver bear I have been using. The...

I have an M44 and plan on getting a K31 Most of the ranges in Austin require SP or HP ammo...so no surplus :-( 1st) Anyone know anything about the Hotshot 150gr SP 7.62x54R? Looks to be $150/400 rounds from Century Arms. Any good? Comparable to silver bear/golden bear/brown bear? I've...

I stopped at a pawn shop on the way home to see what they had and noticed a single shot Glenfield .22LR. Gun fit okay, stock wasn't too small. However, it was $80. I thought it seemed a little high. Quasi-rough shape, far from perfect. I didn't look down the bore. I thought it was only...

Looking to get another rifle, plinking and target, probably not used for hunting. 50-100 yards, iron sights. $350 would be about the limit, leaves me $$$ for ammo or reloading supplies. I am probably a month away from making the purchase, so I am trying to narrow down my options. I have a...

I can't even remember the last time I posted... Of the people that know I like to shoot, they know that I always have a standing invite to go shooting if they want to go. My friend calls me up Sat. and says his girlfriend wants to go shoot and try a handgun for the first time. I loaded up...

It was a great day so I played took off work and hit up the range. Now I am not the greatest shot in the world (far from it) but I did notice that I wasn't as terrible as some of my guns would make me think. I shot my P22, Glock 17 and Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt (5.5" barrel). P22 was...
