When it comes to firearms, what grinds your gears? For me, its idiots who don't take care of their firearms. :banghead: I had a Bersa Thunder380 a while back. I really liked it for conceal carry. I only had one real issue with it and that was with the exceptionally long beaver tail. It was...

What changes were made between the PPQ and the PPQ M2? Has there been any reliability issues with either model? Thanks

I've carried my Makarov PM for several years now. Every time I'd try something different I'd always run right back to my Mak. I've grown fond of the little 9x18 round and I've never felt under gunned with it. However, as time goes by I find the sights on the little Makarov a little more...

I am considering trying another Glock 19. My first Glock 19 was customized before I even shot it. Needless to say, it sucked. It suffered 5 light strikes out of only 280 rounds. The only thing I liked about it was the look of the customization. However, I was at my lgs this past weekend and...

I'm looking at maybe purchasing an Arcus 94, if I can find one. After we replaced the recoil spring on my friend's 94 I got to shoot it and was quite impressed. However, on the left side of the slide of his 94 is a label that says Miltex Inc. La Plata, Maryland USA. Is this just the importer...

I have a friend who has an Arcus 94 HP clone and he believes the recoil spring is weak. During shooting he has complained that the slide seemed to operate slower than his other pistols. I too shot it and I can tell you that it does seem to lag in operation. Although it hasn't jammed yet, he is...

I have a problem with my MN. Before firing, the bolt functions easily and smoothly. However, after each shot the bolt becomes increasingly more difficult to operate. By the 4th shot it becomes virtually impossible. My brother and I had to work together to force the bolt to finally move. I am...

As the events unfolded on Dec. 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary, the press put up file photos of the firearms supposedly used. We were told a Glock, Sig, and a Bushmaster were used. Then their coroner stated that most victims were shot multiple times with the Bushmaster. Now I can't sit and...

Hey everyone. I've not had much luck finding forums regarding the VEPR 54R rifle. Unlike the PSL, which is built for light ball ammo only, I'd like to know if heavy ball (185 - 200gr) can be safely and consistently used in the VEPR. It says that the VEPR has a thicker receiver and barrel and...

What's the verdict on shooting .44 Magnum out of a revolver with a 2.5 inch barrel? I've been told that shooting the .357 Magnum out of a snub nose does not fully burn all the powder and that for proper burn a barrel at least 3" long is required. If this is true of the .357 Magnum, is it also...

We are always told how wonderful Glocks are. If they are really as great as the Glockbots claim, why do they not hold their value? :mad:

I was at the gun shop today. As I was looking at a Ruger GP100, the salesman showed me a S&W 686. No plus, no dash, no extra numbers. He thought it might be from the 1980's. It was beautiful I admit. The trigger was to die for, like soft butter spread on a piece of hot toast. He was wanting...

I just read a story from the Ottawa Citizen online in an article dated September 27, 2011, that I find very disturbing. The article states that 19,000 Hi Powers used by the Canadian armed forces are being replaced by a new pistol. At the time of the article there had not been a decision as to...

I was looking over some of the open carry threads at opencarry.org. One term kept cropping up that I do not fully understand. Can some one explain the term "unincorporated" when referring to open carry? Thanks

I am considering a Ruger SR22. Has anyone purchased the SR22? What is your impression? How does it compare to the Walther P22? Is it made from the same materials used in the P22? Thanks

As unbelievable as this is, my Glock that I had traded away, has returned to me. I traded it to a friend of mine for cash and one of his firearms. We both thought it was a fair trade. However, he began to experience remorse over the firearm he traded me. Since I didn't want my friend to be...

I hang out at the local gun smith's shop, along with several other people. Most of them are LEO's, including the smithy. They know that I am not a Glock person. My main reason has always been the stupid grips. Well, after several months, I finally gave in and bought a Gen 3 G19. Here's what was...

Let me be first to say that my meal of crow is quite delicious and satisfying. Yummy. :uhoh: You see, I have always had a negative connotation towards Glock. Most of you who have read my past posts (under my old user name 2075 Rami) know this. This being because Glocks were not made to fit all...

I am thinking about getting involved in cowboy action shooting, maybe not competitively, mostly for fun. I've been looking seriously at the Uberti models because I can't afford an actual Colt or a USFA. I figured at this point the Uberti models would be the next best choice. However, I do have...

I've already read through some of the posts and opinions regarding the Heritage cowboy singles. However, one not mentioned (or maybe I missed it) was the EAA Bounty Hunter. Made in Germany, does anyone own one, shot one, sold/traded one? What was your opinion of them. I was looking at Buds...
