I've been doing carry ammo research, so I've been absorbing a lot of data, and one thing has been bugging me. If our standard for carry ammo is the FBI requirements, and if shot placement is key, why carry hollow points if an fmj can be made to fit FBI standards? (I'm not saying this is gospel...

I have this Rossi 351 that I've turned into a project gun, and I'm trying to find compatible springs to lighten the trigger pull from 14 pounds to something decent. I've looked all over forums, emailed manufactures and I've found nothing on what springs might work. I could cut coils, but I'd...

I see a lot of people on forums saving their ammo, because they don't want to be stuck with none. I completely understand that impulse, but I'm not going to do that. Between not shooting ammo I have and just being without ammo, I think I'd rather be without. At least that way I'll have a little...

I'm looking for where I can buy spare parts for a Rossi .38 special model R351. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm trying to learn how to gunsmith and I have a revolver I'm willing to sacrifice to practice and I know I'm going to ruin some part of it. I was just wondering where I could buy...

I have been thinking about starting to carry a back up, but I haven't decided on how I'm going to carry it. It would either be my Bersa thunder CC .380 to back up my Kahr PM9 or it will be my PM9 backing up my XD-45 compact. So if you do carry a back up where do you carry it?

I've been thinking about getting a little gun for when I go hiking. I've probably got some pistols that would work, but I don't want to worry about messing them up. I've mostly been thinking of one of the NAA mini revolvers, like the Earl or the Black widow. Weight is a big issue because...

Does anyone have one of these? I'm curious about getting one, but I'm not sure of the process. Does it need to be fitted or does it come ready to go? I've always wanted a little carry piece with some nice engraving work done on it. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I just bought a new Kahr PM9 with crimson trace laser sights. I'm looking to experment with some new 9mm ammunition and I was wondering what loads and brands you guys carried in 9mm. I've been told to stay away from 147 grain. I'm not sure of the validity. Just wondering what you guys...

I'm looking to get a new pistol. I've been carrying a Bersa Thunder CC .380 now since it's been getting hot in my neck of the woods, but I always feel bad leaving my .45 or 9mm at home. So I've been looking for something that packs more of a punch but is small. I've been looking at the Kahr...

I was wondering if anyone on the thread had any experience with it. I'm mostly concerned with the bulk it might add because it is my main carry gun. If it makes the grip just slightly bigger it wouldn't be so bad but if it makes it huge I don't think I'll be interested.

Wondering if anyone had any experience with this rifle. I like it because it takes standard m-16 mags which I have several from when I was in the military. Any thoughts. I'm sure someone is going to say to get an AR-15 but I don't have the cash and will not have the cash for a long time...

Something I have run in to a lot while I have bought firearms. I am only 24 years old and when I walk into a gun store they almost never give me the time of day. I'll have 5 or 6 hundred dollars in my pocket to buy a gun right then and there and everyone just stares at me like I don't have any...

I just got my first leather holster and have no idea how to take care of it. Am I supposed to do anything special to make it last or do I just use it till it wears out? It didn't come with instructions on care.

I was thinking about the variations in which people can carry a concealed firearm and was wondering how you guys carried. As in strong side, crossdraw, small of back, outside of waist band, inside waist band, what kind of cover garments you use. Do you ever carry off body? I personally...

I was wondering why people have caliber loyalty? I was wondering why people think that .45 ACP or 9mm is the best thing ever. I have several pistols in several calibers both in 9mm and .45 ACP. I was just wondering what makes someone a die hard 9mm or .45 ACP fan? Second question...

I have a stoeger cougar, which is the bereta cougar 8000 made in turkey. I have yet to find a good holster for it. I have found holsters that "work", but they are usually generic and painfull. Is there anyone who has found an awesome holster for this pistol and where can I find it?

I don't know if it is just me, but I every time I pick up a gun magazine they either praise every single peice of **** gun in the magazine or they have a review on a gun that might be worth having but the picture they show is a gun that has had $300 worth of customization on it. Example...

I've been interested in one of these pistols for summer carry. My capacity 9mm is a little to bulky for comfortable summer carry and I want something with a little more bang, but won't compromise on size. I went down to my local gun shop and they wanted 675.99 for a new in box. Is that a...

While reading a gun rag the other day and thinking about how it is just filled with polymer framed guns and 1911s, I thought why don't they make a polymer framed pistol, but styled as a 1911. Same looks, same features, same action. It would just be a 1911 with a polymer frame. Wouldn't it...

Funny thing happened while I was at a gun shop the other day. I was trading my Walther P22 toward a new pistol and while I'm filling out the paper work one of the people that works there goes to take it to their indoor range to test out the P22. He goes in and we don't hear any firing. He...
