I shoot a lot better with my NY1+3.5# connector G21SF than my G17 with stock 5.5#. Is the NY1+3.5# a workable set-up for production? I know most people that get serious about USPSA like to get the 2-3# triggers - but I'd like my production piece to be carry/defense friendly. I figure with...

When I insert a fully loaded mag, I have to give it a little extra umph for it to seat in position. The magazine release (ambidextrous - 3rd Gen) also get's stiff as a board. This is the only Glock I have with the ambi release and this issue. Is this normal or should I have my Glock checked...

I've been shooting production for about a year now and I want to try out limited (and I want to buy something new with tax refund money). *** 1. The case for the Glock 17L Can a gun with minor power factor compete at all? I really want a Glock 17L.... with the 6" barrel it gets some...

I use a stock 5.5# trigger for USPSA/IPSC, and the NY1 trigger for CCW (personal preference). I am wondering if anyone has the equipment or the data of what the trigger pull weights are for the following combinations. NY1+ 5.5# connector = ??? NY1 + 3.5# connector = ??? Standard + 5.5#...

This isn't meant to be inflammatory. I'm interested in the PS90 because I'm left handed and it's really hard finding a true ambidextrous rifle out there. I've thought about a Stag 15L, but I am not a huge fan of ARs. I realize the 5.7x28 is a compromise round, I just want to know if it...

Looking at a S&W MP15. All options are within $50 of each other. All have flat-top uppers and Troy BUIS. 1) Classic stock 2) Magpul Stock 3) Quad-rail forend At most I just want to put a light on it. Is there any reason to get the quad rail forend? Between the classic stock and...

I've been torn. I've spent months on internet forums and pondering in my office what my ideal defensive rifle would be. I think I am about to be finished thinking. Ruger Mini-14 tactical, regular black synthetic stock with the flash hider on the end for improved barrel harmonics. Add XS...

Still on the search for a favorite .357 loading but I am limited by what is commercially available, and waiting for some extra cash to bulk order buffalo bore or double tap. So here is what I have now: Speer 125 gr .38 +p gold dot Speer 135 gr .357 magnum gold dot (for short barrel) Blazer 158...

Anyone used one of these? I want one for my Glock 36, may get more if I like the first one. Can the shirt be tucked in over it? I want an IWB holster that will allow me to tuck in my shirt.

I know, I know. Overpenetration. But is overpenetration still a concern if you live on a few acres and your nearest neighbor is at least 100 yards away? My thinking is that with ghost ring sights, a slug can be as accurate as a pistol caliber carbine and effective to about the same range...

I like the big holes of the 45 ACP, but I think it's universally agreed that the .357 magnum is effective. I prefer a revolver in home defense for the simple fact that they are super reliable. I am trying to pick a load. Right now I have 125 gr. Speer Gold Dot .38 +P ammo in it - for a...

It's going to be a do-everything gun. The stainless looks slightly better, but I think in a home defense gun the last thing I want is a shiny, reflective beacon. I figure as long as I put some Remoil or CLP on it every now and then, keep it dry and clean, the blued finish should work just...

At the top of my price range, Weatherby Vanguard. Interested in a Tikka T3, but I think it tops my price range. Mossberg 100 ATR. Marlin XL7. Remington 710/770 (not a fan of most Remmy products nowadays, they seem sub-par whether it's the 870's or UMC ammo). Just curious if you were on...

This is NOT, I repeat, NOT intended to be a .357 mag vs 45 acp thread. What I am wondering is what is the cause of the .357 magnum's mythic status of uber-stopping power? .45 has a bigger diameter, and with 230 grains has quite a bit more weight than the 125-158 .357 range, but I do know...

My Marlin 336 is probably my favorite. Just a question about lever-guns in general. Is there any way to make the action smoother? When I operate the lever, the last 25% of the way isn't very smooth. Is this just the mechanics of the rifle or did I do something wrong when I took it apart...

I have one of those Rossi 22/410 single-shots with the interchangeable barrels. It has a plastic youth stock and fiber optic sights (on the .22 barrel). I was wondering if I should put a scope on it. It's really just for plinking, but I would like it to double as a survival type rifle...

I was just curious on the high round count carbine classes.... if it seems like certain models of rifle/carbine seem to be more unreliable than others? I've heard of people running hi-points that are more reliable that AR's and just about every urban myth that persists on the internet. I'm...

Is the Glock 26 (and other calibers) suited for pocket carry? How does it compare to a Smith and Wesson J-frame or a Glock 36 in dimensions?

Just an idea I had after seeing the cover of one of those Clint Smith/Thunder Ranch advertisements where he has a light hooked up to a SxS shotgun. Is it feasible/advisable/beneficial to rig a Surefire to a 30-30 or SxS for HD? If so, how would you do it (other than duct tape)?

In a hypothetical situation, if you couldn't have an EBR what would you want in its place? Just curious because I went to a local gun shop the other day and EBR's are way over-priced (as they will be for a while) but lever-actions, deerfield carbines, and mini-14's were all under budget and it...
