Would any of you feel comfortable carrying cocked and locked 1911 just tucked in waistband, no holster? My concern would be thumb safety coming off. I know there's still the grip safe, sometimes I don't like fiddling with a holster.:scrutiny:

Hi, I had posted a thread asking about applying gun kote to a stainless steel Kahr, which I may or may not do. But regarding proper care of stainless steel, which we all know can rust, my understanding is that what actually protects s/s is surface oxidation and that the surface needs contact...

I'm considering applying Brownell's gun kote to a Kahr k40 stainless. When they say dissasemble does this mean fieldstrip or completely dissasemble, ie. firing pin, springs etc.?:confused:Anyone have any personal experience. Can it safely be baked on in gas oven?

Okay, I know there is a lot of different opinions on the best weapon for HD, ie. shotgun vs. handgun etc. And I guess different situations warrant different responses. This probably sounds funny, but I'm not sure which is the best choice, and a stressful situation such as a breakin is...

Hi, could someone explain to me the difference between the Remington 870 Tactical and the 870Police. I know that the tactical has 'tactical' on the receiver and has factory 2 shot extention, remchoke breacher tube, also has the gun metal powder coat finish which is suppose to be more durable finish.

I'm wondering about using buffer shields on saiga 12 shotgun. It seems like a good idea on the one hand ie. increasing life of gun, but I have read that it can cause a host of problems of it's own. If it causes less pounding and wear on gun that sounds good. But you have to wonder if its needed...

Okay, I've got to ask a stupid question, but on the Saiga 12 shotgun, what is the dual position of gas-cylinder stopper? It says use position 1 for 12/76 shells and position 2 for all others. I'm not familiar with this. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I'm wondering what's your alls opinions of the glaser safety slugs, say, with a 45 acp 1911. I'm talking how well they work, not overpenetrating, and reliability. Are these a worthy consideration for HD?

Hi, I've got a recently purchased 870 express for HD. I see a lot of posts about how 870's (express) rusting is a problem. I was wondering about a special coating such as duracoat, or parkerizing. I know most importantly keeping gun clean and oiled, but is that enough. It gets very humid where...

I recently bought an 870 express (HD purpose only) with 2 rd. extention. Haven't shot it yet but most people seem to reccomend against the pistol grip. Does that apply even if it has the knox compensating grip stock as well?

Hi, I have a Rem. 870 express with factory 2 shot extension. It's stricly for HD. If I would have of had the money at the time I would have bought a marine model or police. I can't to get too expensive but I would like to do some basic upgrades that might be useful, such as triger guard upgrade...

Hi, I've been looking at getting a shotgun for HD, preferably a Rem. 870 express. The problem is I can't afford to just buy it out right. Thinking about trading my Ruger p90. I think handguns are good for home defense, but wondering if it's wise to part with one to get HD shotgun.

Due to curent events, I'm considering narrowing down to just a few ammo calibers. Obviously this will limit funtionality of guns, but I don't really hunt, so I'm wondering your opinions on having maybe as few as one or two caliber weapons. I like 45 acp but I mostly target shoot, plink, and for...

Just currious anyone own strictly autos, or strictly revolvers. I like a mix of both myself, but just wondering if some stick with just one or the other.

I'm wondering if any of you have bought a SRH Alaskan more-less just because it's a really neat gun. I honestly have no need, ie. (none bear country), just to plink, target shoot, and HD. What kind of accuracy with practice could be expected?

I have a ruger redhawk 4 inch 45 colt, beautiful gun, IMHO, but I don't reload and don't plan to anytime soon. I like it but it's too darn expensive to shoot. Should I trade it for something cheaper, (to shoot that is), or just sit on it till I can afford to buy reloading equipment. Is there a...

Well, it seems, like a lot things, ruger semi-autos, you either love em or hate em. I shot a ruger p95 yesterday and I was very impressed. Reliability was perfect, althought I only shot 100 rounds. Accuracy I actually put a couple shots in same hole, very tight grouping all around. I'll have to...

hi, I normally post more in revolver forum, but I recently bought a rock island armory 1911 commander. I haven't shot it yet but earlier tonight after taking it out and wiping it down with oil rag I noticed rust on the slide serrations. I can only see it when shining flashlight on it. I plan to...

Hi, well I'm in a quandary about whether or not to scope my super redhawk. I didn't buy it specifically for hunting, although I know it's pretty much geared towards that. I like to just take it plinking, or target shooting sometimes. truthfully it will probably see a lot more of this than...

Hi, I'm wanting advice concerning semi autos for HD. I like, and own a 1911and know they're intended to be cond. 1 (cocked and locked), but I also would like to keep a ruger p95 da/sa with decocker loaded. I don't want to sound like an idiot, but to avoid any mishap or confusion ie. (stress...
