Just out of curiousity I wonder which are the "top" 5 firearm forums?

I seem to visit THR & GlockTalk the most. (I don't even like Glocks, but they have a great "other gun" section.) The Smith & Wesson forum I like, but wish they offered a sub-section for "other guns".. "Family,Friends & Firearms" and "The Firing Line" I like, as well as KTOG for my KelTec interests..

What great firearms forum am I missing?

Just Curious.


Thanks,

J. Pomeroy
 
Here are the ones I visit.
In order from most visited to least:

http://thehighroad.org/index.php

http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=8&f=34 Carolinas Hometown and Build it

http://www.handgunforum.net/index.php

http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/index.php Responsible for most of my Milsurp purchases.

http://www.coloradocarry.com/index.php?referrerid=111 Sis/BIL and Mom are in the Springs so I like to stay current on CO issues so I know what is going on when I visit.

The only other forum I visit as regularly as THR is the SIG forum. I also check in at the Smith & Wesson and Ruger forums somewhat regularly. Occasionally I will read the Firing Line.

So my top 5 would be:
THR
SIG
Smith & Wesson
Ruger
TFL
 
I think AR15.com is the biggest that I know of.

After that, THR, GT, TFL, and maybe FALfiles.com are among the biggest.

There are websites where you can actually look up this information.
 
Wow, didn't realize that. I always thought ARFCOM was a bigger board than us, surprising.

Surprised me too, I always thought arfcom had way more posts than here.

Surprised that 1911forum is that big, too. Always thought it felt smaller. Guess I only look at the slower moving subforums there.
 
I belong to some very good adult oriented firearm forums. These seem to be successful without the need of moderators and they lack the locked threads that are so prevelant in other forums. These forums are fun, and have a strong feeling of friendship and sharing.
I am going to keep those secret. :rolleyes:
 
The ones I visit regularly are:

THR
Armslocker
16ga.com (thanks sm!)
northeastshooters.com (another direct from a member of THR)
NAHC forums
 
Here are some online comparison statistics for a multitude of forums.

http://www.big-boards.com/kw/guns/

In the gun category, we're actually the 2nd most active gun board there is.
that's a neat link. didn't know they had things like that. i am definetly a die har highroader, i normally go to ar15.com to sell stuff it seems to go quickes there. and i am on xdtal.com alot because it has so much to do with the xd's and i can't gt enough info on xd's!:)

still yet i am very partial o THR I like the people and i like the topics. great site.
 
Im not going to say what other forum I might go to out of respect.Seems to me that would sorta be like taking a girl on a date and asking her more questions about her sister rather than her.If there was particular bit of info regarding a certain subject I might mention somewhere else or a link.

I enjoy this place,I like going a wee bit off topic sometimes,it breaks the routine but some other forums I've see they talk more about other stuff rather than guns.And I mean that,a general discussion section should be good for off topic conversation,but a couple gun forums I ve seen have more off topic sections like "sports cars" and "sports" then about guns.
