Here's a link to the page with their results and testing criteria: http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/ They tested 117 different types of defensive ammunition between 4 calibers, .380ACP, 9mm, .40S&W, and .45ACP. The table near the bottom of the page graphs...

Also, I made a quick map to help you get your bearings and to mark a few noteworthy sellers. West end is the upper level

+1 on a good backpack. They don't check bags going in so throw some food in there. Also, take cash in small bills because individual sellers may not have change. I would actually caution you against moving too fast. Granted, I'm pretty fit, but I usually find that I powerwalk through the...

I just bought a gorgeous used FNH SC1 shotgun. I believe it's essentially a dressed up Winchester 101. What I didn't realize was that it has a recoil-reset trigger. I know Stoegers use this method but when dry firing, it seems like I have to hit the butt really hard to get the trigger to reset...

Franchi I-12 sporting. All the features of a Benelli Sport II for about 600 bucks cheaper. Lightweight, well-balanced, and very reliable.

The Cynergy is definitely something I'm interested in. I'm 5'10" and 175lbs so 90% of factory guns fit me just fine. I'll have a hard time not snagging a Cynergy if I can afford one. I really like the simple-yet-aggressive styling and it does certainly look less 2x4-ish feeling than the Citori.

Thanks! I had always heard mixed reviews of the Red Labels. Checking on armslist nationally I should be able to find several Beretta 68x models in my range, as well as Onyx models. They seem a little more refined in terms of feel. I know the Citori's last, but they feel like a 2x4 to me. I'd...

Okay, so the big gunshow in Tulsa is coming up in a few weeks and I'll be looking for a dedicated skeet gun. What manufacturers should I be looking for? So far, I know that Browning, SKB, Winchester, and Beretta are safe bets, but are there any other I should be aware of that may...

Browning's lowest priced Citori is the Satin Hunter I think. Sometimes goes for as little as $1100 at Dick's. I believe it will shoot up to 3.5" shells as well. That would be my pick for a double to put heavy loads through. As far as a side by side, I'm not sure what to recommend, but a SxS...

Dan Wesson Guardian. 9mm 1911 with a bobtail frame.

You can clearly see the biker intentionally brake-check and stop the SUV from in front. He looks directly at the driver as he slows down. Also, in the video it appears that someone attempts to open the driver door during the first stop, which caused the driver to gun it. No matter what happened...

Oh God, I loved Tremors! Well, not so much tremors 3 or 4, but 1 and 2 were great!

Yeah as soon as someone said copyright I was like "dang, you got me there!" Does anyone know what exactly would be a copyright issue? Certainly the use of the Jurassic Park logo, and perhaps the In-gen logo as well. But say I paint a rack that mentions the colonial Marines from Aliens and...

Hmmm, I remember buying a bunch of their ammo maybe 5 or 6 years ago and it being just fine. I've actually still got some of their .223 which has been great. I've also shot their .357 magnum, 9mm and .38 special loads without incident. I mean, I guess it's the risk you take buying...

You could potentially still get a decent deal on a .22LR rifle or pistol if someone has given up hope on ever seeing .22 ammo again. Honestly, the best bargain hunting time is past, and to cash in on that you had to have a high-capacity rifle to trade. I traded a Century C93 ($600 gun) for a...
