Well that does it. I wasn't sure if the ballistic tip was a varmint bullet or not but lack of entry on a groundhog means it's certainly got no place in a defensive weapon...

Ok, we all know it's hard to find ammo in stock for your 5.56/.223 My first choices are all out of stock everywhere I've looked but I found some DoubleTap loaded .223 with Nosler Ballistic tips. Anyone have any insight, would recommend these bullets or recommend I keep looking? I just...

Wow!! Nice new toys, now you get to play with accessories! Maybe I just don't know because I've never shot one, but doesn't the brass from that bull-pup style rifle end up in your armpit??? Looks like it ejects quite far back.

I find the hardest thing to do is prevent myself from paying too much attention to the shots from the guys next to me. I have a tendency to try to time my shots to occur in between theirs, so that I have a better likelihood of avoiding the flinch induced by my neighbor's shot. I've never...

Ok, so I'm looking for a quad rail for my Olympic amrs AR-15. There is one offered by the weapon manufacturer for about $100, which comes with "a barrel nut and tension bolts". My question is why? I take it this guard doesn't install via the spring and collar like the standard hand guards do...

Funny how B. Hussein Obama says he is both FOR the unconstitutional DC gun ban, and FOR the 2nd amendment. Depends on whether you believe the Obama who has been against the 2nd amendment since he entered politics, or the Obama during the last three weeks of the campaign while essentially running...

So, I decided to buy an AR before Obama bans them, trouble is everyone else had the same idea. I looked online, everything was out of stock. I went to my local gun shop, they quickly looked at their distributors stock, and came back with 6 options. Of those 6 only two were collapsible...

Here in Washington my combo license came with a Bigfoot tag this year, just said I had to send in a premolar to Fish & Wildlife for population study. I just can't decide between a rug and a European mount!!!

I have a 44 mag tracker as a hunting sidearm. While I do recommend replacing that idiotic "ribber" grip it comes with, the gun is great! Quite accurate, light for packing, packs a big punch, and rides unobtrusively on the hip when hiding in the grasses on the edge of a clearcut. The two things...

The only guns in the gym should be your bulging biceps! But seriously, if you CAN carry while lifting, ditch the membership and save yourself the money. You can't properly do squats, deads, dips, curls etc and be packing. I lock my weapon in my locker with a properly built lock while hitting...

Every time I see these _vs_ debates, I browse through them to see if there is any data, there never is. If anyone is serious about this question, not just bored and looking to light a fire, I'd love to know where one can find actual data. As in civilian shootings by number of shots, caliber...

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2008075512_reading27.html Yet another reason to ALWAYS carry your concealed carry, you never know when you will be attacked, vehicle vandalized, beaten by a mob of neo-anarchists!

So, I'm seriously considering a G30 here soon, and recently saw the screw on holsterless belt clip online. I'm wondering if other people use them and like them, and how they carry their gun when they do. In particular, I don't like the idea of NOT having a round up the pipe, but yet without...

My girlfriend is on the Seattle Police Dept. She is better with a glock than me. (well, she had better be right?) She can shoot fast and hit her target with 40 cal and packs as often as I do when she is off duty. She doesn't like my 44 mag though. It's a mass thing. I weigh 220, she weighs...
