    Sigma Pistol

    My buddy owns one and I just shot it again today. It hasn't jammed, and the grip is decent for both our hands, plus for $300 new it's an unbeatable value. I hate the trigger though, and the gun definitely 'feels' like Smith and Wesson's bottom shelf offering...I bought a 4.25 M&P Pro Series a...

    Future AK pricing?

    Obviously no one here has a crystal ball to know exactly what's going to happen in the future, but I am wanting to purchase an AK (most likely an Arsenal SGL21), and could use some knowledge on what the pricing trend has been in the last few years and where you guys think it will go in the next...

    Issue w/ my scope on my .17

    I went to finally sight in a 17 hmr that I won a while back, and it has a (Simmons?) 3-9 power scope on it that I had laying around (it came as a scope package with a Savage 16). I mounted the scope just fine using Weaver quick detachable rings, but when sighting the rifle in I turned the dials...

    Ruger 10/22 and misfires

    Are you using stock magazines or aftermarket hi capacity ones? I also use bulk Federal; with the stock magazine it runs great but with hi cap mags it usually jams at least once or twice every 25 rounds. Though I take that as the magazine's fault and not the gun's.

    FNX-9 or P99

    No experience with the p99 but I just bought an FNP 9 as my first 9mm which is very similar to the FNX, and can tell you it's a great gun that really has that quality 'feel' when you hold it.

    Can't get 22/45 barrel/receiver off frame

    Yes; bolt is out and whacking the rear of the gun. Thanks for your reply

    FNH FNP vs. FNX

    It seems they did and that the issue was only with earlier models. I was just comparing the two and ended up getting an FNP but only because I found a good deal on a used one. I still would have preferred the FNX.

    FNH FNP vs. FNX

    Also, FNX has a safety/decocker rather than just decocker.

    Can't get 22/45 barrel/receiver off frame

    I've had a MK III 22/45 for several months but have not taken it all the way apart. It's had a few thousand rounds through it now and I'm trying to get the barrel/receiver off to clean it. I've been whacking it with a rubber mallet but it just won't budge. Any ideas for what I can do?

    FNX-9 for my next gun?

    An update; I went to the gun store yesterday to see what I'd get for an old shotgun of mine, and he gave me a deal on an FNP-9; $320 out the door for a used one in great condition. I love it so far! It feels amazing in my hand and just really seems like a quality gun. I plan on shooting the heck...

    Help me with getting a shotgun

    My first gun was a used 500 with wood furniture. It was around $190. There's not a lot that goes wrong with either of those guns so don't be afraid to buy used as long as it looks like it's in good shape and cycles well.

    FNX-9 for my next gun?

    Thanks for your feedback. Also, I understand that the stainless and black slides are both made of stainless steel, but will there be any difference in one being more resistant to scratches, rust, holster wear, etc.?

    FNX-9 for my next gun?

    I've had my first pistol, a 22/45, for several months now and am ready to purchase a 9mm handgun (now that my trigger finger can be satisfied with cheap .22 ammo :D). It will be mostly a range and home defense gun, but I would like to be able to conceal carry it as well in the winter (eventually...

    My brother needs advice: best 9mm brands $300-450(ish)?

    My buddy just bought a Sigma for $300 new, and it is a pretty decent gun to shoot. It's really just a knockoff glock, but it has a very comfortable grip and was accurate enough. For a budget gun I'd say it's a good place to start.

    Bodyguard or LCP?

    I was just looking at both side by side the other day and I would go with the LCP. I really like the Bodyguard, but the laser is not easy to activate, especially in a self defense type of scenario. Also, if you like the idea of keeping the safety of the Bodyguard engaged when carrying, you...

    10/22 Issue - Trigger Won't Reset After Firing

    Thanks for the replies. I looked into the trigger spring and plunger, but I'm by no means an expert on these, and there wasn't anything that stuck out or seemed abnormal. I tried the rifle again after putting it back together hoping for a miracle but no such luck...

    10/22 Issue - Trigger Won't Reset After Firing

    I've literally searched online for hours looking for an answer but can't find anything about a similar problem. I'm having an issue with my 10/22 where the trigger will not reset after firing. What happens is I can fire a round and it will cycle and load the next round into the chamber from...

    Castle Doctrine Laws in MN?

    I did a search but came up empty. I'm wondering what the law in Minnesota says about either your right or non-right to defending your home. For example, is it necessary first to try and retreat from your house, or is it legally presumed that an intruder is there to do you harm and you have a...

    870 for $250

    My first gun was a used Mossberg 500 for $192 after taxes. I shot tons of ducks with it in the 5 years it was my only shotgun, and did have the occasional issue but only with Remington magnum shells. Federals were always perfect. I've used both the 500 and 870 and know several people with each...

    Benelli shotguns kick too hard?

    I've had a SBEII for 5 years and love it! I use it exclusively for my waterfowl and upland hunting, as well as trap and skeet. Probably at least 5000 rounds through it and it works like new. It's recoil has never been an issue for me, and is much less than the Moss. 500 I had previous to it, and...
