    What will my granddaughter shoot in Navy boot camp?

    Five years ago the course involved a Kimar made Beretta copy for familiarizing people with the controls and handling. The training on the range was accomplished first with weapons modified to "cycle" with air pressure and a laser to identify hits, followed by live fire of the M9,M500, and M4...

    What Would You Choose As the M9's Replacement?

    FNP Series offer the light weight of the Glock/M&P with the manual safety and de-cocking feature, all made in the US, by a company we already have multiple contracts and a long history with. They have the rails, optic mount and the suppressor threading already installed.

    30 cal. RNSP - Why so hard to find?

    I imagine a lot of the popularity of pointed tips is based on reliability of feeding in semi automatics.

    Concealed Carry Myths

    Navy is the same. If you have a sidearm, its Condition 1 at all times. Rifles and Shotguns are Condition 3 unless threat level warrants Condition 1.

    looking for a good 40 S&W fullsize frame

    I'll cast another vote for FNP-40. Great quality at a decent price, and FN has been enabling our "addiction" here in the States for many many years.

    100 Years From Now

    That's why I think eventually the M9 will be lumped in with 1911's, Glocks and SIG's. There's about to be a whole generation of veterans who only know the M9, and no matter how much we dislike them, there's always something to be said about that which you grew up with. Think about how...

    Why I don't trust a Glock

    "...who lives at the apartment building at 1751 Hemlock St., dropped the Glock pistol around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday. The gun, a model commonly used by police..."

    Report and Review: Beretta Cx4- Pistol Caliber Carbine in 45ACP

    So what exactly is the point of whining about OP's accuracy? That doesn't seem like a very constructive venture to me. At the LGS, every now and then I'll rent out their CX4, and Find it to be a great little carbine, but they are using the 9mm version with magazines for the 92 series...

    Rounds, to count, or not to count?

    The Navy keeps a logbook with each firearm so every time it is used the rounds are accounted for. Also, the military apples a life span to the weapons so the logbook will get a "Half Life" stamp when that time comes. The M9 I carried received its Half Life stamp and inspection at 10,084 rounds...

    Marlin Glenfield Model 60 question

    I recently purchased a Marlin Glenfield M60, and it has no serial number as well. Prior to '68 it was not a requirement to have a serial number on a firearm. Happy shooting!

    VA CCW, valid in Ann Arbor, Michigan?

    Hello all, I too will be headed to MI this summer. I was wondering if there would be any issues sending some rounds down range on land owned by my in laws? Rural area outside Jackson, MI. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Say, CG, You're a killer, right?

    Realistically there shouldn't be an issue at all, the manager was supporting our sport by giving him ammo. I'd take a few jokes at my expense for some ammo any day of the week. It seems we sometimes get out of hand with the sensitivity and need for positive reinforcement. If they didn't like...

    Sig226 vs Beretta 92FS?

    A lot of disdain for the M9/ 92 series comes from the military, from what I have seen the sidearms are not always well taken care of, or get worn. This coupled with the not always wonderful quality of military ammo leads some people to lose faith in the Beretta design. They are both...

    Chicago Gun Laws!!

    Being an NY resident, I regret to find myself in your same situation when I go back home. The bright side, is that most reputable manufacturers are aware of the bans, and can supply 10 round capacity magazines with new firearms, or at a small price. Happy shooting!

    Keeping a pump shotgun fully loaded and its affect on the magazine spring?

    OP, I do not leave my Mossberg chambered, but I do load to capacity. A small tip for when its 0200 and some goblin decides to go wandering about causing harm, is to clear the gun, pull the trigger and then safety the gun prior to loading your tube. This removes the step of pushing in the...

    Best full size .40 S&W handgun?

    FNP-40, or if you like cocked and locked, the FNX-40. Both are extremely reliable, and have the now common interchangeable back straps. Take-down is just like a SIG, and if suppressors are your game, EFK Firedragon makes threaded barrels for less than $200. Holsters used to be difficult to...

    Upstate NY State Range Indian Lakes

    IIRC, the state land up by Moose River is mostly fair game. It's where we went when I was growing up, free and theres plenty of sand berms for backstops.
