    Wilson 870 extension problem

Upon receiving the kit, I immediately installed the provided follower, spring, and extension. I then attempted to load five Estate brand 00 buck shells, but could only fit four shells in...

    Springfield Hellcat and XDM Elite Series

    Hey yall. I recently switched my EDC to a Hellcat earlier this year from a M&P9 2.0 subcompact and have never looked back.

    Help deciding on a new carry piece

    Hey yall. I've been throwing around the idea of getting a new concealed carry gun for awhile now. My current carry gun is an M&P9 2.0 subcompact, which has been awesome for me and the wife.

    Hey yall. I recently purchased one of the Brownells Retro AR scopes for my A1 build rifle (Fulton Armory pencil upper with 1x8 Criterion barrel, chrome lined).

    Going back to an M&P!

    Hey yall. Back in December, I decided to try the P320 Carry, my first and only Sig. I fell in love with the gun, it is accurate and easy for me to shoot well.
