Pics? Okay major nube alert here; going to see if this works.

I think the grip may fit your hand better than you think. My sister-in-law shot the gun and didn't find it too difficult. Agreed on the price increase; however I do think they are putting out a higher-quality gun than they used too.... might just be my perception. I understand they make the...

I picked up my first Rock Island Armory pistol yesterday, the Ultra FS HC (best I can tell, that stands for "full size, high capacity") in 10mm, model #52009. It's a new gun and I want to post a quick review here in case you guys are interested. It's a standard size 1911, but a double-stack...

I have owned both, and I'd go with the Ruger SR-1911. My RIA is nice, probably just as nice as the Ruger but the Ruger is made in the U.S. and is stainless. My brother still owns the Ruger and he loves it. Both are reliable, high value, accurate guns. Never had a problem with either of them. I...

Semi-auto>revolver I've shot Taurus revolvers and they seemed fine; their owners usually have good reports, but it seems like they make more lemons than Ruger, Smith or Colt. If my wife were bent on carrying a revolver, I'd probably try to talk her into one that had a longer barrel. She...

Well, you're not going to believe this, but I actually got her a .32 acp Kel tec. She likes it but doesn't shoot it much... I use it as a back-up carry most of the time. She is just going to take more time before she is interested in carrying a firearm for self-defense.

Ah, range brass.... It's a beautiful thing! One of the many things that make reloading so much cheaper. I've found two ranges locally where they don't care if you pick up all that you can carry. Went to a match in Edmond and they had buckets of it.....:what:

Beginner here... I just started reloading last year but here's my opinion: Test out your loads. If you start having problems with primers coming loose after shooting a round, then you need to be more picky. I've never had a problem with loose primers and I've got tons of .45 acp brass...

Yeah .327 Federal Magnum may be a great cartridge, but again, we're interested in more than just the amount of energy it produces. Also, someone said "energy equals mass times velocity squared" earlier....which is not the case. Kinetic energy = 1/2 mass x (velocity squared) Momentum is...

Well now I'm quite aware of the various bullet weights vs velocity and the whole "KE vs Momentum" debate, being a physics teacher. I just find it very odd that some people seem to think that .38 is perfectly adequate and a 9mm is woefully underpowered. Haha I don't worry too much about...

Looking to buy a revolver for the wife, and the Ruger LCR is at the top of my list. A friend owns one, and let me shoot a few cylinders through it. Awesome gun. Amazingly light and accurate. My geekyness kicked in and I started researching .38 special, since I don't know much about revolvers in...

Agreed I think before they try to take away the 2nd amendment completely they will require gun registration. So we have to be careful to elect people that would never go along with that... and if it ever does happen, well, there's the writing on the wall. I believe similar situations happened...

I'm next on my LGS waiting list, and he's gotten 3 in just about every month, so I'm expecting a call any day now. He's charging $600. I'd wait dude, do a little shopping and get one for a better price.

What age? No age, just teach as opportunity arises. Which is basically what everyone else said :D Nutnfancy also has a great series of videos on the subject. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrorxilPMFo I would consider this almost an exhaustive study on the subject! And good for those of...

Awesome! I think you will be pleased. All the .22 snobs (no offense guys :) don't get it.... lol I spent $200 on my 10/22 and don't feel the need to spend more. That's the short and long of it. Sure, a Mercedes is worth the price, but I'm happy with my Honda. Plus, there are a lot of other...

About 100 yards with my stock SR-9. I can hit a shooting clay at that distance, but it takes a steady hand and 5 or 6 tries on a good day! My buddy can hit them all day with his Glock 30... that thing really is as accurate as folks make it out to be. 60 yards on a shooting clay is much more...

Heritage Arms .22 pistol I own one of these and recommend it. Bought it on sale after Thanksgiving (first time Black Friday shopping, go figure, it was a gun that made me!). Being a single action gun it's a little harder to load/unload, each shell has to be manually inserted/ejected and...

Might have figured it out! Ok, I have some new bullets that are .452 diameter and I'm still having the same problem, just not as bad. So I measured the flair that the flair die is putting on these bullets, and it turns out that it really isn't putting a flair on them at all. I keep...

Looks like yet another attempt to "educate" the public about guns. Most live in ignorance of these kinds of things and so their only source for information is the mainstream media. Until we can get people to realize that they are only getting one side of the story at BEST, they will continue to...

Oh and my friend has a .45 now, so I should be able to test and see whether they chamber well or not.
