    Why did you buy a gun in 2020?

    I had gotten out of shooting a year or two ago for many reasons, mostly monetary. A friend texted the other day and said "Just got my shotgun fixed, want to go skeet shooting?" I am in a much better financial situation these days so I bought my first O/U. I am about to buy a Marlin 60...

    Does anyone besides Ruger make SR40c magazines

    I'm thinking about buying some extra magazines for my SR40c and I was wondering if anyone besides Ruger made magazines for them. I did a little searching but didn't find anything. I don't have anything against the Ruger magazines, I just like to know all my options before I buy something.

    Budget pocket gun for saltwater

    With any luck I will be moving to the Northeast in a year or so. Once I move I plan on Sea Kayaking. Any recommendations for a pocket gun that can stand up to saltwater? Prefer something inexpensive. Anything above .22lr is welcome as a suggestion. Wheel or Auto are both fine.

    Might be moving to Massachussetts

    I appreciate all the posts. Yes I know I am moving to a much more liberal land than I am used to. I can deal with it, my wife is a raging liberal(yes I will say that to her face) she would be very happy to live in liberal land, and a happy wife leads to a happy life. As far as selling my...

    Might be moving to Massachussetts

    Thanks for all the replies. Very good opportunity=doubling my salary and breaking into 6 figure income. I understand the cost of living difference. We would be moving to the Westborough area. I am a history buff so being close to Boston is a big plus. I am a kayaker and the Boston harbor...

    Might be moving to Massachussetts

    I realize the gun laws in MA are awful, but I might have an opportunity to move my family there and it is a very good one. Just wondering what I would need to do to move my guns into the state. Also I would want to get a a concealed carry license. I currently have a license to carry in...

    good bolt action rifles for people who like to work on their own guns?

    No Mosins in .308. As far as I know they were all chambered in 7.62x54R.

    Homeowner Stops Home Invasion

    So have I. Of course it was full daylight. My adrenaline wasn't pumping. I had hearing protection. I took my time and shot when I was ready. I wasn't in fear for my life, etc. On the other hand when a shooting coach gave me less than a minute to fire ten rounds at a 15 yard target...

    glad that I was wearing shooting glasses

    My wife is a life long shooter and taught me how to shoot. The first time we shot together she insisted I wear safety glasses. I didn't see the point but wore them to humor her. A hot spent case from the second magazine of the day bounced off my glasses and right down my shirt. Can't imagine...

    The Best Bad Choice for Home Defense

    When I was about 14 I was home alone and received a strange phone call that freaked me out. Some odd things had been going on in the area. We didn't own any firearms. I called my mom and she came home. Until she got there I had my 40lb compound bow with target points at the ready.

    Recommendations for my first gun?

    Sorry if I missed it but have you shot before? How much will you shoot what you buy? As someone said HD shotguns kick, pistols are not easy, AKs have their own issues. They are all valid choices, just wondering if maybe you have a background shooting pistol/rifle/shotgun. If so go with what...

    Options for a 20yo NY'er looking to work with firearms

    You said you aren't math oriented. Have you tried any applied math, especially as it relates to something you love such as firearms? I ask because math can take you far. My father in law says math didn't make sense to him until he became an electrician and had to apply it in real world...

    What role does ammo cost play in your gun selection?

    When it came time to buy my CCW I went .40S&W because even at the height of the post Newtown ammo shortage I always saw .40S&W available.

    I don't get buying guns online.

    Bought my last two guns online. SR40C because everyone was sold out locally. Savage 99 in .300 Savage because everyone locally wanted collectors prices for beat up rifles.

    Recommend cheap pair of Binocs from Cabelas

    I have an $80 gift card from Cabelas. I am wanting to get a cheap, light pair of binoculars. These will mainly be used when hiking with my family which includes a 5 and 2 year old. I don't need anything fancy, but durable is nice. Little unsteady hands will be using these so no need for...

    Water Resistant Camo Overall and Blaze Vest Recomendations

    For Christmas I am thinking of asking someone for a pair of camo water resistant camo overalls that are made from a tough material like a Carhart jacket. I also want a blaze camo vest that at least has a fleece or padded shoulder that I could wear for hunting and occasional clay shooting. If I...

    What are you taking deer hunting this year?

    1940s Savage 99 in .300 Savage open sights. Should be perfect for heavily forested 25-50 yard shot in the Ozarks.

    How do we stack up?

    Southern U.S. here. I mainly see law enforcement with Glocks in 9mm or 40 S&W. At least one local department carries Berettas. A 12 gauge and/or an AR variant isn't uncommon in their cruiser. My hometown of ~60,000 had a .50 BMG sniper rifle but it got "lost". I am seeing more and more...
