Actually no - I'm not sure they were AA loads. They were the cheap Walmart ones which are 4 boxes of 25 for around $23. The case on them appeared to be aluminum - not brass. Perhaps I should have went with Federal. I just looked at the box which does in fact feature the word "Universal" as...

I just bought a new Remington 870 Express shotgun a couple of weeks ago. I have had two 870 Wingmasters for some time, but I bought this one to be used for trap/skeet. My wife and I shot a few rounds of skeet with it with Remington brand 7 1/2 shot size game loads the day after I bought it...

Yes.

I disagree - as do thousands of other people.

Yeah - I have been looking through the Saiga forum since I've been considering this purchase. To read some of the posts there about how to handle the Saiga's gas chamber selection, one might imagine that the gun is made of paper mache and is easily damaged. I realize the gun may be well...

I currently own Mossbergs and 870s. I like both brands just fine. If you are going to pick one and go with it, to me it comes down to a matter of ergonomics. The biggest difference is the location of the safety. The Mossberg's safety is considered ambidextrous - and is located on the top...

I own a few shotguns. Among those that I would use for self-defense are the Mossberg 500 Persuader, Saiga-12 and Remington 870. I have not fired a Mossberg 590, however I have fired the "Maverick" - and my 500. I am a fan of them both. Since you asked only about the Mossberg and the...

I just bought a slightly used Saiga 12 shotgun, it looks pretty much brand new and I'm very pleased with the purchase because I've wanted one for a long time. I took it out shooting yesterday evening (same day I bought it) - and it functioned as expected. I started out with some light target...

I currently own a Glock 17 and a 26. I love them. My wife stole my 26 which I purchased to CCW. Now, I think I'm going to get a 19. My advice would be - if you are going to CCW, you will be happy with the 19. I CCW my 17 all the time, but OWB only (with vest or jacket covering). It's a...

Back when it was readily available, I always bought the Winchester white box JHP ammo at Wal-mart for my defense handguns in 9mm and .45ACP. I bought it because it was reasonably priced which allowed me to practice with it as well. Even if there is a "better-performing" JHP cartridge than...

I agree completely. I am an instructor in Virginia and most of my students attend my courses to qualify for the CHP. Nevertheless, I am very much in favor of Virginia removing the CHP law - since this is a tax and limitation of freedom.

No. It isn't up to the government, or anyone for that matter - to decide what qualifies one to protect themselves. The right to carry or possess a firearm, concealed or otherwise, is a basic personal right - and *any* restriction, regulation, limitation or prohibition which is imposed by...

I had a P40 - and after taking it to the range without incident a few times, one day the trigger spring or something having to do with the trigger broke. The trigger no longer reset. The recoil in that thing was.... significant.

It jammed more with Winchester white box than any other type/brand. I did. I could manipulate the "claw" with my finger - which seemed rather loose to me. Maybe ;) - I just didn't have the warm and fuzzies with the PF9 anymore. To me, keeping a defense gun that has malfunctioned is...

About 2 weeks ago, I bought a Keltec PF9. The next day, I took it to the range and fired about 40-50 rounds (different brands such as Winchester white box, Blazer Brass, Wolf, Remington, etc.). Some were JHP and some were FMJ rounds - all 115gr. It functioned flawlessly with all rounds fired...

Prescription eyeglasses are considered "ok" by most in the context of eye protection for shooting. I always only wear my prescription eyeglasses while shooting - regardless of the gun. If I am shooting a blackpowder rifle or revolver, I make sure I press them up on my face really high :) -...

I have carried the following at one time - and in various chronology, including repeats, sells and rebuys: S&W Model 36 .38 Special (given to me by my grandfather - still carry) EG Makarov (sold this to my brother) Beretta Tomcat .32 (liked the sights, but traded it for a keltec) Keltec...

Alright then. I believe I will go with the Norinco. I will also be on the lookout for a Russian one which is all original. I really appreciate all the helpful responses. This helps me to be far more confident when I go make my purchase. Thanks again!

I don't want something else to add to my collection which is only "marginally acceptable". I want something that can compliment my SAR-1. Should I get another SAR-1 instead of an SKS? I have also been considering the Keltec SUB2000 in 9mm, since I also have a G17. I want something that is...

Ok. If I get one of these rifles, I will probably replace the existing stock with a Tapco brand synthetic stock. This would be for the purpose of durability and reduced weight. So you're saying - if I choose to replace the original stock with a Tapco synthetic one -- I will need to buy...
