There can be more to buying a 'safe' than it appears. Fortunately, we have two resident experts here on THR. Do a search for the usernames 'A1ABDJ' and 'CB900F'. You'll find more information there on gun 'safes' than you can read in several evenings.

Hey all. I'm looking for a new holster for my Glock, and was wondering what y'all have found to work well. I'm particularly interested in the Versa Max 2, but the Comp Tac looks good, also. What do you think? I'm sure there are other great options out there, but I'm not sure what they are...

I'll throw in another +1 for CMP if you have to have a USGI. However, if you're just looking for a good shooter, and not necessarily an original, don't count out the commercial carbines. As previously stated, Auto Ordnance is making new ones, and I've had nary a problem with my early Universal...

The best way to get the 'right' answer for your wife would be to find a range that rents guns, or a gun store with a range, and let her shoot them both. Most of the time, if a gun shop with a range can see you're serious about buying a gun, they're okay with letting you shoot it on their range...

The only way that could be better would be if the bolt were closed. :D

"...But unfortunately, people have the right to own guns. And they're going to exercise that right." -Officer DeCoatsworth. It's...something. There's enough believable half-truths to make it seem unbiased to those who aren't gun enthusiasts, with the anti propaganda cleverly disguised, but...

I've got a Marlin/ Glenfield 60. I love that little gun.

I carry whenever and where ever I legally can. Unfortunately, this does not include my job. I drive a commercial vehicle home every night (from what I understand, it is illegal to carry in a CMV), and on top of that my employer prohibits concealed carry, which in TN would make it against the law...

I know it's not that old, but the cardboard boxes and unjacketed lead bullets make it seem older than the '40s era Mil-Surp I've been shooting through my Mauser. I'm sure the 32-40 is just that. I've got the original box, and I believe the cases are stamped that way also. Could y'all give me...

I recently got a bunch of old ammunition, I'd guess it's from the 80s at the newest. I've been sorting through it, and have found some 30-40 Krag, some 32-40, 32 S&W, 32 Win Special, 7mm Mauser, and some 348 Win. Are any of these calibers still around, or even remotely desirable to...

I'm not sure if a .22 will set them off, but check out Tannerite.com. They make some really fun exploding targets.

Hey all. I'm ready to start reloading, and have found three different Lee starter kits that I like. The problem is, I can't figure out which one I need. I plan on reloading handgun ammunition mainly, with some .223 and .30 Carbine. Eventually I may want to load for my Mosin or some of my larger...

I just got a Mosin, and have been looking online at surplus ammo. I've found surplus from Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia, and they're all priced differently. I know it's all corrosive, but is there any difference in what country the ammunition comes from? The best price I've found...

Not sure how it used to be, but when I got my TN permit last year it wasn't too bad. Kind of expensive, though. $85.00 for a one day required class, then $115.00 application fee at the DMV. Took right about 90 days for my permit to arrive after that.

You know, after reading about all these gun buy backs, it makes me wonder what would happen if a person were to take a Blue Book and simply let the folks in line look up the value of their guns. The folks with rust seized .22s would probably stay in the buyback line, but would the people with...
