Thanks for the advice. I managed to shoot a mossburg 500 and remington 870 today. Roughly 20 rounds out each at a range. I have to say that I can manipulate the safety and side release on the 500 with absolute ease. The 870 just feels like it has a much better build quality in imho. The 500...

Thanks for all the advice. I was in a much larger town and stopped at a local sporting goods store. I noticed alot of nice new options for around 450 to 500. I am now leaning towards the Mossburg becuase they much easier to operate in imho. I think I will buy new. Just want a sturdy long...

I have little experience with buying used shotguns, but this one caught my eye. Now residing in the great state of New York, keeping a pistol for home defense is a complicated option. I am also on kind of limited budget this year ( I am full time student again. ) This particular shotgun is a...

Thanks for all the responses ... Plan on visiting the Glock shop some time next week. Will post an update with my personal experiences.

DYI ... thing I remember seeing ... possibly even here. Was to use Yo yo ( as in the toy connected to a string ) dye. Possibly stripping your glock down completely to the frame. And suspending the frame in a bucket of the stuff might get you some pretty cool unique effects, even OD green. Not...

Recently bought a Gen 3 Glock 19, and found out I live only 20 from Glock NA. :D I was told ... I can take my glock there and have factory night sites installed for around 70.00 and the labor is free. Also considering an extended slide stop lever ... Was wondering if anyone here has any...

Recently I moved to Alanta, ga and brought several of my firearms with me. Years ago I had a CWP from SC but let it expire just bc I never carried a weapon after about a month. Came here for some words of wisdom. A) Are firearms even legal to possess in the city limits of atlanta, ga? B)...

As far as design work goes gotta offer my humble vote: http://www.gunshopfinder.com/beretta/9000S.asp Giugiaro never fails when it comes to being pleasing to the eye!

Figure THR would be my first stop in my search for good equipment. I will be working as an armed security officer on the weekends, and need a GOOD duty belt and holster for my springfield xd9. Looking to buy only once... and hopefully will last me for a long while. BUT honestly I I've never...

Just curious if everyone considers these fair prices. New 642 for 400.00. Used 640 (good condition) for 489.95. Used 686 for 455.00. Gonna buy one this week and just wanted some opinions on this guns. Is there anyone here who regularly and actually pocket carries a 640? Just curious if it is...

Well did it! Walked out with an S&W M65 4" today, for 254.00. Turns out I was talking to the owner of the shop, and he smiled and said he'd knock off 30 bucks for a 1st timer discount. Haven't fired it yet, but plan on it this weekend. Quick question. Noticed some of these came with a 3 inch...

Again thanks for all the input. This is a massive help (because I know they are doing they're jobs) but the sales ppl will sell me anything I glance in the case. I also welcome any all skepticism, b/c this is not which flashlight to buy, but a tool that requires alot of thought before I pick one...

Wow!:what: Thanks for the great speedy advice. I was expecting maybe only a few vague posts. This sight is definitely the info source I've been looking for. Went back by the gun shop today, and found several model 65's with 4inch barrel ( all were used, I believed purchased from a police...

Howdy all! New to this forum, and what a blessing and wealth of information. Here 's my situation. Recently started working for a security company, and they told I could qualify for an armed position. I'm allowed to use either a 38 or 9mm. I'm not very experienced with handguns on any level...
