I'll add to the .308 crowd. I like things in my life that serve more than one purpose. I can hunt with a .308, and due to it's commonality, it makes a great zombie appocalypse round too.

I've heard negatives about a C model blinding the shooter in the dark...ruining your night vision type of thing...like getting your picture taken at night. A quick follow-up is useless when you can't see anyway. I carry a G23 and don't really have any complaints. I used to carry a 27 and...

The surface area of the weapon touching your hand is much bigger and the weapon is moving much slower than the bullet. It is NOT comparable to felt impact of a bullet. It's like slamming your palm down on the face of a sledge hammer compared to slamming your palm down on an ice pick. I read...

I don't know much about it as I haven't looked into that aspect of the Saigas yet, but I think I heard something to the tune of any parts you swap in have to be made in usa? Something like that? Somebody who knows more could probably enlighten you better.

I'm not really in the know as far as these 2011 and beyond ejector problems in the Gen 3's and 4's. It seems what I've seen on here that it's limited to the 9mm's? Are .40's having this problem?

Much of my information started with this document: http://www.firearmstactical.com/pdf/fbi-hwfe.pdf It's a little dated, but the information in it managed to stay magninamous with regard to specific calibers...only stating the importance or lack thereof in some cases of caliber...

I placed caliber outside of the selection criteria and listed the pros and cons of them seperately at the end as I feel that all three can do the job. The 5-7 I wouldn't really consider a pistol round...more like a small rifle round that you put in a pistol. I could throw the PMR-30 (as was...

Yes Sir, you are most definitely correct. Good catch. I'm also in error to say that the .45 has better expansion than the .40 or the 9mm. That eludes to an assumption that 9mm and .40 do not expand properly and that is untrue. All three calibers of JHP expand well, as designed. What I was trying...

Just thought I'd throw this out there to help anyone who is pondering their firearm and caliber buying decision. I did a lot of research before settling on what I bought and I found that if you are purchasing a handgun for personal defense, there are some pretty common sense priorities that, if...

Somebody oughta buy it from the guy, load it, then demand 2/3 of their money back!

x2 on that. I had a G22 (same as 17 but in .40) and the finger spacing was ideal. I then had a G27 (.40 Sub-Compact) and found that I couldn't shoot for crap without a place to put my pinky. The Pearce magazine extension worked well, but I figured if I'm going to extend the height of the...

I really like this gun, mostly because it's Made in USA and due to the large capacity and short OAL, but I've been contemplating the KSG vs. the Mossberg 930SPX vs. the Saiga 12. From a legal standpoint, the water gets muddy when you start modding a Saiga, so I've kind of placed that one on...

Females begin breeding at about 8 to 10 months old, or as young as 6 months if food is abundant. Under favorable conditions, sows can produce two litters every 12 to 15 months, with an average of four to eight piglets per litter and a sex ratio of 1:1. Younger sows tend to have smaller litters...

I've heard the boars are that way. Heard you have to slaughter them right away? I've been lucky enough to only kill sows and they all tasted just fine to me in all shapes and sizes.

x4 on the Springfields. You're getting much more quality than you're paying for.
