I'm with anapex. Just a solid rifle with plenty of ammo and a good position. But I'd also bring a carton or two of marlboro lights for when I take a break to clean my rifle. I'd probably leave the ear plugs out though. I'd like to hear them yell out. If it gets to be to much I'd crank up my...

What a bozo! After looking at the video I'm thinking he cleared the chamber and reinserted the loaded mag before he started. I didn't see a round eject when he pulled the slide back. Why did he even have a mag in the pistol to start with? The AR they asked him not to handle didn't have a mag in...

I have read a lot of the ballistic data about how most of the cal.s listed on the poll are comparable in one way or the other. But, after seeing first hand what some of them do in the real world the .45acp is my choice hands down. When I load up it's 8+1 230gr. Golden Sabers in a 1911 platform.

Thank you alduro. That was about my take on the two the other day when I rented both the P99 and G19. I did notice the differance in the polymer used in both. I also had the same experience and feeling about the controls on both pistols. I think I've pretty much decided on the Glock. I just like...

Well it looks like the poll is leaning towards the Glock. I was at the local gunshop/range the other day and they had both. I rented them and did a side by side on the range. Neither had any failures and both were quite accurate in my opinion. Being used to the Glock I naturally shot it better...

Hello all, Here within the next couple of weeks I'm going to get a 9mm. I'm torn between the Glock G19 or a Walther P99. I already have some .45s and .357 mags but no 9mm's. I would be using whatever I get as a multi purpose gun just like I do with what I have. So it will be for carry as well...

I've seen where a couple responses mentioned not having the seller sign the bill of sale. If the seller doesn't sign it then it's worthless as proof that it was sold on the up and up. dishonest seller.." He stole my gun!" unwary buyer.." No I didn't! here's a recipt with the model and...

It seems to be going the way of leather being prefered. I kinda figured it would but you never know till you ask, right? Personally, I go both ways (with holsters anyways hehe) I have a Galco high ride for a stainless GP100 and a Sidearmor Kydex IWB for my Glock. I have noticed some wear on both...

Hello all, Just out of curiosity what do you all think is easier on the finish of a handgun? Leather,kydex or nylon. I know that there will eventually be wear on any handgun that sees enough holster time but which do you think is the more gentle alternative? Please add a comment as to why too...

You could call the police and give them the serial number but all they could do is tell you if it's listed as stolen. That doesn't mean it isn't stolen as they would only have it listed as such if someone reported it stolen. There wouldn't be any way of telling you if it was used in a crime...

Well, I think that based on the replies I've gotten here and my personal feelings about it I'm goin for another Glock. They are simple and reliable. I have also been thinking that I'm kinda spoiled with the manual of arms of the Glock. No other safeties other then the safe action trigger. Many...

The things phantomak 47 says about the track record for Glocks is exactly why I bought one. I looked long and hard for my first semi auto and it was it's proven track record that drew me to the Glock. It's simply a well designed weapon that has served me well. I have to agree with you too...

.45 acp I like the .45 auto. As far as the .45GAP goes it wasn't so much an ego thing as a matter of making a .45 size cartidge available in countries where ppl aren't allowed to carry military cal.s from what I understand. From everything I've read that's where most of the G37s are sold...

Ok, I'm lookin for some opinions. I've decided that my next addition will be a 9mm. I'm lookin at either a Glock 17/19 or a Walther P99. I have a Glock now so I'm thinkin I wouldn't mind tryin a differant platform. I've shot a P99 and like it too but I'm undecided. So, I'm waffling on going with...

Well, I'm not knowledable enough to comment on the physiological reactions of hitting someone anywhere so I'll pass on #1. But I'll give you my thoughts on #2. That is quite a nightmare situation! But one I'm sure many have considered. I know I have. Given that you have already determined...
