    Springfield Customer Service

    Recently, I purchased a new Springfield EMP .40, and I must have bought a lemon. It started off with a few hiccups every now and then... but after putting about 500 rounds through it, I started getting A LOT of jams. So I called Springfield up, and had it sent over to them. Everyone was...

    Have you ever used your sidearm in self defense?

    Somebody got shot for Yahooing beer!? That's a damn shame. I sure hope these guys were armed and dangerous criminals because most of the time, kids that do this are underage and just trying to get a little alcohol. I mean, shooting someone to protect yourself or others is ok... but...

    Browning BOSS Yes or No ?

    My buddy's got a 30.06 A-bolt with the boss... he says it definitely works. Considering he hasn't missed anything in the past 5 years, I'll have to believe him. As for the sound, it's never bothered me with ear plugs even when I'm right on the side of him. Come to think of it, I don't remember...

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    Overheard a salesman tell a mother looking to buy a pistol for her son say that... "This is a glock. The thing about the glock is that it doesn't have any kind of safety on it, and the only way to safely carry a glock is without one in the chamber. If you ever have to use it you will have to...

    Tell me why?

    Don't quote me on this... but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to use a suppressor for hunting.

    Uneducated employees at gun shops...

    I was in Academy the other day, and I overheard the guy behind the counter talking to a guy who looked to be about 18 and his mom. He's showing them all the pistols and when he gets to the glock I had to cringe when he said, "The thing about this gun is it doesn't have any kind of safety at...

    Stupid People with Guns

    The point I was trying to make was that initially I "had the urge." Having the urge to do something does not demonstrate who a person really is. Actions are the real representation of a person's true character. I have always kept my firearm a secret and avoid printing at all costs (even...

    Stupid People with Guns

    You could be right. I mean I wasn't there, but I think it took some convincing to get him to reholster his weapon. You make a good point though. These guys were probably just caught up in the moment. I beleive they were all in their early 20's, and I think the party's average age was...

    Stupid People with Guns

    Let me start by explaining that this is a story that a friend of mine shared with me, and I don't have any details other than what you are about to read. So I have a few friends that work at a restaurant here in Baton Rouge. After normal hours, the restaurant is sometimes rented out for...

    Question about AWB

    Ok I know there's no way of telling what will happen in the next few years, but I have a couple questions about an AWB. I was too young to feel the affects of the Clinton ban, and up until recently, all we had in the house was shotguns. Now that I'm old enough to afford guns of my own...

    New Mythbusters

    Thanks for backing me up guys... I recall watching something on the history channel a while back where some soldiers or marines (can't remember) in Iraq got pinned down and actually used a cardboard box for concealment. Amazingly, none of them reported being hit, but by the time they...

    New Mythbusters

    I'm thinking about writing them up about the "car doors provide sufficient cover from bullets." I realize that a car door isn't by any means great cover, especially in the case of high velocity rifles and shotgun slugs. But I beleive it could save your life when faced with pistol fire...

    Benelli M4

    I was just looking at the M4 on Benelli's website, and I noticed that the mag capacity was only 4+1.:what: Is this correct? I can't see myself going into harm's way with a gun that only holds 4 shells, when I can get something like a Mossberg that holds 9 shells and only has a inch and...

    642 or 638 for my girlfriend to use, what do you think?

    I guess I should have worded my OP a little better. I didn't really mean to ask what type of gun would be best for her. What I was really asking was: Would a hammerless/hidden hammer revolver be better for purse carry? This discussion also leads me to another question. I'm sure...
