    What gun conversations/threads do you not engage in? Not trying to be ironic.

    When you're a nube to shooting it's hard to avoid posting awful threads. I am responsible for threads types that I now hate. The more I shoot and hang with other gun owners, the questions I ask and things I want to talk about mature and change. Guns are just so cool when you first get into...

    Rust & A Beretta 92D Centurion

    Sprayed it down, in, and out with CLP last night and have it sitting in a plastic baggie "marinating" to hopefully loosen the rust further. I am picking up some 0000 steal wool today, hopefully they'll have some at Home Depot. I am guessing that this will do the trick. Depending on how it...

    Rust & A Beretta 92D Centurion

    My M&P is DA Only - there is no hammer though like on the Beretta. I will check the inside of the barrel for rust.

    Rust & A Beretta 92D Centurion

    I have come across a Beretta 92D Centurion in my travels of looking for different weapons to use at the range. This one does not belong to me, but rather a friend that is looking to move it. I was happy to try it out as the 9mm chamber is cheaper to play with than my normal range gun. I was...

    Affordable O/Us - New CZ Redhead Target

    Lots to think about - I don't see many SKBs or Berettas on gunbroker or in the stores. I am having a pretty decent time finding a quality used O/U. I really would like own a quality weapon - so, will continue to see what I can find out there. Just itchin' to hang that smoke again!

    Affordable O/Us - New CZ Redhead Target

    I would like to shoot other clay sports as well. There's a few different guns I can rent at the range. I will try some others - I shot the White Onyx originally.

    Affordable O/Us - New CZ Redhead Target

    Just saw the new CZ O/U - "Redhead Target". Looks great - especially the PRICE TAG! I just discovered how much I love Trap - my wife took me when she found a deal on LivingSocial and I was immediately smitten. I had never shot Trap before - just Skeet a few times when I was younger. I forgot...

    "The Dark Side of Smith & Wesson"

    Wow... I don't think the M&P is a copy-cat of anything, at least as far as I can tell. I believe it is meant to compete with the Glock. I heard something about a lawsuit between Glock and S&W over the Sigma, I think. Never heard the whole story. I like S&W, for now I suppose. I really have...

    HELP - Are 1911s Really This Bad?

    Believe you me - plenty, the back of my throat was none too pleased. Not my normal range - bought a LivingSocial deal that could not be passed-up. In my opinion .45ACP is too expensive to target shoot, as the rental and ammo were on the house, I threw caution to the wind...

    Best-LOOKING polymer-frame handgun

    Winner = M&P - clean and sharp, +1. Runner-UP = PX4 Storm. Runner, Runner-Up = HK P2000. HK P30 = Batman's gun of choice.

    HELP - Are 1911s Really This Bad?

    Citizens, I went to one of my local ranges today and fired a 1911 for the first time. I have always thought, as many of you think, that this is one of the best looking and best feeling guns in the world. It is THE quintessential firearm. However, upon my endeavor, I was surprisingly...

    which of these .40s is best for playing with at the range?

    BCMjUnKiE - I really like the XDMs. I have shot the competition model 9mm at my local range several times - extremely accurate. Sweet pistol, 5.25" barrel, bright sights, and a HUGE mag. Springfield cut away some of the slide to speed up the cycling in this model. Plus the XDMs come with all...

    H&K USP Compact .45ACP vs. ???

    Dean181 - Looking to mix it up. I really do like my M&P and that's not a bad idea, but I'd like to fiddle with a few different weapons. I haven't been able to put my mits on an HK45c, definitely is a combo of 2000 and USP - the slide is less pleasing to the eye than the USP or 2000 to me, but...

    H&K USP Compact .45ACP vs. ???

    Just got back from my favorite gun store, Adventure Outdoors. Handled a USPc 9mm, USPc .45, and a 2000 9mm. Have to admit that the 2000 felt much better in hand - about the same weight as the USPc, but the ergos felt about 50% better. The 2000 has a full hammer rather than a bobbed, and has...

    H&K USP Compact .45ACP vs. ???

    psyopspec - what were some of those guns to which you moved on? alaskanativeson - Great feedback. I'm pleased to hear good things about this weapon. Demitrios - Do you carry anything that is SA/DA or just the Bul? GZOh - I do like Sigs, but have heard both good and bad things about them. I...

    H&K USP Compact .45ACP vs. ???

    ...and I do conceal-carry/open-carry. My gun of choice is the M&P .40. I love her - she's my best pal. But that H&K looks like it don't take no sh*t, and that counts with me. I want to carry the .45ACP round now. I'm going to buy a Storm Lake 9mm conversion barrel and retire the M&P to...

    For M&P lovers!

    I have to admit - it's sort of a love affair I have with my M&P .40. I mean the moment I picked it up I thought, "Where has this been all my life?". What I can't stand is to walk around the gun shops and ranges in the Atlanta Metro-Area (Glock Factory in Smyrna, GA like 15 minutes down I-75 S)...

    which of these .40s is best for playing with at the range?

    +1 on the M&P - the best feeling and best firing .40 I have ever shot. Although I am biased as I own one. Bought mine when they first came out - they were under $500 then, can barely find for less than that anymore. Also came with a bigger hard case and a $50 rebate or two extra mags...
