    Advantage Arms Kit - Almost Kaboom?

    It was, remington golden bullets which were recommended by Advantage arms. Why do you say that?

    Advantage Arms Kit - Almost Kaboom?

    Don't have them with me now, but the one with the actual blow out with a split open side has almost an expansion all the way around the rim of the case making me think it fired out of battery. I do have another casing though that just had where it puffed out on one side of the casing, with no...

    Advantage Arms Kit - Almost Kaboom?

    I just got a brand new Advantage Arms conversion kit for my glock 26 for Christmas. I finally went out with my girlfriend to go shoot it and it was shooting ok and then she's like "that's weird it felt like something hit me in the face". I fired it...and it did a double feed and i got the casing...

    3 inch barrel ammunition choice

    So, I just got a new pistol, springfield xd subcompact for concealed carry and home defense (until a shotgun/ar-15 comes). My question is as follows: it only has a 3 inch barrel and I'm curious if I should go heavier or lighter with my ammunition. My choices were between the 124gr +p gold dots...

    New Springfield XD!

    I got a new pistol, an SA XD 9mm sub-compact. I tried it at the range, loved how it felt, decided to get one. It'll be my concealed carry pistol. So that leaves me with a few questions. What do you guys use to clean and lube up your xd's? Any products I should steer clear from? How about...

    Pardner Pump Question

    I was looking to see if anyone had any experience with the New England Firearms Pardner Pump shotgun? I know they're pretty cheap but am wondering about the quality as far as a home defense shotgun goes. Are all 870 accessories compatible with it? I just heard it was exactly like a remington...

    It happened to me, Carry stories

    I thought mythbusters did something on the firing the bullet in the sky thing. I'm pretty sure they came up with the answer that shooting it straight up won't hit anyone, but your chance of firing it perfectly straight into the air is very small and even the slightest tilt in angle would make...

    Does this type of holster exist? Ruger lcp

    I would NEVER conceal a gun unless the trigger was covered. I don't think those clipdraws cover the trigger. I would recommend against them.

    Choosing a cheap gun...not by choice...

    I don't mind if it's used or not. The ruger and sigma seem pretty big for me to be carrying. I would wait a few paychecks, probably is I don't receive any. I am working 40-80 hours a week on clinical rotations which I don't get paid for and make it almost impossible to actually have a job...

    Choosing a cheap gun...not by choice...

    I could probably scrounge up some money to like $350 give or take a few tens of dollars if that helps people give some recommendations at all. The recommendations so far have been great and I GREATLY appreciate them. Thanks again everyone! I should mention that I"m not a big fan of the glock...

    Choosing a cheap gun...not by choice...

    Yup, hospitals are off limits and I probably won't be carrying while on my rotations seeing as how it's school related and I don't want to mess that up. But during that time...basically to and from as well as going to other places such as the convenience store at night I would like to have a...

    Choosing a cheap gun...not by choice...

    Let me start by saying that I am on clinical rotations right now and am working at pharmacies all over, hospitals, community, etc. I just received my CPL but have yet to buy a firearm due to costs, graduate school is very expensive and I can't afford the firearm, training, and holster at this...

    It happened to me, Carry stories

    Nice catch on finding a police officer. One thing I always try to be aware of is the quickest way to a police station. If I'm ever being followed and having problems I always would consider driving through a police station honking my horn or something like that to get their attention. The...

    Confronting Drunk Trespassers and Vandals

    XYAS I don't know how you got your permit. All your questions are dependant on distance, intent, and actions. You must be in fear of your life. The group walking toward you, you may simply have turned around and walked to another street. If they continue to follow then a stern warning might be...

    Gun shot in your house.

    I was reading this horrendous news article, Suspects in custody for shooting of 9 year old , and I was thinking of what should be done if you wake up in middle of the night to a gun shot in your own house. If you have no children, I guess it's easy, call 911, shut and barricade the door, and...

    Confronting Drunk Trespassers and Vandals

    Going back to the strategies and tactics portion of it, when confronting a person, or group in this case, what should be done to not let the person get a hold on the firearm? Is telling them that if they take one step closer you'll shoot, and if they do, you actually shoot them, a good rule to...

    My First Firearm!

    Here's the pictures I promised! Sorry about the image quality, my camera stinks and I am not a photographer. And how do I make my pictures smaller using photobucket/this website? The striker without the red dot. On the underside of the upper. The weird copper spot. And finally, the...

    General ideas to secure the homestead

    I've seen an alarm that is placed somewhere and basically shoots a laser beam and if anyone crosses the laser beam it goes off (like a garage door opener system where if you cross the beam the garage door goes back up). I was thinking of getting one for my apartment and placing it to where a...
