I'm running into an issue with my 930SPX that's defying easy diagnosis. I've got over a thousand rounds thru the sucker. The gun's been great up until now and a real value, but now it's goofing up on me in a peculiar way: In any given range session, I can run 8-10 rounds through it without...

I've got a tough choice to make: I have the money set aside for ONE good training course this year, and I've narrowed it down to either... Massad Ayoob's MAG40 Class or Larry Vickers' Intro To Pistol Some background: I'm a C Class USPSA Production shooter/IDPA SSP Sharpshooter...

Ok, how the :cuss: do you keep a Leupold mount secure? This is the sporterized M1903A3 I inherited from my father-in-law when he passed away, and I have it drilled and tap for a Leupold mount. This is my third attempt to keep that rear mount secure, and it worked for the first twenty...

If you live in the Copper State, like shooting and spend time online, you're invited out to the Elsy Pearson Range in Casa Grande at the end of the January. We'd love to have you join us!

I've a couple of friends who are moving up the ranks of USPSA and have just started shooting IDPA. Neither of them carry concealed. I shoot both sports as well as 3 gun, and I carry every time I leave the house. Is their experience more common than mine amongst the ranks of pistol competition...

Ok, let's say Santa has been good to you this year and you have about $500 to spend on a pistol-caliber carbine (and that's $500 firm, no "Save up and a get something more expensive" option available). This is just for plinking and the occasional low-key rifle/carbine competition. What would...

Trainmeaz.com, a Arizona firearms training aggregator website headed by Alan Korwin of gunlaws.com, put up billboards and bus shelter ads announcing that Arizonans should know about the opportunities for safe firearms training in the state, and the city of Phoenix has forced them to take them...

Are there any other gunbloggers on THR, and if so, what's your blog?

The Smallest Minority and myself are getting an Arizona gunblogger/blogger shoot for Saturday, November 6th at the Elsy Pearson Shooting Range in Casa Grande. The plan is to meet at the range at 8 am (-ish), shoot, and then lunch at the range afterwards (bring your own food and (non-alcoholic)...

Hey all y'all, What has been your experience with the NRA Personal Protection Inside the Home and Personal Protection Outside the Home classes? Are they worth it? Did you learn anything from them? How do they compare to the longer (and more expensive) classed from Gunsite, Frontsite, etc...

Looking forward to this one: It looks like they may have found a format that'll make practical shooting exciting and interesting to the casual viewer, leading to even more exposure on the cable nets, perhaps.

McDonald v. Chicago is about to be decided in the next few weeks, and it's got me thinking about what nation-wide gun laws should look like. So, the question is, which is preferable: Alaska-style carry with permit-less CCW within each state and patchwork reciprocity across state lines, or...

I just started reloading this year, and I mis-loaded a bunch of 9mm (I've had a bunch of squib rounds and hangfires with them) and I've identified the source of the problem and corrected for it. I've pulled the bullets from all the mis-loaded rounds and cleaned the powder off the bullets and...

I'll be making a pilgrimage up to J&G Sales on Friday to buy a pistol solely for the home. I've narrowed it down to the CZ-82 and the S+W Model 10, both excellent firearms from 1st-class companies. But I can only get one. Cz-82 Pros It's an autoloader, and I tend to like the...

I have a Mossberg 590 that I bought used from a local pawn shop: From everything that I've researched online, it's supposed to have 8+1 capacity, but I just cannot get that 8th round to load in the mag. I'm loading Federal #6 and Winchester slugs into it, and the best I can do is 7+1: Is...

Well, crap. To all our friends, fans, supporters and consumers of Charles Daly and by extension, KBI products, I regret to inform you that the rumors of our demise are true. KBI is going out of business and closing its doors, effective today, January 29, 2010. I don't want to go into each...

Is it just me, or did CZ-USA bump their prices up by 10% or more in the past week or so? I was looking at a new P07 earlier this month at Buds for $400-ish, and now it's over $500, and it's much the same price at Angus's store and Impact guns. What gives?

I'm looking for a 9mm (or thereabouts) handgun that will be only for home defense. I will most likely be the person will hopefully never have to use it, but I need something that my wife could use as well. She can shoot, but she's not what I'd call a shooter. Money is a bit of a limiting...

How do the other cross-eye dominant 3 gun shooters here arrange their pistol holster, mag carriers and shotgun reloads? A little background. I'm right handed but left-eyed, and I've shot IPSC for a year and a half. I'm new to 3 gun and I've got my first match next week. In IPSC, it's pretty...

I've been shooting IPSC for a year or so now and have managed to claw my way up to D class. I own an AR and have just purchased a used Mossberg 590 (20" barrel, IC cylinder) with the idea it'll be my home defense/competition shotgun. What commonly available slug and target loads would be best...
