    Dirty Laundry

    Good morning! Who else occasionally forgets to check their pockets, and unknowingly throws speedloaders and speedstrips into the washing machine? Do you use that ammo as range fodder? Or would you continue to carry it? I probably do this at least once every couple months. :(

    I need this in 45acp

    Has anyone seen this? http://xdspistol.com/ Springfield's new xds 4.0. It is 9mm xds with a 4 inch barrel. Same everything else, just a 0.7 inch longer barrel and slide. I'm pretty sure I want this.

    Owners of the shield or pps in 40

    To those of you who own the walther pps or s&w shield in 40, how is the recoil/snappiness/follow up shots in comparison to a glock 27? I have owned a glock 27 and found it plenty comfortable to shoot, but too thick to carry every day. Just wondering about the shootability and accuracy of the...

    Barnes bullets?

    I notice that some companies, buffalo bore included, use barnes bullets in their products. Is the barnes bullet acceptable for self defense? I can't find any tests showing how it performs. Any info would be appreciated.

    Price check on used Marlin XT 22

    My local toy store (AKA LGS) has a used XT 22 for $200. It's a 22lr, magazine fed, wood-stocked rifle. Is this a decent price? I can't find anything wrong with it at first glance.

    Small issue with my S&W airweight.

    The cylinder release on my 638 keeps loosening itself up. The screw loosens by itself. I have to tighten it about once a week. I don't even have to shoot the gun in order for this to occur. The screw loosens up just by me carrying it daily. Any ideas of why? It is kind of a new issue...

    AR match sights for defensive rifle?

    Does anyone use match sights on their defensive AR? Or has anyone put match sights on and gone back to standard sights? Why or why not? What are your thoughts? I'm thinking a match front sight post might be too fragile for defensive use.

    Iceberg Hunters

    So last night I was watching a new show on the weather channel called "Iceberg Hunters." It's about Newfoundlanders who collect ice from icebergs and sell it to make bottled water. (and vodka) Anyway, they are using a rifle to shoot at the iceberg and make small pieces fall off in order to...

    Compare the 357 LCR and sp101 for me please

    Comparing the LCR 357 and SP101 DAO model, which is easier to shoot accurately? Are they picky with certain bullet weights? (158 vs 125) Basically, I want an ACCURATE carry revolver. Am I asking too much from these guns? Should I be looking instead to a 3 inch SP101? I prefer to stay...

    Just how innacurate is your Mosin 91/30?

    I keep reading about the terrible accuracy of the mosin nagant. Just how accurate is yours? Can you hit a paper plate out to 200 yards? 300? Just thinking out loud here, the 91/30 is one of the cheapest rifles out there. Millions of people own them. I'm willing to bet that a lot of...

    Which barrel for deer?

    I don't hunt yet, but I'd like to begin soon. I have a buddy that is willing to "teach me the ropes." :D Instead of buying a new rifle, I think I'm just going to use the old Maverick 88. Right now it has a smoothbore 18.5 inch barrel with a front bead sight. I'd like to get a more...

    If you like the 870, I have a question.

    To those who prefer the remington 870 over the mossberg 590/500, can you tell me why? I am used to the location of the slide release and safety on the mossberg. The dual extractors give me the warm fuzzies. But the 870's seem to fit me better, not that the 500 doesn't fit. Anyway, I just...

    Please explain to me how to use J frame sights

    I have a smith and wesson 638. I would not be comfortable shooting it past 15 yards. If I shoot at 15 yards (offhand, staging DA trigger or single action) I can make 5 shot groups that are about 3-4 inches. However, these groups are always about a foot high. I want some advice on what to...

    Has anyone gone back to a simpler shotgun?

    I own a maverick 88 12 gauge, which I use for HD. I'm kind of sentimental about it because it was my first firearm. While there are "better" shotguns on the market, I'm never getting rid of it. It's my most fun gun to shoot! It sports a 18.5 inch barrel with a bead. :D Anyways, about a...

    Remington UMC 38 special +P 125 grain semi jktd hp

    Hi, i'd like to know if anyone has done any sort of ballistics testing with this particular ammo. It's L38S2B. It shoots much closer to point of aim than the FBI load or speer's short barrel load. Truth is, I'm probably going to just carry it anyway, because I can hit things with it easier...
