    Glock 36 Frame Question

    Looking at the Glock 36, it seems to hold many things in common with the 26, 27, 30, and a few more. Especially that the grip is shorter to accommodate flush fit magazines for better concealment. The only problem is that I have never seen Glock 36 flush fit magazines. Has anybody else?

    A thread very related to "Guns and Dating"

    Well over the past year I started getting pretty interested in firearms. I bought myself a shotgun for my birthday and recently bought a Ruger 10/22 for fun. However, I come from a pretty Anti gun home as does my girlfriend. Naturally, I just kept my new hobby to myself to avoid any drama...

    Eyesight? Am I a bad shot until I fix it?

    Was out at the local indoor range with my new Ruger 10/22 Carbine using just the iron sites. Here is my issue. I am right handed, right eye dominant with 20/50 right eye vision. My left eye is 20/30 and I would say with both eyes open I get along pretty well. However, at 50 feet the...

    Tactical footwear

    I'm a sandal loving man, especially in hot weather and really don't enjoy wearing shoes. With that said, when out alone or with the lady I tend to prefer to wear a sturdier shoe. I predict being in any type of scuffle in flip flops or sandals would severely limit my abilities to stay on my...

    My first range visit

    I just got back from my first range visit. All I can say is WOW! I never knew shooting could be so fun...and painful. My first gun, a Remington 870 Express 12GA, was probably more recoil than I should have had for a first time shooter. I shot 30 rifled slugs and 15 00 buckshot. When I...

    Help a NYer with a rifle purchase.

    Living in Buffalo NY, my options are pretty limited in terms of AR's because of our Assault Weapons ban of 1994 that has no expiration date. However, the Ruger Mini 14 seems to be a good alternative that is still legal to own. Dick's has a wooden stock Mini for $680 which will come out to...
