    This is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased...

    My very first handgun was an XD45 4". I went against my instincts of getting a 1911, and boy was I wrong. At 50' I was lucky to hit paper (not even the target, just paper) 2x out of 10. Sold it and switched to a 1911, same distance 8 out of 10 in the black. At the time WWB 45 was $20 at walmart...

    The Official 2013 Panic "Walk of Shame" Thread

    Ashamed of buying? I spent $35 per 50rd box of 45acp. Not happy about that, but I deal because I cashed in on the craze by selling my custom built AR for almost double the cost of building it. Thanks for being a dick gov cuomo (I'm stuck in NY) ka-ching. I have found some good deals from...

    So, Say You've Got A Safe Queen...

    WD40 is great for around the house but it turns to crud when it sits because it collects dust, so its not great for firearm storage. Clean off the WD40 and give it a good cleaning with CLP. Get a good gun lube, I use kellube and it works amazingly well, and oil the few spots a 1911 need. Once...

    Colt New Agent . . . . no sights.

    I have a New Agent. I shoot it the same way I shoot my regular 1911’s. I draw and present the same way for every pistol which automatically lines up the sights. With the New Agent it just lines up the gutter sight. As was already said it’s for short distances found in carry situations...

    What is your most priceless/never sell gun?

    I have 4 right now that I will never part with. First is the Remington .22 bolt action left to me by my Grandfather. He died a few months after I was born, but I was named after him since I was his first grandson. He told my father specifically that he wanted me to get his rifle, so that rifle...

    California confiscating guns - California AG suggests WH use as national model

    Make sure to read that through. You don't have to be the one that can't own guns, just a person that lives with someone that can't. Husband/Wife/Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Roommate have a felony conviction sometime in the past that you didn’t know about? They can't have access to guns, which means...

    Help With .45 Ammo Selection Please

    If you are anywhere near Rochester try Beikirch in east Rochester. I was able to get some federal hydra shok there. They have a huge supply and get shipments in every week. That said they are often bought out of the popular calibers for target loads at least.

    Springfield XDS shortage?

    About a month ago I was looking for a new carry gun. The local shops had the XDs, the shield, and the PPS all in stock, I ended up with a colt new agent. Don't regret my choice for a second. Of course everyone is sold out of just about everything now. Except there are plenty of Remington R1's...

    Considering first AR build.

    I'm in a similar situation range wise where I live. Every range I have access to is 200yrds max. If you have your heart set on a 7.62 rifle I would suggest saving for the M1A. The AR style rifle in 7.62 just seems to be very heavy for a carbine rifle. A carbine should be short and light...

    Bud's VIP... Really?

    Amazon has a similar deal called Amazon Prime. It gets everything you buy upgraded to 2 day shipping for free. If you shop from them a lot then the cost is covered by the price difference in the shipping cost. Same goes for this Buds plan. Check out the price difference for same day shipping...

    Why won't Cheaper Than Dirt ship to New York?

    I've had similar problems with Amazon. There are some things they won't ship to NYS. When I contacted them as to why, they said they were not sure, but the system says to not ship so they don't. The laws regarding firearms in NYS can be confusing depending on where it's going; and I'm not...

    Back Orders on 1911's

    My buddy finally gave up on waiting for his Springfield that he ordered 7 months ago. Demand for 1911's is through the roof this year so everyone is backed up. Last time he checked in, before he gave up, Springfield was making the model he wanted at the time, they switched production over to...

    Got a New One For You Guys: Someone Swapped My M1 Garand Stock

    For what it's worth, I've helped to break into friends cars to play pranks before. Several times with an alarm activated, that didn't go off until after we closed the car, or most of the time not at all. Car alarms are not as reliable as most people think they are. Best of luck in sorting this...

    Suspect in murder-suicide was better armed than SWAT team

    The SOCOM is only good out to 400yrds? Wow, what a waste of a rifle then. If anybody doesn't want theirs after hearing this let me know, and I will be happy to give you pennies on the dollar for your M1A. Also, what's the range if you don't have a scope on it, 100yrds?

    Why Don't You Shoot In Local Matches?

    I have been thinking of getting into the garand high power matches, but have run into several problems. First, I have to belong to the range to take part in them, locally at least. That's $250-$400 a year for range fees, because only the most expensive ranges around me have them. Add onto...

    I want to hear from the 1911 guys?

    Kimber has been my first, and so far, only 1911 purchase. I will bet my life on it, and do when I carry it. That being said, I am currently looking to swap out for a Colt WWI/WWII reproduction 1911. I've wanted a 1911 like that since I was a kid growing up, and I think this may be the year...

    gun you regret buying...

    The first pistol I ever bought, Springfield XD45. New, right when they first came out. Turned out to not be the best pistol, but I regret it more because I had the chance to buy a Springfield 1911a1 instead, a gun that I have wanted for years, but for what ever reason I went with the xd.
