I bought a GLock 17 about 10 years ago. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it was a 9mm, but that is a personal thing. Regardless, I shot the heck out of it and carried it daily knowing it would work if I needed it. All around I think the 17 is still Glock's best gun. I've had...

I have a WASR-10 that is a good rifle. Canted gas tubes and canted sight blocks are common on these rifles, so look carefully to be sure you get a good one. As long as you keep in mind that the AK is not a match rifle you should be pleased. They are utterly reliable; mags, ammo and parts are...

Without a doubt, the AK.

My vote would be for the Kimber. I am biased towards the 1911 in almost every situation. The trigger will be better, it will be more accurate, and the 8 vs. 10 round issue is really a non-issue if you can shoot. I'm in AL, so things might be different where you are, but $800 for a used TLE...

Mybe I have missed the point entirely, but what does cell phones have to do with my safe?

Just because one snipes... Does not make him a Sniper. My take is the SKS is comparable to the Mini-14 as issued to some LEOs as a patrol rifle. I like the SKS, but I would hardly take it as a sniper weapon. The rifle could also be issued to some officers in a supervisory position for...

I'm not sure how "low power" you are willing to go, but I mounted a 1x Target Sports dot, from CDNN, to my AK. I know it's not the "best" dot sight on the market, but it does what I want it to. It has a 20mm tube and a 4MOA dot (at 100 yards). These can be set up using either the side mount...

This is just my opinion, so yake it for what it's worth. I think the primary reason is availability and price of ammo. There is just so much 7.62 and .223 out there. It's also cheaper. I also think the reason the 7.62 is so much more popular has to do with a few things. First, there are...

I love AKs and will always have one. The best thing you can do before you do anything is look at your expectations and go from there. It is possible that the AR you have can be worked on to give you the performance you desire. Having said that, I would choose the AK over the AR almost every...

If I were forced to make a choice for one in a defensive role while still allowed a long gun it would be .45 ACP. If I was limited to one weapon and it was a handgun I would go with the .357 mag. For me the .45 ACP is the perfect blend of power and controlability (especially with a 1911) for...

No hard feeligs here. All's well that ends well.

This will be my last post as it is obvious we are not trying to come to any agreement. I really do want to keep from stating the obvious as it shoud be, well, obvious, but I feel it needs to be done. I am not, nor have I ever said, that the safety of children (or any other person for that...

I carried and shot a 22 for over three years. Never a problem, never a malfunction. The so-called "dangerous unsupported chamber" is way overblown (no pun intended). There are plenty of pistols that do not have fully supported chambers (the correct term), including the 1911 (which is my...

Ex-MA Hole, I think you missed the point. Most people either way under or over-estimate the potential for penetration of their handgun rounds. The point I was trying to make is that, most of the time, whatever you have loaded will be enough if you do your part as most of us are not assaulting...

I have never seen or heard any good reason to mix ammo in a carry situation. The only time I ever mix loads is when I am testing a pistol for reliable function and, even then, the practice is dubious - done mostly for fun. The main reason, for me, at least, that I would not do it is that...

A very light coating of oil (very light) in the gas tube helps in reliable function and also helps to keep rust from forming in the gas tube. SKS gas tubes will rust causing friction between the piston and all surfaces it comes in contact with and could lead to spotty reliability and, worse...

I would have taken a few steps back and inform him of the article you read in which an innocent shooter was mauled to death by an angry mountain biker trying to protect her cubs who were on tricycles near by. Seriously, I had something like this happen when a female Granola began to berate...

I like pistols mainly because that's what I learned on. I know many people who are proficent with a revolver and can shoot rings around most people with a pistol. As long as you're hitting it really doesn't matter.

Sounds like the recoil spring to me.

Ask ten people and you will get ten different answers. I prefer to keep both eyes open but others like to close one eye. I like not cutting my field of vision, but if you're hitting (and your target is not capable of shooting back) be happy and enjoy.
