I guess I read to much. One thing I run across to often is when a child gets killed by a gun. I'm not talking about a drive by, there's to many of those. I'm saying kids dying accidentally in the home, in the car, where they have access to a loaded firearm. The numbers are there. If a gun is...

I'm not that new to guns but I came to them later in life. I try to follow all the safety rules and doing so I'm pretty comfortable around the things. Cautious but Comfortable. I haven't purchased a new gun in a while. Then I purchased a new revolver. Let me tell even before I loaded the...

I want them both but in the near future I'm looking for something that's ultra reliable, reasonably easy to maintain and accurate with iron sites. The locale Bass Mountain (no shill am I) had a mini-14 For 780 bucks. What could I get in an AR at that price point? The Mini 14 came with only 1-5...

I recently bought a 357 lever gun mostly because I thought it would be fun. I took for granted that if needed it would a pretty good SD gun in the home but after looking at some charts I'm not so sure. 357 magnum out of an 18" barrel will generally get you 1000ft/lbs energy. Maybe I'm wrong...

First off I have my own opinion of the 2nd amendment. The problem right now is that the anti's believe they can and should get rid of it and the pro's that think that the anti's have the power to do so. So here is my proposal. Start the process to amend the constitution. Let the people...

Been wondering which is better for carry. Black or stainless? Would a more visible gun put you at a disadvantage in a dangerous situation?

I decided to check the tightness of the grip screw on my revolver. It felt a little high the last time I used it. I was all ready to tighten it and thought that this wasn't something I should be doing with a loaded gun. Even then it took awhile to convince myself to unload it. My thought process...

I just bought a Rossi M92 Carbine in 357 magnum in SS. I was always a fan of Winchester lever guns and found a Rossi at the Houston gun show. It seems well built and the trigger is pretty smooth. I haven't had time to take it to the range yet. Anyone have experience with them? What type of...

While cleaning my Beretta 96 I noticed a bullet indentation in the follower. The magazines are about 10 years old and still perform flawlessly. Is it time to overhaul them and replace with metal followers or don't worry about it.

Seems the press and most politicians are convinced that Zimmerman was wrong. The Senator for NY weighed in by saying these laws have to be looked into and out of 13 times the law was used 12 of the people shot were not armed. I don't know the know what motivated those shootings but I realize...

Finally I've decided to get a resident ccw in Texas. What should I expect as far as testing - written and otherwise. Also will I be able to carry any hand gun (I intend to test with a semi auto) or do I have to pick one and stay with that. Fyi close encounters of a four legged kind have...

I've been thinking about getting a desk gun or something along the line of sub-compact carry pistol when I get a CCW and ran across a the 9mm Beratta Nano. So I checked Beretta Forum and there was endless threads about it's lack of reliability. Some of the posters concluded as a pistol gets...

Been trying to figure out what style rifle I would like. I've been looking at a CZ 527 Varmit. One problem is that it doesn't have iron sights. Yes I know the LUX has iron sights but I would like to have something built with peep sights. I shoot better with a peep compared to a v-notch. Ruger...

It was pretty cold the last time I went to the range. I shot worse than I ever did. I really couldn't get a good grip on the gun. Anyone else have this problem? anyway it could be improved on?

I can't count the times I woke up in the middle of the night to a suspicious sound (usually my wife waking me up saying did you hear that?) . I think it's the ice machine again but I'm awake so I get the pistol, take off the safety. Grab the 5 cell flashlight and begin my patrol. Flashlight...

Leaving Texas heading for Tennessee at least for awhile. n:)I will be staying at a hotel for a spell then transitioning to an apartment. Don't expect to purchase until I make it official and get a Tennessee drivers license. What are my options there can I bring my handgun there if I stay at...

Turn in your guns cowboy. There's a new sheriff in town. Is that just a Hollywood myth. It was a popular plot line in many western movies that I grew up seeing. Any truth to it?

Beretta 96 fs convertable to 9mm? Just thinking what if I could?

How long can you keep a cap and ball revolver loaded and expect it to fire. Knew a gentleman that said he used a Walker for self defence. No doubt about it's potency but I would be concerned with reliability.

20 arrested for illeagally buying hundreds of AK-47's in Arizona. Been wondering how guns get to the street.:mad: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41257218/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts
