I'm a happy user of an IWB Kydex Holster. I wear my IWB holster against my skin (yes, tucked into my boxers too). While this does create less movement and more friction, I would like to make the skin side of my kydex holster a little less slick so it stays in place even better. I do want...

I currently have an AR stripped lower and a lower build kit. However, I do not have the upper. I've been waiting for my favorite 20" upper to come back into stock (fat chance now). While I'm hoping and lobbying for no additional gun laws, I'm wondering if the sale of new ARs becomes illegal...

I've always wanted a M1 Garand! And, now I may have an opportunity to buy one from an old family friend. However, I'm clueless when it comes to the different variants and values of this legendary battle rifle. I would appreciate any advice on what to look for, as well as information on the...

I'm considering choices for 9mm self-defense ammo. I see that Speer makes some "short barrel" Gold Dot ammo in addition to their standard Gold Dot offerings. On the other hand I'm attracted to the relatively new Hornady Critical DUTY, but Hornady says "these loads are NOT optimized for short...

As a fan of YouTube’s tnoutdoors9 I recently learned of Underwood Ammo (underwoodammo.com). tnoutdoors9 clocked their .357 Magnum load with the 125 grain Golden Saber bullet from a 3” Ruger GP100 at 1441 fps (5-shot avg.). With that kind of velocity from a shorter barrel, I had to try some for...

Through news sources I'll hear of people, home owners, shop owners, etc who defend themselves with a firearm. It seems to me, more often than not, that once a firearm is presented in self defense that most criminals run away. Anyone have the facts on this? Do armed criminals usually fight or...

I went to the range today and shot various loads with my Shooting Chrony F1 Chronograph. Here were the results: From Glock 26 (3.5" barrel): 9mm Blazer 115gr FMJ - 5 Shot Avg: 1061 fps 9mm Federal HST 147gr+P - 5 Shot Avg: 1045 fps From Ruger SP101 (2.25" barrel): .38Spl Reloads 158gr...

Can I use a Lone Wolf Barrel for a Glock 17 in a Glock 26? I'm wanting to shoot some lead reloads in my Glock 17 and in my Glock 26. But, if possible, I'd like to buy only one aftermarket lead compatible barrel. Knowing that Lone Wolf sells extended length standard and ported barrels, I'm...

I have a Remington 870 Tactical like THIS ONE. I purchased it for Home Defense, Turkey, and Deer. I took it out to the range the other day and shot slugs at a life size human silhouette target. I shot at only 25 yards and ended up with a nice group right in the head. The problem?... I was...

I'm a happy new owner of a Glock 21SF (3rd Gen). This is my first .45ACP, so I'm new to this caliber. For self/home defense, I'm considering three loads... Federal HST (P45HST2) Winchester "T" Series (RA45T) Speer Gold Dot (53966). All of these loads are 230 JHP (non +P). My question...

Holy Giant Lead Balls Batman! UPDATED: Tested/Patterned UPDATED Post May 6, 2011: Today, I went out and tried the Centurion load described below. Here are my observations: 1) The recoil was not as bad as I anticipated. About the same as regular buckshot. 2) It made a very unique sound when...

Hey all, I inherited and old 20 gauge Winchester Model 12. Its a fun gun and the action is like butter. While it is without a doubt a nice little quail, dove, or clays gun, it also happens to be my home defense gun. Would it hurt to fire slugs through this lightweight and thin barreled...

It seems like Smith and Wesson occasionally offered rebates on their M&P (AR-15) Rifles. If I recall correctly, they were usually for $100 or five Magpul mags. I've not seen this rebate offer in quite some time. Does anyone have a heads up on these rebates? Are we likely to see these rebates...

Like most here, I'm from the United States. However, I do get to travel occasionally to different parts of the world. When I see a uniformed officer, soldier, or security guard I find it interesting to see what they're carrying. I'm curious what other people have seen too. Please tell us...

I'm new to deer hunting and have recently acquired a "steal-of-a-deal" used Marlin lever action .30-30. My question is multi-fold... 1) If you carefully load one round in the chamber and one round in the magazine (load round one into the tube, chamber it, then load round two into the tube), is...

I have a new 870 Tactical Express like this one: http://remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model-870/model-870-express-tactical.aspx I've put about 125 rounds through it, but I've had about 10 or 12 failures to fully extract. When I move the bolt backwards, the spent shell does not...

Like the title says... (Lets assume it's carried in a IWB or OWB holster.) Slide Length Grip Length Pistol Thickness Thanks! :D

I love my East German Makarov, but its no 10oz. pocket pistol. So... why don't the gun manufacturers make a pocket pistol similar to the Ruger LCP or Kel-Tec P-3AT in 9x18 Makarov? I see some advantages to such an option: - more available ammo - cheaper ammo - slightly more power than .380...

I recently purchased two Cold Steel knives. Both had misprinted logos that said "COLO STEEL" instead of the proper "COLD STEEL" (see attached pic). I attempted to contact Cold Steel customer service by email. Below is a cut-and-paste of my email interaction with them. Bottom line: I will...

Here's a PIC of the Winchester Ranger Bonded 124gr. 9mm+P (RA9BA). For reference, the round on the far right is a 115gr Winchester Silvertip. The very shallow hollow point seems strange to me. I guess I assume this round would be less likely to open up as much as the HST or Gold Dot. This...
