I have considered using this for my defensive round in my AK. I havent decided if I am going to sell my AK or not but for the time being I want something better than FMJ for defense and I refuse to pay $1 a pop for something that probably wont perform much better. Does anyone know of any tests...

Im not sure if I have posted this before but I figured with new members and with many that dont visit everyday this could be interesting for them to see. If its the wrong forum, I apologize. These are some blocks that I shot a little over a year ago. I wanted to see side by side how my two...

This isn't a caliber debate, I am genuinely interested to know how many people have ever had their a .22LR as their self defense weapon? My very first gun was a .22LR, and being my only gun, that was what I was force to rely on. There was also a point where my only pocket pistol was a .22LR, and...

Does anyone here watch this show? Thoughts, opinions?

I know many people fill out a bill of sale of some sort during face to face and other private party transactions, but I am wondering what information you all typically provide. In my opinion, some forms of BOS require more information than I am willing to provide. I even had a few sellers...

Im sure everyone has a firearm or two that they consider their beater gun; Something they aren't afraid to take in bad conditions, something they aren't afraid to get dropped, scratched, abused, ect but something they are confident that it will still work fine and serve its purpose. Normally...

I have been a firearm enthusiast for 12-15 years now and I am a collector as well. I have a variety of firearms that can fit a number of roles as well as several that I just wanted for no particular reason besides the collection aspect. I think its a great hobby and anyone responsible and...

Just curious if anyone here owns any cannons? I figure with as many lifelong firearm collectors here there must be a few cannon owners around here as well.

Does anyone know of a good reputable online appraiser for antique weapons? I have a cannon that I want to get appraised, or at least get further information on. I cant find anyone in my area an was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I bought a Charter Arms Undercover .38 Special a few years ago and put a few cylinders through it and put it up in the safe until I shot it yesterday. With a newly cleaned weapon, the weapon jammed after the second round. Feeling it was unsafe to shoot, I put it up until I could look at it. I...

I bought a cannon I have never seen before over the weekend. I have been searching for a couple days and havent found any info on it. It measures about 20 inches overall with a 12 inch barrel. It is solid cast iron and has the letters RMI cast into it. Does anyone have any information on this at...

I decided to do a fair, even test today comparing the .22LR and the .25ACP from pocket pistol length barrels. The .22LR was fired from a 2.5 inch barrel, and the .25ACP was fired from a 2.25 inch barrel. Ammunition used was typical, full powered generic ammunition for each caliber- CCI 40 grain...

If you had to use FMJ and was forced to pick between 9mm and .45, what would you choose? Weapons and ammo- Glock 19 and full sized 1911. Ammo was WWB, and the direction of travel was from the right. The .45ACP is on top and 9mm is on bottom. I use Gold Dots, I just thought it would...

I spotted a box of ammunition I never seen before- Hornadys SUPERFORMANCE .223REM 75 grain OTM at an advirtised 2900 FPS. This block was a spare that I didnt calibrate, but a previous block from another test was correct. Fired from an 18 inch barrel at a distance of 10 feet...

Between the Speer 124 grain +P Gold Dots and the Speer 230 grain Short Barrel Gold Dots. Weapons are Glock 19 and a Glock 30. The .45 came from the right, the 9mm came from the left. No clothing, 5 feet distance. The 9mm penetrated to 12 inches, the .45 penetrated to 12.25 inches. The 9mm...

A single round fired from a Colt 14.5 1:7 at a distance of 15 meters into jugs of water. Bullet likely yawed and fragmented, with two major peices progressing the channel. The base penetrated 20 inches of water, and was recovered in clothing that was placed behind the jugs. The nose (steel) was...

Hello. Qualification is coming up, and besides that, I have been interested in medium range precision shooting, between 100 and 300 yards shooting. My goal is to, with a stock 16 inch Bushmaster 5.56x45 and milsurp ammo, shoot consistantly 2-4 MOA, but WITHOUT scopes, and using just...

Hello. I was just curious what the typical group sizes are at 100 yards using open sites? Took my Bushy to the range to rezero after over a year of not shooting it, and just for kicks I set the target to 100 yards to see what I could get. The holes marked with + surrounding the...

Hello. I have come across this rifle in my search for an M1 Garand. He wants $750 for it. He doesnt know TE or ME, but said someone told him is was all SA matching parts, and that when a round is put in the muzzle, the case doesnt come close to the crown. Made in Sep 44, comes with 12 enbloc...

Hello. I have been bitten by the bug to get another rifle. I want a .308 or .30-06, with decent accuracy (2MOA or less if possible), preferably semi auto, rugged and reliable. I was recommended the M1 garand on another forum, and found some for sale online. I was just wondering if these...
