    Hi-Point .380 ACP vs 9mm Recoil

    These two guns are pretty much identical in every way other than the ammunition fired. Am I safe to assume the .380 has less recoil than the 9mm?

    Suppressor on Your Conceal/Carry Gun

    Just felt like learning a bit here.. Would it ever be legal to have a suppressor on your conceal & carry handgun? Also, could it serve you any real purpose other than being badass? I don't really see a suppressed weapon being very "Defensive".

    Permit To Carry Under Age 21 - Minnesota

    Seems like I need to jump through loopholes left and right. I already figured how to get a handgun legally. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get a Permit To Carry being under age 21. Anyone know of any loopholes? A friend of mine told me she got her Permit To Carry as a MINOR. Not sure if...

    Self-Defense With A Tanto Blade

    Quite frankly I'd like to carry a dagger on me but I'm not interested in breaking laws to defend myself.. So my double-edged blades will have to stay at home. I was wondering specifically if you can effectively stab or thrust with a tanto blade. I just can't picture a slashing motion having any...

    Buying A Gun To Resell?

    I was wondering.. Is it still a straw purchase if you're buying a gun to resell it in a business aspect? (For profit). For example: I want to make some extra money.. I buy 10 rifles from an FFL with the intention of selling them over time at a profit to nobody specific (in private trade). Sorta...

    Convincing A Parent To Buy You A Gun

    My 19th birthday is next month.. Money isn't an issue, I just want a cheap Hi-Point handgun. My mom is fairly neutral on guns yet I'm worried she'll say no if I ask for one from her. Any tips or advice on convincing her if necessary?

    Handgun Recoil

    A nooby handgun question here... Do handguns of the same caliber generally have the same amount of recoil? I know weight is a factor, but how much of a factor? I ask this because.. I want to try out various calibers but I may not want the exact firearm I'm trying it out on.. Know what I mean...

    Price To Reload

    Not including the equipment you purchase to do the reloading, but the materials for the ammo itself. How much does it cost? Specifically .45 ACP.

    Steel Cased Ammo

    My local range doesn't allow it, why do some ranges ban steel-cased ammo?

    Underage Carry Indoors? lol

    This may sound odd but I was wondering if anyone would know.. Could I have my handgun on me if I didn't go outside but left my individual apartment? It would probably be considered illegally carrying the very second I step out of my apartment's door into the hallway, eh? I was just...

    Police Firing Ranges

    I'm not sure how it works.. Do LEOs get free range access at the police department? How about ammo for the range?

    Practicing With .22LR Handgun

    Since these guns and ammo are usually inexpensive it would be easy to get in LOTS of practice.. My question is: would practice with a .22LR also improve your skill with other calibers?

    Legal Strawman Purchase?

    I can legally buy a handgun in private trade and I can legally own a handgun.. I CANNOT legally buy one from FFL at my age. Taking into account those things, would this be an illegal "strawman purchase" if I were to have my cousin get a brand new handgun from FFL then I pay him the money?

    Open vs Concealed Carry

    Here in MN I can open carry with a carry license. I was just wondering what you guys think. I know a few of the pros and cons already but do you have some more in-depth opinions to offer?

    Selling Spent Shell Casings?

    First off, I assume that is what people are usually referring to by "brass" in terms of reloading, correct? If so, I could just save them all up and sell them to reloaders? Sounds like I'd be making some of my money back when I buy ammo for the range. =]

    Some Noobie Handgun Questions

    I'd appreciate not getting flamed out or anything. Just trying to learn. That being said, I am set in stone that I want to buy the 1911A1-45CS RIA TAC. I'm probably going to get a duracoat on it. ANYWAYS, do you duracoat the grip as well or not? Also, how can I know if I am able to replace the...
