    30-06 bolt gun suggestions

    I would likely go with a Savage and not a Winchester. I want to puke every time I think about my Winchester SXP Defender being built in Turkey. The traditional American arms makers(Winchester, Browning, Remington, Colt, S&W, Springfield, along with some newer manufactures like Ruger) need to...

    Help me pick a new 1911

    ^Odd that has been 100% of my experience with Ed Brown magwells. And yes I have plenty of pics if needed. I've on my 3rd magwell from them, and am just living with it as I'm tired of sending them back and forth, but everyone starts going bad/rusting in just a matter of weeks. I guess people...

    Help me pick a new 1911

    I have a Colt Combat Elite. It's pretty much just a XSE with a blued slide. It's been a great pistol for me and I defiantly recommend it.

    Anyone here have a FN FNS-9?

    Thanks guys! How would y'all rate it as a CC gun? Is it too big to conceal easily? How would it compare to say a G19 for CC?

    Anyone here have a FN FNS-9?

    I haven't seem one in any gun shops, but am really interested in one. I'm sure some on here own one. How do you feel it compares to other popular striker fired pistols?(Glock, XD, MP, etc) Most reviews on it seem to be pretty favorable. What are the best prices you can find them for? For what...

    Gen III Glock 20?

    I also replace the factory recoil spring assembly in my Gen3 G20SF with a Wolff 22lb steel rod assembly. The factory one worked fine, but the stiffer aftermarket assembly makes the gun nicer to shoot with higher power loads, but still seems to work just fine with lighter loads.

    Are Colt 1911s good for the price?

    Yes in my experience Colt makes excellent 1911's. I have felt over loose ones though, but those were in no way new guns. Didn't Colt suffer from quality issues back in the 80's or something? I've been more than happy with my 2010 model Combat Elite. It is tight without being too tight,(smooth...

    New FN 15 Carbine vs Colt LE6920

    But I though Colt also built AR's for our Armed Forces? Maybe I should just build a similar AR. The main office for PSA is like 20 minutes from me. I'm thinking I can probably build a similar gun for noticeably cheaper. I've modded several of my guns, but never built one piecing parts I've...

    First Glock

    Great choice. My first Glock was a G20 also. lol

    New FN 15 Carbine vs Colt LE6920

    I'm no AR expert but I've shot a couple, and I would like to pick a M4 style AR up at some point. I'm kind of a Colt guy for my 1911's and whatnot, but I live in Columbia, SC where FN Manufacturing is located, and it's nice to buy a gun manufactured in your hometown IMO, and obviously FN's...

    Is Winchester Super Double X Magnum the hardest firing 12 ga ammo around

    This is the hardest recoiling and least fun 12 ga I've ever shot other than a cheap single/double shot 12 ga. Hell my dad has a NEF 20 ga single shot and even that thing is a PITA to shot. Still this gun kicks hard. 3" buckshot feels terrible in this thing. It's been a while since I've shot one...

    Is Winchester Super Double X Magnum the hardest firing 12 ga ammo around

    I'm not really looking for overly hard shooting rounds necessarily. Probably any 00 buckshot is more than powerful enough to put a home invader on their ass with the quickness. I want a gun that manages recoils somewhat decently. Maybe one reason this gun kicks so hard is because it's so damn...

    Is Winchester Super Double X Magnum the hardest firing 12 ga ammo around

    I think it's mechanically almost the same gun even though it's cosmetically different. And your probably right, but maybe I should try it with less powerful rounds. The stuff I fired today really surprised me in how hard it made the gun recoil. Speed loading doesn't do much good IMO if it...

    what JHP ammo in an XDs .45?

    I highly agree with Thompsoncustom. Underwood Ammo's Gold Dot loads are the shiznit in any size round. They are my favorite round regardless of the caliber I've shot. .38, 9mm, 10mm, .45ACP, etc. I generally prefer a heavier gr bullet so I say 230 gr for .45 ACP, but I do think a 185 gr bullet...

    Is Winchester Super Double X Magnum the hardest firing 12 ga ammo around

    If not then my new 12 ga is a POS. My gosh the recoil this gun produces, and this is only 2-3/4 shells I'm shooting. I normally don't consider myself weak but after only three shots my shoulder is a little sore. Lets just say you defiantly won't mistake this gun for a Beretta. Also every time...

    Thinking about making the jump

    If what you are looking for is a honest opinion then here is mine. First when it comes to 1911's I'm a Colt man. They are the originator of it. I own a Combat Elite. I have a buddy with a Delta Elite and it's a nice enough gun, but in reality it's just not as good a handgun to use in the woods...

    Ammo recommendations

    Pretty much all the ammo I buy anymore for my Pistols is Underwood Ammo. It's not really the cheapest plinking ammo, but it is excellent stuff for the $, and very hard to beat for the $ also. Their rounds loaded with Gold Dots are really good SD rounds IMO. I tend to prefer heavier grain bullets...

    10 mm matching spring to load

    ^ Yes Underwood Ammo makes some great 10mm loads. I shot some back to back with some similarly rated DT ammo,(both where 200 gr JHP's rated at 1200 FPS I believe) and you could honestly tell that the Underwood Ammo noticeably hotter. I own a G20, and run a 22lb recoil spring in it. I believe...

    Advice on my first handgun

    Are you just loooking for something to plink and target shoot with? If so then yes I recommend a .22LR but I personally don't own one so I won't recommend one. I will say that I know people Ruger MK II/III's that like them. For an all around gun the can also be used for SD, and is easy enough...
