I have been using firearms since I can remember (and I'm about to turn 60.) My dad taught me safety with firearms and hunting beginning when I was a child, he was career Army. I've carried a firearm for my jobs since I was 21. During this time, and since I've retired from LEO and security jobs...

My season is over, but was finally a successful one :). I was just thinking about deer stands and deer stuff, and the things I bought over the years trying to be successful. I think I'm learning most of the scent killers, camo and all that, turns out to be more for me than the deer. My dad...

I had a Glock 23 in .40 and sold it to buy a P320 in 9mm a few months ago. Since then, I've kept looking at all this .40 ammo still on my shelf with no gun to use it in. I'm also not convinced .40 is going out of favor as much as my gun shop thinks. But that may be to my advantage. He has a...

I posted a thread a few weeks ago about seeing this buck on my trail cam and the area he was in was only about a 25 yard clearing. So I had decided to downsize my caliber to a .45 Colt in a Rossi 92 using iron sights. First day of the season on Saturday, I was there, but didn't see him. At dark...

I bought an M&P15 2 Sport a couple of years ago as my first AR. I have enjoyed it, and last year I built a coyote specific AR to hunt with. (Watched youtube to learn how.) This year I wanted to get in on some sales and build a rifle that closely mimicked the rifle my dad used in his two tours...

I usually hunt a particular field on my property that is far from the road and next to a neighbor's hunting "meca". He has deer feeding plots all over his acreage and every year the whole family tags out. So I set up in a blind with my .35 Marlin 336 with a scope. I have had on and off success...

As a retired LEO, I do not want to start a discussion on a do/don't shoot on a youtube video (however I don't agree with these being used as entertainment). However, my question is on the handgun the officer is displaying at around the 6.50 mark. In 1989 I carried the S&W 645, that model soon...

What rifles surprised you with their accuracy and didn't cost you an arm and a leg. 1. Marlin model 60W. Found at a LGS on consignment for $125.00. While I have a Marlin and a Ruger already, I was intrigued with the longer barrel. With the scope it is my most accurate .22 with CCI Standard...

Just heads up, KYGUNCO just sent me an email with M&P Sport 2 for $519.99 and free shipping. They are good people to deal with.

My wife just turned 56 and uses a walker and has some arthritis in her hands. I've carried and shot firearms all my life both professionally and for enjoyment like hunting or competition. For the last couple of months I have been training her to shoot so she can get her CCDW permit, which she...

I have talked about this on the THR forum before, but I took the plunge. I have been wanting a specific rifle for my needs to hunt coyotes on my farm. I already have an M&P15 Sport 2 that shoots great, but I wanted something specific that I would scope for out to 200 yards or so. I couldn't...

I am looking to build a little coyote rifle and was going to buy or build an upper to put on my M&P Sport 2 lower just to swap in and out when I go hunting. But, my local gun store has a shipment of PSA complete lowers in and with my 10% discount I can get one for $179.00. I'd probably swap the...

I have a S&W Sport II and it has been great for what I need around the farm and for SD rifle. However, I am looking at maybe ordering a mid or rifle length upper without the front sight to use for coyote and varmint hunting. I need to know if I will need to change out the buffer tube and buffer...

Well, I've been watching KY Gun Company for some time and looking on the website at the prices for their Tristar L120 CZ clones. I've never owned a CZ type handgun before, but was wanting a full size DA/SA 9mm. As a background, I carried revolvers on the job in the late '70's and early...

There are threads about what handgun one carries when hunting, hiking, biking, walking the dog, riding the tractor and on and on. I may have missed it but I haven't seen one for fishing boats. I know off shore boats sometimes have a long gun stowed on board, but I'm in Kentucky and am just...

As per the request of our gov't, I discussed Gun Control with the family during out Thanksgiving Dinner. I stressed to my nephew and others the many important aspects of Gun Control and why it was needed. Such as Squeezing the trigger and not jerking it, to help aid in accurate bullet placement...

I took my scope off my 10/22 last spring and then replaced it with a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot from my AR15. Been shooting and banging around all summer with it and have it sighted in with CCI minimags. Took it out today and was hitting bulls-eyes and a 3" steel disc out to 65 yards. So now I'm...

I have an M&P15 carbine and was looking at a Delton 20" complete upper at Bud's for $379.00. I'd like to have a 20" A2 style looking rifle, but I don't want, nor have the funds to buy another complete rifle at this time. I already have the carry handle, so all I'd have to buy is an upper and a...

I stopped by Kentucky Gun Company on my way home today and wanted to check out a Tristar copy of the CZ75. They had an L120 there that I checked out. I was surprised that it was as light as it was. It seemed to handle pretty sweet and fit my hand good. I've heard good things about the...

Genuinely curious. Have been watching some of the YouTube videos from Afghanistan and Iraq of the recent fighting. Is there a major manufacturer for the AK's everyone (Army and militants) over there seems to be using? Are they Russian or what. Looks like everyone carries a full auto AK over...
