    Shopping for an AR and Pistol help

    BSA1 said it well. I can't offer an opinion on the AR, but I will on the handgun. I'm a newbie - less than 4000 rounds through my Sig SP2022 and Sig GSR 1911. But everyone reacts differently to the type of handgun he is shooting. Double action revolver, single action 1911, DA/SA...

    CZ Rami

    Not looking to hijack this thread, but I can't let comments like this pass by without stepping in. I see lots of people snubbing the likes of the new Sig P225-A1 because it only holds 8 rounds. Yet, it's a single stack that people seem to really like in their hands. So, is it the Sig that...

    Firearms for a College Student

    I'll have to agree with Black Knight. I didn't see any reference to her size, so any specific gun suggestion may not be realistic for her. I'd suggest finding a good, reputable LGS and working with them. I'm sure they would work with her to find the right solution.

    Px4 Storm: Good? Bad?

    If you are looking for DA/SA in 9mm, might I suggest a Sig SP2022? Standard mag is 15 rounds, but you can get 17 round MecGars. If you can, try one.

    There's Hope For Those Aging Eyes

    Multi-Focal Contacts Hi All. I started wearing glasses almost 10 years ago when I turned 50. Went from single vision readers to progressive lenses for near and distance correction. Almost 2 years ago when I got my exam, the doctor wanted to up my prescription. He asked me if I wanted...

    What 9mm handgun?

    I'll play. $800? Sig SP2022, extra mags, and a Gunvault Nano Vault. And you would probably still have some $ left over for range ammo... I'll admit I'm prejudiced to Sig and their DA/SA and decockers. I don't care for manual safeties to worry about. And if a round doesn't go bang...

    First Time Handgun Buyers Advice...

    Sp2022 OK - I'm relatively new to this and I'm not impartial as my one and only handgun is a Sig SP2022 in 9mm. I really like this gun. I don't like the idea of a safety (one less thing to think about under stress). I like having a hammer. I like having a de-cocker. It's more accurate than...

    Dog leash in one hand, flashlight in the other...

    Again, thanks for all the replies! Often times it is not possible for me to walk our dog in daylight, especially in the winter months. I get home too late from work and it gets dark too early. I do put my hand through the loop at the end of the leash, but also grab the leash with my hand...

    Dog leash in one hand, flashlight in the other...

    Thanks all for the responses - many more than I imagined. One point of clarity: I do not walk with the flashlight turned on all the time. It is mainly to make drivers aware of our presence and not run into us. I usually turn the light on full and illuminate us so the driver can see us. So...

    Dog leash in one hand, flashlight in the other...

    Hi all. Looking for help on this. I walk our dog at night, usually after dark. So, in the left hand is the dog leash. In the right hand is my flashlight (usually a Zebralight SC600 - great flashlight!). The other night my dog kept tugging at something behind us. When I looked and hit the...

    What is the best new 9mm pistol for under $600.00?

    The Forgotten Sig That would be the SP2022. With night sights, $499.95 at Top Gun Supply. Comes with only 1 magazine, but 2 will run you $80 at TGS. So 3 mags total and you are still under the $600 of the OP.

    First Rifle recommendations

    Wow! Thanks everyone for your responses. I apologize for the lack of details in my original post. It was late, and I should have waited until I was thinking clearly. So, let me fill in a few details. First, the main purpose for the rifle would be target shooting. I would thoroughly enjoy...

    First Rifle recommendations

    Hi all. Total newbie as far as rifles go. I'm looking for sage advice on what would be your recommendation for purchasing a first rifle. Caveats: This would be for general purpose target shooting & hunting larger game as I do have a Remington 552 Speedmaster .22 I could use for squirrels...

    22's and scopes

    TomADC (Post #15) & Skoro (Post #25) - I recently received a Remington 552 as a gift. I wear glasses, which makes using the iron sights difficult. Do either of you wear glasses? If so, do you shoot with them on or adjust your scope to match your diopter? TomADC - what is the scope you have...

    What are some good full size handguns for $300-$400?

    SigSauer SP2022 Well, since my Sig Sauer SP2022 9mm was my first (and so far only) handgun purchase, I am quite biased. The more I shoot it, the better it feels. As pat701 said, buy it new and it comes with the lifetime warranty. Bought mine through a gunbroker.com auction. Total cost was...

    Light on your conceal carry. What happened to me, last night.

    floorit76 - I have a Xeno E03. Great little light. Please understand those 400 lumens only come when using a LiIon 14500 cell. But, it will run on any "AA" size cell. Just not as bright. Has to do with cell chemistry, voltage, mAH...much more technical than I am qualified to discuss. It's...

    Gunbroker Scam?

    As others have suggested, use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to clean your system. I will also suggest using CCleaner to clear all of your temporary files and internet history. Both are free & well respected programs. No, they do not try to charge you after running. You can get them both at...

    Use middle finger for trigger pull?

    Wow - thanks for all the replies / feedback! I was in a hurry to get to a meeting when I posted my original question, so I probably did a poor job of explaining myself. I would never attempt this with my gun in its present form. Only if I had some form of barrier between my index finger...

    Use middle finger for trigger pull?

    Alright, first off I'm pretty new with shooting, especially handguns. The other day I was dry firing my gun (Sig SP2022) with the purpose of pointing without aiming. I would then check the sights to see if I was actually aimed at my target. That made me wonder if I could place my index finger...
