I know this is talked about a lot, but I still have some trouble deciding. I have just sold all my pistols and am getting one .45. Money is not an issue. Originally I was set on the HK USP 45, but I've shot friends' through the years and, despite it's reputation for reliability, I do see it...

I'm either going to get an AR15 carbine or Marlin .357 Magnum levergun for home defense. I'm not asking about the platforms, though, but calibers. Which round has better terminal performance? Which one is more likely to stop the threat, assuming both are high quality hollow points or...

I've been considering getting a current production S&W 627 PC 5" barrel. It's the stainless 8 shot. I've been looking into S&W reviews lately and people seem to be complaining about their quality control, even with PC models. Canted barrels, poor crowning, etc. Of particular concern are the...

I've been carrying my 686 4" loaded with .38 Special +P, but I'd like to move up carrying .357 Magnum ammo in it. I practice a lot with .357 anyway, so it would be smarter. I'd like to carry a load that isn't so hot that follow up shots are difficult, but not the watered down "short barrel"...

My daily carry is a S&W Model 19 blued with a 4" barrel, loaded with 125 grain loads, with a Glock 26 as backup. I used to never second guess that 6 shots was enough until I started reading other opinions on the internet :D Now I'm not so sure. I love my revolver and have shot so many...

Federal makes some reduced recoil .308 loads that sends a 170 grain bullet going 2,000 FPS. This is about like a 30-30 or 7.62x39, isn't it? Could it be practical for home defense? I have an M1A with an 18" barrel that I am very comfortable with. I've shot over 20k rounds through M14 type...

I know most say use a shotgun for home defense, but I don't care for them. I want a rifle/carbine that I can use as my "go to" self defense rifle. It'll be for home defense and truck gun, may use it to take deer or such if the occasion calls for it. It should also be suitable for any...

I've done a lot of research, but the choices are so similar it's hard to pick. Basically, I want a 12 gauge pump that can be used for self defense and duck hunting. So interchangeable barrels would be nice. I want it to be supremely reliable and durable. I want to be able to pass it down...

Is the Colt (not other manufacturers) 1911 a reliable gun? Since there are so many 1911 makers, I guess I'll limit this question to Colt 1911's specifically.

I'm getting a self defense .45 pistol. I know there are many more pros and cons to each handgun, but these are the ones that matter to me most. Based on this list, what would you pick? -Colt M1911A1 (1991 series) Pros: I like it and have desire for one (good looking), long lasting, great...
