I know next to nothing about shotguns. I was thinking of picking up a used 12 gauge pump mainly for Home Defense. I stopped by my local used gun shop. They had tons of used Mossbergs (for reasons I can not explain I just don't care for Mossbergs), Remingtons, and Winchesters. But a used...

How is the availability of the XD 45 in compact? (The one they package with a 10 round and a 13 round magazine.) - w

A few weeks back I posted that I just bought a Saiga short-barrell in .223. It took me a while to get to the range - but I did today. Unscientific range report - THAT SOB IS AN ACCURATE PIECE! I am not a rifle expert - but I put targets toward the end of the indoor range - I believe that is...

OK. Well I have been looking in to SAIGA's, and after some poking around, I see that I can get a Saiga 223 16" barrel for about $240 DELIVERED, and a 223 w/ 20" barrel for about $256 DELIVERED. I don't hunt. I would do target, and plunking. I have a Marlin 336 in 30-30, and a SKS w/...

I am not really a rifle guy - but was looking for a 22 LR rifle for target/plunking. Any opinions out there on the Remington Model 597 or "Viper"? (2 different rifles I think - I do not think the Viper is made any more.) Thanks, - w

Any comments - good - bad - indifferent on the Bulldog 44 mag? - w

First, I'm not a 1911 fanatic. I had a 1911 Molina Ballestar. I sold it, but I would kind of like a 1911 clone around for plunking, and really just to have one for my collection. At a local Cabella's I had a chance to examine a SAMS (Shooters Arms) 1911 Elite. The Elite is a step up from...

I am a CCR and got a flyer from a gun distributor. Among the typical SKS, Mausers, WASR's, etc., they listed "Shooters Arms" 1911 copies. One is a basic 1911M A1, the other for a few dollars more of a tweaked 1911 with skelaton trigger, etc. Does anyone know anything about "Shooters Arms" ...

I am not a shotgun guy - BUT there is a local guy that wants to do a trade of a Mossberg 600 12 gauge plus some cash on a Taurus 357 I am selling. Right now I do not have any shotguns - but it is a pump, and a pump is the only shotgun configuration I would ever be interested in. Anything...

I am thinking of getting an FN P in 9mm or 40sw. I'm trying to make up my mind on 9mm vs. 40sw. On the FNUSA web site they list the specs on the FNP9, as being a little shorter than the full frame FNP in 40sw. (7.09" vs. 7.49" as I recall.) Is this so? I know that FN also has a FN-9M that...

I am looking at a Bersa Mini Firestorm in 40sw. The pistol is used, and a little of the black (matte) fininsh has worn in one spot, but I like it. Question: Is the mag from the Bersa Thunder 9mm 10-round, compatible in the Mini Firestorm 40sw - 10 round? The mags are ungodly expensive...

What are the differences in the above pistols? Thanks in advance, - w

I'm looking for a replacement barrel for my S&W 459. If someone has a spare barrel please email me. We can work out price. Thanks, - Woody [email protected]

Last week I shot an AR-15, and was impressed. My shooting buddy is pointing me in the right direction to assemble one from parts - probably costing in the end around $600-$700. Probably worth every penny. But... I don't know if I would get $600+ fun out of an AR-15. I asked my buddy about...

I just got 2 SKS's. One I'm keeping stock, the other re-stock. I have seen something called a T6 adjustable stock for the sks. Does anyone out there have one? If so, are they happy with it? Thanks, - w

This is not going to be very scientific, but here are my impressions after acquiring a Taurus 24/7 - 9mm (Not the "Pro")... This DAO has no business being this accurate. Some people have complained about the trigger. I can't see this. The trigger is really nice. About the same as a high...

For those of you that regularly come here, its pretty clear I have the Disease. The Disease being...I got to get more guns - whether I will use them or not. (There are a lot of us out there.) That being said, I'm trying to make up my mind between a SW40VE or Taurus 24/7. I already have a...

Guys, I'm thinking of getting one of the above used. Is one superior over the other? The earlier sigmas came with a 4 1/2 inch barrel - later sigmas, just the 4 inch. Are the later model sigmas better in terms of operation or reliability? - w

My new 40sw JCP manual says "clean barrel at 300-400 rounds". Yips! I brush clean the barrel, and oil gun after every shooting. Am I over-cleansing, over-oiling my Hi-Point? - w

A while ago I was trying to make up my mind on a rifle for home defense and plunking. I decided on the Hi Point sight un-seen. I got the package with my Hi Point Carbine in 9mm this week. Without shooting it, my gut impression was that I really liked it - no I loved it. It was basically...
