    Mossberg 500 or Winchester 1300?

    The Mossberg 590 is more of an equal to the Winchester than the 500. The Maverick is made of parts from Mexico. I own a 500 and a Winchester 1300 (rebadged FN TPS, actually).

    Are Shotgun Heat Shields Usefull?

    The only gun I can think of that comes with one is the Mossberg 590A1 which is used by the military and police. Try to resist the temptation to add a bunch of cheap crappy doo dads to your gun. The temptation can be strong, many succumb. Save that money, spend it on ammo to practice with, or...

    I've read bad things about Sportsman Steel Safes.

    Looking for Real World Experienced Opinion on .45ACP

    There ain't a single person who's had to use their .45 that's going to tell their tale here.

    The perfect 1911

    Hickok45 is a cool cat, but I think you're getting carried away about his arsenal. All I've ever seen handgun wise is a Kobra Carry, a buncha Blocks, and some S&W wheel guns. No Baers, Wilsons or Nighthawks.

    HD Ammo in a Judge?

    The Box O' Truth website seemed unimpressed with the .410 round from The Judge. Something like the equivalent of 4.5" of penetration, which is about, what, 8-10 inches short? http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot41.htm

    Why are Nighthawks so Much $$

    Warman, you asked "Are you saying that these guns use different components, alloys than your average gun?" They do. All Nighthawk components are milled from bar stock, as opposed to MIM or forgings. The slide and frame are also milled steel. The barrel of my Nighthawk Predator II is a...

    Sig Labeled Merchandise Rip Off Warning,

    It is not "price gouging". I'd respectfully ask my fellow HighRoader to look up the definition. I think a more appropriate phrase would be caveat emptor.

    Sig Labeled Merchandise Rip Off Warning,

    OEM merchandise always costs more than non-OEM, even if it's the same item from the same manufacturer. You can buy Callaway golf club head covers from your local pro shop, or non-Callaway branded golf club head covers from Wal-Mart for a fraction of the price. Is Callaway ripping you off? I...

    Sig 229 Question

    The smaller barrel in the 229 9m means they didn't bore out a larger cavity for width of the barrel. But the larger caliber .40s&w 229 just needs a thicker, 9mm barrel to take up the extra room. Does that make sense?

    Single Shot for HD?

    In any armed encounter, shouldn't you do all you can to tip the scales in your favor? Giving a loved one a single-shot weapon seems nothing less than cruel. The recent story of the child being shot involved 2 intruders into the home. Buckshot doesn't spray 3 feet killing everything in its path.

    Yet another shipping rant.

    I went to a UPS Store in downtown San Francisco to ship a SA 1911 back to Springfield for work. I packed it well, but it did make a noise when shaken, because i did not put padding inside the blue case (which is roughly formed to the pistol). The UPS woman offered to wrap it better, and went...

    Water Displacement Quality of RemOil

    Eezox is bested by Ballistol in this test: http://www.ctmuzzleloaders.com/ctml_experiments/corrosion/corrosion2.html Ballistol is also less than half the price of Eezox.

    I like the various ways you can carry a USP. Cocked & locked like a 1911, DA/SA like a Sig, or if you're really paranoid, DA/SA with safety on.

    CNN says FBI Agent's Weapon Accidentally fired...On it's Own!

    The report says "when another agent’s weapon accidentally discharged." It does not say "fired... on it's own" or "went off by itself" as other THR members are saying in this thread; even to the point of using quotations. JLStorm, I too believe you are mistaken in your interpretation of the...

    Has anyone ordered or received an order from Eric at HBE leather?

    My sympathies for Mr. L, as HBE must be the unluckiest holster maker around. Bronchitis, computer frying, T-Mobile not letting him access his voicemails, spam filter erasing emails, a divorce adding to his backlog, a plumbing leak, and when I finally spoke to him, problems with his landlord (if...
