I see that the TAPCO mags for the Mini-14 are significantly less expensive than factory mags. Ordinarily I use only factory Ruger mags in my Mini, but TAPCO is a pretty well-respected name and I was curious as to whether their Mini-14 mags are reliable, and worth buying. I would appreciate input...

My cousin just purchased a new G23RTF2 (on clearance for $479) and is looking for a good crossdraw concealment holster for it (he is right handed). I don't know much about crossdraw holsters, so I figured I'd ask some experts here. Would appreciate suggestions that I can pass along, and being...

I'm considering getting a Ruger LCR357 and have been reading quite a bit about it lately, as well as doing some research on what kind of velocities I can expect from its sub-2" tube. But an article in this month's "Combat Handguns" magazine by Dennis Adler has me scratching my head a bit. Mr...

I recently gave my brother my 3" Ruger SP101 .357 - I had promised it to him as incentive to get his CCW, and even though he protested that I didn't have to keep that promise, I did because I wanted him to have a powerful, reliable and concealable handgun. I am thinking of replacing the SP101...

...I come away more impressed. I believe it may be, at least for me, the perfect compact full-caliber weapon. It is surprisingly accurate, has been 100% reliable, shoots to point of aim with all the loads I've tried in it, and although it feels a bit awkward in my hand when I'm not shooting it...

What's the worst-case situation that you have envisioned encountering as a concealed weapon carrier? (And by "envisioned encountering" I don't mean that it's something you are paranoid about, just something that you've recognized as being a possibility, no matter how slight, at some point.)...

I'm considering getting an LCP, for carry when I just can't carry anything larger. I'd like to hear from people who have LCPs and have used and fired them a lot. What kind of reliability can I expect right out of the box? Does the gun require a 100-200 round break-in period before it's 100%...

Anybody have much experience with these? How is the quality? Comparable to Glock factory mags? Are they reliable? The prices are good and i'd like to lay in a few as backup mags, but if they aren't reliable I'm not interested. Thanks.

It just might be. The new Ruger LC9 is an 8 shot, 17 ounce, .90" thick 9mm that looks like a big brother to the LCP .380. And it has a manual safety. I like Rugers and I am definitely intrigued.

The gun that I carry most often as a CCW is a Glock 26 (loaded with Federal 115 grain +P+ JHP). However, there are several other guns that I carry from time to time and as situations warrant, as well. I call my various carry guns my "remuda", and they include a Taurus 85CH 2" .38, a Glock 22, a...

I use quite a few guns from time to time for CCW. The ones that I use most often are a Glock 26 and a Taurus 85CH .38. After that comes a Glock 22 and a Ruger 3" Sp101. But from time to time I also (for things like walking the dog, etc.) might choose to carry a Ruger P97 or P95, a Bersa...

My gun collection/"arsenal" has had pretty much all the bases covered, except a long range bolt action rifle. Today I took a step to fill that gap by ordering on GunBroker a new Marlin XL7 .30/06 with scope for $309, plus $18 shipping. Can't wait till it gets here! Christmas comes in...

Like many people, I have various small revolvers and autos for concealed carry. My primary concealed carry gun is a Glock 26 9mm. Lately, though, I've taken to clipping on my Glock 22 as my concealed carry gun whenever I'm wearing enough clothing to properly hide it (and, with the cold...

I've seen these at JG for $209 and Bud's for $279. I've heard they are trade in's from Brinks Security or some such firm. I'd love to have one, IF they're in good shape and not worn "smooth out". Has anyone bought one of these trade in M64s and, if so, how was the condition of the...

I've wanted a good single stack 9mm for a while, and the surplus P6s look like a good deal. I know JGsales has them for $349.95. Is there a better P6 deal than this anywhere? Thanks.

There's an ad for the Kel Tec P32 in the new American Rifleman and it's just so damned cute! (I know, I know....) The next two guns on my "to buy" list are a Marlin XL7 or XS7 in .30/06 or .308 (whichever comes available first) and a Ruger LCP. I do have a strange liking for the .32 ACP...

In the new issue of "Backwoods Home" magazine (Nov./Dec.'09), Massad Ayoob writes, in his article entitled "The All American 1911 Pistol", that "Ruger is ready to introduce a low-priced, high quality 1911." Does anyone have any info on this, as to a release date? If Ruger puts out a 1911...

I've used Wolf in my SKS with decent results. Then this morning I saw an email from Cope's, announcing a sale on Brown Bear, 500 rounds for $109, with $7.95 shipping. I snapped it up. I'll shoot a few boxes and stash the rest. Any opinions on Brown Bear ammo? Little late to ask now, but...

I find myself wanting a .44 Special snubby really badly these days. I don't need it, I want it. I had a Rossi .44 Special 3" in the early 90s and loved it; hated having to get rid of it, but along about '96 I hit something of a hard-time skid and had to sell a few things. Now I'd like...

One of the only real "holes" in my gun collection is the lack of a long range (.270/.308/.30/06/7mm Magnum class) bolt action rifle. I've decided to fill that hole soon, but I do want to be budget conscious as I do so. I've narrowed my choices down to a Savage 111 rifle/scope combo ($397...
