Recently bought another Type 56 SKS. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the D ring (or whatever you call it) to attach a sling. Does anyone know what I need to get for this?

My trick for fixing a pistol that won't feed the self-defense loads I want it to: I take the pistol in one hand... ...and I sell it with the other and buy a different pistol.

My Ruger P95 has fed anything and everything I've put in it, including some very old, very questionable handloads. I believe Ruger stopped making them recently, but I bought mine new for $300 out the door about 6 years ago. I imagine you can find a used one for around that price or less. That...

What a classic. Beautiful handgun, looks like it's seen quite a bit. Great price, too.

In ballistic gel tests, there doesn't seem to be much difference between service calibers (9mm, .40, .45, even 10mm). All pistol rounds are pretty ineffective as far as stopping a threat, though if penetration is what you need (such as if you're in the woods with bears around) 10mm might be a...

I would shoot at least another 500 rounds and preferably 1,000-1,500 rounds before I would consider the pistol reliable enough for defense. But again, that's just me.

Personally, I would lose faith, but I've been told I have rather strict standards. For something like a Glock, I don't really believe in a "break in" period, and for the money being paid, it better work out of the box, with any quality ammo. I would bet my money that your malfunctions were...

Based on your criteria, my top two choices would be (in no particular order): 1. CZ75b 2. S&W M&P 9 with thumb safety Or, if you're willing to put up with some finish wear on a surplus handgun, these Hi Powers are a steal. One of these might be my next purchase...

I've always been interested in getting a P30. Now I'm interested in this as well! So many guns, so little money! :D

I apologize if the message that came across in my post was that one could not make good hits or effectively use a G36 or that it's a bad gun. I have no doubt that someone who has practiced extensively with it and has a lot of rounds down range with that handgun will be very proficient. I just...

I sold my G36. I find that with recoil, "the juice is not worth the squeeze". It's a fun gun to shoot, but it's nothing I'd want to trust my life with due to recoil. Don't get me wrong, the recoil is not that bad and is pleasant at the range, but for a self defense handgun, being able to make...

For me it does. I sometimes carry a Bulgarian Makarov. Very slim and easy to carry. It's not the lightest pistol, but it's a compact package and the weight is not enough to make a difference to me. Being all steel, the recoil is very light, and it's a very accurate pistol. When I do carry it, I...

From what I understand, law enforcement and military units using high quality ammunition like Speer's Gold Dot, Hornady TAP, Sierra, Black Hills, etc are very happy with the performance of their 5.56 rifles. M193 tends to perform well in gel tests, though for defensive use, it's probably best...

By the laws of physics, any semiautomatic pistol who's weight is less than the recoil spring's strength can be limp wristed. I've seen 1911's limp wristed, I've seen CZ75s limp wristed, and I've seen Beretta 92-type pistols limp wristed. Glocks, because of their incredibly lightweight frames...

Great! Be sure to let us know your results.

JJ Alabama, I understand where you're coming from, and I understand your concerns. I do the similar thing when I buy a new gun. I start to second guess myself and find imperfections with the weapon. Theoretically, yes. You could, in short proximity, jerk back or something in a struggle or from...

I don't own a Glock 30, but I've shot a friend's extensively. It's quite nice, I must say. At the moment I carry a gen 3 Glock 21, and yes, it's about the upper limit for what I can conceal comfortably. I may invest in a Glock 30 soon. The recoil is surpisingly soft for such a small and light...

I'd buy a new magazine or two and try that. If that doesn't fix it, it's the gun.

I don't think the OP was asking about what type/action of gun is best for concealed carry. His concerns have nothing to do with holsters or firing systems, so maybe we should stick to what he wants advice on.
