    Suggestions for sidearm for a new shooter with BIG hands.

    I have big hands. Although I don't have sausage fingers, I have a very wide and thick palm with good length fingers. Almost every handgun that isn't a true full size will leave my index and pinky fingers hanging off the slabs. There are even some full size pistols that I have added a slam pad/...

    Which shotgun for home defense?

    I will say that if your choices have been narrowed down to the 4 shotguns listed in the above poll, you have done a lot of homework, spoke with a lot of people, read a lot of info, maybe watched a lot of videos also. The reason I say that is because not one of those shotguns are garbage or junk...

    Do you display your guns?

    Short answer is No and No for me. I use to wear the 2nd amendment on my sleeve when I was a wee bit younger. I had so much pride in firearm ownership and would let my lips do some flapping that they shouldn't have been doing. It wasn't long before the "wrong people" overheard my conversation...

    What's the ".357 Magnum" of rifle calibers?

    Hookeye, I have to agree 100%. It always gets a lot of heads turning at the range when somebody shows up with an old Remington-Keene, or Westley Richards Rook rifle. You don't see them often, but they are cool and usually steal the show for the day.

    What handgun should replace the Army's M9?

    Well if it can't be a 45, then I don't see anything wrong with the Sig 226 or 229. Aside from size and weight, I also see nothing wrong with the CZ 75 SP-01. The Sig 226 Elite (in stainless) and the CZ 75 SP-01 are heavy and stout, but they are built like tanks and resilient!!! If 45...

    Kimber any thoughts????

    I personally don't own any Kimbers, but I know many shooters who do own them or have owned them. Just like what is shown on this thread, there are many who have had countless problems with their Kimbers and there are also many that will swear by them and stand behind their name. When I was...

    What semi-automatic shotgun?

    Well, I can tell you with a budget up to and "around" $1000 you open yourself up to many, many options. The first option would be to fill the bill with an all frills and thrills "tacticool" version of a shotgun that is neither 100% necessary for home defense or cost effective for what all the...

    What's the ".357 Magnum" of rifle calibers?

    So it seems to me that you want the most versatile rifle for target shooting/ plinking? Just what is the versatility in that if all you need it for is target shooting? When I think of a one size fits all firearm, I think of one that would cover a broad spectrum of abilities.(Hunting variety of...

    What's the ".357 Magnum" of rifle calibers?

    A couple questions. Where will you be hunting? What will you be hunting? And how far will your average shot likely be? As a general answer 308 and 30-06 will cover a broad swath of practical use over many different applications. If you will be presented with many shot over 500 yards...

    Which barrel for AR15 is better for me?

    I honestly don't think you could go wrong with either of the Wilson barrels. And I will +1, +2 and +3 the White Oak barrels, they have made a name for themselves in a lot of competitions.

    What Make Ammo Accurate

    A whole boat load can effect accuracy, to a certain degree. 1) Bullet design effects trajectory 2) Ballistics coefficient effects trajectory 3) Off center, unbalanced, and non concentric bullet heads will without a doubt effect accuracy. (that's why many competition shooters in F-Class...

    what milled ak type rifle would you buy?

    As far as milled receivers go, many will be in the $1000 and up range nowadays. My favorites are SA 93, SLR 95, SLR 100, SLR 101, SAM7, and SAS M7. If you want one of those you might have to open up your wallet really wide. Just a thought, if you do your homework there are a number of...

    What is the best 12 Gauge shotgun slug to stop a vehicle?

    Gee, stopping a car with a shotgun slug......... that is a new one on me. Are we talking about stopping a car immediately in its tracks? Are we talking about stopping the car by some hopeless effort to disable its internal mechanics ( Engine, gas tank, gas lines, ect) by penetrating them...

    There is absolutely nothing wrong or unlawful with an individual upgrading his/her firearm collection by means of selling a few of their lesser valued firearms in order to obtain a much nicer or more valuable one. According to ATF's website, there is no specific number given as to what a "few"...

    Ever Have A Gun With Such A High Round Count You No Longer Consider It Reliable?

    I just love a firearm that has been heavily put to work like it was intended to be. I have had firearms that I have babied and firearms that have became my go to tools in my working stable. I have a Remington 870 Wingmaster that I have put over 43,000 rounds through and it hasn't had a part fail...

    max # of shooters per lane?

    Most clubs around where I am have a maximum of 2 people per lane and only allow 1 shooter at a time in each lane. Usually the person waiting to shoot stands in a designated area about 7-8 ft away, sometimes more. I have been to a range once that had 6 people at one lane. I didn't know who...
