My search didn't return any results. What is the feeling on the quality of these rifles?

Every now and then I pull out this beauty from the cold war and admire its simplicity. I've carried it concealed on occasion. Who carries a Makarov regularly? (Define 'regularly' in any way you wish) Do you rotate it with other CCW carries? What ammo for defense? What carry rig? Any...

So, I'm bored tonight. Arbitrary poll... between the two, which would you choose for home defense and why?

Let's see pics of your favorite Personal Defense Weapons (the specific genre that term refers to) and tell us why it's your favorite.

I'm hoping for an intelligent discussion on the issue of high-powered handguns for self-defense. Here's my premise: It's been well established that handguns are under-powered as anti personnel weapons. If one were to be forced to knowingly go into harm's way, he would want to carry a long gun...

Last info on this weapon here on THR was from 2011. Anybody have any experience with these?

What's involved in legally equipping one's home-defense carbine (or handgun even) with a suppressor? E.g. which gov't hoops, and price; and prices of the suppressors. Plus, how expensive to have the barrels threaded? Thanks in advance

Which of the below would be your favorite HiPoint Carbine?

Aside from the AR or AK series, what is your favorite home defense carbine and why? For my purposes, I'm not talking about shotguns.

I'd like to hear from some of you with experience using bullpup designs. I am keen to have one but I have a lingering question about the noise. In a bullpup design, the action (or the place where the explosion sets the bullet in motion) is right at the shooter's ear. Granted, even on...

This is a light-hearted thread. You brainiacs out there tell me how it's possible that teeny .380 round can be nearly as effective as the much larger 38 Special round.

Hey, the search results I pulled up could stand updating. If you had a 12 ga and wanted to load it with home defense loads that would give it milder recoil closer to that of a 20 ga, what mfg and loading would you choose? This would be for home defense use in a pump shotgun. My favorite...

Which would you choose and why? I have an M1 carbine but I've considered getting a Hi Point 45 carbine. Which would you choose and why?

Many manufacturers of pistols (and rifles) have come out with 22 caliber versions that often cost about half as much as their bigger-bore counterparts. It doesn't seem to me that the cost of manufacturing these .22 versions is appreciably lower than the cost of manufacturing the originals. Why...

For me personally, the biggest shortcoming (pardon the pun) of my S&W 442 revolver is the short sight radius rendering it more difficult to make accurate hits. I believe my laser grip sight makes it more likely I could hit a target at 30 feet than would be possible with the open sights...

For many of us, long distance phone calls cost nothing. PHONE your senators and representative and tell them not to vote for any new bans on rifles. It takes less time and energy than writing an email and it's more effective because it's more personal. I just phoned mine and left voice mails...

For many of us, long distance phone calls cost nothing. PHONE your senators and representative and tell them not to vote for any new gun bans. It takes less time than writing an email. I just phoned mine and left voice mails. You can do it in half the time it would take to write even an...

Friend of mine is having financial difficulties and asked me how she should list her Olympic Arms AR-15. This is the only pic I have of it yet. The angle makes the gun appear a little distorted, but it's normally proportioned. Since she's in a bind, she knows this is a good time to make top...

Some have expressed interest in contacting their representatives in Congress in order to forestall poor legislation that is being proposed. I used to do legislative work for a grass-roots organization. Consequently, I want to provide the following simple information to anyone who wishes to do...

Seems to me like a really useful pistol for some limited scenarios. Maybe a car gun - for backup in the event of a really, really bad day. Far-fetched, but bad things do happen. It's kinda like a 30 round 357 magnum unless you tell me the shorter bbl really saps its power. Anyway, anyone...
