    Glock 19 Gen 5 vs S&W M&P 2.0 Compact

    I went to the gun store over lunch at work today and it turns out their discount is better than I expected. Looks like I can get a standard glock for around $540 all in, OTD. Not sure how much the Ameriglo sights will add to that but I do like them a lot, more than the glock night sights, and...

    Glock 19 Gen 5 vs S&W M&P 2.0 Compact

    They did, but it's supposed to start shipping next week if I understood the announcement Brownell's made correctly. I'll admit, the more I think about it the more I lean to the M&P, but I'd like to hear some opinions first, someone might bring something up that sways me either way. At any rate...

    Is the Ruger Mark IV a Good Trainer?

    Good to know. It's interesting that they did that, you'd think they'd want a consistent, easy to identify change rather than relying on people looking up serial numbers.

    Glock 19 Gen 5 vs S&W M&P 2.0 Compact

    I started typing this up in the thread I found about the Gen 5 Glocks, but I figure I probably shouldn't clog up that thread with this. I attended a Glock day that a local gun store put on a couple weeks ago and got to try out the new gen 5 glocks, both the 19 and the 17. I think they've more...

    Is the Ruger Mark IV a Good Trainer?

    I have Stainless Targer Mk IV, and I love it. It's actually my favorite handgun to shoot. Being able to spend a few hours at the range each week burning through a (relatively) cheap bulk box of .22lr is not only fun, it's a great way to get in a bunch of practice of your handgun fundamentals...

    Czech legal gun owner's message to the world

    I hope it doesn't come to this, but if the EU gets its way, you'll be seeing exactly why so many of us here in the US are so against any type of gun registry.

    What can I bring to New York State ?

    Take your dollars somewhere else if you can. Don't fund states that don't respect their own citizens, and that don't respect your right to defend yourself. The fact you said you plan on shooting on private land makes me think you're going to visit some friends or relatives, which kind of...

    What firearm(s) have been in your family for the longest time?

    Unfortunately, the closest my family has to an heirloom gun is a break barrel pellet rifle that's only about 25 years old. I have two older brothers that bought it when they were around 16 or so. One told the other to shoot him in the backside with it "to see if it would hurt." Needless to say...

    What is a "Car Gun?"

    I bought a cheap police surplus M&P9 for the sole purpose of leaving it in my car somewhere as a car gun, but once I got it in my hands I started thinking the way you do. Funnily enough, not too long ago the local paper here ran an article about how police were asking people to not leave guns in...

    What qualities bother you most about businesses which sell firearms?

    High prices and being ignored for me. High prices because sometimes I feel bad for only buying guns online and only using a local gun store as the FFL transfer point, but every time I've bought a gun locally I've gotten burned so badly price wise I can't justify doing it again. I should look...

    Remington Golden Bullet Value Pack Junk Ammo

    I just put a 525 round box of Golden Bullets through a Ruger Mark IV the other day and had no issues, I didn't even stop to clean the gun at any point while shooting either. My hands were gold colored and the gun was filthy by the time it was over, but that's to be expected.

    It Doesn't Take Many Idiots To Ruin It For The Rest Of Us

    The range I go to has a small membership fee, and despite it being only $50/year or so that seems to be enough to keep out most of the idiots, at least compared to the free one the county runs. Every now and then I'll find a bunch of cases lying around or some shot up cans and I'll just sweep...
