Why, oh why did Ruger make the Ruger American Pistol when they already had the SR9 out there? I've used both. The SR9 is a completely decent gun (and frankly I think the cheaper SR9E is a little better than the SR9 original).... It's not an awesome piece of machinery that I believe is superior...

Does anyone make a variant of the AK which copies the Iraqi Tabuk Sniper. I have to admit, while the concept seems kind of silly (a 7.62x39mm "sniper" rifle), it looks like it would be really fun to plink with. Also looks like it could be a nice little deer rifle, especially in brush.

Can I have some impressions from people that own more than one 1911? Is it good for the money? Does it take a wide variety of ammo? Would ~$600 be a good price for the full size one? Basically, I think I may have been pulled into the darkside known as "People who like 1911s" now that I have...

Okay.... I have wanted one of these for the longest. And now, it is mine. I went shooting today with it, and discovered that it is quite a rifle. Especially for the money (it costed me $650 before taxes). I purchased a couple of accessories. (Magpul front handguards, and a frontal bipod/handgrip...

How many of you out there have a medieval or Renaissance Sword? I have one which I've owned for 5 years, and though I don't get a lot of use out of it, I do enjoy it.

Okay... so it occurs to me that AK-style rifles are much more expensive than they were just a few years ago, and I don't think it's just Sandy Hook.... They seem to have been creeping up in price for the past few years.... Here and I was thinking about an AK-74. Anyone know why?

Okay.... so, I've been looking at AR-15 models to buy, and the one that has stood out the most for me as something not to buy is the SR556. My first gun was a Ruger. A 10/22 purchased when I was 18, working as a Customer Service Rep part time in the most terrible call center ever. I had no...

Anyone here own a quad-railed DPMS Panther Arms AR-10? Do you like it? Is it nice, well made, reliable, etc.? And.... what makes a good optic?

http://oregonfirearms.org/alertspage/2011/02.24.11%20alert.html You have to watch this link. Short description: The BATFE actually allowed thousands of rifles and pistols to be smuggled into Mexico from Arizona. Well, you certainly can say there is a problem with guns being shipped from...

Does this particular pistol have anything higher capacity than a 10 rd magazine?

Okay, so today in a History class at school we began talk on the Holocaust part of WWII. My teacher by the way, considers this her field of study. So, I make an observation that it probably wouldn't have happened if the Jews, Gypsies, pretty much everyone in Eastern Europe had been armed, and...

About how much do you think a T/C Venture is worth used? A guy I work with wants to sell me one for $400.... but that sounds a bit high.

Does anyone know of a picatinny rail system that would work with a Century Arms C93, and allow for a scope in the "scout" position (or closer to the ejection port).... Basically, I want a 4 sided picatinny rail which can have either a holo-type sight or an ACOG knockoff (oh how I wish for the...

Okay, last night, someone broke into my car, and stole a gun from me. It's already been reported to the police department, along with the serial # of the weapon.... my question is this to anyone who knows: What is the actual level of crime and the sentence the person may get for stealing a...

Anyone out there prefer the Ruger SR9 to the Smith & Wesson M&P? Or, am I the only one?

I recently bought the book "Armed America" (which I attempted to get in, but which did not happen), and showed it to a friend of mine. The guy who made it said it's a picture book of gun owners in their homes. He asks people one question: "Why Do You Own a Gun?" This book got me to...

Okay, I want your impressions. This is an essay I had to write for my Lit. & Comp class. It's supposed to be a narrative of a life-changing event. I couldn't come up with anything that I really wanted my teacher to know.... except for this. Tell me what you think. How I Became Armed...

Okay, so I was looking through J&G's website, and saw that .30 Tok JHP are now being made by them. Has anyone used these. (Especially someone who has tested them through shooting into water jugs, or some other media?) I love my TT-33, and would love to use it for carry, but I have been very...

Okay.... so lately I've seen (and commented on several posts) about one gun or another and it's superiority. It's been so iritating to me, I figured I'd post this. My favorite brands are Glock and H&K. I've used or owned Glock 19, 17, 22, 27 Beretta 92FS, Cougar (stoeger built)...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nf1OgV449g&feature=player_embedded This particular link came to my attention while just doing random pro-2A video searches. This gentleman's story is interesting to me, because I became an advocate of RKBA through a very similar experience. I thought this...
