It just goes to show you that even with placement and a good round, crazy things can still happen. A .22 short can nick an artery and do you in or a 9mm can hit the skull funny and lodge itself under the skin. ~Nathan By JUAN A. LOZANO, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 10 minutes ago In the...

So I want to get new grips for my GP100. What grips are the best for handling and recoil absorbtion and still comfortable? ~Nathan

I picked up a used Ruger GP100 6" bbl in blued/black with stainless trigger/hammer in .357 mag for $300 plus tax and background check. The front sight is painted red and I believe that the rear sight is aftermarket. It looks like this |_|. There is a little finish wear at the muzzel and that...

as the title says, does anyone carry a 4" or 6" bbl GP100 concealed? If so, how? ~Nathan

Gon my guns back from The Gun Works. I had a trigger job done on my XD and my 642 and I had the cylinder polished on the 642. The triggers on both are much smoother and lighter. The XD trigger is MUCH better. The takeup is feather light, the break is crisp and about 4-5lbs (my rough...

So I love 1911's but I want a .45 that isn't a 1911. Gotta diversify the portfolio you know;) . I want a .45 that is reasonably easy to carry, a grip somewhere between a 1911 and an XD in size, reliable, and easy to dissasemble/clean. I prefer SA guns, but as long as it has a GOOD trigger I can...

Allright, I like lever guns. I just do. Always have. I have decided to go ahead and get one when taxes come in. I figured I'd start the research now. Here are my criteria: Must have rounds available good for hunting (mostly deer, maybe black bear, later on for putting down cows for...

So I grabbed a box of these for my 642 a while back and I've been meaning to ask the forum if they knew anything about this particular round. The bottom of the box claims 1000fps and 245ftlbs of energy at the muzzle. I assume they chronoed these out of a 4" barrel so I'll knock mine down to...

So we have all been wondering about the "Defender" that Springfield advertised and the gun rags drooled over right? Well it appears they have re-tagged it the EMP *From SA's site* The First … The Smallest … Soon to be copied by everyone: Get a good look at the new Springfield Armory EMP...

So I have an XD9 service on layaway. To those who conceal the service (or tactical) model, what method do you prefer? What type of hoslter? What brand? Nathan

After much renting, researching, shooting, and asing questions on THR I have finally made my choice for an auto for CCW/Home defense. I finally got an XD service with the gear in 9mm and put it on layaway. Don't care about the holster, but the two hi-cap mags are really nice. I've shot XD's...

Looking at guns the other day I chanced to look at the SIGs. As I held a p226 and a p239 in each hand I realized that there really isn't much of a size difference. If a p239 is concealable then a p226 shouldn't be much harder (ok, ok, I understand if you are going for a "tuckable" gun). The...

So I am looking for the best 1911 style gun for CCW. I'd like something compact and less than 600$ if possible. I am a huge fan of the 1911 style platform and sweet SAO trigger. Calibers I am looking for are .45 or 9mm. Current front runner (but over 600 is a S&W Sc 1911A1) Thanks~Nathan

Alright, which CZ for CCW? The RAMI or the PCR/p0-1 Caliber is 9mm, I am 5'10 250lbs Muscular with a few extra pounds (38" waist). ~Nathan

In the battle of the eastern European guns with initials for names under 500$ Which one is best and why? You can compare any two models from each as long as they are the same caliber. Hope this will be educational.~Nathan

How long do bullets "stay fresh"? I have heard of people saying they needed to shoot their ammo and buy more since their ammo was "old." When is ammo "old?" Why does it get that way? ~Nathan

I am not sure that this is the correct forum for this message and if it must be deleted I understand. This is what I posted on my blog to fellow Lee University students concerning a new policy adopted by AmSouth. I justify my post's position here by rationalizing that if a gun owner saves...

I have had several people reccomend the .35 remington as oppsed to the 30-30 for a lever action gun. My questions are as follow: How much better is it? How much is the ammo compared to 30-30? How widely available is the ammo? Thanks ~Nathan

Alright. I am going to buy several rifles in the next 5 years. I have a few questions about certian ones. 1. I definitley want a lever action. Probably 30-30. How does a 30-30 compare to a .308 or '06? How do the .357/.38 & .44 special/Mag lever actions fare ballistically? 2. Gotta have a...

Although some of these are not "true" DAO, which of these has the best trigger? This is not a vote for your favorite gun out of these, it's a vote for your favorite trigger. If that happens to be both, cool. Also, any I missed are welcome.~Nathan
