I'm looking to buy a new 9mm handgun in the next few weeks. The main uses will be for range use, plinking and to have to pass on to my kids some day. I've narrowed my choices down to the following: Ruger SR9 Glock 17 (4 gen) S&W MP9 CZ 75B I held a Glock 17 the other day, I really...

What's the scoop on these? Good, bad or indifferent? I'm thinking of getting one of these. I don't currently own a 9mm. I'm looking for something a little out of the ordinary. What do mags run for these? Any good aftermarket mags or would it be better to stick with factory?

Hypothetical question: Take a stock DA revolver and a semi-auto. Tune both to perfection, make them mechanically perfect. Get two shooters who can operate both guns to perfection. Which style is faster shot to shot? Accuracy isn't a consideration for this question, purely speed. Does the...

Anyone shooting a Stevens rifle (new production made by Savage)? I've got a buddy looking for a rifle to shoot coyotes. Probably won't get used 2-3 times a year. He almost had a stroke looking at the price tag on some other models. He wants cheap. Pros or cons on the Stevens line? Thanks...

I bought a used 3" SP-101 a couple weeks ago. I was shooting it today and getting light primer strikes when fired upward (good backstop, perfectly safe). I wasn't firing anywhere near straight up, around 45* upward angle. Light strikes on all 5 shots, all fired fine shooting level or downward...

I'm looking for a front sight for my 3" SP-101. I want some type of "night sight". I found these at Midway; http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=112094 http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=541379 I'm also looking for a XS front sight...

Little over 12 hours 'til legal shooting light here in the Illinois firearms season! Weather looks ideal here in So. IL. Cold and light NW winds forecast for Fri. AM. Gonna be good. I've seen more, bigger bucks this year than any time in the past 15 years or so. I'm excited, like a kid on...

I'm looking for some 20 gauge slugs for use in a fully rifled barrel. Anybody using foster type slugs with decent results? I'm done paying $2.50-$3.00 a shot for sabot slugs. :cuss:

Like the title says. Any opinions or experience with this product? Useful or useless? Thanks.

Did Speer stop making a bunch of different kinds of handgun bullets? I can't find my preferred Speer 220 gr. jacketed SWC .410 bullets anywhere. The Speer website doesn't list those or a bunch of other bullets I use. What gives?

Will I run into any problems loading .38 special +P level loads in .357 mag cases? What about regular .38 special loads in .357 mag cases? I bet you all can guess the reason I'm asking this. :banghead:

Looking to start reloading .38 specials, what powder are you using? I would like something that will fill most of the space (easier for me to prevent double charges).

I bought a Colt Trooper MKIII today. It's .357 with a 4" bbl. Gun looks to be in excellent condition. A faint cylinder ring and a little blueing wear near the muzzle. No endshake or movement of the cylinder when locked up. One small scratch on the frame below the cylinder on the left side...

Here is the list of revolvers. Anybody got any advice on the value of these? I know every FFL dealer in the area will be there. I'm hoping to find one good deal (hope springs eternal ;)). I'm mainly interested in the Redhawk, I would pick up any of the others if I got a real good deal. I...

What's the general consensus on the Glock model 20? Will they hold up to frequent shooting with full power 10mm loads? Are they accurate? Any other brands of 10mm pistols in the same general price range?

I thinking about starting to reload my .41 mag and .44 mag with lead bullets. I currently use jacketed bullets and H110 powder. When I started shooting, the guy that helped me out warned not to shoot lead bullets because of leading the bore. I've been thinking of ordering some cast bullets...

Anybody know where I can find some data for Montana Gold .429 240 gr JHP bullets and H110 powder? Can I use the data for Speer bullets from my Speer manual, starting at the lowest charge?

I've been reloading for about six months now. I've got some .41 mag brass that's been fired 7 times. I use mild loads and haven't noticed any damage to the brass. How many times is it safe to reload brass? What needs to be done to new brass? I got 100 new .44 mag cases today. Do they need to be...

I'm going to come into a little money next month ($500-$600). I've decided I need a new handgun. I've narrowed the choices down to the following (I think): Ruger SP101 in .357 mag. Ruger Super Blackhawk 4 5/8" SS. Springfield Armory XD 5" 9mm. Glock 17. S&W M&P 9mm. I like the idea of...

I received a RCBS Partner press kit for my birthday. I'm wanting to reload for my .41 mag. I've read several manuals and info from powder websites. I'm going to use Hornady 210 gr. XTPs. I'm leaning toward Accurate No. 7 powder and CCI 300 primers. I don't plan to load to max yet. Anybody care...
