    One rifle only.

    This is exactly what I came here to post.

    Wearing out the springs in a mag

    Something I ran up on while wandering the web a while back...according to their tests some springs definitely do get weaker when sitting compressed. https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/library/Keeping%20a%20Springer%20Cocked.htm

    .223 too powerful for home defense?

    Without specifying the ammo being used there are too many variables here, the AR can use loads that penetrate a lot, and others that are made with considerably less in mind. I prefer the shotgun for various reasons in my circumstances but a 12 GA with buckshot will punch right though sheetrock...

    Isn't the forward assist on an AR a dumb idea?

    I watched the video of Rittenhouse using the FA because one of his rounds didn't fully chamber. During the Vietnam War estimates were put forth that for each enemy killed U.S. forces fired more than 50,000 rounds. So at least some of these guys were doing a good bit of shooting. I can...

    Red Dot sights for AR 15

    I have a little astigmatism, I can see a little blurring if I concentrate on the dot but for just plinking out to 100 yards or so (for me) it goes away for the most part and the advantage in speed is simply amazing. Just put the dot on it and pull the trigger.

    LOOKING FOR AN AR15 PLATFORM

    FN won the contract for production of the M16A2 in 1988, and their production kicked off in 1990. Their bid for each weapon produced was publicized at $420 per unit, which significantly underbid Colt. https://www.nytimes.com/1988/10/03/nyregion/army-drops-colt-as-m16-rifle-maker.html

    This one is for all the members who think their social media posts won’t get them in trouble

    https://www.scribd.com/document/638134391/Pardon-Letter-From-Daniel-Perry-Defense-Team#from_embed The defense responds. Shame this guy didn't have the good video Rittenhouse did, the defense claims there is eyewitness testimony that Foster did point the firearm at Perry.

    Good Guess on 5.56?

    S&W makes other models than the Sport, some of which have MSRP's well over $1500. I hear they make LEO-only models but I've never seen one.

    Size of S&W model 10 vs. GP100

    That would be the best method, nothing like actually having it in hand.

    Size of S&W model 10 vs. GP100

    My GP100 came with those rubber grips, they were OK but I much prefer the Altamonts, which are actually pretty similar to your grips, they just have checkering on the wood.

    Size of S&W model 10 vs. GP100

    I have the Altamont grips on my GP100, I just picked it up and compared it to my M10, there's really not a lot of difference in the distance from the middle of the trigger bow to the spot where the web of your hand would be. I was very surprised to see that. The grips on the 10 are flush with...

    Remington 870 Home Defense

    I'd love to get a hands-on look at one of these.

    Will your pistol operate under worst case conditions without malfunction?

    A friend of mine found a Glock in a ditch one time years ago, no idea how long it had been there. It did not survive that torture test.

    Assess this recent in-the-news defensive shooting incident (Houston)

    And that is nothing more than speculation.

    Assess this recent in-the-news defensive shooting incident (Houston)

    The robber's gun was extended towards the customer sitting by the door. I can guess the plan of action for the DA in Houston but if I wound up on the jury (impossible, I know, but theoretically) guy would have one "Not Guilty" vote in the bag already. There is a case in Monroe LA that happened a...

    Do you carry a gun because you are afraid?

    I don't see it as living in fear, but as being prepared for an event that could possibly happen...in the same way that I have insurance for various possible events.

    Glock AR15

    My son-in-law just got one of the Ruger .308 AR's, looking forward to shooting it soon.

    Model 10 Day

    M10 no dash, the gun is actually almost as old as I am, and I'm retired. Really excellent revolver. Some period ammo that came with it.

    Why is the 1911 not a "beginner's gun"?

    I agree with the sentiment that the 1911 is not a beginner's gun in the sense that people who have never or rarely shot a handgun might have a problem with the recoil and the noise. I was with a young guy a few weeks ago when he shot one for the first time, he said he was a little shocked at how...
