For years now my daughter has been wanting a Smith & Wesson M & P with a pink backstrap like Julie Golob's. I was recently able to acquire a normal one for her that I will give her on her next birthday. Today I called Smith & Wesson to buy a backstrap for it that I would have Duracoated. I was...

By the time my daughter was about four and a half she had been allowed, under close supervision, to touch some of my guns (I wanted no mystery there.), she had toy guns, and she was already learning the four safety rules. One day my family was sitting at the dinner table talking about guns. My...

I bought a Redhead Pursuit Deluxe Red Dot Scope from Bass Pro several years ago. It was very inexpensive, but I thought I would try it. It a few drawbacks, but it has turned out to be a great little scope for plinking with a 10/22. The only real problem I have is that over time the brightness...

Check out this very cool art poster of iconic movie guns. I heard about it on the Gun Nation Podcast. It is done by an Irish girl named Cathryn Lavery. She also has a Filmography of Cars, one of planes, and is doing one on motorcycles. If I ever have a Man Cave, I want to put these posters in...

Does anyone have experience with a DOLOS AR 15 Quick Detach Barrel? If it works as shown in the video below, I am definitely interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13jbRIaP7x0&list=PLzqsZpHd186cv0K-61vYKzRGv9PYIqNmb Anybody know a reason this would not work as shown?

I wonder if many THR members also use Pinterest. My wife asked me to create a board on her account as a wishlist for presents. Many of my wishlist pins end up being gun related. I was looking at it earlier and it got me to wondering how common Pintertest usage is among gunnies. A lot of people...

I was in a small gun repair shop the other day and the owner was selling a Turkish (At least I think it was Turkish.) 12 gauge pump that had a spring loaded pump action so that it would load rounds more quickly. Or at any rate that is the reason the shop owner gave. Does anyone know which...

I recently received my Masters degree from the University of Missouri. My wife did not buy me a watch, a fancy frame for my diploma, or a "dangerously-over-educated" coffee mug to commemorate the occasion. No, my wife bought me a Savage MKII TR .22LR (Awesome wife, I know.). Now, what does...

I know that it is not legal for a family member to give me money to go to a gun store and buy them a gun. That kind of activity could result in an all-expenses paid trip to Club Fed. My question is; Does this apply to face to face sales. Hypothetical example: a guy lives in TX but finds an AR or...

I was in Academy yesterday morning and they had no ARs out, but I assumed this was because they had sold them all. Then, I heard on Tom Gresham yesterday that Dick's is no longer selling ARs after Sandy Hook. He also said that Academy is selling them but will not have them on display. Can...

I wonder who is buying all these ARs. I am sure a significant portion of these purchases are a bunch of us (gun enthusiasts) buying in case of a ban, but I am hoping that no small portion of the recent spate of purchases are accounted for by people new to the AR world, or even better, new to...

With my rear sight as low as it will go and seeing the front post as deep in the notch of the rear sight as I can, my mosin shoots 5" above point of aim at 25 yds. and 20" above point of aim at 100 yds. Very frustrating. Windage is spot on. Any ideas? I love shooting the old thing but would...

I have an XDm in 9mm.I have had it for 2.5 years and have shot 1000-1500 rounds through it. The last few times I have taken it to the range, I have notice something I thought was strange. When I firmly seat a full magazine into the gun with its slide locked back, the slide is released and goes...

My buddy has recently inherited Winchester Model 70 in 7mm WSM. It is not terribly old, but has been in less than dry storage for a while. We were cleaning it today and discovered some rust in the chamber where the barrel is threaded into the receiver as well as a couple of small spots on the...

So on Saturday, my wife bought me a belated birthday present (The belated part was my fault, not hers). It is my first Mosin Nagant M91/30. I haven't shot it yet, but I am really loving it. I have been reading all over the Internet about Mosins, and I am fascinated by the sense of history that...

I know it is early to start thinking about it, but what gun accessories are you hoping Santa will bring you this year? Here is my list: Ammo, Ammo, Ammo Radian Eclipse Shooting Glasses Tactical Gun Sock (Silicone impregnated sock large enough for my AR with an optic) Tipton full-length...

First, about my first competitive experience -- I stank. Everything from smooth trigger pull to appropriate stance fundamentals went out the window when that clock started ticking. Hmm...interesting implications for an even more adrenaline infused situations like, say, defending your life or the...

I was listening to a podcast of GunTalk from last April, and Alan Gottlieb was guest hosting. A caller (who sound a little less than bright, but I digress) suggested that the way the constitution is arranged means that if and when the post office goes under (political or economic reasons), the...

A post over in Activism got me to thinking. The post included the following: I wonder if there is any reasonable expectation that Heller and McDonald could be reversed and we could be back to arguing the OP's positions (which I and apparently the Robert's court agree with). I know that any...

I bought a new Stag AR last week, but I have not yet had a chance to try it out. My family and I went out of town last weekend and have had a blizzard (literally) this week. I am dying to shoot this thing, but that seems at least two weekends away. It's tragedy of Shakespearean (maybe even...
