So, I've decided to get rid of all my pistols. I only want one pistol for self defense, is concealable, and has stopping power while retaining a larger ammo capacity. Since I'm rejoining the military (the Coast Guard this time) I don't want to constantly move x amount of pistols. The Coast...

Hey gents. My father asked me to clean some of his revolvers and I noticed that one of them was an old H&R 9 shot .22LR. It's quite old and pitted and the accuracy is horrible. However, since it was my grandfather's pistol- I'd like to keep it for sentimental value and to plink with...

Most people suggest a 12ga. shotgun (which I have) or a .45acp (which I also have) for home defense because .357mag, .38sp, and 9mm have "over penentration" What are your thoughts on 9mm+P frangible rounds? Are they good for "stopping power" without excessive penetration?:confused:

I'm looking for a inexpensive, quality bug-out bag. (I'm using a luggage bag for my MREs, medkit, flashlight, water, etc. right now... but it won't be comfortable to lug around) Please give me a few suggestions of good gear. And minimum supplies to pack.

Gents, My 71 year old father was recollecting his grandfather's day of deterring looters in the late 1800's to early 1900's with a .38sp revolver. I believe he mentioned Smith and Wesson.. but it could've been Colt (he wasn't sure) Anyway, I was hoping to get him a .38sp revolver as a...

If SHTF and you have only two others with you (ie: friend, wife, child, etc) how would you set up a squad for recon? Retrieving supplies? Entering a structure? Try to use as few weapons as possible. (1-3 each) Remember, this is a SHTF scenario... no bazookas, automatic weapons, etc...

1) Walther P99 9mm - It's concealable, holds 15+1 rounds, medium power, and has very common ammo. 2) .45 ACP 1911 - Great knock down power, very reliable design, ammo is common, but holds only 8+1 rounds. 3) .357 magnum revolver (either Ruger GP100, SP101, or S&W 686) - can shoot...

I was in a gun shop and I wanted to get a .357mag for myself. I was looking at S&W 686, Taurus 66, Ruger GP100s, and the Ruger SP101. The owner asked if I wanted a long barrel or a short barrel. I figured if I got the 686, 66, or 100... I'd go with a 4-6 in. (for home) or If I got...

Hey all... I was wondering what your preferred carry method is for a motorcycle. I figure that anything on the waist might show if you lean too much... or it could possibly vibrate out? (if you're using those paddle holsters) I considered a shoulder holster, but if you were to wreck- wouldn't...

I was at a gun shop the other day and a sales rep was talking about how good Kel Tec makes their weapons. He was going on and on about how their 5.56 rifle can use AR-15 mags and that it's very versitile. However, from what I've heard of Kel Tec- they're just CHEAP weapons. (Not in the...

So, I'm looking for my first "wheel gun" in 357 magnum- however, I don't have too much money to spend on it. I've heard that Taurus makes pretty good revolvers, but I think that Rossi is their daughter company, correct? I understand that Rossi is less expensive- but are they "cheap" or...

Hey gents... I know this doesn't have anything to do with guns, but I know a few of you are from Orlando. Does anyone know if there are intern positions available at any private investigation firms? I've been looking around- but haven't seen too much.

Would it be easier to use a Kahr T-9 barrel in a P-9 for the extra length needed to thread for a suppressor? I believe that the T-9 barrel is 4 inches long and the P-9 is 3.5 inches long. I figured that I could simply swap the barrels. (thus giving the P-9 the extra 1/2 inch for threading) Or...

Since a 380 is a 9mm "short", can you put a 9mm Nato suppressor on a 380? Basically, can my Tarus PT92 and my Bersa Thunder 380 share the same "suppressor can"?

Anyone know if there are any suppressors for a kahr k-9, p-9, or cw-9?

Hey all... I'm changing my CCW for the winter months to a 9mm from my Bersa 380. I've heard wonderful reviews about Walther and Kahr. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

still looking for a pistol for the lady. she wants concealability and low recoil. I could get her a .22lr... but, I'd prefer to teach her to shoot a 32 acp. She's willing to fire the 32 round- however, she wants VERY little recoil. She shot a NAA .32 acp. Sharp recoil in that one. How...

Is a walther ppk/s 380 more concealable than a bersa thunder? I checked the stats and they seem VERY close. I have a bersa, which feels thin and enjoy it's concealability. But, do you think the walther would be better for my fiancee who has smaller hands and is smaller than me?

I'm looking for a walther-style .32 acp. fiancee' won't shoot anything above a 32 acp- and she HATES any form of "kick". (A 32 kicks???) So, I figure we can't go with the light 32s like KelTecs and NAAs, because the light weight gives the gun more kick. However, I also need a concealable...

1.) So, I'm 5'8 140lbs or so... I fire a Bersa 380 with Corbon JHPs. Can anyone think of another concealable weapon for small framed individuals that's affordable? 2.) My fiancee is 5'2 100lbs... and she doesn't want to shoot anything above a .22lr (I'm working on a 32acp for her)...
