So here I am in Florida with hurricane season just around the corner and I am trying to decide on a rifle to give me a little better range than my Mossberg and Benelli shotguns. I'm not wanting to spend 1k on an AR and though I am considering either an AK or a SKS, I have serious concerns about...

I have narrowed down my next firearm purchase to one of the above. I will be using the new gun as a CCW weapon carried both IWB and OWB. As always reliability is my number one concern. I am leaning towards the G26 but I have concerns over the ejection issues that have been reported among some of...

What are your requirements for accuracy in a CCW handgun? Or more to the point how accuratly should a CCW holder be able to shoot their choosen firearms? With any of my carry pistols or revolvers, shooting rapid fire, I can keep all of my rounds in a 6" circle at 7 yards. I think that the old 5...

A couple of weeks ago I bought a SA XD40 Service and while I like the gun and found it to be reliable in my first two range trips, I just wasn't all that impressed with it. It is a nice gun and all but something about it just wasn't quite right. To be honest I rushed into the purchase, which is...

This week I picked up a XD40. I have owned both the XD45 Compact and the XD9SC in the past but I really wanted to give the .40 a try. The XD40 did not fail to impress. I fired 150 rounds through it the day after I got it and it did everything that it was supposed to do. Recoil is perfectly...

I bought one used a couple of years ago and I have put well over two thousand rounds through it and it has been a great gun. It is light and thin with dimensions about equal to those of a Comander sized 1911. It carries well IWB and is reasonably easy to conceal. I have found it to be accurate...

I have been wanting one of these for awhile so I decided to just go ahead and pick one up. I have owed a Kel-Tec P3AT but I sold it off after having repeated issues with the magazine release but I have missed having an easy to carry BUG in my collection. The fit and finish on the LCP is much...

Okay folks here's how it went! :) I took the gun to the back of the property to my shooting area along with 100 of my reloads which use a 158gr LSWC bullet over 3.5 grains of Bullseye powder, 20 Remington .38+p 125gr Semi - Jacketed HP's and 20 135gr Speer Gold Dot +P's I decided to dive...

I guess that I just couldn't ignore it anymore. I started calling around today to check availibility on Ruger LCR's in my area and it seemed like I was 1 step behind at every place that I talked to. All of them claimed to have had one but alas, the guns were already sold. Damn. :fire: I did do...

I bought my first Taurus a few years ago. It was a PT145 that I put over 1500 rounds through with no trouble before I traded it off on something else that caught my eye. The second was a 627 Tracker in .357 which currently has about 2000 rounds of .38 and .357 through it. I was very pleased with...

Well, I bought a new Marlin .30-30 and yesterday I took it on it's first hog hunt and was pleased to use it to bag a 250lb sow. :) I shot at her at 150 yards on a slight downhill slope using 150gr Winchester Power Points. Hit her behind the shoulder and dropped her DRT where she was...

I got tired of trying to find information about this ammo's performance online so I decided to test it myself for penetration and expansion. For those that don't know, this is the Remington "value brand" Semi-jacketed .38 +P hollow point ammo found at Wal-mart. My test method was as...

Yep, you read right. I bought a brand new Taurus 85UL with a bobbed hammer at about 2pm yesterday and by dark it was broken and back in the box. This morning it was turned in to the shop that I bought it from and it is on it's way to Miami for my first go around with the Taurus Lifetime...

This is one of those "friend of a friend" deals. My buddy told me about a guy that he works with that needed some cash who was selling a Glock 19. We went over to the guys house today and the gun was a 3rd generation, in the box with 4 magazines and 300 rounds of WWB fmj ammo thrown in...

So I wanted to have a pair of dress grips for my SP-101. I found these Houge "Lamo Camo" (What a name!) grips on clearance at Midway for $49.00. Not a bad deal and though I wasn't too sure about them when I put them on, the look and uniqueness of them is starting to grow on me ;). What do...

I have loved my P345 ever since I got it and I have been keeping an eye out for a good deal for another one. However, yesterday I got a call from a friend of mine that works at a gunshop saying that they had just taken in a Ruger P97DC in on a trade. His words were "I'm setting this gun in the...

Picked up a new 638 for pocket carry today to replace my P3AT. I got it home, installed a Houge Bantam grip on it, grabbed a box of my .38spl reloads and headed to the back of the property to try it out... My comments? Oh yeah! I like it. I like it alot :) 7 yards, rapid fire, double...

Does anyone know anything about this stuff? I have been all over the web an I have found very little. I came across several boxes of Triton 110gr .357 Jhp ammo at a local gun store. The product number on the box is ATHV357164. I may be mistaken but I believe that this is part of the old...

I have had a couple of Mavericks in the past and I have always thought that they are a great deal. Recently I decided that I wanted a low cost, reliable shotgun to leave in the corner or under the bed for HD and knock around duty, so I have been on the lookout for a new Maverick in the local...

I read somewhere that the Pacmayr Compac grip is not recessed for speedloaders. Is that true? I like the looks of these grips, mainly because of their length, but if I can't use my HKS speedloaders with them, I don't want to waste my money.
