    Best Value Pistol Light/Laser Combo

    Back in the day I had an Insight M6 on my house gun. I'd like something similar but without having to spend $200+ on it. Are there any good light/laser combos retailing for <$150 that aren't "airsoft-tier" Thanks! atek3

    Any shot you want: Three Centerfire Rifles for all big game, globally

    Everyone has their favorite "Three rifle combination", a classic would be: 223, 30-06, 375 H&H Mag. If you were planning to do everything from Florida Hogs to Namibian Cape Buffalo, what would be your three "do it all" cartridges? For me: 6.5 Creedmoor- excellent performance on light and...

    Anyone completed a Polymer80 Spectre PF940 Build?

    Midway has them on-sale for $99 and I wanted to see if anyone had built one. For those who haven't heard of it: http://www.polymer80.com/Pistol-Frame_ep_60.html It's an 80% lower that is compatible with Glock 17/19/34,22,24,35 slides. I'm eager to build one up, but I want to make sure it's...

    Second Hand M&P 9c has trigger/striker problems

    "My question is, why after 7 years would any gunsmith be obligated to give away something free when his work was fine for over 7 years? The gunsmith did nothing wrong but you might have if you didn't do normal maintenance by replacing springs over a 7 year period." The gun has about 1000...

    Second Hand M&P 9c has trigger/striker problems

    should have been more clear. The light strike and no-strike are probably unrelated issues. Striker channel is definitely clean and dry. FL-NC: I went through my email records and figured out who worked the gun over. He's a highly respected S&W M&P specialist, so I'm not going to drag...

    Second Hand M&P 9c has trigger/striker problems

    About 7 years ago, I bought a second hand M&P 9c. Cerakote, Dawson fiber sights, crimson trace grip, match trigger job. I had a few light primer strikes which were bad. I took a defensive pistol class and had several "dead triggers." I would pull the trigger during a drill and get nothing. Not...

    Thread Ruger Mk 2 or buy integrally suppressed

    So I moved to CT and set up an NFA trust. I want a 22lr pistol with a can on it. My first thought was buy a screw-on that I can share between my 22lr pistol and rifles, but I learned more about CT law... no threaded barrels on handguns made after 1994. So that leaves either using a...

    Modified Trigger on Carry Gun

    Ten years ago, the received wisdom was that trigger jobs on carry guns were bad juju from a legal standpoint. I.e. lawyers could seize upon that to argue that your gun was a 'finely tuned killing machine.' At the time I thought that was generally much ado about nothing, but has case law...

    best quick access handgun safe

    I want to put one of my handguns in my bedside table drawer. Ideally it should have a quick-release system such as a short combination of finger presses then pop up to reveal the gun, butt first. I bought a $199 hornady safe but it's far too big to fit. Anyone got any ideas?

    Five long years of living in a hostile jurisdiction and I've finally moved back to a shall-issue state. I got my CT Pistol License, but I haven't used it yet. I have a few questions for locals: 1) Which CT gun forum has the most traffic? CTguntalk, CTshooting, or northeastshooters? 2)...

    tips on scoping a Remington 870

    I moved to CT, a shotgun-only state for deer, so I bought a 23" rifled barrel for my Remington 870 with the cantilever scope mount. Any recommendations on which rings to buy? I will probably use either a 1-4 or 2-7x low power variable. I'm trying to keep the total cost down so no Warne...

    Most exciting African Plains Game and Why?

    Just got back from the Safari. Was my timing for trophy hunting awkward or what! Anyway, the trip was great. I successfully hunted Eland, Kudu, Springbok, Impala, Warthog and Blue Wildebeest. Tikka T3, 7mm Rem Mag, Vortex Viper 2.5-10x32. Everything worked well. Thanks for all the...

    moving to new york city

    I live in New York City. I would encourage to listen to the others and NOT bring your long guns with you until you have a New York City Rifle Shotgun Permit. Once you have your permit, then you may bring your long guns into the city and have them registered via PD 641-121 forms. You will...

    Factory 7mm Rem Mag AMmo for Eland

    I had Safari Arms custom load me 175 gr Swift A-Frames at about 2800 fps. On Safari we stalked a group of Bulls for about an hour, finally, the oldest among them walked into my shooting lane about 175 yards away. I had a clean broadside shot at his left side. It was a clean double lung hit...

    Which Tikka T3 picatinny rail: EGW or Nightforce

    Installed a Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x on my Tikka T3 using a DNZ one-piece. Sadly, the scope is low enough that the brass binds on the windage knob. I have an adjustable height cheek piece so I was probably going to put it a bit higher with a picatinny rail and 30mm rings. Question, which Pic...

    Information content in a single 3-round group?

    Most handloaders try to pick the "most accurate load" for their rifle. Generally they vary the powder weight and assemble "testing ammo." I got a batch of test ammo from a custom handloader. The instructions read: "fire a 3 round group of each of the 4 test batches. Pick the most accurate...
