    First gun safe help?

    Hank, if you have a Tractor Supply store in your area, the link below shows a great gun safe on sale for $599.00. I looked one the same safe locally earlier this week at my local Tractor Supply, and was impressed with the safe's construction/size, accessories. It has the inside door storage...

    What is the worst pistol you have ever shot? For me it was a Jimenez Arms JA Nine...

    Worse, Llama Mini-Max .45, bought new in 2004 for $180.00 at an Academy sale. I could never get that gun to feed more than three or four rounds without stove piping. Spent another $50.00 or so on new recoil springs, mags, polishing the feed ramp, the thing still wouldn't feed ammo. I gave it...

    How durable are the entry level 1911s?

    OP, I own both, and just purchased a new Desert Eagle 1911 C that I haven't ranged yet. I've owned the RIA GI for about seven years, bought it when they first hit the market. Probably put around 500 rounds of varied types through it, with zero issues caused by the gun, only had issues while...

    D/FW

    Yeah, I was at the Irving show Saturday also. I was also surprised by the amount of vendors, but not by the crowds. Good selection of firearms, ammo, and accessories like you said. I picked up a DE 1911 C, at about $50.00 under normal retail. Hope to get to the range this week and try it...

    D/FW

    <----South Hunt County, near Quinlan. The only range I've used since moving here in 04/09, has been Wiley's, south of Wills Point. It's a 30 minute drive for me, but the owners have a really nice gun shop there, anything you could want, and the range has never been busy when I've gone. The...

    gun you regret buying...

    CZ 52 I bought two or three years ago. Bought because, well, it's unusual retro appearance. After buying it and taking it apart at home, I discovered the barrel had a hairline crack, it had a flat roller, and a weak recoil spring. Replaced all problems and took it to the range. I've...

    I believe the reference is to Abilene, Kansas, not Texas.

    Would you take a 2 year old to a Gun show?

    If you use a stroller, please be aware of the other folks at the gun show. The last show I was at last weekend, this guy had one of those two seater-double wide strollers with two kids buckled in. Twice while I was looking at items on the vendor tables, this azzhat hat ran into me with the...

    Charter Arms Bulldog: My experience so far

    Great review Landric.....I bought a used 2009 Bulldog pug a couple of weeks ago for $250.00. Have not been able to range it yet, but do like the feel and the lightness of the gun. The original owner included a new set of Pachmyers on the gun, but I like the handling of the original grips...

    left handed ar's?

    <---- Lefty also.....Mine is a standard home build, Doublestar lower, with a Del-Ton upper. No issues at all with mine. I do have a scar on my upper chest from hot brass caught in my shirt while qualifying in 2007 with my agencies M-16. The shooter to my left was too close, and his brass...

    "The Great New Orleans Gun Grab-Descent Into Anarchy"

    I bought the book from Amazon, and passed it on to my son, with instructions to pass it on to others. Great read! I experienced Katrina as family lives in Biloxi, and evacuated to my house here in TX. We drove to Biloxi two days after the storm hit, and I was shocked by the devastation...

    S&w 40ve

    Had the 9VE for over 3 years, no failures after probably 1000 rounds through it, excluding some reloaded hollow points. The trigger does improve with use, but, it still can't compare to my S&W MP 40 I bought three months ago. Great duty carry weapon, and the 9VE is fine for off duty, once...

    CZ 52 for Home Defense

    I bought a CZ 52 several months ago at a good price. However, had to rebuild it, i.e., new barrel, roller cams, recoil spring, etc. Took it to the range, and it was extremely accurate and had no failures after over 100 rounds fired. Bought some new production ammo, SB, and am planning on...
