    .22 cal HP ammo shortage?

    Just picked up a Ruger LCP 2 in .22 cal Ruger recommends a high velocity round, which after looking around the internet, is petty scarce right now. Haven't bought any .22 in a while because I have plenty of the standard velocity stuff. How long has this been going on?

    Taurus PT111 Millenium G2

    Hey All, Just picked up a PT111 G2. Got it home and field stripped it. The thing was just dripping in oil. First Taurus I've bought in a long time. Is this the way the company usually ships their guns?

    S&W Repair Turn Around Times

    I recently had to send my brand new, never been fired Victory SW22 back to Smith to have the barrel retention screw replaced. I've seen a lot of posts that the original Victory's had an issue with the screw backing out under normal use. Apparently S&W has overcompensated and have been putting...

    .223 vs 5.56

    I've been putting off buying an AR platform for a while, but now that the election is over, I think it's time. I know a 5.56 barrel can also safely shoot .223. I'm not a hunter, so the AR will be strictly for plinking and the Zombie Apocalypse, so tell me why I should go with the 5.56 barrel. TIA

    Bud's?

    Anyone have any idea why it takes 7-14 days (according to their web site) for Bud's to ship a gun? Ordered an LCP and some accessories on 1/5. The accessories (extra mag, mag extensions and a DeSantis Nemesis holster) came in 4 days. I'm still waiting for them to process the LCP.

    Noob Mistake

    I was thrilled to find CCI small pistol primers (finally) at my LGS. Didn't notice that they were CCI 550 Magnums. I'm reloading 9mm, .40 and .45 strictly for target shooting / practice. I have both 9mm and a .40 sub rifles. What type of loads can I use the magnum primers for, if...

    RIA vs ATI vs LSI

    OK, I have a hankering for a carryable 1911. 3+ inch bbl or thereabouts. Don't want to spend a mortgage payment on one, but I'd like some bang for the buck. I've read some very good reviews of the Legacy Sports International Citadel model (3.5" bbl) and the ATI FX Titan. How do Rock...

    Davidsons "Allocated"?

    I have a small dealer in my area who deals with Davidsons Gallery of Guns. I'm interested in several Kel-Tec guns (PF-9, PLR-22, Sub2000) but they all show as "allocated" on the web site. Has anyone ever ordered an allocated gun through Davidsons? If so how long did you have to wait? This is a...

    Early "Gun Control"

    I learned somthing on The History Channel today. In the 16th Century, a Japanese warlord named Toyotomi Hiseyoshi struggled to unite all warlords in Japan under his rule. He ultimately succeded. The first thing he did was to disarm the populace of their swords. He explained that all the...
