I (or my wife) have or have had all three. Of the three, two were chambered in 9mm; I had the CZ P-01 and my wife has the M&P 9. The XD is a .45 and is therefore a different beast. But what a beast! Ergonomically, the XD is the most comfortable non-1911 handgun I have shot, and it is my...

What should I be doing? I get complacent at times, living in one of the most pro-gun of pro-gun states that I don't think of how I should be helping on other fronts.

1911's are a wonderful gun. At the risk of sounding like a hyperbole-spewing 1911 robot, I'm beginning to wonder what I'm doing with anything but 1911's. I don't shoot anything as well as I do a 1911, they're flat enough so that carrying one is pretty straightforward (or so I've heard; darn...

I've got one. It's honestly a great little gun. I got it because I wanted to carry a .45 and I've found that carrying a 1911 feels like carrying a lead brick on my belt. So, something smaller and lighter was called for, and the XD fit that bill nicely. I got it at Cabelas, mostly because I...

I've often wondered the same thing. I'm devote meticulous attention to what I do when I reload, and I can say that I do everything in my power to see to it that nothing goes wrong with my ammo. So, how would they know, barring one of the aforementioned snafus, what I was shooting? In short, I...

Now, an important part of this equation that I absentmindedly left out is that it's a new with fewer than 300 rounds through it. It's not a MA compliant model, came with the hi-cap magazines and everything, and six pounds sounds right, but it's gritty, and that's my biggest complaint. If it...

My wife has an M&P 9, and as far as its ergos and pointability, it points nicely. Not as well as my XD, but pretty good nonetheless. It's major weak point is the trigger, which, I must say, is simply ungodly. Gritty and heavy. Yuck. I've wanted to get a trigger job for it, but the smiths...

"Suspended campaign"=possible run in 2012. He's going home to lick his wounds, but he'll be back.

My target load for my AR is 25.1 grains of 748 behind a 55 grain FMJ bullet with a Winchester primer. The accuracy at 100 yards is quite impressive; I have shot 1" groups ("group", I should say; it happened all of once) at that distance with iron sights. I started out about 24.2 grains because...

I had a lousy experience with the FNP-40. While firing, the takedown lever bounced up and dug into the slide, creating a sizable gouge in the slide after 200 rounds. By sizable, I mean probably 1/2 inch long and deeper than one would expect from such a thing. Also, the fit was substandard...

Whatever fits in your hand best. Well, I guess it isn't quite that simple. Of all the .45's I've shot, 1911's are the softest shooting, likely because they weigh a ton. However, they also fit my hand very well. My P220, however, did not fit me as well, and as a result I felt more recoil and...

I've heard good things about their Lever Evolution offering in .30-30. Some claim that the accurate range of the cartridge goes from around 150-200 yards to closer to 250 or even 300 yards. I've never tried it, but once I get my Marlin 336 you can bet that I will. If it works for .30-30, I...

Ditto on decapping it. Done it dozens of times, no problems. Just use an element of care and you're golden.

I hadn't put more than 300 rounds before my XD-45 before I noticed that the trigger was markedly smoother than before. At this point, it's probably at about five pounds, if not a little lighter, and it's nothing but a joy to shoot.

I also had a bad experience with an FNP-40. I no longer own the gun. Good choice on the Sig, by the way; I doubt there'll be parts cracking on that gun anytime soon.

Who wants to invite me along on a prairie dog hunt? Only kidding, of course. We have some around here but the little rascals are gummint protected. Thus, shooting them is completely out of the question, but it's still something I've always longed to do. Have fun and relish the experience!

Man, I sure hope this isn't some kind of hoax. I'm an American, and I firmly believe, as a great American said, that a penny saved is a penny earned. If I get a civilian M-14 copy for $800 or so dollars versus buying a Springfield M1A for close to twice that, I have "earned" $700-800 dollars...

The price tag on these is very tempting....If I knew where to find one I might not be able to resist.

My last .45 was an XD Compact for carry. I adore it. I shoot it better than just about any other handgun I own, probably due to the fact that it fits my hand extraordinarily well. With a pancake holster under a button up shirt it disappears completely. My next .45 will be a 1911, probably a...

I've got one in .223, and if you keep them stock, they are indeed a bargain. However, if you plan on doing the conversion to AK configuration, plan on spending an extra $200 or so on conversion parts and other goodies. So far, mine has close to $700 put into it, including the cost of the gun...
