    Given a choice between a shotgun loaded with slugs only and any .223 chambered rifle, which would you choose and why? The purpose would be general, that is, home defense, hunting, dedicated car/truck firearm etc. I have this really strong urge to get a .223 rifle but have to justify getting...

    Tell me what you think is effective defensive ammo

    What ammo do you use in your everyday carry sidearm and why? Personally,I currently use the 185 grain Golden Saber jhp in my USP .45 but considering switching to Cor Bon's Pow'rball because it seems to offer the best of both worlds in terms of penetration/expansion and all comments about it so...

    HK USP round count

    I would like to ask how many rounds the Hk USP,particularly in .45,is good for.I have read in some forums that it is good for only a certain amount of rounds and an average of 30,000 rounds of +p ammo.This info was taken from HK's website under reviews. Why is this so? Many say that the HK is...

    Teflon through a Glock?

    Greetings. What are your takes on using teflon coated reloads through your Glock?I ask coz it seem an ideal alternative to using lead and FMJs have the potential to wear out a barrel(if possible) faster than lead which I have read on several threads. Has anyone tried this?

    More problematic Glocks

    It makes me wonder why so many people are having the same kinds of problems with Glocks...breechface collapse!! The KB issue was bad enough,now there is cracking slides and broken frames and probably more that havnt been reported yet. http://glocktalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=164324...

    Taurus608 or 669?

    What are your experiences with these magnum revolvers? Im planning to get one but have to decide between the two. I like the 6 inch model,looks intimidating,but considering the 4 inch also for carry and I dont care much for the ported models. Price is not bad at all and to my relatively...

    Are Glocks as tough as they claim?

    I've been doing a search over at Glock talk and found several issues on Glocks such as breech face failures,cracked frames and frame recalls. The frame recalls can be explained but what about breakages involving the slide,which is supposed to be as hard as a diamond? I read of a 19 experiencing...
