So I'm moving to Abilene this week, and I need some suggestions for ranges, shops, competitive shooting orgs (pretty much anything. Never shot competitively before, but I want to try it out), Anything shooting related in or within, say 45min drive of Abilene. Also, if there are any BBQ joints...

I found this in my inbox from Military.com. Its a politically neutral article about the FAL and its history. It only uses the term "Assault Rifle" one time, but uses it correctly referring to the AK-47, which we all know, in its military form does have a selector...

My friend's girlfriend wants advice on a shoulder rig for a Browning Hi-Power as a birthday present for him. I searched Galco, Fobus, Safariland, and Milt Sparks and can't find a shoulder rig for a Hi-Power. I don't know much about shoulder holsters, configurations, accessories, etc. Please...

I got a hankering for a taco tonight and decided to grab some Taco Bell for dinner. I usually go through the drive thru but for some reason tonight, I decided to go inside. Immediately as I entered, I noticed something was not quite right. There were two men working and one customer at the...

I got my first Promag magazine for my Sig P6 from Aimsurplus today. I took it to the range and put 100rds through it. I gotta say, I might be buying factory mags from now on, even for over double the price. I noticed that loading it was a little tough. Sure its a new mag, and the springs might...

This isn't a scheduled event, but something I got thinking about tonight. Next time my folks come to visit, I really want to go shooting with my dad. He was (is?) a Marine, and an Expert Marksman by their standard. But that was 30+ years ago. He has never owned guns, and has only shot a handful...

I'm sitting here watching "Tougher in Alaska" on the History Channel. I don't know the host's name, but he's working with railroad workers in Alaska and they were doing avalanche control with a 105mm Howitzer. They couldn't allow him to even touch the ammo, but they gladly accepted his help with...

This is a touching story. I don't have a link to the original story, but a friend sent me this link. I'm posting it here for a few reasons. Its a beautiful pistol which obviously has some history. Second, with all the folks around here living in Texas, maybe someone can help find the original...

I am wondering if anyone who lives in an apartment building or complex has trouble receiving ammo shipments. My building is locked down tighter than Fort Knox and the Fed-Ex delivery folks aren't even allowed past the office. They drop all the packages there and we have to go down and pick them...

I have a question about 9mm brass. Whenever I go to the range, I put at least 100rds through my Sig P6. Just plain old range ammo. Every time I get home and clean the pistol, I find little brass specs, like dust, all over the inside of the gun. Is this a problem for the gun or the brass? I...

No, this isn't another "how do I carry?" thread. I have this one figured out. I do a fair amount of bike riding (10-30mi a week). I also live in a relatively urban area at the moment, and especially since I just moved here, I wanted to carry a few essentials (wallet, keys, cell phone, pistol...

I've been looking at 10/22's and the prices seem to vary as much as the factory options. I don't know a whole lot about the options and don't much care. I just want a plain vanilla 10/22. So the question is, what should I expect to pay for the above described rifle, NIB? Thanks a lot.

So I just moved to Little Rock, AR, and found the Gander Mountain. I have never been close enough to one to go and look around, and I was impressed. The wall of long guns was great, the handgun cases were not as impressive, but still fun to look through, and the rest of the store would've taken...

I'm taking a 6-month trip to Little Rock next week, and I want to find out what the Laws are about carrying in the car, CCW, etc. Is my FL non-resident permit good there? I haven't had time to get a TX resident permit yet. Thanks in advance!

This Thread got me wondering about the drinking habits of my fellow gun owners. Most of the shooters I know personally are both range buddies and drinking buddies, but we never, ever mix the two. Separate from the poll, what would you do if you were sitting at home, relaxing with some...

I have a friend who is looking to dump a gun or two to get some money for a motorcycle; high gas prices and all. He offered me his Balister Molina(sp? please correct me if i'm wrong) plus 4 mags, and a brand new IWB leather holster from Holsters By Eric. He asked $300-friend price. Problem is...

I need a new CCW gun. Its going to be a 9mm, semi-auto. The list I've come up with is all within my price range, around $650, so please try to keep other suggestions around there. Also, I like 9mm, but will entertain .45's depending on price. I don't like .40SW. Please post your reasons for...

I'm looking for an alternative to a heavy gun safe. I'm in the military, and thus I will be moving every few years for the foreseeable future. The military will only pay to move 10,000lbs of stuff, and I don't believe they'll transport firearms, so blowing a few hundred/thousand pounds of my...

I have a Taurus PT111 Millennium Pro in 9mm. I bought it used, but it wasn't very used. I've had it for about a year and a half. I've heard of Fail to Fire being common on these pistols, but I don't have that problem. I have a fail to extract problem. It seems like it only chokes on WWB ammo...

So my weekend started Friday. One of the squadrons at my base hosts a POW reunion every year for former Prisoners of War from the Viet Nam conflict. So we had a presentation in the morning where 7 former POWs talked about their stays at the "Hanoi Hilton" and various other camps. Then for the...
