    Future of 5.7x28mm ammunition?

    FN Five-seveNs are pretty popular and now that FN plans on releasing a P90 I'm wondering what the future looks like for ammo choices and availability. With SS192 going for over $1 per round (more than .50 AE) I'm curious if anyone plans to release some decent loads soon or is our only choice the...

    recoil of 10mm and .357 sig

    normally like to shoot a round before deciding to buy it, however, there is no range that I'm aware of in the Ft. Lauderdale area that rents 10mm. For years now I've had an eye on the 10mm, the ballistics impress me but I try to keep my calibers to a minimum since I don't reload. Also, at 5'6"...

    first precision rifle- Win. 70 Stealth II vs Rem. 700 PSS vs FN PBR vs Tikka T3

    No doubt, the Savage is a lot of gun for the money. Arguably the best value. However, the action isn't very smooth, that bothers me a lot. Most people recommend the 700PSS, but my question is, how does it compare to the Win. 70? Is the Winchester really that much less gun? It has a smooth...

    Illegal search?

    The LEO is only allowed to detain a driver for as long as it takes to write out the citation for whatever traffic offense was committed. About the most evasive search they can do without probable cause is to have police dogs sniff around the car for drugs (can't let the dogs go inside though)...

    first precision rifle- Win. 70 Stealth II vs Rem. 700 PSS vs FN PBR vs Tikka T3

    I'm looking to buy my first precision rifle in .308 (I don't reload). The longest range within reasonable distance from me is 100 yards, so most shooting will be done at that distance. I want something with a smooth action, good trigger and at least MOA accurate, but with the ability to upgrade...

    Kimber Raptor

    SpaceCowboy, MIM is Metal Injection Molding. This process of producing small parts is analagous to solid wood compared to particle board. Instead of machining small parts from solid pieces of steel, Kimber finds they can save a few bucks by mixing metal fragments and an adhesive compund under...

    Kimber Raptor

    Wow, I like that, kinda like an affordable EB Kobra :) . Except, it's a MIMber, but maybe I can forget about that and learn to enjoy it

    M1 Carbine Ammo Report

    This is not what I want to hear! I just bought 500 rounds of American Ammo .30 carbine at least weekend's gun show :banghead: . I've used their .32 ACP FMJ in the past with no problems and even got decent accuracy. I guess I should've spent a little extra on S&B carbine ammo. Doesn't it piss...

    Will old, moist shells pattern poorly? *VERY IMPORTANT*

    **Update I reviewed everything today. Posting pictures is out of the question, sorry. The good news is that I grossly overestimated the group size. It is actually 10 inches in total diameter. The shots did not ricochet off the ground but rather impacted at an acute angle or possibly...

    Will old, moist shells pattern poorly? *VERY IMPORTANT*

    Thanks for all the replies. I'll take a look tomorrow at the photos and check into the exact ammo load and get back to ya'll. It seems like the group might be a little smaller than I originally thought, maybe closer to 15" or less. Hopefully I'll gather all the info I need tomorrow. lbmii...

    Will old, moist shells pattern poorly? *VERY IMPORTANT*

    Hey everyone. I don't really have much experience at all with shotguns other than what I read. But I need some help for a very good cause. I am helping someone who was involved in a self defense situation involving a shotgun. I can't give any details now because it hasn't gone to trial yet...

    which grips for a stainless 1911? Help me choose

    The new 1911 still hasn't arrived yet but I'm already exploring accessory options. The gun in question is a Les Baer Premier II in stainless steel. I've always liked the classy look of a stainless 1911 with either ivory or pearl style grips. I can't afford to spend several hundred bucks on ivory...

    HELP!! Garcia Industries .380 ???

    Garcia DID make a copy of the .380 Colt Gov't Model. How do I know? I've held one. It was marked "Garcia Pony" IIRC. I would pass on it. My grandfather has one of these that he says he bought back in the 70's (he thinks) and I compared it to the Colt .380 my father used to carry. The Garcia...

    Rock River Arms 1911s

    Cratz2, I was considering the Trojan but I didn't think it compared well to those other models. This is just absed on what I've read since I have never shot any STI. When shooting a STI Trojan can you tell that it's several hundred dollars cheaper than a Brown, Baer, Wilson, etc??? I'm also...

    Rock River Arms 1911s

    I'm in the market for my first 1911 and last week a gentleman at the range was kind enough to let me shot several mags through his Les Baer Custom Carry and Ed Brown Kobra. Both are nearly perfect handguns as far as I'm concerned. It made me rethink which 1911 I plan on buying and now I want...

    Les Baer PII Range Report (Lots of Picts)

    Peter, thanks for the fantastic review. Yesterday a gentleman at the range let me shot a few mags through his Les Baer Custom Cary and his Ed Brown Kobra. The Ed Brown wins the beauty pagent, but the Baer was simply incredible. I shot a 1 inch group at 7 yards with 8 rounds the first time I...

    Is the SW1911 any good?

    Does anyone know when the scandium commanders are coming out and what they should be selling for?

    RAMI to be made in .45 GAP

    That should be interesting if it takes at least 7+1, but I doubt it will. Now why the heck don't they make a .357 SIG if they're already willing to gamble on such a new cartridge? My RAMI wil be in 9mm when I can find one :D ......I like these new rounds but 9mm is just so cheap.

    Rami Report!

    Thanks for the great review! This will become my 9mm carry piece for when I get my carry permit. My 75B is a bit too large, but the RAMI I handled felt perfect for carry. Too bad the only shop in town carrying these is asking $520 :what: . I too wish they made these in stainless steel, that...

    The DW Patriot, the CZ-75B, the Hi-Point, and the Wife

    McNutt, first off......you have excellent taste in guns :) . My favorite 9mm I've ever shot is the CZ 75B. I'm more accurate with my CZ than any other gun. I could have most any 9mm I want, but I choose the CZ not just because of the value, but because it'll feed anything and keep 'em all in the...
