    9mm

    9mm suggestions The only single stack 9mm I have shot enough to develop confidence in is the H&K P7 (M8 or PSP, you pick....) It has been uber-reliable, VERY concealable, it is my preferred primary weapon on hot days where strapping on my Para CCW in .45 is just too much. For double stack...

    Springfield XD-M ???

    LOVE my XD(m) 9mm I picked up a really nice XD(m), NIB at the Wanemacher show in Tulsa yesterday for about five and a half. ($60-$70 cheaper than I could find ANYWHERE, on-line and/or in local shops.) I cleaned it, take-down was very simple and quick. (Passes my first test with flying...

    Favorite polymer .45 ACP?

    Glock 30 is my favorite/only polymer .45 I was almost 100% 1911 for life until a friend put one of the G30's in my hand. I still LOVE my Kimbers, but for concealed carry I end up having the G30 on my side more often than not....

    Rifle ammo handgun

    Pistols chambered in "rifle" cartridge AR-15 pistol configuration - shoots .223/5.56 rounds Thompson Contender - pistol configurations that can shoot nearly any rifle caliber FN Five-Seven - I'm cheating on this one, I think the round was developed so they could have a rifle and a pistol...

    I want a .45? Which .45? HELP!

    Para Ordnance anyone? Of course the 220 is a fine piece. I also own a G30, a Kimber 1911 and recently added a basic, no frills Para Ordnance 1911 SSP. If you are not interested in a single action only pistol they also make 1911 pattern handguns with a very light double action. (Actually, if...

    .45 cartridge found in washing machine... CALL THE BOMB SQUAD!!!

    I'm telling you that if that washer was in Oklahoma, it would have never made the papers. The kid would have put the round in her pocket and taken it home to be with her other .45 rounds awaiting a practice session at the range! Liberals, give them free ammo and they turn it into a freaking...

    Concerning HD shotguns: Pistol Grip Stock vs Standard stock

    PG-full stock ok by me My personal HD shotty is a benelli supernova tactical (I didn't name it, just picked it up because it met my needs...) After shooting 870s bone stock side by side with my benelli, the benelli decision was 100% confirmed. For some reason, the polymer stock with the PG...

    Range costs

    OKC Blessed Well, living in OKC we are blessed with a very nice indoor range complex (25 yard handgun 30 yard rifle ranges) and membership renewals run $125 plus tax each year. Unlimited range time plus 2 large targets come with each visit.(family memberships are only a little more and worth...

    Take a non-gun owner to the range day

    This is a must-do MAN! I am so glad I'm not the only person doing this. I kick myself silly if I am not able to introduce at least 1 person every quarter to shooting and how non-evil guns are. Over the past 4 years, I've used a method similar to the one you outlined and out of the 12...

    Compact 9mm for Carry

    Bender beat me to it! I HIGHLY recommend the P7. CDNN has the best prices on the highest quality specimens I've been able to find in my searches. I bought 2 of them (one to carry and one to "save"). I carry mine in a Cross-breed IWB holster and simply love it. Before that I carried a Kel...

    Trying an new IWB holster

    Crossbreed? I've been using a Crossbreed, very comfortable carry and so far has been a very solid IWB option. The one I have is "tuckable" and actually doesn't really print badly at all.

    Non-expensive 9mm

    For high-cap solutions, getting decent used Glocks for less than $500 are pretty easy. While not a high-cap option, I picked up a H&K P7 from CDNN for just over $500 and have really enjoyed shooting the little squeeze cocker. After a couple of sessions at the range getting used to it, I ended...

    Stopping Power

    Physics Stopping power is much different than kinetic energy. Stopping power is more or less a myth, that's why you get answers like "which ever you can aim better with..." when a "stopping power" question is posed. Which has the greater kinetic energy? Well, physics says (ignoring...

    Mossberg or Remington?

    Mossberg's are pretty nice if you are really on a tight budget. I faced the same question and found a used (barely used) Benelli SuperNova tactical with the pistol grip and ghost ring sights for just over $300. Nice weight, good handling shotgun, and it has black furniture just like you...

    Best 9mm With 5" Barrel

    Old and boring or "New and Sexy"? For old and boring, I'd go with Beretta 92FS (M9, more or less). Mine has done well for me over the last 15 years. Mine has been accurate, reliable and fun to shoot. The G17 is a wonderful weapon, weighs less, but I shoot better with my Beretta at all distances...

    Fired my new-to-me P7 today from CDNN +pics

    Fine selection You got yourself a fine piece bud! I LOVE my P7, bought mine through Cody at CDNN. The local dealers were totally enraged that I could get one of these babies so cheap. I actually needed help finding an FFL willing to do the transfer for me. Had one tell me, "ok" then they...

    On the fence about reloading 9mm, any help?

    Unless you have serious ADD issues, reload. Financially it won't make you rich, but you will save money on a cost per round basis (unless you are really lazy about how you buy components....) NOTE: due to the "explosive nature" of powder and primers, many web/mail order places stick you with...

    Buying a gun out of state?

    I never got why the rifle and handgun purchases are treated differently by the laws. If you want to hear really crazy, in Ohio, you cannot even purchase a rifle if you are from out of state and NOT a resident of one of its bordering states. Really silly stuff about when, where and how we...

    Benelli Supernova

    Don't sweat the small stuff. Ghost rings are really easy to use, focus on front sight, the ring will blurr in and "frame" it, piece of cake. Just takes giving them a chance to work and not over-complicating things. For speed of sight pic. acquisition, you can't really beat them. It took...
