I've been thinking of picking up a 28 gauge auto lately. I have a Beretta AL391 in 12 ga. and love it, but for some people I've introduced to shooting, it's been a bit much (even with 1 oz loads). I'm looking for a low recoil gun that's also light weight. Primary use would be skeet and...

I have a .300 Win Mag rifle and a lot of 7mm brass that I've picked up from the range...some of it consists of complete boxes of empty cases people stuck back in the original box and threw in the trash! Don't have a lot of .300 Win Mag brass, and even though it is easy to find, it's not cheap...

I'm looking for a larger .357 to shoot max loads through. Here are the main uses, both what I already do and would like to be able to do: -Silhouette shooting matches -IDPA/USPSA -Steel Challenge -Sidearm when hunting; for defense against hogs and coyotes or to take a close shot on...

The gun is 12 gauge, side by side, with external hammers. It has a regular extractor (not ejector) and double triggers, semi-pistol grip stock, checkered pistol grip and forend. The gun locks up tight, hammers are free of slop, looks to have all original parts, except for one hammer screw...

Not long ago, I purchased a new Glock 30 in .45 Auto. The gun was reliable in its extraction/ejection when shooting. However, with a loaded magazine inserted, rounds could not be hand-cycled through the gun. If there was a round in the chamber and a loaded magazine inserted, the round in the...

S&W is in Massachusetts. Colt is in Connecticuit. Remington is in New York. Weatherby is in California. Beretta USA is in Maryland. Dan Wesson is in New York. Para Ordnance is in Canada. Rock River Arms is in Illinois. Obvioulsy not every gun company is located in an anti-gun state...

If all 1911s made after this year are going to carry the "100 Year" moniker, is there any point in buying one this year, say, as opposed to 3 years from now? It's not really feasible for me to buy one right now, and there are a lot of things on my "list" ahead of it, but I would like to own...

I know each finish has its own merit, and as such, its own place on particular firearms. If you had to pick just one finish though, what would you pick and why? Don't say you want DuraCoat on your hunting rifles, nickel on your range guns, and xxx on your carry gun, that's cheating :D...

I bought a S&W 13-1, and disassembled the gun to have a look at the internals. I took everything out--hammer, hammer block, trigger, hand, the whole 9 yards. I didn't take the actual hammer assembly or anything else down into its respective components beyond that though. Decided I didn't want...

Generally speaking, the people that I know who own firearms are safe, competent, responsible individuals, and good people to boot. I have encountered numerous people while at the range, gun store, hunt club, etc., however, who seem to have no regard whatsoever for muzzle direction. When I...

I've done a lot of business with MidwayUSA, and have been well-satisfied with their pricing and how fast they ship packages. Generally speaking, they are my online go-to source for all things gun-related. There website might be a little slow at times, and products frequently go in and out of...

I want one! Apparently, Glock and Wesson makes a 45mm "FPO" model designed in 1789 by Colt Koch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXlAnARgm68&NR=1 No idea what a "Worrell Silhouette SP-83A" is either. Maybe the target? I know most videos like this are a joke, with an attractive woman...

Anyone who has perused these forums long enough will undoubtedly encounter posters lamenting the loss of yet another respectable gun company who sold out. This can be for various reasons, including but not limited to cutting corners/cheapening the final product, siding with anti-gun...

Ok, there are a number of production and wildcat cartridges now that top 4,000 fps. The .243 can do it, as can the .300 Weatherby Mag, if not in factory loadings. This is a velocity a lot of people thought would never be possible. Is it possible to create a cartridge that fires a projectile...

Found this page and thought it was cool that a non-gun-related website was trying to clear up myths about guns. They could have found better clips on youtube, but it is what it is: http://www.cracked.com/article_18576_5-ridiculous-gun-myths-everyone-believes-thanks-to-movies.html...

Just finished loading up some rounds and decided to try a little experiment, on a whim. Here are the results of my rather brief and simple experiment. 4 rounds of .357 mag handloaded ammo, using nickel cases, Federal primers, and 158 gr. XTP bullets were selected at random from a batch I'd...

I know most recommend sorting by manufacturer to start with, but after that, is there any additional sorting I should be doing? I have cases by Federal, Hornady, and a few rounds from some Russian company that makes ammo for Academy Sports. All are once-fired, and were fired by me, in my...

I've got a new rifle that I plan to shoot mostly handloads through. It's chambered in .300 Win Mag. Will shooting reduced loads through it be beneficial to the break-in period, make no difference at all, or do I need to break it in with full-power loads? The manufacturer recommends a 50 round...

A local store is closing these rifles out for $419+tax. I handled it and it balances well, and is very light. Tried doing some research on it and found that they are no longer in production, were contracted out, and some models were recalled. I'm posting here to see if anyone owns or has...

I've got a S&W 640 (no dash) and I've found someone that wants to trade an EAA Witness .45 for it. Here are the specs on the guns: S&W 640 (no dash), .38 SPL original wood grips approx 85% condition S&W box (not original to the gun) EAA Witness full size .45 SS "wonder" finish 1 mag...
