    Wanting to get into competition pistol shooting, what handgun to buy?

    "The Glock 35's aren't legal for IPSC's "Production Division" because this class requires a minimum 5 lb trigger pull. The Glock 35 comes from the factory with a 4.5 lb trigger pull." Yes, this true for IPSC, but in the USA we shoot under the USPSA rules unless the match is specifically...

    1911 Shooting Hand Position Question

    EVERY one of the Grandmaster shooters in USPSA and IPSC shoot with their grips as high to the center bore axis of the barrel for which ever handgun they are shooting. I have yet to see a master or grandmaster shooter WITHOUT their thumb on top of the safety lever on a 1911 or 2011. The picture...

    How long is my defense ammo good?

    The only issue you have to be aware of is bullet set-back. loading and unloading rounds into the chamber can push the bullet back into the cartridge case and potentially cause a very high chamber pressure upon firing. If you are not doing this, it will last for 25+ years easily. If you are...

    The case for JHP

    your first question should be which of the various ammo choices shoots the most accurate out of the firearm. There are no current factory producted JHP's for defensive ammo that are 'best' per se, IMO. they all can expand and they all can fail to expand depending on the circumstances. Short...

    5 inch vs 6 inch barrel

    I have a Glock 24 and shoot it in USPSA. It's essentially made for the Limited (and Limited 10) division. It's accurate as hell and can compete with the higher end guns just fine. Dave Sevigny beat Rob Leatham in the Limited Division Nationals last year with a Glock 35. It's all about the...

    A non-Glock owners thread

    Glocks are like a red haired woman, either you love them or you hate them. Glocks are like a new born baby, ugly as hell but everyone seems to coo at them. Yes, you actually CAN wash your glock in the dishwasher (fully disassembled of course). The best Glock cleaner on the market...

    Gun Law Prevents Harm, D.C. Argues

    I HOPE this is what they go to the supreme court as an arguement. They will get their asses handed to them.

    How Long Before the U.S. Army Replaces the 5.56mm Cartridge?

    I've seen this before in the military (19+ years of it). I wouldn't bet it will take a change of technology, but a change of leadership to get it done. The current leadership have drawn their line in the sand on this issue. Unfortunately, the latest contract for M-4 procurement will occur...

    Help With Home Defense Shotgun

    Remington makes a rifle sighted smooth bore 22" barrel with an IC choke, not threaded for changing chokes. It works just fine, and doesn't require any gunsmithing. A solid mag tube extender (and longer spring) and you are there. Anything else is personal preference. BTW, there is...

    Encore Experience

    You are killing me man. The US Air Force has forced me to move from CO to MD with less than 1 1/2 years to retirement. I left the wife and kid in Castle Rock, as I am retiring and going straight back home to CO. I shoot USPSA matches in Idaho Springs and up and down the front range. Was...

    Wad Cutter in 45 ACP?

    Are you talking about semi-wadcutters or real no-crap totally flat in front wad cutters? SWC's would be ok, but I would imagine you are going to run into a lot of cycling issues with a WC in a semi-auto 45. Kimbers don't use a feedramp, and ACP's essentially chamber off of the outside edge of...

    What type of ammunition is best in self-defense?

    Any quality factory made defense ammo works as good as another. I would choose which ever one shot the most accurate out of the gun in question and go with it.

    Guns (with Silencers) of the Cold War Era of the 1960's

    Tommygun, quote the whole sentence. Read it to yourself a couple of times. Then read your post..... and you can use a silencer on a revolver. You can even put a god awful 10lb steel silencer on the end of a glock and the silencer will work, but I never said it was the best choice or even...

    Guns (with Silencers) of the Cold War Era of the 1960's

    I think you would be better served doing some research on how the various silencers work on a firearm. Your question implies there are only certian firearms that can use a silencer, and that just isn't the case. Hell, you can put a silencer on a shotgun. Some calibers work better than others...
