I stopped by a local (Kansas City) gun shop this weekend and was astonished to find that new DPMS AR-15s were going for only $675. The guy behind the counter said that after not being able to get any AR-15s for the longest time, they now have full inventory and cannot move them. Does this...

One of my favorite quotes about the 9mm and it's perceived lack of stopping power was uttered by some Navy SEAL in a Discovery Channel video. It goes something like this: "Some people think the 9mm isn't an effective round, but when I put two rounds through your heart and one between your eyes...

I have decided to get a .22LR semiauto pistol. Based on reading the posts here and elsewhere I've pretty much narrowed my search to the Ruger 22/45 and the Browning Buckmark. My question is which of these two should I get?

I load with FMJ and JHP alternating. If I ever have to use my defense clip for actual home defense I don't have to stop and think about whether the intruder has a heavy leather jacket on or not: I simply shoot in two rounds at a time instead of one (and practice that way as well). If the threat...

I have a Glock and would like to get a Sig P229 DAK: all the build quality of a Sig with more or less the same trigger feel of the Glock.

To be pedantic: the 5.56x45 NATO round develops 1,177–1,708 J (868 - 1,260 ft-lbs) of energy at the muzzle, the 7.62x51 NATO round develops 3,275 J (2,416 ft-lbs) of energy. Factor in the weight of the firearm in question to offset that, but the .308 has a lot more recoil than a .223.

I recall seeing a slow-motion video on YouTube of an AK-47 being fired in automatic mode, and the barrel was bouncing up and down based on the bulk of the gas piston slamming against the back of the receiver and the slamming closed again (before starting all over again). I've frequently seen...

Is there a "good" reason for the lack of interchangeability in AR-10 parts? Is there no published specification of how the parts of an AR-10 interface or is it just a matter of the various manufacturers deciding to keep things just proprietary enough that you can't mix and match components?

Single-shot NEF in 7mm-08.

Does anyone know anything about the Remington R-25 series and it's reliability? My assumption is that it's a Bushmaster AR-10 with a Remington badge trying to be passed off as a hunting rifle. I find it intriguing that it's offered in .243 Win and 7mm-08 as well as .308 Win. Which makes me...
