Well my second day of shooting my new LCP was not as successful as my first. The first session gave me faith in the little gun. My second session removed my faith. It's not currently fit for personal defense. It consistently has problems feeding rounds into the chamber. It usually happened...

My brother-in-law just got his father's old H & R Sportsman, .22 LR, break open revolver. He could not, for the life of him, figure out how to break it open to load it. I came over to his house to see it. I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to break it open. I've never used or...

On Thursday, I called a local gun shop which has sold between one and three LCP's a week for that last couple of months. It was my fourth call that week, and they said they had 2 or 3. I went and bought one. I shot it today. I like the little gun. I'll say this, too: though it's not the...

Has anyone heard anything about actual performance, range reports, or sales of the new Kahr .380? All I know about it, outside of the pictures and specs, is that it was to ship in June, and it's June. Any news?

Inspired by the wonderful website, boxotruth.com, I decided to do my own experiments out in the vast Utah desert. I brought along 20 gallon-sized milk jugs filled with water. I wanted to test some Fiocchi 9mm JHP self-defense ammo. I've been hoping the Fiocchi self-defense ammo is good...

Here's a riddle for you. The 9mm was dumped on by the FBI after it's failure in the Miami Shootout. It was criticized because a 9mm round stopped short of the heart of the bad guy. So the FBI came up with the 10mm. The 10mm proved to be too much for the average agent to handle effectively...

I know HKs are quality guns. I've never actually fired one. But I'm not talking about their performance or ergos. I'm strictly talking about aesthetics. Personally, I think HKs are ugly guns. And I mean Hi Point ugly. I wouldn't buy one because of how ugly they are. What do you think of...

I live in Utah, will soon move to California. I'm not excited about having to buy a gun with a magazine disconnect. I'm just wondering what the pros and cons are to everyone. I don't see any pros. My biggest con is that I don't want an extra part, and I don't want it to affect trigger feel...

If the LCP had a stainless slide, I would buy one today. Does anybody know if they have one in the works? Every other Ruger semi-auto has a stainless slide version.

I was at a gun shop today, and I asked the guy if they would be getting in the LCP anytime soon. He said no and probably not ever. I asked why. He said because Ruger's being sued by Kel-Tec and they've got an injuction stopping further manufacturing. In my head, I was thinking, wow, this guy...

Can I take a handgun on a cruise ship that will port in foreign countries? Is international travel with a gun legal in any circumstances?

Outside of the United States, what countries have the best pro-gun gun laws?

A simple question really: In your estimation, what is the best all around state in the Union for gun owners?

I'm just curious who has more than one gun in the same caliber. Do the poll and then by all means elaborate. Why do you have more than one in the same caliber? A surplus of money? You love all the guns so much? You love the caliber? You don't have the money, but do it anyways? And if you...

I know that heading was a bit misleading. I meant "pulling the trigger" in the sense of closing the deal. Bottom line, can anyone tell me why I shouldn't buy it? Or why I should? I love the way the gun feels in my hand. I like DA/SAs. I've checked around at a few gun shops in the area and...

I would like to love Glocks because of their reputation, but everytime I pick one up, the finger grooves don't line up with my fingers. Everything is thrown off by the top groove. For my hand, it is too close to the trigger guard. My hands are slightly larger than average, but by no means...

Okay, recently I've been following the newest incarnation of the 9 vs. .45 debate. And of course the 9 vs. .40 is a popular argument. A lot of people say it's just beating a dead horse. Personally, I like beating dead horses. But here is a horse that's not been beaten enough. Which is a...

Okay, here's comes the fusillade. I'm a registered Democrat, and I'm completely pro-gun rights. An oxymoron for most if not all of you? Am I alone? Let the bullets fly.

I have been thinking about a 1911 lately. I like the way they look. In the hand they feel okay, if not slightly oblong. I recently picked up a Sig P220 and like the shape of the grip a little more. It holds one more shot. I can get it in DA/SA. And then another kicker was demonstrated in...

I don't understand why cocked and locked is such a glorious way to carry. Couldn't you get the same effect if you carried a DA/SA with the safety off. If you need that first trigger pull to be single action, couldn't you just as easily train yourself to cock the hammer as you raise the gun as...
