    Making an 870 lighter

    The 870 is plenty light enough for me ok. I can handle it just fine. And I do go to the gym, every day. Once again. Thanks for the constructive posts at the beginning of the thread. It seems to have turned into the little kid play area though, so I think I'm done with this thread. This is not...

    Making an 870 lighter

    I looked into those barrels. They're a little much so I think I'll be leaving it as is. Thanks for the useful responses though. Doesn't sound anything like that to me at all. Sounds to me like someone who is in grad school and has slightly limited means at the moment bought a budget minded gun...

    Let's have a candid conversation about GLOCKs.

    I'm pretty glock neutral. I've owned a G19, an XD, and currently have an M&P. The G19 just didn't fit me at all. The hump in the grip pushes my hand up and over to the right which makes the knuckle of my thumb get bit by the left lower corner of the slide. I liked the gun I just couldn't deal...

    Making an 870 lighter

    Thanks for the tips. Not gonna pick up a new gun as this one is new. Thanks for the tip on the receiver, hadn't thought of that. I'll take a look at those barrels and see what I think. A lighter barrel is probably the route to go. The gun isn't too heavy as is, I just wanna make it a little...

    Just picked up a Ruger LCP - any tips?

    Lot of haters in here. A small pistol like the LCP is a last ditch effort to GET AWAY, which you should have already been trying to do. The reality is 1 or 2 rounds in the situation this gun is designed for will probably help quite a bit. The LCP is plenty reliable. Take it to the range often...

    Making an 870 lighter

    I just recently picked up an 870 express 12 ga for the upcoming hunting season. I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything I could do to lighten it up a little. I like the 28" barrel so I don't want to shorten it up any, I also like the wood stocks so I don't want anything synthetic. Is...

    My next five (handguns)

    My most 5 wanted right now: Sig 220 (no idea what configuration yet) SA Professional HRT model (for my first 1911, I just can't help it) XD .45 Tactical Kahr MK9 Too many ideas rattling around for the 5th to make a decision, just picked up an XDM-9 so I guess you can call it that.

    Need some advide..Ruger LCP issue

    Take it to a gunsmith and have them polish the feed ramp, throat the barrel, and check the extractor/ejector. Then make sure you keep that bad boy clean. The little guns like this are pretty finicky because they are so tiny. Do the above then run about 500 rounds through it as a confidence...

    thinking about a new carry pistol

    Just a thought, if you've written off a striker fired weapon because you want to be sure it's cocked by visual indication. The XDs are still an option as they have a striker indicator in the rear that sticks out and can be felt and seen for verification. Also the PPS has a red indicator in the...

    Whats best for night time (low light) defense?

    I'm no expert but IMO just as there is no one gun that works for everyone. There is no one answer to this question that works for everyone. For instance, I live alone, so as far as home defense goes I have my XDM with night sights and a surefire handheld. If I hear someone breaking in my plan is...

    revolver vs. autoloader cc

    I have a 340 M&P J-Frame as well and love it but it's a bit big for my pockets so I just bought an LCP for pocket carry and it works great. I plan on carrying the revolver on my waist in the winter. I feel confident with both of them. Just have to see what you like the best but most people have...

    Looking for a 1911 that runs like a Baby Glock

    Kimber, Springfield, Colt, and Para all make small carry 1911s in .45 ACP. However, if you're looking for something as small as a baby glock it aint gonna happen. Even the smallest 1911s still have a taller grip that the G 26/27. You could try a G30 but it's a bit blocky, you could also try a...

    Taurus Slim at the NRA Show

    I liked the first version of the "slim" much better. They set a release quarter for it a long time ago then stopped that changed the gun and have set another release quarter. I'm not a fan of the new rendition. The old one had smoother lines which = concealed easier; especially around the rear...

    On Ruger's Website what all the hype about

    I don't know much about AR's I haven't really gotten into them because I don't have a use for them so I don't have an opinion on the new gun although it looks nice. I would like to see an SR45 without a thumb safety and in the same size frame as the SR9. I do have an opinion on people flaming...

    Making the Most TactiCOOL hi-point ever

    I watched the same show. I stayed up because I wanted to see what gun the punk used. Did you think it was funny that he denied it even though they found the guys wallet and the gun where he was staying and then he tried to say it was an accident even though he robbed him and stood over him and...

    Bowie Tactical XD's

    Anyone have any pictures of some XD's that have had work done by Bowie Tactical? He only has like one or two XD pictures on his website so it's hard to see what his work looks like on them. I'm looking specifically for pics of 5" .45 ACPs but any will do.

    Glock redemption!

    I thing there is a difference in their grips across the board. I own a 19 but the grip doesn't fit that great (my thumb tends to ride over the left side of the frame and make contact with the slide). This is because I have to shift my grip to the right to get off the hump. I'll be selling it to...
