Have recently gotten into reloading, finally (really, what took me so long?) and am awaiting a single stage press kit ordered online, but in the meantime I have a question. I found a video online of a person whom used 9x19 brass simply trimmed down to be used as pseudo-9x18 Makarov (marked as...

So last week I turned 21 and picked up a Smith & Wesson 442 (which I love even more than I had thought, by the way) and noticed a tiny spark when dry-firing. I turned out all the lights, checked empty once again, and dry-fired while looking at the rear of the cylinder from the side, and notice...

It seems like I've read a few reports of the Remington 870 Express line not being so great, but I don't remember any specifics. A quick Googling is mainly popping up results from years ago, not current information. I've owned a Mossberg 500 and liked it a lot, but would like to try something...

I was at a gun show not long ago, and had the fortune of handling one of these. Boy was I impressed! The stocks felt great, the whole gun looked great, factory front night sight, and all in a relatively compact platform. It looks to be exactly what I want in a combination of concealable carry...

So I was thinking of sometimes using .22 Long CB caps in a bolt-action .22 LR rifle in the backyard when I get it, right now thinking of the Savage Mark II, but is there an issue of these incredibly low-powered rounds not making it out of the barrel? Of course I don't plan to only use the CB...

Well I'm expecting a little sum for a tax return and was thinking over picking up some AK variant or a Mossberg 500 Mariner, but I've been wanting to do some true long-range shooting for a while. Thing is, in Louisiana there's not a great deal of long range to be had. I remember once on here I...

I don't know how I stumbled on it, but I found the Charter Arms Bulldog Pug .44 Special revolver online, and thought it was a really neat idea. It was a shoe-in for a spot on my list, and I wanted it as a future, Winter-time carry gun when I could more easily hide the extra bulk and weight...

Okay, so I'm pretty interested in guns. Which is putting it extremely lightly. Every single tiny piece of metal they cram into a modern production gun (or any, really) is interesting to me. And I want to be able to make guns work, or work better. That being said, I can't think of any schools...

Okay, so I know .38 Special started as a black powder cartridge that needed the extra space, and we just kept the dimensions the same when we loaded smokeless powder. It's been that way for a while. But couldn't some company load a shorter case to the exact same ballistics? This new ".38...

Okay, I swear this is my last question about my future CCW choice. I've gone back and forth maybe thirty times through a dozen different models. Right now it's on the Smith & Wesson 442 and Glock 26. As much as I love revolvers, especially over the blocky, plastic Glock, I think the G26...

So I'm still mulling over concealed carry options and had been thinking of a Smith & Wesson 637 for quite a while. But I kind of like the look of the black-finished 442 that only comes in an enclosed hammer design. I know in the rare chance (I hope!) of ever having to draw in a bad situation...

I've noticed that although there are some firearms featuring magazines with open panels or clear plastic inserts (Makarov, Magpul PMAG, Chauchat, and the S&W ASP that goes a step further with clear grip panels as well). But it's not a popular design feature for magazines. So in our time of...

For a couple years I've been vaguely considering possibilities for a future choice of handgun to carry, but now that I'll be turning 21 in a bout half a year, I figure now's the time to start really thinking on it. The main issue is I want something big enough to hold onto and use effectively...

My dad picked up a new Ruger GP-100 today, and it seems to be a great gun. Locks up extremely solid and the single-action trigger pull is amazing. But when wobbling the gun in your hand side to side, or tipping it up or down, there's a little rattle--like something's moving around inside...

A little while ago I was trying to get the standard wood stock off my Mossberg 500 to replace it with a Blackhawk collapsible model. Turns out I stripped the screw and had to have a gunsmith remote the stock by cutting and install the new stock and foregrip. It took him a couple weeks to get...

I never had a huge interest in BP firearms, but recently it just kind of struck me that I'd like a cap-and-ball revolver, and remembered that Cabela's online offered some. The 1858 New Army clone by Pietta caught my eye, and reviews seem to be, by and large, in favor of it. Do any of you own...

Sounds like it would be obvious, I know. Take off the rubber plate and use a long, flat-head screwdriver to remove the screw inside the stock. But that's not working. It feels like they welded the thing in there. I'm bracing it as well as I can, and am even working the screwdriver with a...

I had put a Ruger Blackhawk .357 on my list for use as a long-range target gun, but I really have a thing for top-break revolvers. I like the Uberti models based on the Schofield design, but was wondering what kind of accuracy to expect from these. I'd probably go with the 7" barrel version in...

Hurricane season is upon me, and living in the south I have to care. Since I'm only just about to turn 20, CC isn't an option for me, but I still think I might like to be armed. Unfortunately I'm a lefty, which narrows my holster choices for just about anything down to a fifth or so. Two...

I've been wanting a Remington 700 in .308 for the purpose of trying to learn long range precision rifle shooting. Problem is, there aren't that many places in Louisiana where you can even shoot out to 300 yards, let alone 600-1000 (which is what I'd consider "long range"). There's just trees...
