    Knife Steel: "A-U-S-8" or "Aus 8"?

    I've only seen it in writing. How do folks pronounce AUS-8? Do you say each letter or pronounce it as "Aus" (like the first syllable of Austria"?

    .357 mag vs .38 sp: can police forensics tell the difference?

    Since the bullets themselves are the same size, can police forensics people tell if someone was shot with a .357 or a .38? Assuming no shell cases are left at the scene. (This question prompted by the end of My Cousin Vinny, where the sheriff testifies that the store clerk was shot with a .357...

    Holster for Ruger American Compact 9mm?

    Anyone with a RAP compact 9mm? What carry holster are you using? I'd like something in kydex with some kind of positive retention system, like the button on a Serpa or even just a decent thumb break.

    Ruger PCC with Ruger American magazines

    This rifle takes SR9/Security 9 mags by default but I know there is an optional mag well for a Ruger American Pistol. I just purchased a Ruget American compact and I'm thinking about picking up the PCC. Anyone have experience using RAP mags with the PCC? How'd it go? Any problems?

    Retention Holster Question

    I'm asking about holsters that have screws you tighten to adjust the level of retention. I've never had one, they make me nervous. It seems to me that if you tighten such a holster enough to keep the gun secure, that would make it a tight enough fit that you would scratch/scuff up your gun...

    Walther PPS and PPQ: Poor/Unsafe Design?

    I have owned both of these for years and enjoy them very much. However, one thing that recently occurred to me is that the design may be potentially unsafe, at least as far as the "Four Rules" go, specifically Rule 3: Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are...

    Does anyone own both a Springfield XD-S 9mm and Walther PPS 9mm?

    If so, can you tell me if holsters for the XD-S will work with the PPS (original PPS not M2). The specs indicate that they are nearly identical in size (width, length, height), but that is on paper. I'd like to know from real world experience if they work with holster's made for the other.

    Denver CO: Why do so many gun stores not do private FFL transfers?

    In Colorado private gun sales have to go through a FFL who will do a background check on the buyer. I've only been living here for about 6 or 7 months so this is a new thing for me. I'm trying to sell a gun but it seems like almost every gun store says they don't do private transfers on their...

    What is the real definition of "Mass shooting"?

    I don't want to get too deep into the FL shooting, but one thing that irked me was the news bringing on one of the usual liberal talking heads spouting off nonsense along the lines of "300 mass shootings a year" and "almost one mass shooting each day". Of course he then casually, almost as an...

    Any news on Buffalo PDs JRC .40 carbines?

    Not quite a year ago there were stories about the Buffalo NY PD issuing JRC .40 carbines to some of their patrol units, over some rather vocal objections. Have there been any reports about how these have performed in the field (or IF they have been used at all).

    What makes a gun "beautiful" or "ugly"

    I have seen a fair amount of criticism leveled at guns for their looks, this one or that one is "ugly" (most recently in the thread on the new Ruger PCC, which I think looks great). What makes a gun attractive or not, to you? Rifle, pistol, shotgun, whatever you feel like answering about.

    Custom kydex holster with button retention?

    Does anyone make custom kydex holsters with a button retention system (similar to the Blackhawk Serpa)? Alternately, does anyone already make one for the Walther PPQ?

    Extended magazine release for Girsan MC28?

    I just purchased a Girsan MC28, and I like almost everything about it. The only think that doesn't work for me is the magazine release. I assume most people activate the magazine release by pressing it with the thumb of whichever hand is holding the gun. Because of the position and...

    Girsan MC28: Where to get extra magazines?

    Does anyone know where to buy extra magazines for this gun? I've had my eye on it for a while and just ordered one on a whim. It comes with three magazines, so I should be ok for now, but I'm sure I'll want a couple more at least down the road. Can't find them online anywhere. Oh, and if...

    Kel-Tec Sub2000 M&P 9mm version: what size magazines?

    Does it only take the 17 round magazines of the full size M&P 9mm, or will it take the 12 round magazines of the M&P compact?

    Non-"Assault Rifle"-looking pistol caliber carbines?

    It seems like most pistol caliber carbines I'm seeing these days have-and I hesitate to use the term because it's not accurate, but hopefully you'll know what I mean-an "assault rifle" look. Are there any in current production with more traditional rifle aesthetics, like the old Marlin Camp...

    Talon (or other) grips for Walthert PPS?

    I like my Walther PPS, but it has one feature that makes me nervous-the backstrap safety. If the backstrap isn't on, the gun won't fire. My worry is that if I drop the gun and the backstrap breaks and comes off, I would be defenseless. Right now I have a rubber slip-on grip (Hogue or...

    Just Right Carbine (JRC) Takedown model: Modifications?

    I just got a JRC 9mm Takedown model in 9mm, and I'm looking for modification suggestions. I understand it is compatible with many AR parts. I must admit that I don't have much experience modifying guns. Aside from switching the grips on a couple of revolvers, all my guns have pretty much been...

    SIG P250 vs P320

    My recent search for a new high(er)-capacity 9mm has led me to these two guns. They appear to be pretty much identical except one is hammer-fired and one is striker-fired. Does anyone have experience with both who can compare them to each other? From what I've been able to gather the P320...
