I was thinking of picking up a .30 Carbine, mainly just for fun and possibly defense if ever needed. I hear a lot of Internet chatter about the .30 Carbine being an ineffective round and it's better to go with the .223/5.56 (hereafter called 5.56). Although I can see why for long ranges past...

I'm trying to decide on what sights to get on a 590. I hear both good and bad about Ghost Rings. The negative I hear about the rings is that the POA and POI for slugs can be way off and adjusting the rings doesn't help. (got this from gun-tests.com on a test they did of the 930 SPX) A lot...

So I live in the PRK (People's Republic of California). On the desk of the Governator is a bill that will make online purchasing of ammo illegal for CA residents. :banghead: So I'm going to stock up. My shotgun is mainly for self defense (it's a 12 ga. CZ 712 20" barrel). I just got it and...

I'm interested in purchasing one of these: http://www.raacfirearms.com/Los_7-1.htm I can't find one anywhere. Has anyone ever seen one being sold? I'm looking for a 'cheap' .308 bolt action rifle with iron sights and this definitely fits the bill. The reviews show they are pretty accurate.

So, I've decided to take the plunge and join you all in the world of shotgunning. I've shot rifles all my life and am a decent shot. Two years ago I really got into handguns and now I'm looking towards my first shotgun purchase. From my experience with other firearms here is my path I'm...

So I've managed to put through at least 600 rounds of .357 down my M92. Here's the rundown: Cons: 1. Binds on many (Magtech, Fiocchi) 158 JSPs. 2. Just barely shoots 147 Fiocchi. Binds occasionally. 3. Will shoot just about any 125s or .38 Specials. 4. Shoots all 158 grains low with...

Check this story out. http://www.seattlepi.com/local/366777_bearhunt13.html?source=rss Black Bear attacks hunter after being hit with a .338 then is hit with 4 rounds from a .45 ACP then 2 rounds from a .44 Mag. finally finish him off. All from a 250 lbs. Black Bear! That is one...

I recently purchased a CZ 75B and love the gun. It is my first DA/SA handgun. As far as having the gun ready for operation, why not just have it cocked and locked instead of 'decocking' it manually with the hammer down on a round? Or when I decock it, am I supposed to put it in the half...

So I'm pondering some choices of putting together a scout rifle. It doesn't have to fit the exact Jeff Cooper definition. I'm not going to chop the barrel. It does have to hold at least 5 rounds though. So, my options are.... 1. Winchester 70 platform Caliber .308 Add Iron Sights...

I want to purchase a .22 LR handgun, generally for target practice to keep my ammo expenses down a bit. I won't be using it for hunting but will use it for long range (30-60 yards) plate shooting. It looks like it's down to a 617 or Mk III. I've haven't shot either. The price ranges are...

So I got out today and shot my new Puma Italian made .357 win 92 clone. It's a saddle ring style, case hardened with 20" barrel. Fit and finish are excellent. Only minor cosmetic issue is a little metal was shaved off under the hammer. no biggie you can't really see it unless you look...

I just paid for and got to hold (I'm in California so I have to wait 10 days) my new Italian made Puma M92 in .357/.38 with 20" Round barrel. I only had about 5 minutes with it but the fit and finish was excellent. I'm pretty picky and from what I saw everything was put together very well...

Does anyone know if it would be possible to take a Ruger Redhawk in .45 Colt and have a gunsmith make changes to the cylinder to allow both .45 ACP using moon clips and .45 Colt w/o clips? I know there is a Blackhawk with a separate cylinder for each. (I'd rather have a double action then...

So I'm in the market for a shotgun (oh and a rifle, a few handguns, another rifle.... does it ever end?) I saw a 870 Police for sale between $500-600. Anywho, besides the increased quality control of the Police model. How does the Police handle compared to the Regular and is it worth...

I was at my local dealer the other day and saw a Winchester M88 in .308. I always liked the idea of a lever action with the ability to use spitzer type bulllets. Anywho, if anyone has experience with this rifle and can shine some light on the good, bad or ugly of it, it would be much...

A few months ago I purchased a GP100 6" half lug and I love it! I hit a sheep sized silhouette at 100 yards without support the other day. I never thought that was possible with a handgun! (but I'm a relative newbie) Anywho, I plan on getting a trigger job and Hogue grips. What...

I'm relatively new to handgun shooting (about 2 years) and absolutely love it. The only part I don't love is the high price of ammunition. I was tired of spending way too much time looking for the lowest prices on .40S&W and .357 Mag. ammunition, so I created this site...

Simple question (I hope). I just bought some Hogue grips to go with my GP100 which has the old standard rubber with wood insert grips. I can see how the Hogue grips go on but have no idea how to get the 'grip panel locator' off (i.e. metal cylinder on bottom of handle). It seems...
