      New Kimber KDS9c

      Bad experience in the past? I don’t really have any interest in a double stack 1911, but my experience with Kimber would certainly have them higher on my list than other manufacturers producing a similar product at this price point.

      I need help.. I keep buying Beretta pistols..

      Im out of town next weekend so I hope to get there tomorrow or Sunday. I picked up an 85BB last week and a Canik Elite Compact the week before that, so a range trip is definitely in order.

      Springfield 1911 Garrison?

      Yeah, Springfield definitely dropped the ball on the grips. IMO, they took a quality product (especially at its price point) and made it look cheap. That kind of thing always makes me wonder if manufacturers cut corners in other ways as well. I probably wouldn’t have bought it if it were another...

      I’m actually picking up a Model 70s in .22 on Friday!

      Lightweight AR Builders Club

      I have Faxon pencil barrels on two of my rifles and I’d absolutely recommend them. One is on a fairly recent build and I’ve only tested it for function but I sighted in the other on a 100 yard indoor range. I didn’t take measurements but you should easily be able to hold 2-3 moa groups with it...

      Kimber K6xs

      My K6S had an issue with light primer strikes and had to go back to the factory. It works fine now and they have great triggers. That said, this will probably retail for twice the price of a S&W 442 and I don’t think the trigger and extra round is worth the difference in price. On the highly...

      Best starting point for children...

      I started with an old single-shot Savage .22 rifle before moving up to my dads S&W 39–2 in 9mm. My stepson is a little more skittish so I picked up a Ruger MKIV 22-45 Lite. Its controls are closer to what you’d find on most modern firearms than the older MK models. I figured it was a good way to...

      Is the DA/SA pistol becoming a thing of the past?

      I sure hope not. I tend to carry striker fired pistols, but DA/SA is a must on my home defense pistols.

      Shooting Advice for home defense

      It would help a bit but the adrenaline rush from a real world scenario is hard to replicate. I’ve never shot competition, but I’ve been in two home invasion situations and qualified on the DHS course of fire which is timed. People watching you while you’re on the clock and knowing you’re in a...

      Popular handgun fires without anyone pulling the trigger, victims say

      I have two and I have had an issue with one of them. Want to know the funny thing? Sig failed to install the pivot pin in the FCU that lifts the striker safety disconnect. It would still raise, just not as high as it needs to fire. I have first hand knowledge that the striker safety works.

      Popular handgun fires without anyone pulling the trigger, victims say

      “A variant of the weapon is the standard-issue sidearm for every branch of the U.S. military. Since the gun’s introduction to the commercial market in 2014, manufacturer SIG Sauer has sold the P320 to hundreds of thousands of civilians, and it has been used by officers at more than a thousand...

      Handgun Show-N-Tell

      Added this to the P220 family today. 1986 Tyson’s Corner. Unfired outside of the factory.

      S&W ID by Serial Number

      S&W went to the three-letter prefix in the early 80s and it represents the ship date of the firearm, not the model. As others have said, the model number will be under the yoke.

      Building vs Buying

      Whatever you do decide, save yourself some skin and get a medium or large ambi charging handle. Malfunction drills SUCK with a milspec charging handle.

      Building vs Buying

      I’m in the “buy your first and then build,” camp. Learn the platform and your preferences and decide if you want more. There are some tools you’ll need, like a torque wrench/vice/bevblock or reaction rod/armorers wrench, that aren’t cheap. And the ones you don’t necessarily need are certainly...

      What is the end all/be all 300blk out pistol/rifle?

      Are you open to a build or just looking to buy factory? If you’re open to a build, I’ve been really impressed with the 9” BCM barrel. I imagine others have been as well because they can be difficult to find in stock.

      Springfield 1911 Garrison?

      I have one and have been really impressed with it. It outperforms a few others that cost me quite a bit more. I’d definitely recommend one.

      Gun Gripes

      While I’m on the topic of indoor ranges, very few things annoy me as much as the guy shooting his .308 with a muzzle brake on a 25 yard lane.

      Gun Gripes

      I hate when I go to an indoor range and get stuck next to someone shooting a Glock. They have an uncanny knack for ejecting shell casings over the partition and onto my head/down my shirt.
