    Impressive Performance from "Cheap" Guns?

    Tin Star Shooting Range. The main store & range is in Oklahoma, but they do a lot of online business (similar to Kentucky Gun Company). Shipping is free, and only residents of certain states have to pay sales tax. I didn't originally post it because by the time I received the gun and took it...

    Impressive Performance from "Cheap" Guns?

    I have a problem passing up a good deal on a gun. While I’m not going to purchase every Hi-Point I see, the lower the price of any gun from a reputable manufacturer, the weaker the reason I need to justify the purchase. Last week, one of my favorite online sites offered the 5” FDE S&W M&P 2.0...

    Over rated firearms

    I don't believe that any reliable firearm can ever be "overrated". Individual shooters base their firearm preferences, at least in-part, on their own individual physical traits and personal tastes. Since no gun fits everyone's hand the same, a gun that you find to have very mild recoil may...

    Smith and Wesson CSX – Is it Really the New Chief’s Special?

    I had no idea these existed. I always cruise the used gun cases at any gun store I visit, but I've never seen one of these. Were they rare, or did the people who bought them just rarely sell or trade them?

    Smith and Wesson CSX – Is it Really the New Chief’s Special?

    I have nothing against the CSX, but I fail to see how the gun is the next generation of the Chief's Special. The Chief's Special was a small, 5-shot .38 Special revolver. IMO the next generation of the Chief's Special would be the S&W 637/638/642/442 line of Airweight J-frames.

    Trio of Democrats unveil federal gun licensing bill

    I think we focus too much on the politicians who propose this type of legislation. It doesn't surprise me that these Senators would propose such an unconstitutional idea. The fact that it is not unexpected is why I don't have any strong feelings about it. What bothers me is that there are...

    Range Report: SIG P365XL Spectre — Battle Worn

    I really hope the guys at Palmetto State Armory don't see this. I like to save a few bucks by buying their BLEM/Factory Blemished models at a discount. It's gonna cost me if PSA learns that they could sell these same components for $300 more by calling them "Battle Worn".

    Looking for a new CC

    If capacity is the most important factor to you, then the Hellcat or Hellcat Pro is your best option. If you are comfortable with your Makarov's 8-round capacity (I'm assuming it's an 8-round model), then I would recommend one of the Springfield XDS Mod.2 models. The Hellcat is a great gun...

    Subcompact brief test

    I've been meaning to try the Ruger Max-9. I bought a Sig Sauer P365 and a Hellcat when they were released. The Hellcat is a fine pistol, but I was more accurate with the P365, and it felt better in my hand. The P365 was my EDC for several years, but I became curious about the S&W Shield Plus...

    SA-35: Range Session & Takeaways

    I posted earlier about having to send my new SA-35 back to Springfield due to extraction issues that occurred after 200 rounds (1-5 FTE per magazine). The SA-35 performed better after Springfield sent it back with a new extractor spring installed. During the first 100 rounds after it was...

    Ayoob: Is There a 9mm 1911 Problem?

    My hope is that Springfield is working on a stack-and-a-half version of the 911, similar to the Ruger LCP Max or S&W CSX. A 911 with a 10-12 shot capacity (in 9mm or .380 acp) would be my ideal EDC.

    What would you recommend to a non-gun person for concealed carry?

    Like many other posters, I am a fan of starting new shooters on less-powerful cartridges. I love my .22 LR and .22 WMR revolvers, but I have found that the stout trigger pull weight of rimfire revolvers makes it very difficult for new shooters to accurately fire any of them that are small...

    XDM .45

    I'm not an expert, but I have a good amount of experience with the XDM 45. My first question is, did you use a different type of ammo for this session as you did in previous sessions? Different brands, loads, projectile weights, and bullet types can all print very differently through the same...

    Taurus G3C

    I have a problem passing up deals, so I have a G2C and a G3C. I've never had any problems with either one, and the only thing I might knock the guns for is that the trigger breaks a little too far back for my taste. I'm a little surprised to hear that people on the forum have had so many issues...

    Jeep owner getting sued for mishap at dealership

    The owner of the vehicle is being sued because Michigan (like many other states) has horrible worker's compensation laws. Basically, an injured employee cannot sue their employer for negligence for an on-the-job injury in Michigan. The injured worker, or their family, can only be compensated...

    Ayoob: Is There a 9mm 1911 Problem?

    The .380 acp 911 is what convinced me to buy the 9mm version. I found the basic black 911 Nitride Alpha on a great sale at my LGS ($316 OTD) in 2019. I loved the gun so much that I picked up the 9mm version about a year later. I actually prefer the .380 acp 911 because it is slightly easier...

    The Venerable Beretta 21A Bobcat

    I've wanted a Bobcat for awhile, but it's never made it to the top of my list. I'm not sure how often I'd carry it, but I like the design. I like guns with somewhat unusual features like the Bobcat's flip-up barrel. I'd like to think that I'll own one someday, but there always seems to be...

    Ayoob: Is There a 9mm 1911 Problem?

    I'm not opposed to 9mm 1911's, but I would be much more likely to shoot and carry a Commander model than a mini-1911. I like the 1911 platform, but the miniature format of micro-1911's doesn't appeal to me. If I wanted something to conceal, and I didn't want a polymer-framed pistol, I'd...

    Stoeger STR-9F Review: Best Budget Striker-Fired Pistol?!

    The lack of additional magazines with higher-priced guns is one of the few complaints I have about Springfield. I wanted an SA-35 from the minute it was announced, but I was surprised that a $700 gun only came with one magazine. I found it even more surprising than usual because I remember all...

    Stoeger STR-9F Review: Best Budget Striker-Fired Pistol?!

    The Stoeger looks nice and has some features that I appreciate (flat-faced trigger, 17-round capacity). The price is attractive, but I hate when manufacturers only include one magazine with a new gun. It seems like mags for Turkish imports are unusually expensive when compared to the purchase...
