• Posted in thread: what was everyones first gun? on 05/18/2012 at 12:42PM
  My first gun was given to me by my favorite Uncle. It was an M16 and he gave it to me at Ft Knox in 1970,
  soon after I Enlisted.

  It depends what you want to use the shotgun for. My main concern is personal protection so I started with
  a Mossberg 930. It comes with a 7+1 capacity, embedded Picatinny Rail, ghost sights, and more....

• Posted in thread: A good .40 caliber for concealed carry on 01/20/2012 at 12:31AM
  I started with a Beretta 96D years ago on advice of a LEO who loved it. I am not a big fan of it now
  however. It's not made anymore, so I guess others agree. The Ruger SR40c my wife uses, though, is f...

  It all depends what your purpose is. Mine is defense with a lot of friendly competition thrown in for
  fun. Defense means semi-auto for highest volume of fire, not bolt action. It means magazines and a...

  Full auto increases testosterone, but that's about it. One well-placed, well-aimed round is better than
  all the "spray and pray" in the world. The Brits and the Argentines used the same rifle in the F...

• Posted in thread: best assault rifle on 12/27/2011 at 5:34PM
  It all depends on the mission. Are you going on days-long LRRP's? Then you probably want small and light
  ... something in 5.56. Assaulting an apartment house? Definitely small and light... and maybe b...

• Posted in thread: I dislike the Trigger on the Glock what other pistols should I avoid. on 12/27/2011 at 4:03PM
  This 40cal POS is the worst handgun I have ever encountered. My company gave it to me, I would never have
  chosen it. It has no safety. To compensate for that safety-wise, they made a trigger pull that...

• Posted in thread: What should I look for in a semi-auto on 11/10/2010 at 11:44PM
  I'm just an old retired Army guy. I know that young Soldiers in Iraq I met up with liked Mossberg,
  especially the semi-auto 930 SPX. I've had mine for two years and never had a single failure, firing ...

• Posted in thread: What gun would you reach for? on 10/31/2010 at 10:13AM
  My vote would be for an M1A. M14 is a proven military design, but the REAL issue is range. The official
  "max effective range" of a 223 firing M4 is 660 meters. The max effective range of the 7.62x54 N...

  Saiga 308's come with two 8 round mags. This keeps it a "sport model". You have to add American made
  parts to make it 922R compliant in order to use hi cap mags. (Google 922R for explanations.) Saiga ...
