    Ruger SR40c versus Glock 23

    Hello all! I will soon be in the market for another handgun and am likely going to be taking the plunge into acquiring my first Glock. I already own a Ruger SR40c and find that the recoil of the 40 S&W round combined with a smaller grip (i have gorilla hands) makes the gun rather difficult for...

    Question for Smith and Wesson M&P 45c owners

    Hello all! I just recently purchased an M&P 45c and enjoy the firearm a great deal but failed to notice something with the firearm that I have just now become aware of. Whenever looking at the rear of the gun I notice that my slide does not fit flush with the polymer lower frame. There is ~1/8"...

    Looking for 45 ACP Bullets. Any suggestions?

    I just recently purchased a Smith and Wesson M&P 45c and am eager to start throwing some lead down range but I'm finding it both difficult and costly to find 45 ACP ammunition in stores. I have all that I need to reload the ammo (dies, powder, primers, and cases) but I do not any ACTUAL 45...

    Little something for all the "Assault Weapon" Zealots Out There

    This does a pretty good job of explaining why the term "assault rifle" is not accurate when used to describe the weapons that are being villainized.

    So now it's Youtube....

    Anybody on here tried watching videos over at Youtube recently? I was just over that way checking out some videos and all of a sudden an ad showed up and take a guess what it was. It seems a bunch of hollywood actors and performers have decided to come together and make a Youtube video urging us...

    Alternating HP and FMJ Causing Jams. Why?

    Hello all! I have a RIA 1911 Tactical 45 and am very pleased with the firearm for the most part but have noticed noticed something very peculiar (to me at least) and was wondering if anybody could offer up some kind of explanation. Recently I had two boxes of ammo, one WWB Hollowpoints and the...

    M&P 9 Finish Wearing

    Ok, so I have had a Smith and Wesson M&P 9 Full Size for about 2 years now and recently noticed a spot of rust on the slide towards the muzzle. I promptly removed this rust with some gun oil and soft cotton cloth but am concerned about the finish on my gun. The gun has seen very little carry and...

    Purchasing a Handgun in NC with SC Pistol Permit

    Well I posted this under another topic a few days ago so thought I'd post here to hopefully get a little more visibility. I recently put my Beretta Storm Subcompact up on Armslist and have received an email from an interested party. Upon communicating with this individual he told me he has a SC...

    Limit on how many handguns you carry?

    A friend of mine today brought up the fact that his CCW instructor had made a special point to express that under NC law you could only carry one handgun on your person at a time. I, however, have never heard mention of this and as a matter of fact I've heard there was no limit. Does anybody out...

    Mixing ammo in RIA Tactical 1911 causing jams?

    Today I was firing my Rock Island Armory Tactical 45 and decided to alternate the ammunition in both my mags. I was using WWB 230 grain JHP alternated with Federal Champion 230 grain FMJ and I was experiencing a jam I have never encountered before. It always appeared to happen when the Federal's...

    Cross Creek Mall Conceal Carry Question

    I recall back when I was taking my concealed carry course my instructor informed us that Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville, NC had up "Weapons Not Allowed" signs. He then went on further to explain, however, that these signs were not posted on all entrances into the store (some of the anchor...

    Question for Ruger SR40c Owners

    I was looking over my recently purchased Ruger SR40c and noticed that when the slide is locked open the round to be loaded is oriented to the left of the intake ramp rather than straight down the center as most of the other guns I own do. Has anyone else observed this?

    Ruger SR40c and Failure to Fire tonight - thoughts?

    I recently purchased a Ruger SR40c and haven't had a chance to put very many rounds through it yet but something happened today that has me a little concerned. I would say that all in all I have put about 80 or so rounds through the gun. The first 50 was a box of Federal Champions that I bought...
