Question for you knowledgeable semi-auto guys. I just bought a new, off the shelf Glock 27. When I rack the slide with purpose, it goes in to full battery. If I rack the slide and release it gently it hangs up or sticks right before full battery. From there with a slight nudge it will go in to...

Is it ok to store guns and ammo out in my garage in the cold? The garage of course is dry, but the temps around here for the past 10 days or so have been between -4 to 14 F. The guns and ammo are in a safe, but I am pretty sure that there is little to no difference in temperature inside the...

Lots of folks mad about CheaperThanDirt.com's decision to quit selling firearms. Lots of folks right here on this forum say they will no longer support CTD because of that decision. So if CTD advertises here, how many of you will quit this forum for allowing a spineless jellyfish to advertise?

I was taught and still believe that the common/standard hunting rifle sight-in is 100 yds. Is there such a standard for practicing with a hand gun? I have been shooting at 10', 15', 21' and 30'. This also brings up a second question...now I am wondering if I shoot at 30', is it overkill or a...

My wife and I have been together for 19 years. During this time I have owned a few handguns as well as hunting rifles and shotguns. For 19 years I have always asked her if she wanted to go hunting or shooting with me, and her reply has always been, "ummmm....no". She has never been against...

Today I purchased a new gun, a S&W SD9. It is a nice looking gun, feels good in the hand, and was within my budget. But something happened tonight that has me a little worried. Tonight I ordered a DeSantis leather OWB holster for it, and until it arrives I have been carrying it in an inexpensive...

My wife and I visited Las Vegas last week-end for the very first time. We walked the strip, went to a show, and overall had a great time. We had never been around so many people. There certainly is a lot going on, and it is nearly impossible to have total SA under these conditions. As we were...

When stupidity takes someone's life, should they be held accountable? I think they should be. Link Removed BOISE -- Gregory Shain, charged with involuntary manslaughter for shooting and killing Gary Arlen Jr. back in March, was back in court Thursday. It was a preliminary hearing to determine...

My wife could care less about my guns. She could care less about shooting. She could care less about carrying a gun. She has no interest. She is not against guns. She doesn't care that I have guns, that her dad has guns, and that our son has guns, or the neighbors have guns, or that you have...

Not trying to beat a dead horse or be an azzhat. Not trying to say that one is better than the other. Just trying to understand the thinking. In the motorcycle world, there are some folks who are hard core and brand specific, but for most riders it is not what you ride, but that you ride. I am...

I live in Idaho. I have 2 questions regarding carrying in Idaho that I cannot seem to find the answers to. Can you help me out? I have the non-resident Utah CC permit, but not the Idaho CC permit. 1) If I am carrying openly, how much of the gun can be hiding before it crosses over to being...

I know where you keep your gun. Seems to me that the nightstand is very popular. I not only read about it here, but if you listen to people and read just about anywhere else, you will find that the nightstand is the choice of many. With criminals having this knowledge, is the night stand really...

The black community is outraged that a young black 17 year old teenager was gunned down, and they want justice. The black community cries the race card and it seems that all of black America wants Zimmerman's head. So my question is, where is all of the Hispanic support for Zimmerman? Cannot...

I did a quick search, did not find the answer. Just curious. Barring LEO's and professions where guns are part of your work equipment, how many of you are allowed by your employer to carry at work? More specifically, while on the clock? I will start. Unfortunately, my employer does not allow it...

I have only been carrying on a regular basis for about 2 years now. During those two years I have read 4 or 5 stories locally concerning the issue of "I forgot I had a gun". When I carry, I am very conscious of the fact that I have a gun. I have not yet "forgot". Just wondering if forgetting has...

I think the OC crowd is kind of nutty, just like the Westboro Baptist Church is kind of nutty. Every group has their nutty folks, and in the gun owners/lovers world, the OC'ers are nutty, IMO. Kind of like motorcycle riders...we all love 2 wheels, the wind in our face, etc., but the HD riders...

Seems like whenever I start a thread I open a can of worms LOL. I'll try not to do that this time. I am not a professional reviewer, so please don't take it as such. Just a few of my thoughts on the gun. I recently purchased a Ruger LCR .38 Special revolver and finally had a chance to get out...

I work retail for a big box store(no not Wal-Mart)and one of the store's policies is no firearms allowed on the premises. Our store is a private membership business and the store is exempt from the laws of public accommodation. The store does not need to post signage, nor wants to clutter up the...

If you were accidentally shot by someone, what would be the largest caliber and type of bullet that you would like to be shot with?

Money is tight and I don't have friends with handguns, so when it comes to finding the right gun for me to conceal carry it has been a chore and somewhat expensive as well as taking nearly 2 years of trial & error. But I am pretty sure that I have finally found the right one...the Ruger LCR in...
