      Is it my imagination? Or are people trending away from .45acp?

      .45 ACP is my bastard caliber... I've got a .45 ACP version of my favorite handgun in the safe that I've put some rounds through, but I currently have exactly 0 rounds of .45 ACP to my name and don't feel overly concerned about it, either. I'm just a 9mm shooter because it does everything I...

      Gun hoarding

      It's always hard to draw the line between what's "hoarding" and just having a good selection to have the right tool for the job. My stash currently has the most overlap in the handgun realm and still has some perceivable gaps in the longarm space. I could do with diversifying caliber a bit...

      Where did your addiction begin and with what firearms (handguns)?!!

      Started out with my dad's revolvers. Some S&W .38 special pistols, as well as a .45 long colt he had. I really was interested in trying my hand at a semi-auto, and a few years later right at the start of the .40 S&W craze, he picked up a Glock 23. I wanted to love it, but I actually ended up...

      PART 2: I'm new an your 50-post rule sucks! Please change it for my convenience.

      Your rule sucks. I have to actually talk to people​ in order to get anything done.

      When does the magazine shortage start?

      I'm thinking it's time to buy a few extras, meself. Had plenty to go around in March, but a break-in a couple months ago changed that for me. I'm already back to enough to be very comfortable, but would certainly like to have enough extra to keep a few weapons happy at the same time.

      Mind Set: Keeping a Firearm in Vehicle

      I used to keep a rifle in my trunk full time as a convenience item. I've since become wiser and no longer leave any firearm unattended in my vehicle for any long length of time. There's times where I cannot carry at a specific location, so it will be secured in the vehicle for that duration in...

      MSG2

      I was pondering this same thought, too. I'd be very interested in this, plus I have a friend that I guarantee would tag along.

      What have you done this week to prep?

      I just started reading into prepping outside of the guns & ammo type. Practical prepping is best prepping. Also, I'm looking into neighborhood watch groups and militias to try and find a non-extremist group to train, share knowledge with, and help support each other.

      Phone companies phasing out copper lines. Preps will be affected.

      Quite honestly, study up for a technician-class amateur radio license. You can learn some serious basic electrical skills from it, understand radios and antenna design, and pick up cheap hardware that you can use for medium-distance communication. You can pair it up with cheaper, widespread...

      Trauma Bag Suggestions

      These guys are posting some serious truth. I spent a lot of time looking for pre-made because I thought that I'd get the kit then learn how to use it. I still try to do this to no avail. I'd highly recommend getting a basic first aid course and learning how to treat injuries, then take that...

      Which gun was "On Duty" while you slept last night???

      Mossberg 590 with 8 S&B 00 Buck PLUS my CMMG AR-15 with 30 rounds of M855. ...what's a handgun?

      zombie??

      I've got three boxes in my armory (read: closet) so I can top off two whole mags. Only downside is they're 55gr bullets instead of the 62gr I use, so my sighting won't be any good.

      I got my Mosin today!!

      I feel like a sucker now for my "no number matches" 91/30 I got for $110. But then again, it has very strong rifling and operates great, so I got what I needed.

      How many rounds do you carry

      XDM-9 19+1 + 19 + 19 + 19 = 77 9mm Feels like I'm wandering around with a sub-machinegun sometimes. I also keep my AR in the trunk with a sling and with 210 rounds + various equipment in a grab bag.

      Double Duty AR Advice

      I'm hooked on anything CMMG, so I'll make sure to plug in that name here. I've heard nothing but good about their .22LR conversion kits and see them almost exclusively around my local gunshops. I also know they make dedicated .22LR uppers, so you can check into those. One thing I like about...

      Is all .22LR crap?

      I'm a super-lucky SOB to have been able to fire EVERY round I've come across out of my 10/22. I mostly use CCI Mini-Mags because I like their accuracy and consistency, but I've had no cyclic problems with Remington ammo (dirty as it may be), Federal bulk box, and a bag of "mysterious .22LR" my...

      Broken 870 shotgun - replacement stock opinions

      I don't own one myself, but I've been looking into the Mesa Tactical stock adapters. Their LEO model is angled to allow you to use your stock sights, but you can use any AR-15 grip and stock on them, including fixed or telescoping stock plus the accessories that go with them. Plus they also...

      ATTENTION FURRIES

      Might as well poke my head out for this one. I'm one of those furry fellows as well. Knew a guy once that liked to *try* to have sex all dressed up in a fursuit, but it's no surprise that he always ends up single as soon as he does. It's as creepy to me-and just about all of us-as it sounds to...

      What are your SHTF firearms?

      All truly depends on what the exact situation was, but I'm assuming I have to pick up and relocate due to NBC threat or the safety of others that need my help. With that in mind, I'd be carrying my 20" AR-15-which I've tailored-up with all the goodies to suit me well-and my Springfield XDm, 4.5"...
