      Are guns in .40 going down in value

      I’ve been noticing 9mm is taking over with it’s new more powerful loads even competing with .40. Most people down right don’t want 40s are 40 cal handguns going down in value.

      Lever action

      Recently, I have gotten the itch to add a lever action rifle to my collection. I have never owned one before and don't know much about which rifles are the best choices. I am mainly interested for target shooting purposes. I would not rule out using it for hunting down the road. I am...

      Sound travel over 1/4 of a mile?

      I have recently acquired some land, and I want to shoot there instead of at the range. I really don't want to be an annoyance to some neighbors about a quarter mile away. I have a few acres of woods that I could fire in if that could help dampen the sound. Surrounding my land is flat cornfields...

      First "big boy" rifle. Suggestions?

      I'm strictly a paper killer at this moment, and I love shooting my Savage .22, however I think it's time to check out something with a little more oomph behind it. Ideally, I'd like something that's great for precision target practice, and maybe hunting (should I get into it in the future). My...

      What is the "Supreme" handgun round

      Not what do you carry, what do you think is "best." Please, comment on WHY you think it's best. Given all the different uses handguns can be put to, I think the reasoning should be interesting. If I leave a caliber off, write it in and tell us why it's better than the ones listed! I've only got...

      What caliber gun do you carry?

      This isn't a .45 vs 9mm vs. .40 thread. We've had several threads about what you carry, what kind of gun you carry etc.... How about a poll to see how many INGOers carry what caliber. I'll start. 9mm

      The 9mm is NO defense

      Range Report: Penetration Tests vs. HDs (.22, 9mm, .223, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, 12G -Pics)

      Range Report: Penetration Tests I had been considering some penetration tests for some time. Basically, look at the actual real life penetration capabilities of various ammo that I keep as standard loads in my gear. My stumbling point was in not having a good volume supply of items that...

      9mm vs. .40 caliber recoil

      My son is currently in the market for a handgun to be used for home defense. He is a big guy like myself so he could likely shoot about anything without having to worry about recoil. However his wife is petite and he wonders whether she would be able to comfortably shoot a .40 caliber ACP. The...

      .223 vs 5.56

      AR n00B here. Search did not find anything. In planning for my AR build which upper caliber should I get: .223 or 5.56? I have read that a 5.56 upper can use .223 but a .223 cannot use 5.56 (due to the added "power" of the round). Ammo wise which is cheaper .223 or 5.56? Which is more...

      5.56 or .223, or both?

      I have a Bushmaster AR15 DCM, I have some 5.56 ammo, from what I have been reading on here and other boards, you should not run 5.56 ammo in a gun chambered for .223 as the 5.56 is a hotter round. My DCM, according to the Bushmaster website, lists that the caliber is .223 or 5.56. Do they...

      Tell me what are the advantages of 40 Smith & Wesson.

      From the time I got into shooting, to the time i got my gun permit. I have believed the 9mm the to be the best caliber in my opinion. Due to the capacity, light recoil, inexpensive on practice ammo compared to other calibers, and the fact 9mm is pretty much everywhere in the world. It is my...

      Better caliber in an apartment: 9mm or .40 S&W?

      I'm looking at purchasing my first handgun for self defense/home protection/target shooting. I'm looking at a Glock 19 (9mm) or 23 (.40 S&W). I've shot both with about the same accuracy at 21 feet and am comfortable with both. I like the .40 S&W because frankly it makes bigger holes and packs...

      Ammo for home defense in apartment complex

      I have been doing some reading about different types of ammunition for personal defense, and stumbled across some articles and forum posts about frangible ammunition for situations where over penetration can cause serious problems. I live in an apartment complex that seems to have pretty thin...
