Gun specs and ammo would be helpful for folks too. Load data if...

    I need a little help from some of you 1911 guys. I just bought my first 1911 a Sig Scorpion 5in bbl. I've owned and shot around a dozen pistols in all calibers, but I'm having trouble out of the gate here with something I've never seen. I took it right to the range, loaded up the two mags...

    Double tapping (the bad way)

    So recently, I've had an issue I never faced before in around 12 years of rifle shooting. I have started accidentally double tapping my LR-308 Mega Arms build. I've had the same trigger in it the whole time, and the only change has been a new Harris bipod. I have a Wilson Tactical TTU 3-Gun...

    The Spall Liner

    Hey friends, this is a question for those of you that have experience with hard armor. I'm looking at picking up a set of level III steel/titanium plates soon. These have been debated back and forth with pros and cons over ceramic, but that isn't what I'm looking to get into here. I need...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns New Glock 19 Gen 4 Range Report

    Over the last few weeks, I've been doing research on my next purchase, a Glock 19. For a number of reasons, I've decided to give it an opportunity to be my CCW gun.

    Suppressors [PICS] Silencerco Osprey on M&P

    Yesterday I finally got to shoot my new best friend, the Silencerco Osprey on a Smith & Wesson M&P 9. Did I mention I'm in love? At an indoor range I fired a mix of 147gr 9mm and some lighter stuff. I was shocked at the difference in in volume between supersonic and subsonic rounds. This thing...

    DPMS LR model decision time.

    Gentlemen, I have dedicated an $1800 budget and I've spent a good amount of time narrowing down the choices for my first 308 or 7.62NATO semi auto setup. This will be a muti-purpose rifle for ranges above what my SCAR-16S is used for. Accurate enough for target shooting at longer ranges out to...
