For me its the elegant design and craftsmanship of prewar guns in general. Perhaps not the lower end stuff like Iver Johnson wheelguns, but things like a C96 Mauser, a Mauser 98, P08 Luger, S&W Triple Lock, Browning Auto 5, etc. Back when we had variety in design and guns were more built than...

Originally Posted By: BlueOvalFitter I just found out that CCI & SPEER are the same company. So, just like HORNADY makes the XTP bullet, CCI/SPEER makes the GD bullet. That's what I was trying to figure out. Yep and CCI/Speer are part of Vista Outdoors which also owns Federal Ammunition...

I clean my guns after every use. However, way back in the day there was a guy on the gun forums that shot something like 13k through a DSA built FAL with no real cleanings other than hosing out the action with CLP and throwing the gun in puddles. When he finally did try to clean it, the gas...

UMC is really just range ammo quality. It is the bottom barrel stuff in the Remington family. I would not trust my life to it always going off or expanding. That being said it will test your gun to see if it hates JHP's in general.

I would reccomend a S&W 638 J frame. If you want a small semi auto, and money is not a big concern...Seecamp LWS 380

After the way Chris Cox and Wayne LaPierre screwed the pooch after the Vegas tragedy combined with a board full of sunshine patriots and fudds (Marion Hammer), they won't be getting my money. Get people like Adam Krautt (mispelled to keep from getting censored) on the board of directors and...

Originally Posted By: billt460 I have 3 Sig's and 7 Glocks, and there is no way I would ever chose a Sig over a Glock.... Especially for the military. The only thing the P320 has over the Sig as far as features is that chassis system, and that really has limited benefits. It just means the...

Originally Posted By: Astro14 I think it’s worth noting that the M1 Garand was widely, publicly, criticized as unreliable, overpriced, and not battle worthy. The USMC resisted being issued M1s and began the Pacific campaign largely equipped with 1903s. By the end of the war, the M1 was praised...
