    Is 5.56 dying?

    I'm seeing a lot of specialty rounds that'll fit in a 5.56mm-sized AR, but I think the 5.56 is probably here to stay. It has a lot of detractors, but it's waaaay too established to go anywhere anytime soon. But, I think there's some room for variants of it. How about the .223 Wylde ? I think I...

    I'd make any gun I could a 10mm!

    Your avatar story?

    Well, I'm a pretty cynical guy, so I thought maybe a little agent mulder action might be appropriate? :)

    Girlfriend's gun — suggestions?

    Good point on the small size 9mm. I suspect it would be a handful for someone new to shooting. A .380 might be a better bet....

    Will Smith Gun Saftey

    Man, I did not know Smith knew about gun handling. But, I guess roles like Deadshot would convey some skills!

    Does anyone carry the XDE

    Out of curiosity, how do you all carry it? Hammer down on safe, hammer down off safe, hammer cocked on safe? That thing seems to give you a lot of options.

    New gun release tomorrow from Springfield Armory!

    Looks like I was wrong, but I have to admit the XDM Elites pretty cool!

    Extended cap magazines — Do you?

    Agreed. I'm not a fan of Glocks in general, but that 33-rounder factory mag makes them a lot more appealing!

    New gun release tomorrow from Springfield Armory!

    Man, I forgot about the yeet cannon! Credit to HiPoint on letting the internet name it and actually going through with it! It's like Boaty McBoatFace :)

    Is the FAL really any good?

    I almost bought an SAR-4800 at a gun show a few years back, but I just hated the thumbhole stock on it. I guess the SAR-48 was the original one with the normal stock, and the 4800 was the "post-ban" with a thumbhole. I did not want to have to get into all that 922R parts business to put an...

    What knives do you daily carry?

    I've carried a Gerber Applegate-Fairbairn Covert Folder for years. https://www.bladehq.com/item--Gerber-ApplegateFairbairn--7654 Outstanding knife, and great customer service. I had a screw back out of the retaining clip and contacted the company about it. They had me send it in, refurbished...

    Best Gun Related Books

    I've always enjoyed the Collector Grade Publication books. http://www.collectorgrade.com/ They are EXPENSIVE, but really good books. In depth, detailed and technical.

    9mm — Is it great or does it suck?

    I think its a solid round, but shot placement is key (as is picking a good laoding and making sure it shoots well in your gun). Heck, the right shooter with a .22 can be deadly.....

    Are silencers worth the money?

    I bet they are lots of fun, but I can't see spending that amount of money on them (and the $200 tax stamp). I guess if I did I'd want to get a multi-cal one that could work on a lot of guns....

    New gun release tomorrow from Springfield Armory!

    Anybody think a .45 version of the Hellcat, sized up a bit?

    I would run from the bear

    That .460 Rowland looks pretty cool. Anyone know more about that round? What's the case based off of?

    What is the best Home Defense Weapon?

    For several years I've kept a 12 ga. 870 with three birdshot shells followed by three buckshot shells with three slugs in my side saddle. I figured the first three would offset concerns of overpenetration, the next three would be heavier hitters if I am still firing, and the last three slugs...

    Cheap interactive targets

    I've been looking for some cheap interactive targets I can use with my CCW guns and just tumbled on these. http://www.championtarget.com/targets/interactive/duraseal.aspx Anyone tried any of these out? Do they really stand up to the abuse of something like a 9mm or .45?
