    My RIA Double Stacked 1911...question?

    So I just got my new Rock Island Armory 1911 Double Stacked 1911 (9mm) (MPN 51400). It came complete with an optic that was almost already sighted for me. I have shot 250 rounds through it and it performed flawlessly! I was not expecting a relatively inexpensive pistol (under $600 on sale) to...

    Question About 2011s (AKA Double Stacked 1911)

    Hi all, I am late to the party here, but my question is, are 2011s worth buying if you are just an "Average Joe" non-competitive shooter? Ok so I have been trained with my two pistols for months now, my Springfield "Defender" 1911 and my Taurus TH9C (9mm). I have gotten very good at both...

    Got My First Shotgun

    Here's my first shotgun I just purchased, The Mossberg 590 Retrograde 18.5" Barrel. I love the look of it and I researched different shotguns for the price and Mossberg was always recommended. It may seem old but it pairs with my Springfield 1911 pretty well, got the WWI vibes to it. On a...

    My Wife bought me a Pistol

    So my wife surprised me with a pistol last week. A Taurus TH9C. She didn't have much money on her, and it was really sweet of her. But I was surprised because this thing shoots really well, and feels very comfortable in my hand. I have heard mixed reviews on Taurus, but I found this to be...

    I Think I Created a Monster!

    Ok guys, so in my previous post on the EDC forum, I stated that my wife and I got firearms and our CCW Permits. So at first my wife was deathly afraid of the Walther P22Q that I got her. But I explained all of the safety features on it (DA/SA, Safety, Mag Safety). After a day or so, she loves...

    Quality/Price Ratio for Pistols, Do Higher Priced Pistols Mean Better Quality?

    Ok this seems to be an age old question, but do Higher End (aka Higher Priced) pistols mean better quality and reliability? The reason I ask is because I have researched and have asked many gun owners this question and I seem to get every answer under the sun. I get the definite "Yes they do!"...
