    ATF Warning on Forced Reset Triggers

    There's a variety of people on YouTube, some of which are lawyers, who've been talking about this. For those of you that don't know what a Forced Reset Trigger is: It mechanically forces the trigger to reset while you're maintaining a squeeze against the trigger, which causes the gun to...

    Cabela's

    Before Basspro bought Cabelas, all Cabelas brand items had a lifetime warranty. For this reason I purchased Cabelas branded fishing poles, fishing bags, and other items. Shortly after Basspro took over, my $59 Cabelas branded headlamp malfunctioned and when I went in to exchange it, that's...

    If No Ammo, Why do I get 5 Emails a Day of Ammo on Sale ?

    IMO, what's keeping the prices high right now is the fact that consumers are willing to pay for ammo at these prices. There’s millions of new gun owners around the country who became gun owners during the COVID ammo shortage and these are some of the lowest prices and best selection they've ever...

    Why Won’t People Carry?

    Some people prefer to stick their head in the sand and pretend the risk does not exist. Some can't even handle the subject and claim that simply discussing it gets them too scared and too upset. Some of those people often will go on a rant about how guns should be illegal... and then I'll point...

    My M&P milled for RDS

    In my opinion, going the route of having the slide milled is far superior to using any OEM optics mounting system that involves adaptor plates, especially if plastic plates are involved. Specifically with M&P optics ready guns, the plastic plates can shift and move causing a loss of zero, and...

    Has Smith & Wesson abandoned the .40 S&W cartridge?

    No, that would be your reasoning, which would imply no rifle innovation or development should have happened after the AK47, which is exactly opposite of what I'm saying.

    Has Smith & Wesson abandoned the .40 S&W cartridge?

    And yet 40 S&W delivers superior energy, expansion, and penetration to 9mm and allows for superior magazine capacity to 45 ACP. I see 40 S&W more as an "option" than a "compromise" simply because 100% of caliber options compromise something in some way. The only fair compromise point on 40 S&W...

    Suggestions for red dot for Shield plus

    As others have mentioned, Holosun 407K or 507K depending on what you've got for a reticle. The 507K is what I've got my eye on, and I would just have the slide milled directly for the optic. The only thing holding me back is clearing up a financial obligation before any firearms/...

    Old Age The Hits Keep on Coming

    I can not stress the importance of my above suggestion enough.

    Old Age The Hits Keep on Coming

    Go to the mattress store and get a medium-firm mattress, or whatever you like, but get a head and foot adjustable base under it. Sleep on your back with the head and foot inclined 2-3inches each. This will take the pressure off the lower back Anyone who has lower back problems needs to do...

    Changing out your carry ammo

    With my home defense guns that don't get carried, I'll let that ammo go for years, because it doesn't get carried. It's fine. For carry ammo, lately it kinda depends on what I get into. I carry IWB and if I sweat through my cloths heavily, get rained on and soaked, or similar, that ammo comes...

    Has Smith & Wesson abandoned the .40 S&W cartridge?

    As others have stated, 40 S&W blends the horsepower of 45 ACP with the capacity of 9mm. It's an excellent compromise round between the two calibers. In a handgun that has the wrong ergonomics for your particular hand, such as me with my 12 year old Springfield XDM, you'll definitely notice the...

    Buffalo Bore .380+P (100 gr) in Glock 42

    Whether or not you believe there's potential for problems in a Glock with hard cast lead, if an under-expanding standard pressure 380 hollowpoint over penetrates, what exactly is the point of +P hard cast 380? It just seems like a solution that solves no problems and opens the door to entirely...

    Buffalo Bore .380+P (100 gr) in Glock 42

    Over and above reliable penetration and possible expansion, would be reliable operation... which you've called into question The only way to be sure it will operate reliably, would be to test a volume of it in your specific gun, which leads to a major problem... The polygonal rifling in a...

    Has Smith & Wesson abandoned the .40 S&W cartridge?

    30 SC does have some promise and potentially a real place in the market if we were to see a platform designed around the cartridge instead of a preexisting 9mm platform being adapted to the cartridge. With 30 SC, it should be possible to achieve a level of gun thinness and magazine capacity...

    Is the social media influencer opposition to manual safeties irresponsible?

    Gun manufacturers follow regulations and they follow market demand. Gun reviewers on YouTube have significant influence on market demand, especially when it comes to the market for polymer frame striker fired guns.

    Is the social media influencer opposition to manual safeties irresponsible?

    For those of you grumbling about the words "social media" and "influencer" being in the same sentence, all that you're succeeding in doing is displaying your own ignorance. None of this is new terminology. It's not like I'm talking about some Twittering idiot who's jumping up and down on Tiktok...
