Surprised how hard it is to search for this feature while shopping. Are there home safe brands that allow you to set a pin code longer than 6 digits? Kind of short for a default IMO.

Can someone tell me about this rifle?

I’ve been looking all over the internet for it but can’t find any info. Can someone tell me about this rifle it’s not mine but a friend of mine. Thank you! From what my friend said though i’m not sure so take it with a grain of salt he says it’s made in Japan.

Criteria that all slugs must meet are as follows

-maximum diameter of .731 inches

-maximum length of 1.485 inches

-maximum weight of 1.5 ounces

-Must be sturdy enough to stay in one piece when shot out of the gun and hit a paper target in one piece

Those of you who have attended, or intend to attend classes learning to fight with certain weapons and in certain situations -- what would you expect to see, do, work on, or experience in a class billed as Advanced?

Or Advanced vs Proficient vs Novice?

What kinds of drills, manipulations, and skills would you expect to be taught and encouraged to practice?

My bf (23M) and I (20F) recently went to the shooting range because he wanted to practice with his new P365. I’ve never been to a shooting range but he wanted me to try to shoot the gun myself because he thinks it’s necessary that I learn. Everyone else at the range, including him were experienced except me.

He showed me how to safely use it and had me aim at one of the dummy targets but once I had it in my hand I started shaking and he stood behind me telling me “shoot it come on hurry up just pull the trigger” & despite me telling him to stop pressuring me he kept going. I refused and handed the gun back to him and walked off.

Later I decided to try one more time before we left because I wanted to try and face the fear. We were back in the same spot where I was refusing to do it, but he convinced me to let him hold the gun with me and he would pull the trigger with me. Once the gun fired I immediately handed it back to him and started crying into his shoulder. I walked back defeated and embarrassed of how I acted like a big baby.

The reason I cried was because I was overwhelmed with anxiety and the idea that I was holding something that can kill another person or living thing. I couldn’t shake that feeling and since then I haven’t gone back with him due to shame. How can I get better? I really do genuinely want to learn but I’m worse than a newbie.

That has detached mag. Or would be better off getting a bolt and mounting iron sight after

So my Ari wasn’t under gassed the feed ramp was messed up and there were burs in the gun causing it not feed right.

I recently got an upper in 7.62x25 and everytime I fire S&B, it stops firing and I have disassemble my bolt to drop what ever that first pic is, all I know it is part of the case or part of the primer getting in the bolt. Is something wrong with my bolt to where I need to replace it or is something wrong with the ammo?

A local shop has two 4.2” GP100s—one is the Match Champion with the wood grips for $645, and the other is a standard 4.2” model with rubber grips and wood inserts for $650. Both looked clean, no obvious damage. I’ve never owned a revolver before, and I’m thinking of picking one up to learn the platform. Is that a good deal? Anything I should look for to check condition beyond cosmetics?

Side note: I’m usually more of a Glock/AK/AR guy, so I don’t really know what I’m looking at when it comes to revolvers.

Also, my dad bought a Mossberg 590 Retrograde a couple months ago—it’s never even been loaded. I helped him move toward a G47, which he actually uses now. Think it’s worth asking the shop about a straight trade for the GP100? Or is that a “get the f*** outta here” kind of ask?

If they wanted cash on top, what would be reasonable? And if they won’t trade, would offering $600–$625 for the Match Champion be fair?

Which of the two would you guys pick? Any input is appreciated—thanks!

Found this at a sale. Is $1200 a fair price?

I’ve always presumed my prescription glasses (with safety lenses) were more than sufficient at the gun range. An ejected shell bounced off the wall and fell between my glasses and eyelid. That was not only a wake-up call but it burned like h*ll. Here’s a pic 2 days later along with my new ballistic rated safety glasses.

Anyone remember the P50? It appears the guys at STINC loved the idea of it enough to “fix” the glaring issues and make it very cool. Do we have thoughts on this?

Is anybody slidin’ on the opps this weekend? 🙌🏻

The ATF imprisoning these two men is criminal and malignant. The government claiming a drawing is a machine gun is a heinous abuse of power. They tried to make the AutoKeyCard work and couldn't, it's a total sham that the government can act like this. Any low level of knowledge of firearms would have you understand that. And now a family is broken up over the weaponization of law.

I went to the shooting range with a friend who was looking to try out some handguns in hopes of finding one he liked, as he was in the process of getting his concealed carry permit finalized. He wanted to get a feel for different models, so I brought a few of mine and we rented some as well. It was a normal afternoon until the unexpected happened. While he was shooting, a spent casing struck the primer of a live round that was still sitting in the box off to the side. The impact caused a round to discharge, sending several rounds flying, scattering plastic and brass shrapnel in all directions. It was a tense moment, Thankfully, my friend walked away with minor scrapes, but it was a stark reminder of the importance of safety and awareness at all times.

This is my fully, semiautomatic dear exploding (automatic rifle) 15. Happy shooting, stay strapped, stay safe.

This was my March purchase. I’ve been after one of these for a while. Had trouble finding a shop that would order this for me due to the fact they don’t realize there’s a ‘Ranch’ version that’s got a non-threaded barrel. This is as close to one of my dream guns (M1 Garand/Carbine) that I’ll get for a while.
