      Federal Syntech 150gr 9mm TSJ Range Report

      I am working on reducing the impact operating a firearm has on my less than healthy shooting hand. Besides ordering a super heavy Sig P320 X5 Legion, I’ve been looking for lower velocity training ammo. I have a friend who is a competitive shooter and she recommended Federal Syntech 150gr Total...

      Walther PPQ Match 5 SF Pro

      Hi folks: I am thinking about a high end gun when I’ve put the money together for it. Right now, I’m thinking about the Walther PPQ Match 5 SF Pro. Tell me why you think this is a good or bad idea, why you think so, and if you don’t think it is a great choice, make a recommendation. The only...

      .357 Magnum Load for a Six Inch Barrel

      I just ordered a Chiappa Rhino 60DS and I'm looking for a really hot 357 Magnum load, from a perspective of both velocity and fragmentation. I'm leaving toward G2 Research Telos, but I'm open to suggestions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Getting a Maryland Non-resident W&C Permit when I already have a Resident Permit

      I have a Maryland Wear and Carry permit related to my business. I'm moving just over the line in PA, but will still be conducting business here. Will I need to go through the entire permitting process again, or does my current permit get me some sort of fast track?

      Maryland in the Rear View Mirror

      I have been a Marylander for 25 years. Next month, I will wave good bye to this state that has been my home for nearly half of my life. We are moving to Red Lion, PA. I'll still be working in Maryland and my extended family is here. I'll also continue to teach firearms classes here, but this...

      Looking for HPRB (recently attended) Tips

      Today, I received my notice that my request for a hearing with the HPRB was received on March 29th and that an appointment for a hearing would be forthcoming. I already have a wear and carry permit with the typical "while doing business..." restriction. I'm appealing to have the restriction...

      S&W M&P 380 Shield EZ

      Has anyone applied to get this on the Handgun Roster? I'd like to get one for my wife because she has a very hard time racking slides. P.S. I know about the recall on the models with the thumb safety. I'm not interested in that model. P.P.S. Please don't school me on your favorite racking...

      Canik TP9SFx Range Report, Part Two

      Quick recap. I cleaned all factory lube, relubed with Super Lube with PTFE, racked the slide 100 times, dry fired 25 times with a snap cap, and repeated two more times. I took it to the range with three boxes of Speer Lawman 124gr and shot 150/150, no failures. Tonight, after cleaning and...

      Range Report for Canik TP9SFx

      I took several people's advice in preparing for my maiden voyage with a new TP9SFx. I ran 150 rounds through it with no malfunctions at all. This is the result of the last box of ammo: This is what I did: 1) Broke the gun down and completely cleaned it. 2) Lubed it with a synthetic lube...

      Ammo for a Taurus Judge

      I'm picking up a Judge (steel frame Public Defender, 2" barrel, 2 1/2 chamber) shortly and I'm looking for some input on ammo. For .410 shells, I have Winchester PDX-1 and Fiocchi 000. I have very little experience with 45 LC. I have a few questions (with <10 yard range home defense in mind)...

      Marksmanship versus caliber

      So many times, we see discussions, debates, and diatribes about which caliber is best. This article from the USCCA addresses what I think is the true measure of stopping power, marksmanship.

      Why are SureFire Handgun Lights so Expensive?

      I just got a solid aluminum, quick disconnect, 300 lumen gun light from eBay for $19.99. The shipping was free and it even came with the 3V lithium battery. It fits my Glock 23 like it was made for it. A comparable light from SureFire is going for $279 at several vendors. What makes SureFire...

      Diagnosing failure to eject problem in AR

      I have a newly built AR. It is chambered in 223 Wilde. When I run 62 gr XM855 5.56x45 through it, the gun works flawlessly. When I run 55 gr .223, it fails to eject the spent case nearly every time. Any ideas as to the potential cause? I checked the gas block and it appears to be properly...

      Range in York, PA area that doesn't charge members a lane fee + membership fee

      I have recently introduced a friend who lives in the York, PA area to pistol shooting. The ranges he has looked at so far charge an annual fee and then a fee to use the lane. Does anyone know of a range in that area on either side of the border that just charges an annual fee? Sent from my...

      GWACS Armory CAV-15 Mk II Lower Review

      About a month ago, I decided to build an AR. I found out about the GWACS Armory CAV-15 fully populated lower (see http://www.gwacsarmory.com/cav-15-mkii-fully-populated-ar15-lower-receiver-ar-15/). I was intrigued because I'm a former infantryman who learned to shoot on M16 A1s and A2s. The...

      I'm building an AR pistol with an Anderson 7.5 inch 5.56 1:7 barrel and I'm looking for recommendations on defensive ammo. When you reply, please give me your rationale for the recommendation.

      High Capacity Glock 40 S&W Magazines Near Maryland

      I recently picked up a Kel-Tec Sub2000 in .40 S&W (Glock). It has been begging me for a hi-cap stick magazine. I just got done with a brief vacation in Virginia thinking I could find some there. No luck. Plenty of 31 round 9mm Pro-Mags to be found, but no .40s. My dear wife suggested that we...

      I'm picking up a Bersa T380MC Thunder Combat and I'm wondering if anyone experienced with the Thunder 380 platform has any tips or recommendations (apart from the sarcastic, "buy a different gun" variety). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
