I love and utilize both calibers equally, so this isn't some double secret probationary conspiracy theory from me to re-ignite the caliber debate of the ages. I thought it might be an interesting read for aficionados of either caliber. (Link below paste) "9mm Versus .45 Caliber: Does Size...

I have a Rock Island Tactical 1911, NRA 95% or better, with nice Bianchi leather paddle holster, extra Chip McCormick mags, and several additional grips. Has case, etc. I bought it to use as a pattern for a Caspian I built for my son, and now that the Caspian is done, I have no use for it. I...

So I was originally going to get a s&w 642 for pocket carry this next payday. However, I have been thinking of getting something else. Mostly due to the fact that I ordered a tuff products pocket holster to try out with my grandmas 642 and it does not fit in the pocket of my ****ies. So I...

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/73497-1.html i just came upon this gun and i kind of like it. i was wondering if anyone owned it or knew if it was a POS. now i know that it isnt extremely applicable in SHTF situations but its not really for that, it looks fun.

I really been digging sub guns for SHTF purposes lately....this is just awesome: And for the heck of it check this dude out with the FA AK action: Ah yes....nuthin like the smell of discharged rounds in the morning...... If any guys here have experience with these platforms, PLEASE SHARE...

All - I am planning to buy another 1911 as a gift to myself. I love 1911's but I have to admit that they are not my SHTF weapon. I carry an XD-9 daily and my SHTF handgun is an M-9. My full size carry 45's are a HK USP and I recently bought an FNP 45 that I absolutely love. That said, I...

http://www.1911r1.com/ I thought this was cool.

Recently I became enchanted by a new Glock 21 .45. The 13+1 capacity in a .45 is a really nice selling point. However, I do not want to spend $600 on another handgun at the moment so I am considering offering a trade to a local gun dealer. I have a Chinese SKS paratrooper model that has less...

I was hanging around the range on an uncharacteristically slow day. I’d just put 250 rounds through a rental Glock 34 because I was thinking about purchasing one. My rationale was that 9mm ammo is cheaper to shoot than my 1911’s .45ACP. As I looked at the pistols the staff were carrying I...

I am a long time fan of the 1911 and have owned two Sp/Ar full sized pistols ( a lightweight "loaded" model and an M/C Operator). I have always had Sig's or Glock's as duty pistols but seem to keep coming back to 1911's and Hi-Powers. I am now in the civilian sector and had an opportunity to...

Smith & Wesson has put out this M&P 45 acp pistol. 10 rounds of 45 acp looks pretty good. Has anyone seen it or had the chance to fire off a few rounds? There is a write up in this months issue of guns and ammo. But the article only created more questions then it answered.
