    18" Fore End, 20-22" Top Rail, 18" Barrel, and a 2" Comp with Iron Sights?

    I'm tired, I'm new to guns, and I'm thinking an exact opposite of what we see with 22" Shotgun Barrels and +8 NC Magazine Extensions. An 18" Barrel with a 2" comp wrapped up or enclosed by an 18" fore end with an attached 22 - 24" top rail. Front Iron Sight on the end of the rail (assuming it...

    MOA?

    I think I understand what MOA (Minutes Of Angle) means in general or...er...basically. But why do some red dot scopes say that the dot is 5MOA or 2.5MOA or whatever? I don't understand what it means, assuming that MOA is a measurement of angle (scope's angle) and distance (target's location)...

    Question on .308 vs .300 Recoil

    At the range today, I chatted with an local Sheriff who was doing some weapon preparedness training with a new recruit. I'm not sure what it is really called, but he had 3 or 4 rifles, and 3 or 4 handguns they were discussing and shooting. Anyway, after chatting with them for a bit, and...

    Used Price Range for a Nova?

    I know, believe me I know. There are a ton of Nova posts on this forum, and yes, I tried the search function up top. But someone, and I won't name them, with a ton of posts and a Gunzoo linked Nova in their signature pops up on my nova searches (I think) giving me discussions way outside the...

    XD 9 Tactical - Opinions/Thoughts?

    I'm just wondering what people's opinions are on the XD 9 Tactical. There's one for sale and the price seems reasonable ($475) for a used gun with a trigger upgrade, FO front and "match" rear sight upgrades, holster, grip tape, and 4 16rd magazines. The handgun has a small cosmetic blemish...

    Stupid Question

    Do Weaver-Style bases work on picatinny rails? Or do I need to specifically find a picatinny base for my picatinny rail? Thanks, Medicius

    22 Handgun for Practice

    I have three options in a local store, where the pricing would be fairly close to Bud's if you included the FFL fees. I think that I want the one with an external hammer to more closely match my CZ but I also tried shooting a friend's Ruger (looked like the 22/45 Lite, but without the gold...

    CZ 75 P07 DUTY - Sights Question

    My first handgun purchase (~2 weeks ago) was a CZ 75 P07 Duty. I got really lucky with my purchase as I really enjoy shooting it and I feel like I do fairly well with it (6" target @ 10 yards 15/15). Compared to the Glock I tried that bruised my right hand thumb knuckle. But I find it very...

    What makes a 1911 a 1911?

    I've read through some of the 1911 posts on this page, but while I understand why a 1911 has a chance to be a better gun, I don't understand what makes a 1911 a 1911. If I'm correct, a 1911 vs 2011 is single vs double stack mag related. But are handguns 1911's because they have external...

    What Is The Difference (DPMS and Bushmaster)

    Hey folks, Following a link from an older post I was directed to CTD's "Gearing Up for 3-Gun" article/post/blog entry. In that article, it stated that an inexpensive entry into 3-Gun would be to use a DPM Sportical or Oracle. When I clicked the link to their catalog for DPMS, they were out of...

    New to Shooting

    Hello all, I'm new to shooting (purchased and fired my first handgun last week) and firearms. I saw a placard for 3G a few weeks ago and started watching videos, searching sites, etc. I saw a link to this site on another 3G community site and checked it out. I have a lot of questions and am...
