Would worry about that Rossi Ranch Hand maresleg in terms of capacity. You're only getting 5 or 6 in that thing. Though if you want a hicap beater that will get you through the night, go old school. Really old school. Suomi 9mm carbine http://www.centerfiresystems.com/images/products/detail/RIFLESUO...

Oh lookee-- A RIA 10mm 1911.

Kinda with AJMD on this one. If I can't hi-cap it, why don't I just buy a hipoint carbine and save myself half the cost? If cosmetics are still an issue, get that aftermarket stock and make it look like a Beretta and still be way under cost. I'd pair the system to a glock, but not a 1911 due to maga...

@7.62
What's with the buffer/stabilizer tube on the end of those pistol conversions? Is that a workaround for the SBR requirement?

Ahrg, you're killin' me. Looking to purchase an XDm 45compact as my next gun. Don't forget the Gear Up promo. 3 free mags and a pouch free on new gun registration. Here's the link. Great value.

Only problem with keltec products is that finding them is like finding unicorn droppings, though I will give them credit-- their SU16 a/b/ca series seems to be popping up more at reasonable prices. The sub2k is still laughably rare and barely affordable, especially in 9mm. You can find a PLR without...

In a 1911 it intrigues me. Wound cavity through ballistic gelatin suggest similar characteristics to a 9mm. It seems to perform better than 9mm on hog leg. Not sure I would trust it at range where it starts to lose all that velocity with no mass to back it up, but inside gun-fighting distances it lo...

Well, got the one I was looking for and sold the one i was done with. Would like something in .45, but am not actively looking... Or want a Rossi that badly.

EIGHT(8)+1 rounds of 11.5mm
TEN(10)+1 if i'm feeling saucy.

Sadly, just the other night, born out of exaustive research on what the next carry gun I'm about to buy will be.

Panzercat , That rig must weigh a ton with all that ammo on board. I find I rarely need more than what is in the chamber and magazine (5).

If you do, don't use that one. It use designed to be used with just the fingers with the goofy Costa-style, hyper-extended, C-clamp grip. Use this one instead: http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server4900/80086/products/332/images/1108/PTK_2__15950.1405413773.1280.1280.jpg?c=2 http://www.7-62precision.co...

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I'm actually thinking of adding a rail to the underside of the forearm and adding an angled foregrip to my Mossberg 464.

You'd think so - but it seems the Marlins contain some rare minerals that make them expen$ive as a new diamond ring. I found a guy locally who said he'd sell me his JM stamped 39A for $750. Another one said $600 for a 1940s model. It's true. It's been ages since I've seen them turn up on AZ backpag...

Probably would have gone with a mossberg. Henry's are too pretentious for my tastes :p Of course, you're all but guanrateed market value on a henry.

Never had a problem with .45acp. I'm good out to about almost 50m on my 1911, even with the sights set up for close range. It does make for a fatty double stack though, as I realized fondling the XDm I'm thinking of purchasing. I'm actually going to have to have to rent one to see how comfortable i ...

I'd take a 180 gr. .357 bullet going 1700 fps, or a 200 going 1600 any day over a .223. Much easier snap shooting a rifle with a quick hammer or lever rather than racking a round into semi auto; rifle or pistol. I'm not saying a .357 won't do the job as long as you can pre-plan the shot. Any calibe...

Extended trip. Poor eyesight. Weight restrictions. Targets ranging from critters to dangerous prey. The divergent requirements make this a pretty tough call. The moment we start talking bears, pigs and mountain lions, a .22LR is out. Heck, a pistol cal .357 doesn't exactly give me a warm fuzzy there...

On, paper, it looks really good - like little 5.56s. In real-world use, results are mixed. I know a guy who killed a bear with one shot from a 5.7, but in realistic use, sometimes it works well, sometimes not. I think it depends on the intended purpose of the weapon, too. For the purposes I carried...

Panzercat

You'll probably like the XDm. Most people shoot them well. I like the grip safety - it protects you from getting Glocked if something gets in the trigger guard during reholstering. And conveniently fits your KPOS system! ;) Actually my friend has been after me to get a Minotaur Comp-tac for a bit n...

So the road to carry a firearm on my person hasn't always been an easy one with my wife, but she's accepted the fact that I'm doing it for her and the kiddo's safety. Still, there's been a bit of resistance depending on where we go; say, the home depot less than five minutes away. "We're only g...

When was that article dated? FWIW, Remington didn't axe Marlin's employees, Marlin did that when the owners sold out! Marlin is the "badguy" here, props to Remington for trying to salvage something regarding the leverguns. I don't think it's as clear cut as you think it is . And wait... M...

Glocks never seem to do anything for me. It feels how it looks, that is to say plastic.
About the only reason I'd even think about one would be for 10mm, and even then I'd probably want a 1911 build or something else.
