Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Glock 40 and a Glock in .40 S&W?

The term 'Glock 40' is often a misnomer; it typically refers to a Glock pistol chambered in the .40 S&W caliber, not a specific model number. Glock offers various models, such as the Glock 22 or 23, in .40 S&W.

Does a Slide Fire stock make an AR-15 a machine gun?

No, according to the ATF, a Slide Fire stock is a legal bump-fire device. Attaching one to a semi-automatic AR-15 does not legally convert it into a machine gun.

Is .22 LR a dangerous caliber for self-defense?

While .22 LR is a common caliber, its effectiveness for self-defense is often debated. Claims that it's the 'most dangerous' due to historical fatalities are generally considered statistically dubious and misleading.

What are the risks of overcharging a .45 ACP cartridge?

Overcharging a .45 ACP cartridge with excessive gunpowder is extremely dangerous. It can lead to dangerously high pressures, causing the firearm to rupture or explode, posing a severe risk of injury to the shooter.
