Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between polymer and metal frame guns?

Polymer frames are lighter and more common in modern firearms, while metal frames are heavier but offer advantages like reduced recoil. The choice often comes down to personal preference and intended use.

Which lever-action rifle is recommended: Henry Big Boy, Marlin 1894, or Smith & Wesson 1854?

The Henry Big Boy is praised for its aesthetics, especially with brass finishes. The Marlin 1894 is noted for quality under Ruger ownership. The Smith & Wesson 1854 offers stainless steel and a Picatinny rail but is more expensive.

What are the pros and cons of 10mm ammunition?

10mm offers significant penetration and power, making a comeback in popularity. While it has more recoil than 9mm, it's manageable, especially in full-size pistols like the Glock 20. It's not recommended as a first firearm due to the recoil.

Is it advisable to carry more than one firearm for self-defense?

Carrying multiple firearms may be perceived negatively by a jury, suggesting overzealousness. The consensus is that one firearm with sufficient capacity should be adequate for most self-defense scenarios.

What are the best handguns for concealed carry?

The Springfield Hellcat Pro and Echelon are highly recommended for concealed carry due to their compact size, feature sets, and value. The Sig P365 series is also considered a good option.
