Stoeger M3000 Defense
The Stoeger M3000 has a few defense models that have 18.5 inch barrels. My question is if I get this gun, can I purchase a longer barrel for clays and hunting? I don't see why it can't, but there seems to be nothing online, plus you cannot purchase an 18.5 in barrel to my knowledge. -

MD Police Ammunition
I recently heard Massad Ayoob recommend that civilians use the same ammo for home defense as the local police use. Does anyone know what ammo the MD State Police and Anne Arundel County police use in their .40 S&W? Thanks. -

Introducing Puck Smith
I'm not going to go into a long spiel, I'm not that interesting. My firearms experience is limited. I trained on an M-16, but that was a few decades ago. So far in the past as to be just about meaningless. I have not handled any firearms since. I never felt the need. That has changed...- Puck Smith
