Above is letters A-Z, a brief list of firearms products: We are trying to get as many gun related products on one website to save you time, and help you locate just the item you are looking for.
Letter "G" Gas -- The superheated air and other stuff produced by burning powder. Gas pressure is what sends the bullet downrange. Gas Operated -- In this case, gas does not mean gasoline. It means the superheated air and other stuff created by burning powder. A gas-operated firearm is one which uses the energy from these superheated gases to work the action. Gauge -- The shotgun equivalent of caliber. Sort of. Rather than being a direct measurement of bore size, gauge indicates how many lead balls the same diameter as the gun's barrel would equal a pound. For this reason, a 20-gauge barrel is actually smaller in diameter than a 12-gauge barrel. Ghost-Ring Sight -- A type of aperture rear sight with a large opening and a thin rim which seems to disappear when the shooter looks through it. Sometimes installed on shotguns intended for home defense or police use. Grains -- A weight measurement used for bullets. The more grains, the heavier the bullet. Powder is also measured by grains, but this is generally of interest mostly to reloaders. There are 7000 grains to a pound. Green Ammunition -- Ammunition which contains no lead in any component. Grip -- The part of the handgun the shooter's hand wraps around. In a semi-automatic pistol, the grip contains the magazine inside the magazine well. The grip's muzzleward surface is called the front strap, while its rearward surface is called the backstrap. Its base is called the butt. Grip -- Usually a handgun term. See pistol grip for long gun usage. Grip -- The method by which the shooter holds the handgun. Grip Panels -- The interchangeable surfaces which are installed on the grip itself. Users change grip panels to improve the look or feel of the firearm, or to personalize it so that the gun is more suited to a different hand size. Some grip panels are chosen for function, while others are chosen for looks. Common grip-panel materials are wood, plastic, and rubber. Grip Safety -- A passive, external safety which is disengaged by obtaining a firing grip on the handgun. Most 1911-pattern pistols feature a grip safety. Group -- A gathering of holes in the target. Group size is measured center-to-center from the holes which are farthest apart. The smaller the group, the happier the shooter. Gunpowder -- See powder. | |

| “This class was very informational. I think before citizens are able to purchase a firearm they should be required to take this class. By being in this class I was able to learn my rights as a firearm owning citizen. The class was perfect, it included an instructional video and there was material available for hands on learning. The instructors were very involved and really cared that you were able to understand the materials covered in the classroom. The instructors used real life scenarios that helped class retain material.” |

| “This class is great for the understanding and confidence in using a handgun. The instruction of the class helps you determine when and what you need to do in case any situation arises. As far as things to do better for the class, I would say keep everything the same. All points were explained as needed and were given opportunity to ask and get questions answered.” |
