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 "M" Machine gun -- A fully automatic firearm which rapidly fires multiple rifle-caliber shots with a single pull of the trigger. See also: submachine gun, automatic Made -- In casual range conversation, if someone admits they 'got made,' it means someone caught them carrying a concealed handgun. The stories about this can range from pretty funny to downright disastrous. Mag -- See magazine. Magazine -- An ammunition and storage device located within, or attached to, a firearm. It is sometimes erroneously called a clip. Calling a magazine a clip drives experienced shooters crazy. Magazine Disconnect -- Sometimes called a magazine safety. A mechanism which prevents the gun from being able to fire when the magazine is removed from the gun, even if there is still a round in the chamber. Magazine disconnects are required by law in some states. Magazine Loader -- A mechanical device designed to make it easier to fill magazines using less hand strength, without hurting one's fingertips or thumbs. Magazine Pouch -- Commonly shortened to mag pouch, it's a device to hold extra magazines which fastens to the shooter's belt. Magazine Safety -- See magazine disconnect. Magazine Well -- The opening in the bottom of the gun into which a box magazine feeds. On a semi-auto handgun, the magazine well is at the base of the grip; on a rifle, it is usually placed somewhere ahead of the trigger guard. Malfunction -- A misfeed or other failure to fire which can be cleared on the spot and without tools. Manual Safety -- A safety which the shooter must deliberately disengage in order to fire the gun. All manual safeties are also external safeties, but not all external safeties are manual safeties as well. Misfeed -- In semi-automatic firearms, a failure of the next round to completely enter the chamber. A misfeed can keep the gun from going into battery, which in turn may prevent the gun from firing. Misfeeds and failures to feed are closely related: a failure to feed is a round that never even leaves the top of the magazine, while a misfeed is a round that leaves the magazine but does not enter the chamber. Moon Clip -- A circular loading device for revolvers, similar to a speedloader in that it holds the ammunition together and facilitates quick loading. Unlike a speedloader, however, a moon clip is designed specifically for rimless cartridges (such as 9mm Luger or .45 ACP), and it becomes an integral part of the revolver while firing. Mouse Gun -- A gently derogatory name for any handgun which fires a small caliber. Muffs -- A type of hearing protection which completely covers both ears and is usually attached to a headband (sometimes to a neckband rather than a headband). Muffs, Electronic -- A type of hearing protection which completely covers both ears and is usually attached to a headband (sometimes to a neckband rather than a headband), and which includes internal electronics to amplify human voices while excluding all noises over a given decibel rating. Electronic muffs are a godsend to the serious student, because they allow her to hear instruction over the sound of gunfire on the range. Mushy -- Similar to creep, it denotes a trigger that has a squishy or uncertain feel, especially around the break point. Musket -- A long gun which has a completely smooth bore and is intended to fire a single projectile rather than a collection of shot. Muskets were common before rifles were invented, but now they are mostly collector's items. Muzzle -- The end of the barrel where the bullet comes out. Muzzle Brake -- A system of vents placed near the end of the firearm barrel to reduce recoil and muzzle rise. Muzzle Control -- Being aware of which direction your firearm is pointed at all times, and always keeping it pointed in a safe direction. See the article titled The Four Rules. Muzzle Loader -- A firearm design in which the ammunition and its propellant are loaded into the firearm from the front end. Sometimes called a black powder gun, after the type of propellant most commonly used. Some muzzle loaders are antiques, but there are many modern hunting firearms which are loaded in this manner. Muzzle Rise -- How much the muzzle end of the barrel lifts during the recoil process. | |

| “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 a very good class. It help me learn a lot of stuff, like safely. I feel good about this class.” |

| “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.” |
