Welcome to Guns Knowledge!
My name is Wade and I grew up in central North Carolina. As a kid, I had plastic guns and always loved “playing war” with the other kids in the neighborhood. As I grew a little older, I got my first Daisy BB gun from my grandfather and it was one of my most prized possessions. I spent much of my youth shooting at targets, tin cans and whatever else I could find to use as target practice. As I grew older I was given my first .22 semi-auto Marlin rifle that I still own 22 years later. I have since went on to own double-barrel shotguns, Glocks, Sig Sauers, Rugers, AR-15s, AK-47s, Smith and Wessons, and many other pistols, shotguns and rifles.
For the past 20 years, I have collected, modified, shot, talked about, dreamed of owning and just LOVED guns. This site was created out of that passion of guns and I hope you will find it useful…to satisfy your gun passions. Be sure to follow GunsKnowledge.com on YouTube.

Feature Gun of the Week: The Glock 17
The Glock 17 semi-auto pistol was developed by Austrian gun designer Gaston Glock. The Glock 17 is in caliber 9×19 and is one of the most reliable and durable guns in the world. This is why it has been adopted by many of the world’s top law enforcement agencies. The Glock 17 holds 17 rounds and is fairly accurate out of the box. The Glock 17 is Guns Knowledge Featured Gun of the Week because of its low cost, high magazine capacity, accuracy and Glock’s world renowned reliability and durability. I have owned a Glock 17 for the past 6 years, fed over 1,500 rounds of all types of ammo through it and have NEVER had a misfire. You can purchase a new Glock for around $500 or a nice used one for around $400. I highly recommend a Glock and I would and do trust it with my life.
Featured Most Reliable Gun: The AK 47
The AK47 is considered by most to be the most reliable gun ever produced. The AK47 would definitely be our gun of choice should I have to choose one weapon. The AK47 is very reliable, durable, accurate at short to medium ranges and has plenty of stopping power with the 7.62X39 bullet. Add a 75 round drum to this gun and you have a great gun with plenty of ammo as well. Best of all, AK47′s are cheap to buy and easy to maintain. You can get a AK for around $350 for cheaper Romanian models to more than $1000 for more expensive Norinco models; however, a good quality AK47 can be purchase for around $500. Considering all that you are getting with this gun, this is a great value.
