The discussion about the virtues of drop free mags vs. the philosophy that engendered magazine brakes comes up from time to time. I thought it might be interesting to see if we could get some numbers to go along with the discussion. PLEASE READ THE POLL QUESTION/OPTIONS CAREFULLY. SELECT ALL...

They live in a pretty nice part of a suburb of Dallas--this particular incident happened a mile or two from them. My dad has been to this restaurant. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33456552/ The most recent robbery took place Tuesday at a Waffle House on South Jupiter Road in Garland. Nearly...

One thing that I've wondered about over the years is what it takes to get a person to state that they recommend a particular handgun. I want this thread to be focused on particular handgun MODELS rather than brands as that is yet another can of worms. :D So here's the question. What would it...

A guy posted in General Discussion about some guns left to him and his sister. One of them is a BHP with a wooden case/shoulder stock. It would be nice if someone could chime in and discuss any legal issues he needs to address as a result...

A TFL member PMed me this story and asked me to post it for him for others to learn from. I don't have any further details other than what is below. Names have been changed at the TFL member's request. Abe decided to go visit Bob. During the visit the subject of guns came up. Bob said that he...

Ok, I confess. After shooting the IISHOT1000 earlier this year I didn't immediately clean the Ruger stainless P95DC that I used in the match. In fact, I stuck it in the safe and left it there. I confess again. I bought this pistol used and took it right to the match without ever shooting it...

It is accepted that deforming a spring (stretching or compressing it to the point that it loses its original shape) will ruin the spring. It reduces its lifetime and permanently weakens it. However, I just read an article in which a respected gun writer advised bending the legs on the Colt...

I had some questions about the utility of night sights after acquiring and installing a couple of sets at a very good price. My initial take was that they were useless in any situation if there was enough light to see the sights (you could simply use normal sights and get the same effect) and...

Is there any reason why these two products won't work together?

I just wondered how many magazines people typically own for an autopistol. Answer the numeric poll for the pistol you own the MOST magazines for and then answer the accompanying questions below that relate to the other guns you have.

Since this is such a popular topic and since the last thread was finally closed after 15 pages I figured I'd go ahead start another one right away to reduce the suspense. The last poll thread was supposed to be oriented towards Taurus owners and users, the selections on this poll offer options...

A local shop has a Dan Wesson revolver "kit" for sale @ $850--I figure he'll probably come down to $800. It includes: Original fitted Case Looks like it was set up to hold an 8" a 6" and maybe a 4" barrel besides the revolver & the other accessories. Dan Wesson 744 with original & Hogue soft...

The wife and I went to a gun show today to celebrate Heller. Came home with this thoroughly impractical handgun because my wife thought it was really cool. It is actually a pretty neat little pistol although I'm not sure if it will ever get any use past the "got to shoot it on principle" trip...

Nothing fancy, I've got an Imbel on Imbel parts gun that walks the point of impact on the target as the barrel heats. The hotter it gets, the farther down and to the right the bullets hit. The POI will move a foot or more. I'm guessing this is a barrel issue although to be perfectly sure I...
