    Glock Sub-Compact Accuracy

    What sort of accuracy could or should be expected from a Glock sub-compact at 50 feet? Has anyone found aftermarket barrels to be more or less accurate than the stock barrels? I have the stock barrel sitting in the case, unfired. I figured I'd get just as much (or better) accuracy from my...

    Blocking Posts with Certain Key Words

    So, we've had this rash of dill-weeds (technical term there) trying to sell all manner of electronic crappery. I suppose it's not a new phenomenon but herein lies the question: Can not there be a filter to block posts that contain more than a couple key words? Like "ipod", "laptop", "nokia"...

    Interesting Glock Problem and Fix

    So, I took my G33 out shooting again yesterday. Obviously I was expecting the famous Glock reliability to continue on. Well, wasn't I surprised when nearly every round fired would leave the slide locked back. Weird eh? Same ammo I was shooting, utterly reliably, last time out. Same me shooting...

    Used Colt Special Combat Govt

    If you had to throw a number out there.... how much? 45acp, probably 85% condition. Does not appear to directly match the options on the website. It is all blued. I didn't get a great look, I figured the wizards on TFL could give me a number so I could figure out if I need a closer look.;):)

    Rules Enforcement Left to Mods

    I've seen several instances of rather inappropriate harshness directed by "veteran" members toward new members who violate forum rules. Most often rule 4. While I agree that improper punctuation, spelling and capitalization make for a difficult read I do not agree that it is or should be fellow...

    My First Range Report

    Since I just got my permit and gun, I thought I'd give my impressions for all the other "newbies" floating around. Also, this should give the venerable veterans a good chance to grill me.:D So, my weapon for the day is a Glock 33, because, well, it's all I got! Magazines: Oow baby those...

    Attachment Attacher Broken?

    I can't upload attachments. I'm guessing it had to do with the CP database being down today? Although, that's fixed and still no attachees.

    One Shot Stops Database

    Someone in another thread posted this link (I couldn't find the thread again or I'd give them kudos). I find the information to be very interesting and thought it would be fun to discuss. What are your thought on this data? http://www.handloads.com/misc/stoppingpower.asp?Caliber=0 I'll start...

    "Emergency" Button

    How about a method for immediately contacting at least one administrator to prevent the continued posting of nasty things like pornography. The "report this post" button seems to be dependent on an administrator being online and available to respond. (I understand the admins are not omnipresent...

    Gun Facts 5.0 Contradiction?

    The e-book from gunfacts.com I was reading through the book and noticed this apparent contradiction. Am I seeing this wrong? Page 10, under "Myth: Guns are not a good deterrent to crime" "Fact: Every day, 550 rapes, 1,100 murders, and 5,200 other violent crimes are prevented just by showing a...

    First "real" buck with a gun

    Can you believe it? I counted out that I have taken 22 deer in about 15 years of hunting, 17 of those with a gun, and I've never been able to get a buck. Of the six deer I've taken with a bow 3 of them were bucks. What are the odds? Anyway, I've broken the curse. I finally got one. It's only a 4...

    Range Report - Winchester XP3 3" Slugs

    We had a chance to test the aforementioned slugs in two guns this weekend: A Browning Gold and a Remington 1187, both with rifled barrels of course. Let me start by saying that no two guns will shoot the same slugs with the same accuracy or consistency so keep that in mind as you read our...

    Shooting Someone In The Back

    I've been reviewing the NY State Physical Force Law and it states the following: 35.30 Para 4 A private person acting on his or her own account may use physical force, other than deadly physical force, upon another person when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes such to be...

    Who Would You Choose?

    I was curious, if we REALLY had our choice and everyone who ran was available on election day, who would you have picked?

    Barrel Break-In

    Simple: Do you "break-in" your handgun barrels the way many people do their rifles. If so, what is your method? My rifle break-in method is to clean the barrel after each of the first 10 rounds and then after #15 and then #20.

    Carrier in the Waiting

    Well, it's official. I'm waiting to be approved. FINALLY scraped together all the necessary documentation and submitted my application. I told my wife and she gave me the raised eyebrow "That's nice dear." look so I thought I'd tell all you so I could feel like it mattered.;):D

    Sticky Seller Feedback Threads

    The feedback section could have sticky threads for those who are TFL members and sellers. (Such as WildAlaska, since he's the only one I can name right now;):rolleyes:)

    Are Glocks anti-Ergonomic?

    From another thread.... So I thought, well, lets see what the "consensus" is.... I'm betting it's NOT what this person thinks it will be.

    Glockourettes Syndrome

    I've noticed several sufferers of this formally unknown disease. Symptoms: Unexplainable defense of the Glock family of handguns, usually without regard for facts of the case, many times including involuntary accusations against those who make statements which can be construed as violating the...
