A question came up in a now-closed thread: Is an unarmed 61 year old man a legitimate threat? One poster mentioned that Chuck Norris is in his 60's. That made me think of a dojo I trained at in Orlando. The head instructor is around 70, and has myasthenia gravis (sp?). There are times when...

Nevermind, found answer on 1911 forum... Mods delete at will.

Out of curiousity, do forum members every set up TFL get-togethers at gun shows?

Received my slightly used PM9 today, and took it out in the backyard to test it with 200 rds of WWB 115gr, and 20 rds of Federal HydraShok 147gr. Accuracy is great, and perceived recoil is surprisingly low, for such a small and lightweight pistol. However, the 7rd magazine failed to feed the...

Considering a Heritage .45 or a CBOB bobtail commander .45. Any DW owners out there who can offer comparisons on handling, reliability, and shootability? Thanks.

Bought a used BAR from an acquaintance. Tested it today. Didn't have a suitable area for an actual sight-in, too sloped, but had a safe area to shoot so we fired a few. Magnum magazine holds 3 rounds. Consistently, 1st round would fire, 2nd round would fail to feed, moving only partly from...

Feral dogs... This would NOT be a pleasant way to go. http://www.ajc.com/news/dogs-that-killed-uga-118158.html Apparently, in vicinity of the University of Georgia. From what the article says, the feral dog pack had previously fed by a former neighbor of the victims. Note: Feeding feral...

Please, can we avoid the flames? I have two reasons I consider rational for combining a reasonably high-cap pistol with a spare. 1) While muggers may often act solo, the trend in Atlanta (where I reside, though in the outskirts) and Orlando (where my parents reside, or in the outskirts) area...

Line-cutting plus armed idiot = dead bystander http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orl-bk-cutting-in-line-death-081609,0,5598271.story This time, somebody chose to start a fight over "cutting in line." Fisticuffs went almost instantly to a drawn handgun. The person killed was, of...

I went over to Home Depot today, to rent a carpet cleaner. While in the Tool Rental area, I overheard another customer talking with the desk clerk about a robbery that went down the previous week at their location. Apparently, some Army guys from Fort Bragg had gone there to rent a ladder...

I like my CZ's enough that they've virtually shoved my SIGs aside, and I've been a diehard SIG fan for 14 years. (My P220 is still up there with the CZ's, though.) First, bear in mind that this was not a full-size CZ-75B; this was my CZ75D PCR compact, since the full-size is at the shop...

I have lost count of the number of times I've seen the title quote used in an argument on TFL threads. It tends to be followed by such things as "... recoil won't matter;" or "... noise and flash won't matter." The thing is, while stress situations may cause you not to notice such factors, the...

It usually draws a good crowd, as well as representatives from the Orange County (FL) Sheriff's Department, and sometimes area fire departments and EMS. According to my father, tonight OCSD was represented by a deputy who had arrested the 16yo who was recently convicted of killing the off-duty...

The owner's manual that came with it is a generic 870 manual. However, takedown is both obvious and intuitive on the regular tube 870. With the Remington factory extended mag, it's not so obvious. There's a ring around the tube, near the support assembly between tube and barrel, but it...

Decided I wanted to get an apples to apples comparison between some of my handguns, including an LCR, so I opted to compare 10yd targets. Shot 100rds, from a Weaver stance, from each handgun in the comparison except the LCR (had been shooting with it prior to making the decision, and at that...

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/orl-bk-death-investigation-orange-072509,0,5201621.story Apparently this happened around midnight, in an area that isn't the best in Orlando, but also isn't the worst. According to the article, the shooter noticed two guys waiting in his...

Ran into some posts elsewhere that claimed a high failure rate of the Omega trigger system due to single vs dual bars. Can anybody substantiate or refute this? I love the way my CZ75 Omega shoots - quite frankly, it's my favorite high-cap pistol, but if there are any major reliability issues...

Does anybody know if the Nills symmetric grips for the CZ75B have a palm-swell contour? The website only shows side view, not rear. The last set of wood grips I ordered from another manufacturer turned out to be slimline. I like the swelled contours of the plastic grips that my CZ came with...
