Does anyone else here buy a handgun and then after a few days wish that they had bought a different handgun? It's almost like the satisfaction of the purchase has worn away after a few days of afterthought. For example, I recently bought a Sig 220, I like the gun very much. But then I started...

What is the significance of the letter "f" in the following gun model: HK USP/f .45 thanks

I posted a poll the other day between the Sig 220 and the HK USP .45. I really want to get a .45 because of it's versatility. It's a great personal/home defense round, competition round, etc. Now another gun has cought my eye after shooting it. It's the Springfield Mil Spec 1911. The 1911...

I'm torn between a Sig 220 and an HK USP .45. Which one should I get? I know what you'll already say Ala Dan. ;) I want votes to be based on overall service life, reliability, durability, gunsmithing/ maintenance ease, and most importantly, personal experience. I know that they are both so...

I overheard some guys talking at a gun show that HK may be sold and no longer deal w/ the civilian market. Is this true or just a VERY bad rumor?

Here's a hypothetical situation. Let's say that you are attacked by a gang of 3 or more muggers and you are carrying a 5 shot snub nose (probably loaded w/ .38 special +p or .357 mag). Would 5 rounds be comforting enough for you or effective enough to dismantle the situation? Now these...

Attention Glock 19 owners Alright, I'm going to try and conduct a poll about this whole Glock 19 phase 3 malfunction issue. If you want to read about it, here's a link://communities.prodigy.net/sportsrec/glock/gz-phase3.html Anyway, how many of you glock 19 owners have actually had a problem...

Alright, I know that I've posted several requests regarding which 9mm to buy. I have boiled down my decision to 2 handguns: the glock 17 and the cz-75b. I'd love to get them both, but my financial situation will only allow one. I primarily want to use this gun as a range gun and idpa. So I...

I too am STILL looking ( made a post about CZ-75's awhile back) for a CZ-75. I can't decide between the standard CZ-75B and the CZ-75BD. I know the only real difference between these 2 guns is the decocker on the BD and the safety (cocked and locked) on the B model. But my dilemma is this...

What are some good suggestions for a .45 semi-auto that could be used for a home defense weapon?

How hard is it to find spare parts for cz-75's? I know there are tons of places to find spare parts for glocks, but where can you find cz parts?

I'm looking for a good 9mm to take to the range and use as my "beater" range gun. In other words I want a durable gun that I can practice shooting ALOT with. I want it to be able to hold up to abuse, clean and repair easily, and find replacement parts if breakage should occur. I've been...

I'm in the market for a small .357 snubbie. I have shot a few that friends have but was looking for some more input from people on the forum. Currently I have my eyes on the Ruger Sp-101 3". Seems like a well made gun and fits my hands pretty well. I like the Rugers because they seem to be...

I'm a newcomer to the .45. I wanted to add a .45 to my collection, so I tried various guns and did LOTS of research and ended up getting the HK USP .45 full size. I was very happy w/ my purchase, the manufacturer's claims to realiability and durability of the product, and how it shot was very...

I do not proclaim to be a firearms or ammunition expert. I also don't believe everything that I read on the internet (especially w/ regard to newsgroups - lots of urban legends out there). With that as an introduction, I have been shooting for a little over a year now and have taken the basic...

Hey all. I've decided to finally get the CZ-75 to serve as my 9mm range handgun. I went to the range to purchase one and they were sold out!!! I talked to the guy there and he told me that all of the turkish contaract cz-75b's have been sold. I was bummed to say the least :( . So if i want...

I recenently took a friend of mine to the range to try out some compact 9mm handguns. He wants something small. I tried talking him into a full size, let him try one out, and he was still set on getting a compact semiauto (he doesn't want a revolver either. He already owns and shoots a...

I have been doing some serious thinking and research on full size 9mm handguns. As a matter of fact, I've probably been doing TOO much. My head is spinning w/ the pros and cons of various 9mm handguns that I've researched. Now, I don't know which one to get! I've narrowed my choice down...

I recently purchased a glock 19 and have been shooting the heck out of it :D . I'm really enjoying this gun alot. As a matter of fact, I'm enjoying it so much, I want another 9mm. Yeah, I know, I know, I COULD get a pistol in another caliber :rolleyes: . But, I think I would really like...

In your opinion (or experience), what is your favorite full size 9mm for combat/ personal defense uses? I personally like the cz-75b and the glock 17. They both seem to feed just about anything and are extremely rugged. The cz's accuracy is really amazing too. I'm not quite as good w/ the...
