I don't get to post here much anymore, but when I saw this, I knew that I needed to post pics here. I am not selling this item, nor am I advertising for the sale of this item, AND I have absolutely no affiliation or connection with the manufacturer/ seller. I am simply letting everyone who...

I make it a rule NEVER to believe what anyone at the gunshop counter tells me, BUT.... I was told today at a gunshop that Ruger was discontinuing the Mini-14 and Mini-30. I just said "oh yeah? huh... interesting" and thinking "BS" the whole time. But just now, I went to the Ruger website...

I'd appreciate it if this post could be taken at face value and answered appropriately where facts are present, with political and other opinions remaining where they belong (General Discussion Forum). Thanks. I was at my favorite shop, picking up Dad's Christmas present (Taurus 731 Ultralite)...

I know we have these from time to time, but they're always fun to read, and I need to VENT!!! I'm not even going to be secretive, because this guy is such a moron spewing misinformation that I almost told the owner of the shop about it on the way out the door. Around here, there's a fairly...

A buddy of mine was given a very vintage Chief's Special by his father, who is an LEO and had used it as his backup for years. Only thing though... it's a Square Butt J-frame :confused: From reading this forum, I realize that they do exist, but they seem to be a lot less common. Right now...

Having shipped quite a few handguns over the last several months, I have been feeling the squeeze of all those "imposed" charges we have to deal with... But when I shipped my slide to PT for night sight warranty work, it cost me $6!!! I sent it US Postal Service, priority mail, insured, and it...

As I've lamented several times, I'm searching in vain for a true "grab and go" pocket pistol in a "non-mouse" caliber... So on a whim, I make a hasty trade for a Kel-Tec P11... Nope... not it. I keep eying what I BELIEVE to be a S&W 642 in the shopkeeper's display case... It's a...

After annoying you good folks many times about a pocket .357 Magnum, I had decided that the Taurus Total Titanium 651 Protector would be the way to go. It's light, but not TOO light (17oz for the .38 only version, the only one I can find specs for) for those nasty .357 magnum rounds, and the...

I know there are a lot of these threads, and I looked at several of them to see if this post could fit in... didn't see it, so... There have been several reports on the news where police officials will show rifles, rifle cases, etc... and say "the sniper may have a rifle that looks like this...

I know about the bad rap PT gets, but I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt... They are the only company that manufactures different colored rear sights for the Walther P99. I keep reading that their product is much improved, that they supply and install the tubes for MMC, they...

I know this is only vaguely rifle related, and it will probably get moved or closed, but... A very good friend of mine has been talking to me about AR-15's for several months. Asking lots of questions, advice, etc... And I've been sending him links to ads here and on AR15.com regarding AR's...

I've been doing a lot of selling, trading, and buying lately. When my "buddy" at the gun shop left, I talked with the owner. I told him how Sam was taking care of me, what our arrangements were, and that, if he continued those arrangements, I would 1) buy NEW only from him, 2) buy USED only...

I'd first like to point out that, in well over 1500 posts, this is my first EVER in the revolver forum :D Anyway, I think I'm in the market for a pocket .357/.38, and I'd like to see who's the SMALLEST of them all. In concealed hammer, 5 shot, 2" snubbies, is there any size difference between...

TFL'ers have been very handy in helping to point out pros/cons/alternatives when I've had $$$ to spend on my hobby... So here I am again. 1 - I want a pistol that I NEVER leave home without. I want a pistol that I can put in my jeans pocket when I'm taking my wife out to dinner (that means...

There have been literally dozens of posts here on TFL about "best handgun for hiking in CA" or "best handgun in bear country" or one of my favorites "best handgun for alligator" :D But you get the point... lots of people wanting to gather opinions of what handgun would be most suited to protect...

As I'm sure happens with most of you, someone at work has once again approached me, "the expert" :rolleyes: with a firearm question. It seems that he has a Beretta Bobcat .22 pistol that his wife was using for PERSONAL DEFENSE while walking in the evenings. They live in a very rural area, so...

I am feeling the need for a new pistol, to fit some certain size/weight params for a winter carry pistol, and I'm drawing blanks.... What did I forget? I want a pistol that is light weight (< 28 oz unloaded) slim profile (< 1.2") compact slide length (>6", <7") compact height (<5", >4.5")...

I was reading Drjones post regarding his incident, and it reminded me of my favorite, and I noticed a few other folks starting to post their experiences. I figured, rather than tag onto Dr's, I'd start a specific thread for all those stories. Yeah, I know it's been done, but there's always new...

OK, I know this is a stretch, how we get from point A: to nationwide gun confiscation, but this still caught my attention: http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/mld/ledgerenquirer/news/politics/3708707.htm Fifth paragraph: Sure, he'll use it the right way, but what happens when he's out of office...

Several years ago, there were two dumb rednecks (in GA or AL) that were having some sort of driveway dispute. One of the rednecks (the skinny weasel type) set up his "cayamcorder" in the treeline, and staged a "cawar wreck" with the other redneck (the big fat nasty plumber's butt type). When...
