    Porting a bad idea for a scope on a 16" AR barrel?

    Gun: Colt AR-15 w/16" HBAR II Scope: ACOG TA11 Question: In considering having a muzzle brake added or having the barrel mag-na-ported, is there any potential hazards to the scope by either type of muzzle control device? I can't find any information on this and the concern was raised by a buddy...

    Clearing Malfunctions in an AR-15, how?

    Took my AR-15 to the range to work on getting it properly sighted in for me. It was a fine time. After getting the gun to a fairly refined point, I started blasting away in slow fire and quick (not really rapid, but not slow) to see how the gun performed at various distances as well as how I...

    Need cheaper source for KAHR P9 Mags

    Please forgive my ignorance. I know nothing of Kahr products and am trying to help a friend. I have done a couple of searches with little real luck. Plus, TFL doesn't allow searching on words as short as "P9" and so I decided to post my query. Help! I have a friend with a new Kahr P9 and...

    Electronic Hearing Protection, Some Health-Related Thoughts (long)

    "Electronic hearing protection" is a really cool product, but does it actually do anything to really provide you with better protection? I believe the answer is NO, but there are some great benefits to electronic muffs or even electronic plus (of which I know little about), but it does not...

    You don't win if you don't survive? - 35 years to die

    Assuming that the only way to win a life and death struggle is to remain alive as opposed to necessarily killing your enemy, here is the longest case I have seen where a person outlived his attacker but still lost. http://www.dallasnews.com/metro/stories/STORY.ea2e527417.b0.af.0.a4.277a9.html...

    Can anyone suggest a good IWB holster for a female? The gun to be carried is a Glock 26. In the checking I have done so far, when I do see holsters listed for women, they are all OWB.

    A Civil Servant Job Many Might Like to Have

    I was watching the Comedy Network and caught a program in the middle. The host, this bald-headed guy, was riding along in the back of a truck on night time varmit patrol that was spotlighting and shooting nutria along the canals somewhere in Louisiana. There was the driver, then there was a...

    (TX) Grand Prairie Robbery not Thwarted by Armed CHL Holder

    This was just on the evening news and I have not found a text link on the internet yet for it, although I am sure one is forthcoming. Apparently, two individuals have been on a small time crime spree to Waffle Houses and convenience stores in the areas south and west of Dallas. During one such...

    Who thought this form of carry was a good idea?

    Having an interest in NAA revolvers, I did some surfing to find some of the alternative means of carrying these little guns. I came across the following site after finding it referenced for a tuckable kydex holster. http://members.tripod.com/~Newt_Livesay/pistol.html Then I saw the neck...

    Well, "it is better than nothing" rant

    This is an issue that has bothered me for some time concerning mouse guns. Many of us have them and we are sometimes put in a position where the mouse gun becomes the primary defense weapon we carry. I think most of us would rather carry something larger and so the phrase of "it is better than...

    Home Owner Shot By Police, McKinney ,Texas

    This is one of those tragic stories where the wrong person got hurt due to an "accidental" discharge. Surprisingly, the local TV media has not painted this situation too badly, seeming to present information in a fair manner. Strangely, this article seems to express more concern about the...

    The Right Bullets for Shooting Clamation Figures

    In the thread on ceramic bullets, Jeff OTG said "Don't know about ceramic bullets, but my primary carry load uses a polymer bullet. See the load information at: http://www.rbcd.net/" I checked out the web site and found that RBCD has had a booth at Dallas shows and that I had stopped to watch...

    How do you find a CCW-Friendly Lawyer?

    With all the talk of potential legal nightmares should any of us be involved in a shooting incident, the question was raised by a friend about how to go about finding a lawyer who is CCW-friendly, preferably a permit holder themself, but certainly someone with an interest (not just monetarily)...

    Hydration systems for Thunder Ranch July Class

    As a Texas native, I figured I can handle the July heat during the defensive handgun class. It was suggested to me by the nice lady on the phone that I might consider a Camelbak or comparable hydration product. No details were given. I see Botach Tactical is now having a sale on Camelbak...

    Where to find ASP Red Guns cheap

    Does anyone have a good source for cheap ASP Red Guns, you know, those plastic red training guns? The cheapest I have seen is $38 + shipping for a Colt Government model. This is the specific one I want since it fits all my holsters. However, that amount of money seems outrageous for molded...
