A good friend of mine has finally decided to apply for his Ohio CCW license. While he isn't a gun nut and doesn't currently own any handguns, he figured with the current political climate now was the time to get his license. While not new to handguns, its been a while since he's shot...

With apologies to AZRedHawk, but after reading his fine post regarding shooting with members, I started thinking about who in history I’d like to put a few down range with. Off the top of my head, I could think of three that I’d like to spend the day with at the range. First off, I’d...

as a fake that is....... Story just broke on foxnews.com http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,406101,00.html No surprises it was a fake, but it made for an interesting headline for a few days. Any one think the magical creature still lives? I'd love for there to be one, but until I see it...

There are a lot of threads going around about collecting guns vs shooting guns and I wondered what are some of the rare family or historical handguns that the members of the TFL have actually shot. I'll start. Sadly I don't own it, but a friend of mine has a WWII German Luger. The gun is in...

I think KY Jim's post is a good post on how the Taurus 1911s are performing. Here is a working poll. (Not trying to steal your thread Ky Jim, it's a great question and I'm curious how they are performing myself.)

Sadly, another mass shooting occurred this morning in Kentucky. (God bless all of those affected.) While pointless and clearly terrible for the community and families involved, I wonder how long it will take this to become fodder for McCain and Obama. As the elections kick into high gear...

It's expected that the Supreme Court will release their opinion on the DC gun ban case this week. I'm not sure why, but I feel pretty confident that they will affirm that the 2nd Amendment refers to the individual rights to keep and bear arms. What does everyone else think?

Just picked up a LCP yesterday and started looking at holsters last night. Can anyone recommend a good carry method? I looked and thought about buying a Desantis Nemisis pocket holster and would like an IWB holster as well. I'm thinking maybe the Bianchi Professional 100. Any one have...

As the title states, just picked up a Ruger LCP. A local shop actually had 10 of them in stock. I had not actually seen one in person before but was very impressed with the Ruger. Seems to feel more solidly built than the Kel-Tec. My ususal summer carry is a S&W Airweight but I'm...

A buddy of mine carries a Beretta Tomcat and at one time, Haugen Leather used to make a belt holster for it (and other mouse guns). Now this wasn't your typical OWB belt holster. This holster was made to be worn on your belt, uncovered and it gave the appearance of being a blackberry or cell...

Scenario: Kentucky Turkey season. I've hunted the last two weekends (4 days) from a blind bordering an open field. I've called in 3 hens within shooting range but Spring Turkey is bearded only. I've also called in 4 males but have not been able to convince them to wonder into the field...

Saw these on gunbroker. http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=96040081 Any takers?

I've got a Springfield TRP 1911 that came with a factory 2-piece full length guide rod. As of this afternoon, I've put 550 rounds down range with zero problems (awesome gun - more accurate than I am) expect the full length guide rod. What I've noticed is that when shooting, the guide rod...

I've seen a lot of posts lately noting all kinds of problems with various 1911's. High end guns and low end guns from all makers and no maker seems immune. Everyone has a different opinion on what gun to buy and what gun to avoid so I thought I'd conduct an unscientific poll about the % of...

My father has an Iver Johnson Target Sealed 8 and I trying to find the production date for it. It was given to him around 1955 and it was old then. Gun is in good condition and is certainly still a shooter. Anyone have an idea where to look for production date? Serial is N404XX. THanks.

Posted this in another post but thought I'd open a discussion on it.... I live in Kentucky and thankfully it is not against the law to ignore the no CCW signs (unless its a government building) at your local Wally Worlds and such. For example, if caught with a CCW at Wally World, they have...

I just bought a Springfield TRP and could not be happier with it. It's a great shooting gun. Wish I could shoot it more but as every one knows, ammo prices are freakin' nuts. With that said, I've thought about buying a 22lr. conversion kit so I could shoot it more. Granted, a .22 won't...

I'm plotting my next gun purchase and after just buying a Springfield TRP 1911, I want to go small and am looking for a pocket/mouse gun. I'll note that my usual carry is S&W snubnose 38. What I'm looking for is a model in either .32acp or .380 caliber. I don't plan on using this as my...

I've got a Glock 22 that the finish on the slide has seen better days. It was an LEO gun and it's got a lot of holster wear. It's great gun and a limited CCW piece. Any one have any experience with a duracoat finish or any other type of refinishing options? Any suggestions or thoughts...

Just bought my Springfield TRP and it's becoming my daily carry piece. I've got a Galco Fletch that's my normal OWB carry holster for all of my carry pieces, but I'm thinking about a SOB holster for the 1911. Can any one recommend a good small of the back holster? Any good or bad...
