If you own a reliable handgun and you seem to like it, for God's sake don't sell it or trade it merely because you're bored with it and don't shoot it much. Because you never know what you're going to get next time. Whether the next gun you get is New, Used, a Brand Name you trust, or a gun...

I'm thinking of selling my Glock 35 and getting a SA "Loaded" with the Parkerized finish. The G35 has been very good to me but I shot a nicely customized Springfield (Tussey) and what do you know, I really really miss shooting a 1911 type pistol. :o My Expectations: 1. Of course I dont'...

When I got hooked on shooting Glocks I learned about the "sling shot" method of chambering a round from the slide lock position. For me, thats the palm of the weak hand over the slide then pulling all the way back and releasing the slide to chamber the round. Ever since I've transitioned to...

This is probably one of the best threads I've read concerning the current state of affairs for the 1911. No B.S. and no punches pulled by people who seem to know what they are talking about. If you are new to 1911's read this and decide how best to step into the wonderful but sometimes...

I am by no means an "experienced shooter". But one thing I have come to believe is that if one is serious about being proficient with a defense gun it is ideal to stick with ONE SYSTEM. Whether its the 1911, DA/SA auto, Glock, H&K P7, Walther P99 or other. I understand the temptation to own...

What kind of trigger have you come to prefer for your primary defense gun? I've lumped certain guns (P7, CZ75B) for simplicity. Thanks for participating. edit: Walther P99's would be considered DA/SA Decock Only

Which handguns would you have no qualms recommending for the individual looking to buy a handgun for self defense and range use. Ease of Maintenance, Out of the Box Reliability, Durability, Good Customer Service, Ease of Finding Accesories, Magazines, and Parts are Paramount. This will be...

They would be the 1911's, BHP's, CZ-75B/97B's, Beretta 92FS's, S&W autos, and the like. I'm not talking about the merits of each of these designs. I respect all of them and believe they will remain some of the finest defense handguns of all time. I've owned a few of them as well. But I've...

I'd like to do some quick reviews of guns we at TFL had experience with. Meaning guns we've either owned or shot and critically (objectively) examined their strengths and weaknesses. So leave your biases about caliber, materials, size, aesthetics, country of origin at the door. For example...

Plenty of other threads "discuss" the positives and negatives of Glock pistols. This thread is entirely about whether you feel members of this forum are a little too emotional or unreasonable in the length, breadth, and energy they put into slamming Glock pistols. Is this just a reactionary...

Why did S&W stop making their only full size .45 auto? I understand perhaps LEO's prefer the lighter and more compact .45's. But its hard to believe that demand for the 4506 dwindled to the point where they would discontinue it? And yes, I do want one.:D

I just saw the new installment in the Hannibal series and I think this will go over better with the public than the over the top sequel "Hannibal" It wasn't as intriguing as "Silence of the Lambs" but I didn't expect this one to top it. (I saw Manhunter a long time ago and I enjoyed this one...

I've been thinking of getting a smallish 9mm that's easily concealable. The Glock 26 is at the top of the list because I really love my Glock 27. But I've been going to CZ's website lately and their CZ-75B Compact looks like a very trim package compared to the G26. I've also been thinking...

If as J.M. Browning claims the BHP is the refinement of his 1911 design why hasn't anyone made a BHP type pattern in .45 ACP? Of course the grip should be moderately sized (10 rounds) or even left as a single stack. If a company like Colt came out with something like this wouldn't this be a...

I can't decide between these two. I pretty much know all the positives and negatives of both designs since I own a Colt 1991A1 and used to own a Sig P229 and P220. I know both guns are pretty accurate for their respective caliber. I thought I'd give my friends at TFL a vote on which they'd...

First off I'd like to say I fully support Pres. Bush's war against Al Qaeda and his succesful expelling of the Taliban in Afghanistan. I also support his Administrations' push for a full out war against Saddam Hussein. Whether he is a clear and present danger to the United States I honestly...

From you hard drive if you don't have programs like Photo Shop or programs you use with digital cameras? For instance from your Your Documents or Your Pictures folder?

I live in California. Why do some people think its a good idea to register their handguns and long guns? I can think of the cons but what are the arguments for the pros?

With all due respect to Skunkabilly I personally don't care for the "reverse" 2 tone pistols that have gotten popular these days. :eek: IMO a proper 2 tone pistol should have a blued/parkerized/black slide with a stainless/ lt. gray frame. I think they look more classy and more business-like...
