For my final post at TFL.... I'd like to commemorate a short but enjoyable range session I had today. I loaded up 1 mag with ball ammo and made a few runs on steel poppers at realistic combat ranges. It was great. It didn't last that long, but nothing good lasts forever. You make the best...

Anyone got their hands on one yet? What's the scoop?

I just got back from a SWAT Mag assignment at Blackwater where a classmate was using a new Omega suppressor during a precision rifle course. He put up a couple of video clips that I shot for him: http://testsite.tidwellprinting.com/swr/omega1.asp The rifle/can combo performed very well out to...

And the winner is: Bruce Piatt, a full time LEO and frequent competitive shooter from New Jersey. He shot very impressively this whole week. Bruce is obviously a great shooter and I can also say that he is truly a "good guy." One of his best friends on the shooting circuit is last year's World...

Okay, here's some info from day one: Team TFL and SWAT are scheduled to shoot the stages together, with TFL going first. Our first stage consisted of two mover targets with a hostage in between. The shooter had to move laterally with the targets and score as manyhits as possible on the bad...

Obviously, this fancy-schmancy beast is not mine. But, this is the chance that you have been waiting for to really impress me. I need to know where I can find a replacement stock for one of these things. It appears to be a completely proprietary reciever with lots of extra metal that serves...

(yes, the same message was posted on Tactical Forums, but w/o the pic) The course was outstanding. I went in with minimal explosives experience (mostly during mis-spent youth or playing with EOD guys, no breaching) and almost no formal training (claymore fam course, etc). I am now confident...

I know there is a gunshow this weekend (17th&18th) in Knoxville, does anyone know of one in the Chattanooga or Nashville area this weekend? TIA

I don't have all the details yet, but actor John DiSanti has at least temporarily lost the use of and all feeling in his hand after a Shotgun accident. John is one of those actors whose name you may not recognize, but whose face you almost definitely would. More important to us, he is an ardent...

Help... I've come across what appears to be Mauser 7.65mm pistol from the first half of the century. This one has no discernable model number. Markings are as follows: Ser #: 63### left front of slide, also the last three of the ser# are on what appears to be a "barrel lug" and the bottom of...

Has anyone had any experience with, or exposure to, this round?

Hello Everyone.. I stopped by tonight because I was considering posting about a problme I am having, and I noticed the thread about the "dumb" FFL and I wondered if the mood of the responses would be the same in my situation. While I am not considering turning "G" on this guy, what he has done...

One of the stories on tonights local news was about a PBA boycott of The Boss' Madison Square Garden concerts this week because of his new song "American Skin", which is subtitled "41 Shots". The songs lyrics are related to the Diallo shooting which we discussed, ad naseum, here over the past...

Just got back from the 4th Annual Irlene Mandrell Celebrity Shoot. Looks like we raised over $25,000 this year for Wish Upon a Star. We had almost 20% more shooters this year as well. Markham Park in Sunrise Florida was a great Host site for the event and we are scheduled to go back next year...

Okay, so we (finally !?) got issued our news H&K USPs..... Good News: .40 S&W instead of 9mm No more Beretta's! Tritium sights Bad News: Double Action Only trigger 13 rounds instead of 15 Now, Of course, I would've been thrilled with Glock 22's, which would've had all the Good Points and...

Okay, thanks to the rolling hills on the property of the Old Fredericketown FOP Lodge #12, I finally found a place to go sight in my PIIK.... Over a month of dry-firing has been pretty damn frustrating without so much as a round down the barrel. I had some 6" circle targets, 40 rounds of...

Okay, I finally got access to some land to do some shooting on. I used to wonder how people could say "I bought a ***** a few weeks ago, but haven't shot it yet.".... I've had the compact for over a month! Anyway, the little thing is awesome. I bought a full size last year and have had a lot...

Glenn said: However, that doesn't mean that the professions can't do a little more self evaluation. The blue wall that we saw on Diallo or Louima is the same phenomena as the white wall in the medical malpractice cases. Show me one LEO who defended the Louima incident.. let alone enough LEOs...
