    Replacement sights

    My PX4 sights are really starting to bug me, (I have to cover the target or I shoot low with a standard hold.) Can anyone recommend a replacement sight they have had good luck with. I'm looking for a three dot sight and or a night sight. Staying with fixed sights, just looking at different...

    Why revolvers are better

    The other day I picked up a Python with Pachmayr grips and instantly knew why I still like wheel guns. The double action revolver points better then any other handgun action. One handed, up close and personnel, draw and fire shooting nothing beats a good revolver. For those of us raised on...

    Be thankful for what we have

    Sitting in a seminar about conservation the speaker told us about his life in England. Specifically he mentioned the right to own a firearms (long arm.) You must belong to a club, (which is very upper class only,) or have enough land to hunt on. Basically unless you are a royal or major land...

    Glock Gen 4 grip question

    Got a chance to heft the Gen 4 G26 today. Is the grip smaller? Not talking about the backstrap replacements but the whole grip. Kinda like my older G27 better. Also tried out the G22 Gen 4 and it was a toss up over no backstrap or the medium one.

    Favorite carry loads for 40S&W and why

    Interested in hearing what people like to feed their 40S&W for SD. I know some prefer the 180 grain and other advocate lighter bullets such as the 165, 155 or even the 135 grain. What influenced your decision the most, ballistics, accuracy, reliability or ability to get back on target.

    G22 Gen 4 question

    Is there a difference with felt recoil on the Gen 4 Glocks. I was told the new recoil spring allows for quicker follow up shots. Is this a rumor or reality. How do you like your Gen 4 Glocks. I'm looking at 40 cal Glocks and wondering if a Gen 4 would give me any edge for competition shooting at...

    M&P 40 for US Military

    Military Times article out this week says the Army and Marine Corps are in the process of replacing the M9, (working up the requirements for a new pistol right now.) It also says that an early favorite to replace the M9 is the S&W M&P 40 cal. This is interesting!

    Beretta 92FS/M9 poll

    The Army Times is currently taking an opinion poll on the M9. I'd like to hear TFL members opinions on this pistol, (pistol not the cartridge.) I was in when we switched from the 1911 to the M9. I liked the M9 allot. I'm currently a M9 armorer. I think the service would be better off with a...

Three used ones for sale locally but the prices seem high, 686-2 $565.00 and the most expensive being a 686-6 for $585.00. Are these the going rates or do...

    Different look at caliber for SD

    I'm LEO and have been for many years. I started out with a GP100 issued with Blackhills 38spl +P. Next duty gun was a DAO P94, then a Glock 22, now issued and carrying P229 in 357 sig. I liked everyone of those firearms. I've owned and privately shot many more. My newest pet project is a PX4 9mm...

    Glock vs Sig vs S&W vs Ruger...

    I bought my first Chevy in 2004 and it's a lemon. Countless things have gone wrong with this truck. I'll never buy another one. That being said most of my buddies prefer GMC over Ford. I'm bringing this up because I have bashed GMC for the last six years based on one purchase, one lemon. How...

    J frame grip

    What are your preferences. I don't care for the boot grip on my 442. I just can't get a solid hold on the gun and good sight picture. I like the old model 36 round butt wood grip. The Hogue mono grip is good but it adds some size that I don't care for. The pach grip is also kinda big but offers...

    10mm pistols

    Got the itch and was looking for some opinions on full size 10mm pistols. Years ago I had G20 but I didn't like the grip and sold it. Looking at the G20slim grip and I like the looks of the 10mm witness but haven't found one to handle yet. Anyone with experience with either tell me what you...

    Fobus holster for LCP

    Anyone know if the Fobus keltec holster will fit a Ruger LCP, (paddle holster.) My local gun shop has two fobus (one says generation 2 Keltec,) holsters and the clerk told me they don't fit the LCP. Says the LCP is to fat. I looked on line and it seems it will fit. Thanks in advance.

    Glock extended mag problem

    My G33 has always been reliable. I recently purchased a G32 mag for it. Today at the range I had several failure to feed and or go into battery. Is this common for an extended mag? My 9 round mags didn't have any issues.
