    Been carrying this a lot more lately...

    Kahr E9 9mm. I can jam it in my front pocket or carry it IWB in the most gun-unfriendly clothes (such as a shirt that actually fits as it should). Sorry for you spandex wearers out in TFL land...I think that is a place this gun just won't conceal. hahaha!

    Good Leupold for a .300 Win Mag?

    I have a VX-II 3-9x40mm mounted to my .300 Win Mag Rem. 700 right now, but I want to put it on my 10/22. Which scope should I buy for the Remington to replace the old scope? I want a VX-III, but I would like to know what power setting and what reticle wouls be best for general purposes...

    163 gr. FMJ AP rounds in a .300 Win Mag?

    I have exactly 1,004 pulled 30-06 M2 AP bullets that I got from a friend. I would like to know if there is any 163 gr. load data out there for the .300 Win Mag. Also, I've never loaded for .300 WM and do not want to spend a lot of time searching for a good powder, as I don't have a lot of AP...

    .45 ACP WIN NT brass and load data?

    I'm running into more and more of this brass (annoying). It seems to be powered by a small pistol primer instead of the normal large pistol primer. From what I hear, WIN is going to do this with all .45 Auto loads, though I haven't verified it. When I get enough of this brass, I'm going to...

    Since when are these forums up again? Also, need to find HK USP .45 mags for sale.

    I haven't been back here since the Great Shutdown of 2003 and had no idea this was up again! It's great! Anyway, who sells HK USP .45 mags for a good price? With or without finger extensions is fine.

    Cz P-01?

    Did anyone else hear of this? Basically a decocker equipped, compact CZ75 built for the Czech National Police. It looks interesting and the testing it endured puts it up to par with GLOCK and HK. Of course, no one's going to subject their guns to that kind of torture, right?;) After reading...

    Shot my new Colt '91A1 today.

    I brought my new model Colt 1991 to the range today with 50 rounds of UMC 230 gr. (That's all the .45 ammo I had left in the safe.:() The gun has very little recoil and the trigger pull is very smooth, but a little on the heavy side for a 1911. I am not used to the 1911 trigger or the thinness...

    Picked up a new pistol. (pics)

    I bought a Colt 1991 A1 with the new Colt rollmark on the slide. It looks pretty good, IMO Yes, I know the safety is off in some of these pics, but the gun is unloaded.

    My GLOCK 33 hold 10 rounds???

    My factory 9-round G33 mags will easily accept 10 rounds and almost an 11th. What's the deal here? Both mags function perfectly. I don't load them past 9, knowing I can damage the springs and baseplate. I guess I better not put a +1 on then, right? Sheesh.

    As requested, here's my review of the SIG P229 in 357 and .40.

    Well, I finally took the P229 to the range, along with my AR-15 and Glock. I only brought 100 rounds for the SIG; one box of Speer Lawman 125 gr. in 357SIG and one box of Winchester WINClean 180 gr. in .40 S&W. Of the two rounds, the 357 had a heck of a lot more blast. At one point, the...

    Finally bought a SIG 229...

    Picked up a 229 with two factory barrels (a 357SIG barrel and a .40 S&W barrel) today at the local shop. It is used, but certainly not beat up. The only visible sign of use is the usual barrel wear on the top part inside the slide and on the hood. I didn't get a great deal by any means, but I...

    Any USP owners notice this?

    The "S" in "USP" looks like it was carved out by hand.....wonder what the story is on that?

    Why only a magnum rifle or 12-guage for bears?

    First of all, I'm not asking which gun works best with bears. There is already a thread going in the General Handguns forum. Instead, I ask you this question: Why not just get a G3/HK91, FAL, M14/M1A, etc. w/ some 20s for defense instead of a magnum rifle? I think 20+ rounds of .308 or a...

    This pistol shooting is getting expensive.

    In the past 3 and a half months, I've fired over 5,000 rounds of ammo, costing me nearly $1,000 ($993.57 to be exact). How much do you spend in 3 months?

    Direct-chamber loading a Beretta?

    I was reading the manual on my new 92FS Inox and came across something interesting. It says I can drop a round directly into the chamber and shut the slide on it to fire single shot (in case of a mag failure). I was under the impression that this could chip or break the extractor. Am I correct?

    HK follow-up

    Well, took my USP .45 to the range today. Fired 200 rounds of CCI Blazer 230g with not so much as a hiccup. I think the extremely dirty extractor and firing pin was the culprit. It is now off it's second 200 round probation period.;) Off topic: The guy next to me let me run a few rounds...

    USP .45 was running fine until today...

    Fired 821 rounds without a hiccup. Out of nowhere, a round stripped from the mag and went up the pipe without being grabbed by the extractor! Can someone explain what the &%#^$ happened? Any possible solutions?

    .45ACP WinClean brass OK?

    The flash hole in the Winchester WinClean brass is much bigger than that of the Remington and Federal brass I've used. Is this OK to reload? Search function is down, so I don't know if this has been asked many times before.:confused:

    Tried some .45 cal. 165 gr. Hydra-Shoks...

    Those things kick like a mule and the muzzle blast was LOUD (like hot .357 Mag loads). The people on both sides of me had to stop shooting until I finished unloading my 2 mags. Are they supposed to be like this? They were almost as fun as the comments I got from the other shooters... :D
