so I'll be leaving TFL. I haven't had as much time to hang around here as I used to but L&P was my favorite thing about this site and with that gone there's not much for me here now. I would encourage others to do the same because the moderator mindset that led to the closing of L&P is no...

I've been fooling with an idea for a while and finally have the prototype working. It took me almost a year with several delays to get it right but I have designed a laser sight for Glocks that is activated by pulling the trigger just slightly, about 1/32 of an inch to be exact. I don't want to...

We got back from dinner last night and the neighbors came over to tell us that an 8 year old girl about 5 doors down from my own was playing with a gun in her moms room and accidently shot herself in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. The details came slowly from the news (I was...

I hate to say it but I think Glock is way overdue for a redesign of their guns. I love Glocks as much as anyone but there are so many new ideas and features available in other new semiautos and Glock has remained almost the same as the day the first one fell out of the mold. In 20+ years on top...

My little brother is a civil war and cowboy action junkie and has had his heart set on a Henry rifle made by Cimmaron for a few years. I don't know anything about these guns but I was hoping someone could give me an idea of what makes them worth 1000+ dollars. Seems like a lot for a brass...

My first attempt at leatherworking in over 10 years. Actually I made 2 for my father in laws XD sub as well as a slick double mag holder right before this one and they all came out even better. I guess my patience was wearing thin by the time I got around to mine. The piece of leather I chose...

I brought this up in a road rage thread and thought it would fit tactics pretty well. What do you all think of the CCW badge? I've heard some negative comments about them only being carried by wanna be cops but they seem like a good idea in a lot of situations. Seems to me that if the first...

I saw one in a gun rag at wally world but was dragged away by an impatient girlfriend before I could read much about it. Said 20 rounds of 9mm in a 15 round mag size. Now, I'm sittin' here looking at 5 rounds double stacked by my keyboard and I don't know how they did it but combine that with a...

She always complains that I never give her flowers. With mothers day comming I decided to do something about that and have a little fun in the process. I started with the nicely expanded jackets of some .40 cal. Goldensabers fired into a row of water filled milk jugs. Then I took some 10mm...

I am constantly in the dog house for how much time I spend on this forum. I will sometimes do searches for hours and delve deep into the TFL past. There's just so much good stuff here. Funny as hell stuff. Heated arguments that play out as a well written drama for gun nuts. Tons of good quotes...

Does anyone know where I can find them? I have seen .40 cal. Lyman Devastator bullets and know they make a mold for them but all I can find are 9mm and .45 acp.

When I got my first handgun, a Beretta 92fs Inox, I never gave much thought to using it in self defense. I had a ball punching paper and killing beer bottles but I noticed that I always had a better chance of hitting where I aimed if I pulled the trigger almost to it's breaking point right...

I was watching the discovery channel and heard about a new rifle by Barret that can reach out to insane distances. They had a balistic calculator that they said can even compensate for the curvature of the earth. Why? How does shooting over a giant sphere affect the bullet path?

and a flying car would be nice too. I'm one of those guys that thinks this every time I write a check and am reminded that it's 2008 (!). I just had to buy a new computer and with tax refunds available I went all out. It's insane what this thing will do but it's even more insane what it won't do...

Just finished reading a locked thread about a photo someone came accross with many guns pointing at some guys head and all the comments about how stupid it was. This got me thinking, is there no room for exception here? This wasn't a bunch of drunk Bubba's sitting in the garage and playing dry...

There has been much talk lately of gun banning looming in the near future. I'd like to know how far some of you would let it go before you decided you would no longer comply either because you felt the enactors of such laws were enemies of the state or because you felt such laws interfered with...

The front sight is about to fall off my G23. Probably my fault for poking at it wondering how that little plastic stake could hold a sight on. 5 months later and the stake fell out so it's time to upgrade to some tritiums. A trip through the Midway catalog and ebay showed me that I can have...

The number of crazy people deciding they have nothing to loose and getting their hands on a gun, that is. In late April, a long time friend of mine was shot and killed outside a Target store along with one other victim by a mentally derranged man who had broke into his elderly neighbors home...

I've heard so many people say that primers are the only componet of ammo you can't make yourself but I still think it's possible. If you could never find them anywhere for whatever reason, what would you do? It woudn't be easy but reloaders are an unusually resourceful bunch so I'm sure someone...

I want to build one. There are so many out there that it's hard to do what hasn't already been done. We've seen so many race guns with optics and cool slide machining and porting and comps that look like they belong on a .50BMG rifle. I saw one that was made entirely of titanium with grooves cut...
