Some people just don't understand the concept of "shall not be infringed." The latest from a city that can aptly be described as "120 miles left of Chicago" is that it's rules and regulations committee is considering a proposal to declare all of its properties to be weapons-free zones. According...

I've recently acquired a couple of old shotguns and a handgun that need refinishing. I'm converting the shotguns into HD shotguns, and plan to use the handgun as one of my main carry pieces. I've been researching firearms finishes (searched here and elsewhere) and have pretty much narrowed it...

Hi, all. Just wanted to show you a holster I made recently for my Ruger LCP. I usually carry in my right hip pocket, and have made a couple of wallet holsters in the past for my Kel-Tec P-32. The Ruger, however, is just a hair longer than the Kel-Tec and tended to show somewhat in some of my...

Here's another side of the ATF -- one we don't hear about often: Full story here: http://www.thestreet.com/story/10844674/1/atf-works-to-deter-firearm-thefts-in-ga.html

I'm getting ready to put a laser sight on my Taurus PT-145 Millennium Pro, which is my "serious social occasions" carry preference. My eyes just aren't what they used to be, and I've been impressed with the Crimson Trace lasers on my Kel-Tec PF-9 and Ruger LCP. I've noticed there are several...

I ran across a couple of ads for Centurion shotgun shells that combine a .65" round ball with 6 #1 buckshot pellets. At first, it looked like all the disadvantages of buckshot with all the disadvantages of a slug, but then I got to thinking: For home defense, the ball would provide the large...

I find myself again in the market for a deep concealment weapon with a bit more power than my Ruger LCP. After some disappointing experiences with a Kel-Tec PF-9, I've settled on a Walther PPS. Since the PPS comes in .40S&W with a 5-rd. magazine or 9mm with a 6-rd. magazine, I'm now wondering...

A new Army web site has been created to show military members, family members, and civilians the best practices for handling firearms. http://www.army.mil/-news/2010/07/14/42233-new-site-provides-best-safety-practices-for-privately-owned-weapons/ Haven't had time to check it out myself, but it...

:eek: No, seriously..... :confused: I just bought a Hoppes Bore Snake to clean my 9mm and .380 pistols. I've always used a rod with brass brush and patches over a jag tip. This bore snake thingy seems a little strange, but is supposed to work quickly. Well, upon opening the package, I can't...

Hi, all! I'm planning to make a pocket "wallet" style holster for my new LCP. I would like to attach some sort of "sticky" material to the outside so that it won't move around in my pocket. Does anyone know what DeSantis uses in their "Nemesis" type holsters? Also, I once had an Uncle Mike's...

Last weekend I traded my Kahr PM-45 for a Kel-Tec PF-9 and a Ruger LCP. Put Crimson Trace lasers on both of them, and took them to the range yesterday. I put 50 rds through the LCP, 40 rds of Winchester 95-gr flat point solids, and 10 rds of Cor-Bon DPX. The gun functioned perfectly with both...

Last weekend I traded my Kahr PM-45 for a Kel-Tec PF-9 and a Ruger LCP. Put Crimson Trace lasers on both of them, and took them to the range yesterday. I put 75 rds of 9mm 115-gr Remington and Federal FMJ thru the PF-9, plus 10 rds of Cor-Bon 115-gr DPX. The gun fed flawlessly, but I...

I would value my fellow TFLers' opinions on the best defensive load for a short-barreled (Kel-Tec PF-9) 9mm handgun. I'm looking for adequate penetration and expansion, through heavy clothing. Barrier penetration is not a major issue. A secondary factor is recoil with the lightweight PF-9. I'm...

Say what you want to about Taurus handguns, my PT-145 Millennium Pro has functioned perfectly for me since 2003. I just wish it had a conventional double-action trigger-pull. Well, somebody at Taurus must have been listening. This looks like a good candidate to upgrade my "serious social...

I had just about decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my Kel-Tec P-32 to a Ruger LCP, when I saw the new offering from S&W. It looked a bit thick, but according to their literature, is only .75" wide. Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer... :)

For almost a year, my wife and I have been building a couple of ARs. We finally got the new Douglas stainless barrels from Compass Lake Engineering, mounted on the CMMG uppers we sent them. Finally got them assembled yesterday afternoon, so today we took them to the range. I had some...

Hi, all. For some time now, I've had some of the following thoughts floating around in my head. Decided to see if I could put them together for an essay on concealed carry, that I will see if I can get published. I know it's a bit long, 'cause I've thrown in everything but the kitchen sink...

Interesting Orwellspeak on CBS 11 Dallas this evening. They ballyhooed a "Gun Safety" program to make Dallas citizens safer. OK, I could go along with that, but it turns out that the "Gun Safety" program is nothing more than a buyback program giving out $50 grocery coupons for each operational...
