It seems like every handgun manual I have shows (what I consider to be) an improper way of racking the slide. -See exhibit A (from the Sig P229 owner's manual) Does anyone actually rack their slide like this? I can't think of any advantage to this. I do notice that a lot of actors will...

Hey guys, I've been interested in reloding for a while now. I'd like to get a setup that would allow me to reload .223, 9mm, 40SW, and .30 carbine. I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need to get started. Been looking at various single stage press kits but I really don't know what I...

Just thinking about this today as I sit at "work". There are so many accessories available for handguns and random stuff that I often find myself wanting... As with anything else these accessories and items can vary greatly in price - from cheap to super expensive. Some of them I need, others...

Is there a decent BUG out there for under $200? I'm not concerned with caliber or capacity but would like to find something reliable. Something I could easily conceal in a pocket or ankle holster would be ideal. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hornaday 223 REM 40 GR TAP URBAN Velocity of 3800 fps. and breaks up on drywall. In the demonstrations shown it blows to almost dust after passing through the second sheet of drywall. Also, the permanent cavity in ballistic gelatin is HUGE. I've been looking at this and it sounds like a...

Was just browsing gunbroker.com and came across a FN SCAR up for sale. I've never handled one myself but it is a sweet looking gun! The bid on this thing is nearly $9,000. Am I missing something? This is a semi-auto gun, right? Ooops, I lost the link... OK, well why are these things so...

I'm a total newb with my P7 but I was able to put 100rds thru it for the first time on Monday. Here are some of my initial thoughts... - I love this gun! The "squeeze cocker" is very cool and if there were any chicks at my range they would totally dig me for the "squeeze cocker" alone. - It...

Any clues on the date for this one? I cant seem to find a date code anywhere. This is my $499 "CDNN special" P7 with the plum slide... My first P7 so I'm not an expert, but isn't a date code usually present on the slide? What am I missing and how old is my gun? Thanks :)

I know that many gun owners view their firearm as simply a "TOOL" and will argue that there is no reason to dress up your hammer... So why would you do it to your gun? While I see the logic in this argument, I still tend to disagree. When I look at a gun with a great finish or a superb set of...

Can someone please convince me why I NEED a $75 gun belt. My holsters hold up just fine on a normal, sturdy, leather belt. I can understand the need if Im carrying a gun, pepper spray, handcuffs, walkie talkie, and shark repellant all at the same time... but for your average every day CCW'er...

Ok, so Im here at work and it's pretty slow due to the Holidays. My day has consisted of browsing the various online gun sites and forums.... BAD IDEA!! I found a thread on another forum that said CDNN is selling HK P7's with plum slides for $499. Supposedly these are in A+ Excellent...

I actually saw this poll on another website and thought it would be fun to see how the results came out here on TFL.... So the million dollar question is - How many guns do you own? P.S. I am certainly not trying to pry for sensitive information. That being said, if "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS"...

I came across a Fajen Thumbhole Stock for an M1 Carbine. I haven't bought it yet and have a few questions... I've looked online and cant seem to find any info on this type of stock :confused: It looks like the stock requires the removal of the front sights from the barrel??? What could...

This is a Sig P239 DAK that I purchased a few months ago. I noticed that the barrel seems to have a slight tilt to it, almost as if it's aimed at a downward angle. It shoots great but it often seems like I'm hitting lower than where I'm aiming. This may be due to the loooong trigger pull...

Hey guys, I've been tossing around the idea of picking up a laser / light combo for my AR and Glock. Any suggestions on a good product that would ideally be interchangable between both the AR-15 and my Glock 23?

So I finally got my Sig p239 to the range this weekend and I gotta say I'm still a bit unsure about the DAK trigger. Don't get me wrong, I love the gun but the trigger pull is much longer than Im used to. I'll be the first to admit that my experience w/ handguns is very limited. I've gotten...

I just picked up a Sig P239 a few weeks ago. I got a pretty good deal on it, so I spent some extra $$$ on refinishing the slide, etc. I also found a cheap pair of wood grips ($30) that I thought looked pretty sharp. I expected them to be a bit fatter than the factory grips... and they are...

I recently picked up a Sig P239. I got a great deal on it, so I decided to send it off for some custom work. I shipped the slide, controls, and internals off to Todd at CustomizedCreationz to add a little "personality" to it. I had the slide and controls nickel plated and the barrell and...

Well I finally broke down and purchased a gun safe. Nothing too fancy but will definately meet my needs. It is about 5 ft tall x 2 ft wide. Im not sure on the depth... Anyhow, it stores my long guns just fine but I would like to find a better way to store my handguns. It has two shelves...
