    CZ 75 vs Glock 17

    Thats right folks, this is happening. I am the OP and will lay some rules to keep things clean. 1) its only open to those who have experienced both pistols. 2) no fighting. 3) if you do not know what a cz 75 is, find one and shoot it BEFORE you post on this one. 4) there will be no talk of a...

    Modern role of the sixgun

    Hi all, I only have one sixgun (single action revolver) that i enjoy tremendously. Its not the most popular of its kind being a Sauer and Son 44 magnum but it works as a home defence gun from time to time. I would like to hear what others use their sixguns for and why.

    Handgun Neglect/Abuse

    Hi all, I have seen some nasty people neglect handguns. I have seen a Colt Python a few years ago that almost had me in tears. It had almost no blueing and the lockwork has been worked on by a butcher. I have seen a few pistols that were so dirty their actions were so tight the gun could...

    Full auto pistols

    Hi all, Cz, Glock, Beretta, HK are some of the brands that offer a full auto variant of their full size 9mm pistols. What possible use do they offer? A skilled shooter will be able to fire the semi version fast and accurately enough for any scenario where a pistol can be used. The wisdom is...

    Two favourites

    My favourite 9mm pistol in the world is without doubt the Fn High Power. I love these pistols and am a passionate collector/owner/shooter of these fine pistols. I carry one daily and depend on them for protection. Over the years and lots and lots of range time during practice and competition...

    Should the 38 Super not be more popular?

    I apologise if this has been asked before. I do not own any gun in 38 Super but think it should be more popular than what it is. Currently its used by some ipsc shooters and citizens of countries who do not allow civilian ownership of military calibres. While liking the 9mm cartridge very...

    Anyone Carry a High Power?

    Well since Constantine asked... I have been carrying a T Series for a long time now and was wondering how many of you carry this fine pistol or its clones on a regular basis. I find it defines a carry gun. Manual safety, slim profile, excellent pointability, well made, reliable, single action...

    If you could go back in time

    Hi guys, My first gun was a Star 30m. I had a look at many before i made my decision. These days it mostly sits in the safe because its really had a hard life. If i could go back in time knowing what i know now, i would have probably bought a Hi Power of some sort as my first. During my...

    Model 10 calibre conversion

    Hi all, I can get a Smith and Wesson model 10 in 38s&w for a very good price. I am in the mood for something exotic. I know that 38s&w ammo is extremely scarce and was wondering which calibre/s are an option if any at all. Thank you
