    In honor of the Christmas spirit....

    How many are getting a new gun (new to you at least) for Christmas? What type are you getting? I'm not getting an actual gun but $400 to add to my $800 so we all know where that will be going.

    What do you consider acceptable accuracy?

    Am curious as to what most of you consider acceptable accuracy for your semiauto. I realize that there are different uses for handguns but what is your general overall acceptable standard? My personal standard is to be able to place all shots within a 3x5 index card at 25 yards. While not tack...

    Fobus Holsters

    Recently got two of the Fobus holsters for my P220 and have to say that they are wonderful. One is a paddle and the other is a belt slide. They are incredibly light, totally resistant to whatever and comfortable to wear. I didn't really think that the weapon retention would really be that...

    Opinions on the .243

    This is going to be my first "real" hunting rifle to go alongside the Win 94, SKS and several .22s. What do those of you with experience thing of the .243 as a versatile caliber for plinking, varmiting and deer hunting? All advice, opinions, slams, etc are welcome. :)

    Hi Power 9mm vs .40

    I currently own the Hi Power in .40 and was wondering if there are many major differences between it and the 9mm. Such as recoil, accuracy, reliability. Anyone have any experience with either of these? My .40 has been great for 6 years and is my most natural shooting handgun. Love it...

    Winchester 94 in .45LC

    Bought me a new 94 Trails End last night in .45 LC. Loaded up 200 rounds of Hornady XTP 200gr. this morning then had some fun this afternoon. Good shooting and more than acceptable accuracy. It was a little stiff to begin with but loosened up after 50 rounds. I'm totally pleased with the...

    Why I didn't get the AR. What do I do now?

    In a previous topic I posted that yesterday I was going to get a new AR15. Well that didn't happen and here is why. Several ARs were just beautiful and I thought that they had my name on them. They were handled many times over by me but then my eyes saw the Ruger #1. It was the stainless...

    advice on a new AR-15?

    Will probably purchase a new AR-15 tomorrow at the gun show. I'm in no way an expert on this particular rifle and in fact consider myself a total novice. But I just WANT one and that has always been enough for me to purchase a gun. Do any of you have suggestions as to what particular brand or...

    New Magazine

    Was just wondering what some of your opinions were on creating a magazine dedicated 100% to concealed handguns, methods of carry, experiences etc. It would include no gun tests with gelatin, windshields etc. Rather it would have real data from police, military and civilian shootings. No...

    When did you start carrying and why?

    As we deal with lots of CCW issues here regarding the gun of choice, caliber, carry method etc. I was curious as to how many of us here at TFL actually carry, when did we start and was there any singular reason that caused us to carry. Also, if anyone has any special "nuggets of wisdom" on...

    VP70M information

    I've got an opportunity to purchase the H&K VP70M version of that particular pistol and was wondering how many had experience with it. The friend who is selling it doesn't like the heavy trigger pull. I noticed that this same sentiment was posted here in a topic last year. However, he...

    Comments on P232, Baby Browning, Walther PPK & P7

    I'm interested in getting a smaller gun as backup and these three are basically the ones that I have in mind. Have shot the P232 as well as the P7 and love them both although the P7 had a much better trigger and a more powerful cartridge. Never shot the PPK yet nor the Baby Browning. Anyone...

    S-2099

    Not sure if this is old news or hot off the press but I was informed today about the Senate Bill s-2099. This will require handgun registration on your IRS form as well as a $ 50.00 fee for each one. And if you have any that are not registered then you have up to one year to take care of...

    Do we really need the Hi Capacity Magazines?

    We've whipped the "stopping Power" and "Caliber vs. Caliber" debates pretty thouroughly here over time and I've come to the conclusion that we will never agree. But that's alright because we've got the right to disagree, agree, speak our mind or hold our peace. Thank God for the USA! What I'm...

    Alchemy handguns?

    Recenly saw an ad for Alchemy Arms and checked out their web site. Pretty interesting. Has anyone ever used this weapon or had any experience with it? They don't look that bad and have some nice features. ------------------ The best weapon for self defense is the one you have when the need...
