So the debate for that perfect caliber goes on. Check this story out. Two ex special forces soldiers shot and killed a robber. The fatal bullet was a .22. That settles it, I'm selling the .45 today. :) http://www.thestate.com/local/docs/moteldeath01.htm ------------------ The best weapon...

The .45 LC is one of my favorite calibers to shoot and the more I read, it might just turn into one of my favorite hunting cartridges. Okay, I'll have to be honest about why I began shooting the .45 LC. After reading countless westerns and seeing "The Duke" doing his thing to the bad guys, I...

Well the moment of truth is about to arrive. My wife says that I can get another handgun. Yippee! I've been looking at another SIG in 9mm and had a couple of questions. 1. Are there any real preferences among you all regarding the full size 9mm versus the compact? 2. If so, what are they...

There has been some discussion regarding the NAA mini revolvers in .22 short, LR and Magnum on the board and most of it seems fairly positive. I was just wanting some input as to the recoil in these weapons. No it's not for me :) it's for my wife. She is wanting one because it's "cute"...

I am relying on the collective intelligence, wisdom, knowledge and the general ability of everyone here to find things out to help me find out what particular model 92FS that I own. Here goes. It's is the 10th Anniversary addition with all of the wording (9mm parabellum, prieto beretta) etched...

No one is allowed to post inflamatory remarks on this thread. :) This is not a flame of Glocks in any way nor is it an offering at the Glock altar. But I've got to tell you why I love the Glocks. I think the Glock is ugly and looks like a piece of melted milk carton. The larger Glocks just...

What is the difference between the model 20 and the model 21 in .25 caliber? Thanks, sks ------------------ The best weapon for self defense is the one you have when the need arises!

There always seems to be someone out there with some kind of claim to having seen, shot or witnessed some incredible gun stuff. While some of it might be liget, some of it is pure, unadulterated pukey. Here is one of my favotires. Friend told me recently that her Dad picked up a gun in Europe...

Alright, before you all call me a drunk lunatic let me explain. Several years ago on a gun program I saw a WWII German gun with a curved barrel that could shoot around corners and yes it was equipped with mirrors. The were explaing some of the difficulties in developing this type of weapon...

Most all of us have done some buying, selling and trading over the years in regards to handguns. Some of those decisions have been great while others have become lamentable and not even discussed in civil company. The only sale that I really regret was getting rid of a Taurus PT92C. Nice...

The Hi-Power is my all time favorite handgun due to it's pointability, feel, comfort, accuracy and single action design. That being said, I also own Ruger, Beretta, SIG, and Glock. Have sold the only S&W that I owned. :D I'm not a 1911 nut although I like the gun. Don't own one, yet. I am...

Have read in some publications that John M. Browning commented on his Hi-Power saying that in this weapon he had corrected his mistakes in the 1911. What would those mistakes be? ------------------ The best weapon for self defense is the one you have when the need arises!

Of all the debates we have here on TFL in regards to what caliber is superior to any other and why, there seems to be a point that hasn't been touched on. Or if it has it's not mentioned with much frecuency as I don't recall it here in quite a while. Basically, most shootouts occur within...

Thought I'd share some of my "fun shooting" experience with you and see if anyone has some other suggestions. Because if you're like me, the stopping power debate isn't the only thing out there, I just LOVE TO SHOOT! Here are some of the things that I've found to be fun, entertaining and...

What is the major difference between the .45 Super and the .45 ACP? Also, can either one be used in a standard .45 ACP auto pistol or is the .45 Super made for a special gun?

While I'm a US citizen and CCW holder, my wife & I currently reside out of the US and in a country where there are no limits on magazine capacity. I can get the Glocks, H&Ks, Browning, Berettas, etc all day long and for a good price, (average $ 50). Some family members and friends have asked...

As a personal preference I like shooting the .45 Colt and was considering getting one of the new Taurus Titanium in that caliber. Would like to use the gun as fun as well as carry, (I do have CCW). Currently I've got the .45 in a 7½ inch revolver which isn't very conceleable at all. LOL...

I read an article last week stating that Sturm Ruger & Co. has asked that their products not be displayed nor sold at gun shows. Since that article I've been unable to come up with anything else. Anyone here heard anything about this?
