    Anyone shot the newer Taurus PT145?

    About the only thing I can find on it is one small but highly favorable article in Shooting Times Buyer's Guide 2001. The local shops don't have them (yet?) either. It looks to be a pretty nice CCW weapon from the write-up and fairly inexpensive to boot. 10+1 .45ACP is hard to argue with in...

    Savage 110 package gun - is it free floated?

    I'm just about ready to pick up one of these with a walnut stock and wanted to double check something. The catalog says these guns are pillar bedded and free-floated. Anyone have one of these? Is it really pillar bedded and free-floated in the walnut stock? Heard lots of great things about...

    OT-Help me find a good bass fishing forum...

    Trying to find a good forum setup in similar fashion to this one. I've used about every search engine I can think of but I only seem to find small-time forums with just a few members that rarely post. I'm looking for a large community like we have here on TFL... if it even exists. Regards...

    Which Rem 700 comes from the factory free-floated?

    Just curious as I've been wanting to get a 700 model but can't seem to decide which one. I know the ADL is not free-floated from the factory. Is there any 700 model that is? Thanks, Warm Bore

    Stupid question but it's driving me crazy...

    How do you pronounce Hogue? I just got a set of these for my BHP (best grips for it IMO) but I've never heard it pronounced and can't phathom walking around all day saying it the wrong way. Thanks, Warm Bore

    SA 17-Round BHP mags - break in procedure?

    Ok, Last time I bug you about my new BHP - promise. I just got my 2 17-round South African magazines for CDNN. Very fast service, BTW :) Anyway, one of the mags was fairly easy to load down to about the 15th round while the other was a bear after the 8th. I think the springs are pretty...

    BHP for carry - C&L ok like 1911?

    Hello again, Just wondering if any of you carry a BHP. If so do you carry it cocked & locked like your 1911's? I'm assuming this is the way you're supposed to carry it even though the Browning manual says not to. Thanks for the info, Warm Bore

    My new Browning Hi-Power is a piece of...

    ART!!!! How did I pass on this gun for so many years? It has been in my possession for less than an hour now and I'm just sitting here staring at it. The classic lines, the sleek finish, the words "Browning Arms Company" etched into the slide. Allow me to give pause while I wipe the drool...

    FEG BHP Clone - Is it *really* a clone?

    Hello all, I just came from the local shop. They had a FEG HP clone there for $199. I asked the guy at the counter if it was a indeed a clone. He said "as far as I know the parts are NOT interchangable". So is this guy right? I thought they were 100% clones. If he had said "yes" I would...

    CCW - Glock 30 or 36 - opinions needed?

    This may be like comparing apples to slightly bigger apples but I rented a Glock 30 today at the local range and was mildly surprised at the shootability of this little baddy. Accuracy was good, trigger was good, grip was a bit thick for my hands but still serviceable. Recoil was on par with...

    Springfield Armory - M1A - opinions needed - I think I'm in love.

    Hello all, Just handled my first M1A from Springfield Armory at my local shop. I think I'm in love. Been trying to decide on my first battle rifle (I'm mostly a pistol guy). I think this might be the one. Anyway, I need your opinions. They had three versions two full-size, one with wood...

    CZ-75 or 97 in single action?

    Hello all, I heard a rumor at the last gunshow that CZ was putting out either a 75 or 97 model in single action (a la BHP). Can anyone confirm this? Thanks, Warm Bore

    Taurus 608 stainless - opinions needed.

    Hey gang, Just handled my first Taurus today. It was the 608 stainless with 8" barrel. It's a monster. Looking it over, it seemed to be a quality piece. I'm thinking about picking up one of these in the 4 inch flavor. The 8-shot cylinder is way cool. So, what do you guys think about it...

    Which .357mag for wife?

    Hello all, I'm looking for a good .357 Magnum revolver for the wife to use as a home defense gun. I'm currently looking at three guns... the Taurus 608, Taurus 627 Tracker, and the Smith & Wesson 686 Plus. I personally like the Smith since it fits my hand like a glove but my wife prefers the...

    Saw a Hi-Point carbine in action today...

    And now I'm thinking about getting one. Couldn't believe how fast these two guys were going through ammo. Not a single hiccup, jam, or malf. in about 500 rounds. I didn't catch what brand of ammo they were using. It was outfitted with a compensator, sling, laser, and BSA 40mm Red-Dot scope...

    Next generation U.S. small arms - anyone know what's next?

    Hello all, I've been casually searching the net for information on "next generation" small arms. Can't seem to find much. Saw the H&K G11 caseless system. Looked interesting. Anyone know of anything else on the drawing boards? I'm particularly interested in next generation military issue...
