I'm sure this has come up from time to time, but in the hopes of helping others that live in restrictive states, perhaps my situation, and the advice offered in this thread, might serve as a good FAQ for others that come after me. Many of you here at TFL are aware I applied on October 4th of...

Well, THIS doesn't bode well for the new year. Appears in the NY Times today.

Ok, help a dumb ol' boy out, here. What does a 9x21 equate to, and why would I want one? Just saw this on Earl's site, and was curious. Also, does anyone know if the P99 comes in a totally OD finish on the slide, trigger, and backstrap? The only type I see is OD frame with black accents.

What ammunition do you consider to be the most accurate, for sighting purposes? Does it vary by caliber? I'm most interested in sighting in my new Trijicons on my P99 9mm, but will also need a recommendation for .45 also. TIA!

I'm selling my Hoyt bow, and would like to know where I could find some sort of 'blue book' reference, to be sure the price I ask is fair. The bow is approx. 7 years old, so the reference would need to look back at least that far. TIA!

Had such a great time with all you guys, I can't wait to do it again. It's not every day you're welcomed so warmly into an 'extended family'. Link to other pics below. I chose the best of the group. I'm sure we can all think of some clever captions for each shot! :D...

Sincere appreciation to Ray for coordinating, the Buckeye Gun gun club and its members for hosting, and the rest of you for attending. It was great meeting everyone, and I can't wait to do it again. Once I get the photos transferred, we'll get them posted up here, provided everyone gives...

Due to the sensitive nature of this question, I understand there might not be many responses, or even votes, but I'm curious, anyway. If you chose to vote, but not comment, I'm sure we all understand. A recent sidebar conversation I've been having with a fellow TFL'er living in CA got me to...

Uh, oh... there goes the PG rating of the board. :rolleyes: All kidding aside, I need your help on basic techniques regarding hand position. When shooting my P99 with the medium backstrap and two hands, I have trouble trying to figure out where my outer thumb should fall. I've experimented...

I was up in Springfield Mass, just yesterday, to an equipment auction that coincidentally happened to be right around the corner (literally) from the *&* Shooting Sports Academy. Not having enough willpower to resist, I strolled into the retail store, to peruse the current crop of offerings...

I've done a search, read, read some more, then read more yet again, and I'm still as confused as ever. I know that penetration is important, but a home defense scenario isn't the same as a battlefield, where FMJ is important to penetrate multiple layers of tactical gear. An assailant on the...

Can you good folks recommend a list of required accessories that a new handgun owner will need to care for his collection? I'm looking for suggestions such as: cleaning kit, range bag, and so on. Also, do you keep records to track things like how many rounds you put through each gun, what...

Can you good folks point a newbie to reputable online merchants for discounted supplies, guns and accessories? I've done a few searches, but the results are a bewildering array of information unrelated to what I need. Thanks!

Can someone point a newbie to best choices on eye and ear protection? Don't need anything electronic, just quality. TIA!

I'm tempted to buy a Walther P99, but I am concerned about some things I've read. The problem is that much of the rants and raves have not really been too recent, so I would like to ask about CURRENT views. My concerns are: 1) How to identify the GERMAN version with absolute certainty 2) What...

I am a newbie trying to finalize my decision for a HD weapon, that is also fun to shoot. Put over 200 rounds through my friend's Colt 1911, and also shot an HK, SIG, and Baretta 9mm. I've decided the 1911 .45ACP is right for me. I didn't care for the HK, because it just didn't seem to fit in...

Sorry to ask the 'usual questions', but can someone point me in the direction of some sort of newbie's buying guide? I'm looking for something that talks about the pros and cons of calibers, actions, brands, designs, idosyncracies of different makes, and other nuances that might seem like...
