    Fred Thompson: This election's Wesley Clark?

    It seems to me that Fred Thompson is relieving the Wesley Clark campaign from 4 years ago. They had lots people promoting them both to the public and to themselves. There was this sense prior to entering the race that they would be right at the top of the polls as soon as they entered. They...

    Sig Slide stop

    Ok I'm fairly new but I'm having a little issue with my CPO 229 TT 40/357. About 1/4 of the time the slide does not lock open after ejecting the last round. I use both new and used mag's with factory and reloaded ammo (from Georgia Arms.) So far haven't noticed if it happens more frequently...

    What happened to McCain?

    I was quite impressed with him in 2000. Now it seems like he can't do anything right. What do you think happened? Anyone, like me, sad to see this happen? B

    DAK vs DA/SA

    Hey all, After lots of looking and shooting I've settled on the P229 in 40. Now the question is DA/ SA or DAK. I'd love hear from those who has shot with the DAK trigger and what you thought of it. It reads good but that don't help in a gunfight. Thanks a bunch. B
