    Which of these guns are more battle-proven: Colt 1911, CZ75 and BHP?

    This post came out of a discussion on the 'Beretta goes bye-bye' thread. Please consider the clones of these pistols also. The CZ75s due to the Iron Curtain are relatively new to the American public so all of our TFLers in Europe and Russia please chip in. This is a tough question but I am...

    Subcompact market set to boom! Who can catch Glock?

    Due to an enduring 10-round limit and also a growing preference for lighter, more compact guns this market is set to boom. Engineering advances in polymer technology and firing mechanism is making quality manufacture of such guns easier. Glock has taken the lead and its new 'Slimline' series is...

    10-round mag limit repealed!

    Err, wishful thinking on my part!:) Do you think this will ever happen and when? Somehow I suspect that the relevant parties have other priorities and gunowners have been quiet.

    Future 'new' US army standard issue pistol

    If a fresh military trial was to be held this year to select a new US army pistol which pistol do you think would win? Do you think the Beretta would be dethroned; and if the rules were changed to allow guns with no 2nd strike capability and external safety to enter do you think Glock would win...

    Glock pistols accuracy

    Hi All, I have been doing some reading/searching on firearm comparisons and I am amazed at the number of people saying Glocks are just as accurate, some say more accurate, than Sigs and Berettas. When did this transition take place? Fill me in!

    Cocked and locked 1911 style faster to the first shot than Glock 'Safe Action System'

    Cocked and locked carry 1911 style allowed us fast first shot with quick follow ups. There is all this talk however about the Glock being fast to the first shot and its quick trigger reset allowing fast follow-up shots. I find the 1911 however to be way faster both in first shot and follow-ups...

    When the dust settles which polymer pistol will dethrone Glock?

    Their is a mad rush on for manufacturers to push out polymer pistols. Some have been surprising flops e.g. SigPro and some have been surprising successes e.g. XD.

    Walther P99-the best?

    Hi Fellows, The P99 can be called the 'have it all' gun. Compact, sleek, snag-free, ambidextrous, light, high capacity, stylish, ergonomics, adjustable grips, etc. etc. At its inception there were however reliability issues with it. especially the .40 S&W. I figure these problems have been...
