    How do YOU feel about Glocks?

    So I'm curious about people that HATE Glocks. I don't care if you love them or think they're great guns or even just prefer something else. If you answered "I HATE GLOCKS" above, please explain why below.

    XD: new Safety Lever & Overtravel Stop. WOW!

    Well, I recently picked up my 4th XD. After coming from my Kimber as my carry gun, the stock XD trigger was absolutely horrible. I actually thought there was a problem the first time I dry-fired the gun since the striker never released. Apparently, I had just pulled 3/4 of a mile rather than...

    Looking for a cheap 1911 for the range

    I've decided that I want to pick up another 1911. It will only be used for the range. I have a Kimber Compact Custom that does CC duty. Since this is only going to be a range gun (& possible nightstand gun occasionally), I don't want to go above $700. Right now, I'm looking at: Kimber...

    Just picked up my first Kimber

    Well after coming down with a virus for the past few days, I finally started to feel good today and decided to get out of the house. I checked out a couple of shops that I hadn't had a chance to visit yet and ran across some Kimbers at the last one. They had a BNIB Kimber Compact Custom (non...

    Para : size & reliability?

    I've been searching on here about the Para Hi-caps and I can't find anything about the actual size. They seem to be pretty reliable with most owners happy but I'm really wanting to know how much bigger they are. There's a lot of "bigger than single-stack" but no real numbers. Is there anyone...

    Thinking about a wheel gun

    Ok, I'm a semi-auto guy. That's all I've ever owned and all I've ever shot. I've always HATED revolvers.... until my ex-roommate picked up a Taurus .38. After looking at it (haven't fired it) I got REALLY interested. Where I work now, I can't carry anything larger than a Kel-tec, Bersa, or...

    Can't decide!!

    Ok, I unfortunately made the transition to the dark side and for some reason, I actually LIKE my Glock (is there any help for this, btw??? :D ). I bought a G26 since it fit what I was looking for the best but I'm having a hard time deciding what to get next. I'm looking to start competing in...

    making holsters and making money?

    For those of you with your ccw permit, what would you pay for a kydex concealment holster (iwb) that's custom made? To give you an idea, I've been making my own for the past several months and I wear them daily. Everything from a Subcompact XD9 to my 226 and (sold) 1911. I've never been made by...

    paper targets vs. plates...

    What do you feel is more conducive to learning and training, paper targets, or reactive plates? I've recently started shooting at a Police range and a "Tactical" course at another local range. For some reason, I felt like I learned more by shooting at the plates than simply punching holes in...

    Finally got my Sig!

    I fired my first Sig nearly a year and a half ago and fell in love. Unfortunately, that was right after I decided to go back to school and money disappeared. I went and visited a local pawn shop that I have a good relationship yesterday and was looking around. He had a CPO Sig 226 9mm w/ 4...

    p99 vs. sw99

    Buddy of mine is really interested in getting a p99. I remembered today that my local LEO shop just got a bunch of SW99s in from a dept. in SC. If I recally correctly, they're running around $260. needless to say, that's a serious difference in price. But, what's the difference between the...

    summer ccw.... recommendations?

    I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to get next. I've always used larger handguns and never paid much attention to the small stuff out there. I've recently picked up a XD40 Subcompact and I'm very happy with it but I'd like something a bit smaller (primarily thinner) for summer ccw. I've...
