help me out. If I want some .45, 230 grain is ubiquitous. Is it so cut and dry in other cal's. I ask because I am going to borrow/rent a couple other guns this weekend, just to try out 9, .40, and 357 along side my .45. Interested primarily in how comfortable I am with each, so when and if I...

what do you think of these? The guys at the gunshop obviously were hypnotized by them, the each said exactly the same thing, word for word, about them. plus- if they work as advertised, and you are on target, they will not overpenetrate, and they will make a big hole. If you are off target, you...

One day I got tired of thinking what gun should I get, so I jumped up, went out the door, and hit the shops. Didn't find any of what I was really looking for, and ended up with a barely used P97DC. A few days later, I shot a Para P10, and I really liked it. Now a friend of a friend has a P12...

Just bought one, used, but it looked barely used. I was shooting really well for me, but after about 60 rounds of S&B 230 FMJ, started to experience feed failures, and twice the slide did not lock back in the last ~25 rnds. Problems occurred on both mags. I cleaned it when I got home, it was...

sell me. I'm gaining interest. What do like/dislike. I ignored this round earlier as an expensive niche round, but I'm seeing more about it. Do you think the cost is high because of manufacturing difficulty (so it will stay high) or lack of volume (and it may come down).

anyone know when the next one is?

I shot all 3 USP 45's yesterday (compact, full-size, tactical). I shot best with the standard, maybe because it was the last one. What about that front sight on the tactical? I know what it's for, but how do you use it? I was trying to imagine a normal post. But I really liked the USP set-up...

I live in TX, I am planning on getting my ccw liscense, but a few things bother me. Am I correct that these are public record, so anyone who wants to know will know I have a ccw liscense, and probably a firearm? Another paranoid hypothetical question, if, in the unlikely circumstance that I...

With only one or two pistols and some ammo, is a small fire safe adequate? I would think so, but am looking for some input. What do you guys do with extensive collections and/or reload equip do? Keep it all in a large firearm safe? Sprinkler system? Or what about those of you with stash guns...

leaning towards a usp45 purchase sometime after the holidays. haven't seen the tactical version. is it the same size/layout? how does the trigger compare? what are the differences? HK's website isn't as descriptive as I'd like in this regard. Thanks.

in a post about the kt p32, several people mentioned it's lack of second strike capability. What are you talking about? Thanks, Jim

I'll be heading out the door soon to check out some small handguns. Is SS mostly for looks, or does it offer significant improvement over blued or parkerized? And what is parkerized? Hey you! Stop rolling your eyes! I'm new! Thanks, Jim

I've been looking for my first personal handgun, and I'm leaning towards a concealable weapon as I live in a CCW state. A friend's dad has a S&W .380 he never uses, and may let go for ~$175-200. I've yet to see it/hold it/use it, but I'm looking for an intelligent opinion on the model. Thanks
