Haliburton recently published job vacancies for truck drivers in Iraq and Im thinking of applying for the job. My question is to those who have 1st hand Iraq experience either military or civilian in nature, what can I expect from this specific job task as a truck driver. I know foreigners are...

Sigh, I just gave up my NORINCO 1911 for a HI-POWER, a FEG that is. Had the 1911 for the past eight months and finally decided I wanted a more compact fiream with more rounds but in a single action format and still can be cock and loaded. And I thought the FEG HP just fits the bill. Theres...

Hello; I have posted this in another forum hoping to receive valuable response so pls. bear with me. Thanks, ----------------- I was looking at a used FEG hi-power and noticed that the barrel was somekind like a 2 piece barrel designe. I can clearly see the line, which at first looked like a...

"Draw only when you intend to use it." 'Have been thinking in purely defensive state of mind that this doctrine is quite a disadvantage to the shooter. The words 'use it' can either mean shooting the firearm or drawing to deter a potential threat from someone. But in my mind not drawing your...

Looking to complement my 1911 govt. model and im very much interested to purchasing the FEG HI-POWER. Much has been said about FEGS, some swear by it and some swear against them. Being a 1911 nut I thought that another JMB masterpiece would still be right for me. But of course my 1911 is not...

Should we worry about Iran? YOu bet! But should the U.S. launch pre-emptive strikes against Iran? NO. Let the Israelis handle Iran. Its closer to them and tactically Israel is in better position to launch air strikes against Iran. If Iran comes to the reality of having its own nuclear...

After 5 months of almost daily carry my NORC/45acp govt blued model is beginning to show wear finish. Am thingking of a parkerized finish but I heard parkerized finish process requires heating the parts to almost amber w/c may affect the metallurgy of the pistol (is this correct?). I'd...

My NORC 45acp govt/5 inch model is now approaching the 4,000 round mark and I was wondering what spring LBS. should I replace it with. Whats the original pounds anyway? Original recoil spring is still okey but I thought a ready reserve spring would be wise to stock-up. Thanks.

I've noticed that my 230 hardball 45acp have suffered some little bullet seating (is it bullet seating or setback?). Now noticeably far shorter than the newly bought rounds. These old ammo have been cycled numerous of times out my 1911 and may have contributed to bullet setbacks. The question...

Recently me and my wife have been a witness on few occassions of my neighbor guy manhandling his wife. Not only me but other neighbors as well. I have been married for 7 years but have never physically hurt my wife in any way so this neighbor guy just sickens me. I'm 5'5 roughly just 145lbs...

Im planning on getting a glock 19 to augment my defense pistol line-up. But purchasing my first ever polymer firearm I need to know that this will be a sound decision for me. I have concerns though before I cough out the dough. 1. Can the glock 19 handle +P/+P+ with ease? 2. I heard that...

Probably gonna get a Taurus PT917 9mm pistol to complement my 1911/45Acp. Any proud owner or owners of this pistol who can share their experiences with this Taurus model will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If I can safely carry a glock with a round in the tube - I can also safely carry a 1911 with a round in the tube with the 'safety off.' :rolleyes: True or false? :) A loaded glock is no different with a loaded 1911 with the thumb safety off. Safeties however are located in different...

If you read HKs website particularly on their USP models it specifically say that their guns are engineered to last (or more?) than 20,000 rounds. With MRBS of 6,500 rounds in torture tests. How come its only HK who seem to state the probable life span on their products? Glock never mention...

Help! Can someone pls provide a video link on J. Miculeks revolver shooting Where he posted a record time in reloading and fastest shooting ever? Thanks in advance.

A 1911 has a lock breach system, so whats this? How important should the barrel lugs lock against the slide lugs? What happens if theres no positive locking lug engagment between barrel and slide lugs? Or if no lugs at all? Thanks in advance.

Recent meteor citing over Australia reminds us how small we are in the vastness of the Universe. Uncommonly, the recent meteor streaking over Australia was reportedly as big as an average joe's house thus creating a ball of fire like upon entry to the earth's atmosphere. What's disbelieving...

Hello Everyone; Need your practical and tactical thoughts on this. I occasionally (this means not everyday) carry a standard 1911/45acp with 2 spares of fully loaded magazines and a miniature folding Harley Davidson knife deep in my semi hi-cut boots. But lately, after dropping at a local...
