How about that.... I've reached my 1,000th post! :D:D:D So, I think the best way to celebrate this personal web milestone... Is to say to all you wonderful TFLR's, Who have been my constant virtual companion... And source of education, and wonderment, and frustration, and...

I've read this phrase quite often at gunboards. Truth be said, how does one go about outshooting his gun? :confused:

I don't kow if you've noticed, but daily attendance is definitely on the decline... Last week, I'm pretty sure we averaged 400+ online members and guests. Now it's barely 300. :( Hope it's more of the shopping that's taking its toll. ;)

100 rounds fired thru it... Owner seems to dislike handguns after all... Comes with holster, the original casing, and some ammo. No more warranty for second owners. :( I've read here someplace about a frame failure in the metal Taurus pistol. Any truth to that? This is quite important as...

Lots of respect for this potent revolver cartridge. But that's just the point, the 357 magnum has traditionally been a revolver bullet. I know that IMI's Desert Eagle, and Coonan had successfully released pistols to fire this caliber, so I know it could be done. So my question: why isn't it a...

I'd like to know your opinion as to the best to 'mimic' a popular handgun design. We all know that "Imitation is the best form of flattery", but in some special circumstances, the clone is definitely the better buy. 1911's, now they should have a thread all their own, wouldn't you agree? ;)...

Hello all ;) I'd like to know how you measure your pistol's recoil spring "poundage" using common household materials and gadgets. Of course, check gun's "yes, it's safe" status ;) I use rolled cardboard and push the side of my pistol's slide against my bath scale. Now I know that that...

Hello all ;) There was this 1911 displayed at the last gunshow that really turned quite a few heads. Now, maybe for its lack of reputation, most of us just shied away, checking out the more renowned brands instead. It was an Imperial Defence Services "Ranger" 1911. Milspec variety...

Hi, all! :D There is this gun I saw at the on-going gunshow that reeks of BUL construction, what with the polymer frame, and loud engraving of the BUL trademark. Except that this one had milspec slide serrations (rear only), pin type front sight and dovetailed rear sight, no guide rod. Is...

Hi! I am posting this poll to determine how many TFLR's had their Glock units returned due to defective frames. I thought this is a good way to gauge the occurence of recalled units amongst ourselves, and check if the 1:20,000 ratio really is holding as claimed. Since we have 16,500+ members...

Hello all! :) Seems like Armscor Philippines has a new website, which showcases the Medallion 1911. Check this out: At around $730, this is the top of the line. There's also a camouflaged version: This one's milspec & pegged at $500. I guess they'll be competing against CD :eek:, since...

Hello all :) I've come across an Imbel 1911 38 super for sale at around $490. Here's the description the owner published, along with a couple of photos: Good buy? Thanks for all your comments ;)

It's me again ;) Graphite has been used as construction material for supersonic aircraft, formula 1 race cars, tennis rackets, golf shafts, Spaceships. It's reputation for toughness cannot be disputed. Question: Why haven't I heard of a graphite-framed gun? Polymer, yes. But why not...

Hi :D I'm very much interested in knowing the 5W's of this ever-present ammo term. In another thread, it was mentioned that it's only a marketing term. If so, why the heck is it being referred to by ammo makers? what does it really mean? More importantly, when does +P end and +P+ begin...

Hello all ;) I'd like to know if anybody's got info on what model/caliber guns are being used by the more popular competitors at the just-concluded World Shoot in South Africa. A link to the info would be nice. Thanks again :D

Hello all! I was just wondering if such a cartridge was made already. How do you think it would perform? A Mach 2 bullet, maybe? :eek: I imagined putting a 124 gr 9mm Talon slug in it, and the resulting wound would just be horrendous...

WOW!!! :eek: What a family!!! Glad to be a member!! To the TFL, MABUHAY!!! (LONG LIVE!!!!)

I saw this story in another forum. Thought I'd share it here.. :D http://www.adn.com/alaska/story/1618619p-1736211c.html Fisherman shoots, kills grizzly BEAR! BEAR! Man plugs lunging bruin with 9 mm pistol on Russian River. By Zaz Hollander Anchorage Daily News (Published: August 18...

Hello, everyone! ;) I would like to know your opinions on the three Kahr models. What would be the limitations, advantages of one type over the others in terms of shootability, concealment, availability of accessories, practicality and variety in daily carry? My immediate concern on the covert...

From Reel to REAL life : Deadly encounter http://www.philstar.com/philstar/News200207196301.htm Hi, all! :) I'd like to share with you an actual incident pitting six heavily armed robbers against one former Philippine action/singing star. The score: 2 robbers dead, and one critically...
