Looking for a 1911 under $1000 with front strap checkering. After surfing the web, I came up with these. Just curious which one is more popular here at TFL.

I'm hearing the newer Shield trigger reset is being utilized in the M&P line but I have not heard anything for the 45 or 45C. Have they put the newer trigger in the 45 and 45C yet? If not, do they plan on doing so? I ask because my next purchase will be a compact 45 and the 45C fits the bill...

I've always wanted a CZ P-01 but none of my LGS carries one. My biggest concern is the trigger reach. I hear it is a very long reach. I have shot the Sig P229 with the newer reduced reach trigger and regular grips and don't have an issue with them. The regular trigger on the Sig is a reach...

I can't seem to get this handgun out of my mind. I'm in the process of getting a Glock Gen4 G17 and a Glock Gen4 G26 but I keep thinking about that damn Sig M11-A1. Should I pass on the Glocks and get the Sig. I already have the Gen4 Glocks G19 and G34 and was gonna complete the series...

One measurement I found missing in the manufacturer's spec sheet for handguns is the Trigger Reach/Length of Pull (LOP). The distance from the face of the trigger to the rear of the grip. So, I thought maybe we could compile some data for those that are interested. I took out my calipers and...

So I was set on a TRP. My LGS has one in stock and will hold it for me for 10 days. I then find a BNIB Les Baer Custom Carry from a private owner. The pics in the ad look good and owner claims he has not shot it or even disassembled it. Now the Les Baer wil cost $200 more. I will be carrying...

I remember this pistol back in the 90's. It's a 12 round compact version of the 5906. I've always wanted a 3rd gen S&W but never saw any advantages over a Glock. Well since they discontinued them, I've been wanting one even more. My buddy has one and wants to get rid of it so I now have an...

All three gun manufacturers seems to have problems with their 9mm models. Glocks have the erratic ejections, S&W M&P 9mm have accuracy problems, and the Ruger SR9 has peening problems. So, if you had to pick one, which would you choose?

So, I've been reading that the factory 30 round mags are not as reliable as the factory 20 round mags. Is there any validity to this? Anyone have any hands on experience?

My friend is willing to trade either his Mosin Nagant M38 or Yugo M48 for my shotgun. I'm kinda leaning towards the Mosin M38 because they are harder to find and cheaper to shoot. The Yugo on the other hand is just feels better. The fit and finish is head and shoulders above the Mosin. To...

I'm looking for a bolt rifle in 308 with iron sights. Want to use it for hog hunting at close distances and deer for longer distances. Maybe some black bear as well. I would also need a drilled and tapped receiver for optics. I know CZ has some options but are a bit pricey. I don't wanna drop a...

I've been wanting a Mini 14 for awhile now. Right now I've got a Marlin 1894C in 357 that I really don't shoot much. I'm thinking about either selling it or trading it for one of the newer Mini's with the tapered barrel. I especially like the 16 inch NRA edition they had. Now, some will say...

I've got a S&W M&P9 Fullsize, S&W M&P9 Compact, and I got a Sig 1911 TacOps coming home in about a week. I decided on a Sreamlight TLR-1 over the Surefire X300 because it's half the price. I was gonna use this on my nightstand gun, S&W M&P9 Fullsize or Sig 1911 TacOps. But then, I started to...

I've got a RIA 1911A1 9mm GI model. I bought this as a base for a low drag high speed pistol but I haven't upgraded anything yet because I like it the way it is. The "GI" look just appeals to me. Well, with the Glock Gen4 G21 out, I know the Gen4 G34 isn't far behind. I've been waiting for the...

I've got a Sig P220 Super Match but shooting 45ACP gets too expensive and I don't reload. The gun just sits in the safe and my Glock G19 gets all the attention. I'm considering selling the Super Match to help fund the purchase of a Sig X-Five Tactical. I've always wanted a SAO 9mm. What do you...

I've got the rosewood grips for my P220 Super Match SAO but I want to change them out for the regular plastic grips. Problem is, Nobody seems to sell them. I've googled and googled and googled but could not find them for sale. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

In the market for a bolt action 22LR. I already own a Marlin 795 for plinking cans. Any thoughts or opinions?

Does anyone know where I can get pictures or video on swapping out the trigger on a SP-01 to a SAO trigger?

Looking at these two for my next purchase. Both feel good in my hands. Will use it for carry when I'm not carrying my Glock G19. Need your opinions please.

I know there is alot of talk about changing the mainspring on a CZ SP-01 for a lighter trigger. My concern is I don't want a mainspring that is too light. I shoot only factory loads. I hear 15# or 16# mainsprings are the way to go. Question is which one? How much of a difference between the two...
