Having owned and sold two 1911s, I started getting the itch for a 1911 again. So, I went out and got a new Springfield GI, just the plain parkerized model. The safety was a little stiff, but the slide to frame fit seemed tight and it looked good. I took it to the range for a quick shoot with...

I just bought a nice S&W Model 12-2 today. Can anyone verify year of manufacture? Serial # D4781xx I believe it's from the early 70's, but not sure. Thanks!

I don't believe this new cartridge has been discussed here on TFL yet. What do you all think of it? Does it serve a valuable purpose? Or another soon-to-be-obsolete answer to a question no one asked? I kind of like it myself. If I had the money to spare, I'd like to get one to play with.

Lets kick off the re-opening of TFL with some of your newest handgun pics!

Which would you choose and why? TFL has been down for a while, so I guess we should start beating some old horses at the newly opened site! :)

I posted this at HKPRO too, but thought I'd ask here (while I still can)! So...will USP Tactical sights fit on a USP 45 Compact? Thanks!

I'm looking into putting a suppressor on my USP .45 Compact and would like to hear about any first hand experience you might have with this. Who makes quality threaded barrels? What about good quality, quiet suppressors for .45 ACP? Thanks.

She liked it! This was a friend from college that I've known for 6 or 7 years. We've had conversations in the past about gun issues and she's always talked about how much better it is in Canada because no one has guns etc. She finally agreed to go with me to the range even though she has...

What's your current nightstand gun? Lets see some pics if you have them. Here's my current nightstand gun: HK USP .45 Compact with newly installed night sights and a Hogue grip. :D

I have an opportunity to buy an Astra CUB .25 for around $150. It appears to be in excellent condition. Any opinions on this gun? Is that a good price? It looks like a really neat little pistol. It would be used for fun shooting, plinking.

I would like to add an AK-47 to my growing family of firearms. I'm not looking for the ultimate in quality or shootability. This gun would probably fire less than 100 rounds a year just for fun on occasional trips to the farm, etc. There are some very inexpensive Russian AK-47s out there...

I was going through a box of old papers from high school and I found a bunch of old silly poems I wrote about guns and pictues of guns I drew. Here are a couple of the poems: I like guns Guns are funs! You can have tons of funs with guns! Guns shoot bullets really fast Guns are funs, they're a...

Just saw an interview on Fox News with a MD gun shop owner who finally set straight a lot of the misinformation being reported. He seemed to give good info. It was a very refreshing change from the usual absolute garbage from the so called "experts" so far. Anyone else see this? What did you...

John Walsh just had a guy on his show who shot his washing machine 3 times with a .25 pistol. I didn't see the whole thing. I was flipping through channels and stopped when I saw bullet holes in a washing machine. The guy was telling the story about how he got mad and shot the washing...

I have a Kel-Tec P-11 that is rusting. I've tried coating it with oils and breakfree, but it continues to rust. I'm sending it to Kel-Tec for a slide/barrel swap. I am wondering how much more rust resistant the hard chrome finish is than the parkerized. I'd prefer to keep it all black, but...

Just curious, which backstrap do you use on your P99? Right now, I'm using the medium one (that came on the pistol).

I happened to be flipping through the Thesaurus just now (yes I'm bored) and came across the word "pistol". Here's what Webster's New World Thesaurus says: Pistol n. revolver, automatic, six-shooter, rod, cannon, six-gun, Saturday night special, iron, forty-five, thirty-eight, see also GUN...

I was taking a good look at a little NAA Mini .22 mag revolver at the range this afternoon. I've always liked these tiny guns, but have never shot one. What are they really like to shoot? They seem like they might try to pop right out of your hand! Especially the .22 Mag. I know the...

I took my new P99 to the range today and put 150 rounds through it. (Winchester white box 115 gr. FMJ) One thing I didn't like about it was: It ejected most of the cases straight back and only about 3 to 18 inches. Most of the empty cases were landing on my arms or head or landing on the gun...

I was looking at 1911s the other day and I was really starting to like the the Springfield Ultra Compact. It was very comfortable to hold with the rubber wraparound grip, and I liked how it looked. Then I noticed that there is a big hole under the barrel that you can see the recoil spring...
