I am finding that as I get older, it is getting more and more difficult to see my sights on handguns. Specifically, I am shooting CZ75B and Browning Hi-Powers, mainly at the target range during daylight hours. I have come to the conclusion that I will be better served by fiber optic sights...

Some time ago, I asked your opinions on a FEG Hi-Power clone. Well, after a few range trips in the past couple weeks, I have fallen for this design in a way that only compares to my response to my CZ 75 guns, and now I realize where CZ got some of their inspiration for the 75. Why? Superior...

Been wanting a Hi-Power or clone for some time now, and see that Buds has some listed in 'like new' condition for what seems a reasonable price, around 350. I wondered what you all think of the gun in terms of workmanship and reliability, and whether that is a decent price for one in that...

First off, I love my CZ pistols. I only have one gripe about the CZ P-01 I have owned for about 4 years, and which hasn't had a malfunction in a few thousand rounds. It's the shape of the trigger. It's got a wicked hook in it, and I find it doesn't quite mesh with my finger the way I would...

Since I have a couple of AK-47 variants and keep a pretty good supply of ammo around, I'm starting to think a bolt-action rifle in this chambering might be a good addition to the collection. Who is making bolt actions in this caliber these days?

Hi all, Been looking at this AK variant for some time now, and finally got one in my hands at a LGS last weekend. I was quite impressed by the workmanship and attention to detail. I feel a powerful urge to purchase one of these. Any of you own one, and what do you all think of it so far?

Just saw this news about the new Remington RM380 being unveiled at the NRA Meetings in Nashville, and thought I would see what your reaction is to this considering the fallout of the R51 rollout disaster. It looks like a nice little gun, but I'm not sure if offers much that isn't already...

Hi all, Just saw a S&W 5903 in a local shop today in decent shape for $300. Only comes with 1 magazine, and shows a little holster wear, but seems to be a good deal. I used to carry a 3913 years ago, and always had considerable respect for the 3rd generation S&W semiautos. What do you all...

Hi all, My girlfriend and I were out yesterday and stopped by one of our favorite local gun shops. We were looking at a number of .22 handguns, and the shop had one of the Ruger SP101s in .22 in stock. We both think it would be a fun revolver for plinking and range use. She is quite petite, but...

Did anyone else catch the news about Smith and Wesson's new 986 and 929 9mm revolvers? Titanium cylinders with no need for moon clips, 7 and 8 round capacity respectively... definitely interesting designs. What do you all think?

Hi all, I've become very fond of my CZs in the past couple years, and they have even displaced my Sigs as my favorite pistols at the range. I was thinking about getting a CZ 97 to complete my lineup (I have a P-01, 75B, and an 83) , but then I took a look at the EEA Witness made by Tangfolio...

Just got this email from Bernie Sanders, I-VT, minutes ago... I think Bernie sees the complexity of the issue and recognizes the need for better mental health care and other measures instead of gun bans. ************ Dear Mr. Lagrow: Thank you for contacting me about the federal response to...

Hi, I spend most of my time over in the semiauto region of TFL, but I have been considering the purchase of a 9mm revolver for some time. I know both Charter Arms and Taurus make 9mm revolvers, but I would rather stay away from Taurus if possible. Any of you folks familiar with this, and...

I'm thinking about looking into a CZ 97 as a next purchase for a .45 range gun. I'm curious to know your experience with them. I'm not sure yet whether I want the BD (decocker model) or the straight 97. I actually am growing to like the cocked and locked capability of my 75B, after a long...

The P-11 looks like an interesting little pistol... wondering if any of you have one and what you think of it. Comparisons to the P3AT, Ruger LCP, PF-9, and others in this size class are welcome. I'm looking for something small that I could stick in my pocketses, preferably in 9mm but .380...

Bought a Lee Classic turret rig a couple weeks ago, and finally got it set up out in the shop over the past couple days. Got the 9x19 dies adjusted properly today... had too much flare on the brass for awhile, and too much crimp on the seating die, but got that worked out. Will have to pull a...

This afternoon after work I took the two CZs I picked up on Wednesday down to the range. I'm very impressed with both of them, and the P-01 is an amazing pistol with some of the best ergonomics I've ever seen in a gun. How did I end with two coming home with me that day? I had ordered the P-01...

Hi all, After acquiring a CZ-83 recently, I'm looking at other CZ models as I've found them to be a really well-made, solid line of products. I like all-metal guns with DA/SA actions and decockers, just my preference. The P-01 (in 9mm) has caught my eye particularly, and I'm curious to hear...

Hi all, Thinking about getting another .380 for the collection, and the CZ-83 has caught my attention. I know it's not the most compact one out there, but I like it's looks, 12+1 capacity, and all-metal construction. I know it's held in fairly high regard, but I would love to hear from some...

Just sent the final payment to Bud's on a Bersa Thunder .45UC This completes the Bersa lineup in the collection... .22, .380, 9mm, and .45 I really like the 9mm a great deal, and having the same platform in .45 is going to give new potential for .45 as a carry weapon. I've been very impressed...
