    Taurus PT111 G2 vs. 24/7 G2 - Conceal Carry

    I recently got my CHL/CCW (whaterever you call it in your area). The only gun I own is a Fullsize S&W M&P 9, so that is what I have been carrying as often as I can in a Galco Triton IWB holsters. It is not too tough to carry now when I can wear sweaters and jackets, but I worry about...

    Bob Costas is a knucklehead

    If nothing else, maybe at least there aren't that many people watching my awful Dallas Cowboys versus the awful Philly Eagles... But during halftime Bob Costas praised Fox Sports' Jason Whitlock's idiotic anti-second amendment comments regarding the Jovan Belcher murder/suicide. Idiot!

    I Love Firearm Therapy!

    Without boring details of the week, this one has been rough so far at work... So I grabbed one of my kids who likes to shoot and headed to the closest gun range. Shot through 50 rds on my Full-size M&P 9mm and then decided to try some rental guns. Loved the S&W .40 Shield!!! My first time...

    Revolver Dummy Question .357 and .38spcl

    Can all .357 revolvers shoot .38 special? I recently shot a .357 GP100 at a gun range, but shot .38 special in it. Is that something that you can do in only certain .357 revolvers or can you do it in any .357? Thanks

    Newbie Mistake

    Made a newbie mistake today. I went to Walmart to buy ammo before going to the range since I now own my own gun and don't have to buy range ammo. Unfortunately, they did not have the 100 count 9mm Winchester box I wanted so I saw some Tulammo and RSW and thought, I guess I can try running that...

    2nd time at the range with my new M&P9

    I bought a "new to me" M&P9 last week at the Gun show. It had a XS Big Dot sights on it which gave me some problems at the range last week. At the time I was a little disappointed. After I got home, I looked it up on the computer and figured out the correct "Dot the I" method of using those...

    Got my first gun today!!!

    I got my first gun today. I picked up a used Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm at The Fort Worth Gun Show. From what I have been researching, I think I got a pretty good deal. I paid $399 for it with XS Big Dot sights. Not sure how I feel about the sights yet. I took it to the range and shot consistently...

    Getting a Virgina Non-Res Permit for Texas Concealed Carry?

    Anyone done this? I am not trying to get around learning laws (I've read the laws) or the Range part of the test (hell I love going to the range)... but thinking about the time commitment and the financial commitment, it sure is tempting to go with a Virginia Non-Resident Conceal Carry...

    Anyone looking for a S&W Shield in Dallas

    My loss is your gain. I was at Bachman Pawn and Gun in Dallas today and they had just got in a new Shield. Charging $419 cash price. Since I can't get my wife to sign off on the money right now... I figure I'll pass on the info. Maybe that means other local stores are getting some soon too...

    S&W 5906 9mm vs M&P .40

    I went to my LGS today to start preparing for my first gun purchase. I've recently gotten into shooting and have gone to several ranges locally 5 times in the last 2 months. Most of those times I have ended up shooting a FS M&P 9mm. I really like it. I've also shot a couple 1911s in .45, a...

    Gun Range Question

    I'm going to be travelling for work this summer and decided I would look up some of my possible destinations and what gun ranges they might have nearby. #1 - wow am I lucky to live in Texas. I noticed that in NY and Illinois, you have to have a license just to go to a range. At leas that is...

    Fort Worth Gun Show Question

    I'm a shooting newbie. When I found out the FW Gun Show was coming to town this weekend, I got real excited to go check it out. However, as I have been reading a few things today, my excitement is waning... The more I read, the more it sounds like it is a few guns (that I may or may not be...
