So over the weekend I went and did some shooting at my range (Shooter's World in Peoria, for any Phoenicians) and ran a few drills with a couple carry guns. As I was leaving I noticed that they had some pretty full shelves behind the gun counter so I asked the guy that brought me back my ID how...

So here's the question: If you were either one of the parents, and had a firearm, can you use it AFTER the woman begins walking across the street? Warning: a child is actually stabbed in the face in the video. If that's a problem for you, don't press 'play' and just read the article...

So a friend sent this link about the Laugo Arms Alien EXTREMELY LOW BORE AXIS semi-automatic pistol, and I thought I'd post it here for comments, and of course, for your viewing pleasure: https://youtu.be/Nn7Ofkm1bAE

Found this on another site, and wanted to discuss: "The 37-year old man who shot two armed robbers at a Virginia Beach 7-11 last month is now speaking out about having to act in self-defense and in defense of others. While he’s not revealing his name, he is going into great detail about what...

Got into a discussion with someone concerning military arms and whether they were originally military or were they converted from hunting weapons, and specifically, at what point was the M1 Garand made available to the public? i tried a couple searches here and Google and haven't found anything...

So yesterday I went to my Advanced Skills Defensive Handgun class again, but for the first time we learned the Basics of CAR training (Center Axis Relock). For anyone not familiar, Center Axis Relock is a defensive handgun method developed by the recently deceased Paul Castle, former LEO, which...

Okay, here's the deal: I was recently invited to attend a long-range precision rifle class by one of my defensive handgun/carbine instructors. Maximum range will be slightly over 1,000 yards. My rifle will probably be my Savage M110 chambered in .30-06 Springfield. I freely admit that while...

Like the title says, are handgun sights zeroed for any specific distance? I don't know why, as I've been shooting rifle/pistol/shotgun for over three decades now, but I just never really thought about whether handguns were zeroed to a specific distance. Last night I was looking for the...

Today I split my first playing card with a pistol. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10216012960734012&set=a.2076636832697.123218.1148269799&type=3 I never tried this trick before (never thought I was a good enough shot to do this before). But today at my club handgun advanced training...

Long story short: Tuesday evening last week I snapped the index gate on my RCBS Universal Hand Priming Tool (small thin black metal thing) while reloading some ammo for my upcoming club shoot next weekend. While looking everything over I found that the I had also partially stripped the threads...

Saw this story recently and I'm pretty sure I haven't seen anything here about it, so thought I'd put it up for discussion. Long story short, Vista Outdoors is the parent company for several well-known firearms/ammunition/accessory companies, such as Savage Arms, Stevens, Federal Premium...

I was just browsing around on YT and found this little video and thought it was interesting enough to bring here to TFL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6BfRc8s8ac I've been toying around with the idea of appendix carry for a little while now, trying to think through the pros and cons and...

So I was perusing some Yt videos about shooting the other day when I came across this: Meprolight Fiber-Tritium Illuminated Bullseye Circle-Dot Rear Sight. Video is :56 seconds long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCnFY5t-kzk I clicked on the link and was intrigued. So of course, I decided...

So I went to the gun show here in PHX yesterday (which was packed, btw) just to burn some time (in other words, I wasn't there specifically to buy anything). There was all the usual stuff to see and admire, but nothing jumped out at me except a very nice handmade knife that I decided not to...

Here's the deal: I found a Hornady LNL Auto-Charge Powder Scale and Dispenser for about $140 brand-new at my LGS today. I want to know if it is better for my purposes than using a standard powder measure with a case-activated powder drop. Link to the Auto-Charge...

So here's the deal: in the recent past, I've been hearing about how 9mm is just as effective a round as .357 magnum, at the range, from various Youtube 'experts,' as well as magazine articles, and even on this forum. And when I say 'effective,' I mean energy delivered to target and damage...

So I went to class today and ran nearly the same drill as I did last time, so I thought I'd post up the video here kinda side-by-side with the one I did a couple months ago. Now the drill today is slightly different than the one I did last time, and this one today was for time and it was a race...

This is a technical question concerning bump/slide fire systems. Isn't it true that to operate these systems you must essentially push forward on the forearm while simultaneously pulling back on the trigger to get it to function?

Okay, we'll try this again. And when you click on the link, apparently it sends you to a sign up page for DropBox. You don't have to sign up (it's free anyway, but just saying). Just click the 'x' in the upper right corner to close the sign up form, and watch the video. Sorry about the...

Took a training course yesterday morning and managed to take a short video of one of the cycles. Thought I'd post it for some constructive criticism. In this scenario there are four bad guys in various states of readiness: one has an AR, but it's pointed at the sky. One has a revolver...
