    Full Power 10mm Personal Defense Ammo??

    Anyone know of any good full power 10mm hollow points for personal defense? Everything I see from the name brand "go to" ammo companies seems to be downloaded to .40 S+W ballistics. If I wanted that, I'd carry my Glock 23.

    The Meprolights on my Glock 23 are Getting Tired. Recommendations?

    I've had the same set of meprolight night sights on my Glock 23 for going on 11 years. They are very dim, and my old eyes don't help the situation either. It's definitely time to replace the sights. Is there a particular brand of night sights that is brighter than the others? I'd like to go...

    Modifying a Carry Weapon; Bad Idea?

    I have been told by more than one person that it is a bad idea to modify your EDC weapon, other than maybe adding night sights. The reasoning is that if you start "tricking out" your EDC weapon with things such as lighter trigger springs, aftermarket barrels, aftermarket grips, extended slide...

    Do I need to give the SP101 a second chance?

    Years ago (probably close to 3 decades ago) I acquired a brand new SP101 in a trade deal. I immediately noticed that the grip screw was too long and protruded threw the nut on the other side of the grip. It was enough that I could feel it while gripping the gun normally. At this point it was...

    Shot My New Tisas 1911A1 For The First Time

    I was looking for a "budget" 1911, and based on the cheap price, and really good reviews, I went with the Tisas 1911A1. I could not be happier with this gun! The three Fs (fit, finish, & function) are all excellent. Sometimes you expect to see some sloppy machining marks and such on a cheap...

    Got My First N Frame S&W Today

    So a couple of weeks after bringing home my new Ruger SRH in 454 Casull, I just acquired this S&W Model 629. It's my first N frame S&W. The trigger is smoother and lighter than My Ruger SRH trigger in both single and double action. It feels very well balanced and comfortable in the hand. I...

    Help with Glock 23 Holster

    I'm not sure if this post belongs here, or in the general handgun forum, but it pertains to a semi-auto, so i put it here. I just received this Azula OWB leather holster for my gen 4 Glock 23. My issue is the giant spare tire I have sticking out right over the top of my belt. I now realize...

    Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 Casull

    I recently purchased this Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull from the big auction site. It was manufactured in 2000, and is unfired! It's in pristine condition. Years ago I had the same gun but with a 9-1/2" barrel instead of the 7-1/2" barrel that this gun has. I'm guessing this one will be a...

    Just Bought a New HK45

    So I picked up my new HK45 from my dealer today. I can't believe how well this guns fits my hand! Better than ANY other auto-pistol I have ever held or shot. And I have shot A LOT of handguns. I am very impressed with this gun so far. I can't wait to see how it performs at the range. It...

    Need Help Finding Remington 700 Date Code

    Hello all, I just bought a used Remington 700 ADL with a factory laminated stock, in .270win. I suspect the rifle was manufactured mid to late 80s. I "googled" how to date the rifle from the date code, which is two or three letters on the left side of the barrel, right next the the receiver...

    Just Bought a New HK45

    Hello All, I just bought a new HK45 V1 from "THE online retailer". I was shocked to see that they have come down in price from just north of $1,000 to just north of "Glock pricing", so I had to have one. I assume this price drop coincided with the start of US manufacturing of these pistols. I...

    Handgun Forums?

    Hello, I am new to The Firing Line. I do not see specific forums for handguns, such as one for semi-auto handguns or one for revolvers. Am I missing something?
