    Where can I find a Stoeger Cougar, or an alternative, in the DFW area?

    I need a little help finding a specific firearm, and I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me. Let me give you a little background... Not too long ago I was forced to sell all of my firearms to cover some medical bills. The sort of medical bills that come with a cancer diagnosis. To...

    If Hi-Point made a 22 pistol, would you carry it with a round in the chamber?

    Someone mentioned it in another thread, and I just had to know.

    Training affecting your everyday life?

    One of my supervisors, my wife, and myself had a long conversation over dinner a little over a week ago. During the course of our conversation my manager commented that I seemed a bit quirky. Not in a bad way, mind you, but that I didn't seem to do things the way that most people do. After...

    Morning fun

    Well, I had one interesting morning. It started off with my wife getting a call from work, asking if she would be willing to come in about 3 hours early. We'd left her car at work last night, so naturally I had to drag my lazy assets out of bed and drive her. I get home, putter around a...

    Yet another scenario.

    Ok, yet ANOTHER blooming scenario, this time taken from the news. You and your wife/girlfriend/significant other have just enjoyed some time together at a local park. It's dusk, the park is fairly well lit, but is not normally popular during this time of the week. You and your partner are in...

    My wife helped convert an anti

    I was so proud of my wife the other day. For those that don't know, up until recently my wife was a most vehement anti. She couldn't stand firearms, even for hunting. Her stated belief is that anyone should be capable of talking their way out of almost any situation, and failing that should...

    I have the mythical PX4!

    Well, I did it. I have a brand spanking new Beretta PX4 F-series 9mm in my possession. I wasn't 100 percent sure until I got it in my hand. But as soon as I did, I knew it had to be mine. This puppy is -sweet-. The first thing that I noticed was that all of the controls were readily accessible...

    Oh joy! PX4's in stock!

    I've got 3 dealers in my local area with the PX4 in stock. I do believe I'm going to be spending ENTIRELY too much money this weekend.

    What happened to the compacts?

    After getting some issues involving my duty weapon resolved, I've decided to take some of the cash I'd set aside to get something a tad smaller than my Baby Eagle for CCW. Don't get me wrong, I love my B.Eagle, but it's a long son of a buck. Holsters are almost non-existent (forgive me oh...

    Yet another idiotic question

    One of my coworkers picked up a Taurus PT-92 this weekend. Now he's looking for holsters. The dimensions look remarkably similar to the Beretta 92 Vertec. Does anyone know if a Vertec holster would work for the PT-92?

    .38 Super???

    Yesterday I had the opportunity to try a new (for me) caliber, the .38 Super. Some guy at the range wanted to play with my B.Eagle. As always, I'm happy to let someone convert themselves to the Way of the B.Eagle (though they're getting the cheapest ammo I have on hand). As I hand it to him, he...

    FN Hi-Power Dimensions

    A friend of mine has fallen in love with the FN HP-DA, and is planning on picking one up this weekend. Does anyone know if the dimensions are the same as the traditional Browning HP? Will holsters designed for the BHP work for the FN HP series?

    I'm going to miss my Baby Eagle. (Need Recommendations)

    It pains me to say this, and I do mean it REALLY pains me to say this, but I have to trade in my beloved Baby Eagle. Financial issues have required me to take a part time position as a Commissioned Security Officer to supplement my funds. The company that I'm working for requires at least a...

    One of those days...

    Have you ever had 'one of those days'? Mine occured this past Monday. Within the past few months, due to problems with my previous employer, I have left the security field. I went to work in the Customer Service department of a telecommunications equipment manufacturer, Uniden, here in Fort...

    Baby Eagle .40 and .45 review on Gunblast.com

    http://www.gunblast.com/RKCampbell_BabyDesertEagle.htm The author reviews the .40 and .45 versions of the Baby Eagle. All in all, it appears that he was impressed. He had two malfunctions in the 500 round test. One was caused by a limp wrist, the other when he hit the slide stop with his...

    Effectiveness of handheld stun guns

    Recently incidents in our neighborhood have caused my wife to develop a moderate, and reasonable, concern for her safety. However, my wife, also known as 'She who despises all firearms in any way, shape, or form' absolutely refuses to learn how to use a firearm. So we're looking into alternative...

    Handguns and range time...tax deductible?

    I'm firing off an e-mail to a tax pro as we speak, but I was curious as to what everyone else thought. I spent the majority of last year employed in the Security field. Over the course of the year I spent a fair chunk of change on a pair of duty weapons, ammunition, range time, holsters...

    Magazine rotation

    I was just wondering how often one should rotate the magazine. I was taught that you should keep the magazine loaded for a maximum of 30 days. At that time, the magazine should be unloaded and left alone for 30 days. I was taught that this would allow the spring to retain the proper tension. A...
