So I switched to modern isosceles with straight thumbs instead of my weaver stance. Works best with my 1911s and getting used to it with glock. But I've noticed pretty much every pistol except the 1911 isn't designed for the straight thumbs grip (with the strong hand thumb held up high)...

I was using one of the six Metalform magazines that came with my Springfield Armory 1911 Professional. It was a magazine that came new with the pistol I received new in Feb 2006. While shooting the base plate of the magazine broke off and the spring flew out the bottom of my pistol then my...

Can someone post a picture of the Rogers/SureFire technique using a surefire flashlight with a handgun? I'm having trouble picturing how you can use your weak hand as support and use the flashlight. I've seen the technique done in a picture without a handgun. Thanks!

I'm used to carrying an HK P2000 or Glock (i.e. no safeties) so my normal draw and fire motion is: 1) Place weak hand mid torso 2) Grasp pistol grip with strong hand 3) clear pistol from holster 4) bring pistol to weak hand 5) get 2 handed grip on pistol 6) extend both arms to point...

According to FEAR the PC game this is an AT-14 but I know better! :)

Anyone know if it is safe to carry the HK P2000 v3 cocked and locked? I'm assuming its fine. I just shoot so much better without that heavy first double action. But there is no safety so not sure if that's safe. The one thing I don't like about the HK P2000 v3 is the decock lever. Why...

Everyone knows the CX4 and PX4. Did you know there's an RX4 coming out? Accepts M16 magazines. Looks very much like the Benelli M4 I was shooting today at the range.

Dark warehouse, out of ammo, right trigger finger shot off, behind a box. In front of me 2 of my buddies to the right of a door. John in front with his MP5 raised. Suddenly a spray of bullets shreds John. Dan's MP5 jams and is let go to hang uselessly on its shoulder strap. Instead the...

Went to range with some buddies to shoot the following, all brand new due to a recent gun show :) HK P2000 v3 9mm HK USP 45 cal HK P7 9mm Springfield Armory TRP Operator 1911 Springfield Armory MC Loaded 1911 Glock 19 Glock 17 XD 9mm Some comments. Accuracy was about the same for all the...

Trying to decide between P2000 or PX4 for my next 9mm compact carry gun. I usually carry a Glock 32 so looking for something with a similar profile and weight that is not a Glock 19. :D Anyone who has shot all three (PX4, P2000, Glock 19) have a comparison they'd like to share? Thanks in...

According to VA law it appears that I can open carry a firearm as long as it holds 20 or less rounds of ammunition. Does that mean I can open carry say a Glock 17 with 19 round magazines, and also open carry 2 additional 19 round magazines? Taking this further can I also carry in addition to...

Who here gets warm fuzzies at the range when you shoot better than the federal agent, local police, or sheriff in the lane next to you? Not sure if I should be proud or worried! ;) The following not meant to disrespect law enforcement. I was at the range one day out shooting an agent...

So I got into an accident where the other driver slammed into the side of my car while I was stopped. I thought I was going to die as I saw a squeeling car trying to stop as it came right at me. Fortunately I was able to accelate just enough so he hit the rear door instead of the driver door...

I have an AR-15 with milspec picatinny 1913 quad rails instead of the normal handguard. I noticed many places sell a harris bipod adaptor for "american" or "european" rails. Some specialized places sell them for picatinny but short of buying one of those expensive and hard to find picatinny...

The movie Assault on Precinct 13 yet another example that proves that a platoon of guys with the latest tactical gear, night vision, lasers, picatinny rails galore, bdus, assualt vests, supressors, SIG 550 assault rifles & M4s & M16s all in .223 (obviously an underpowered round), HK MP5s in 9mm...

Where (websites) can I get decorative grips for Kimber and SA 1911s? Although i like my effective combat grips... they are ugly! :)

So what's more effective against two legged predators? A .223cal 55gr +P Remington Trophy Bonded Bear Claw (hollow point) or military issue 5.56mm 62gr ball? Is the 5.56 ball that much better over body armor (I'm assuming the .223 +P can punch through body armor just as well), autoglass, bare...

Just last weekend a glock fanatic told me the secret of the glock trigger. In hindsight I probably should have figured it out but since I own other handguns (1911s mostly) it never occured to me. Basically after the first shot, keep the trigger down with the trigger finger instead of letting...

Sorry somewhat off topic but not sure where to post. Is the military channel on cable any good? I was thinking of subscribing to it. Thanks!
