    Louisville CCDW classes?

    Anyone have a recommendation for a Louisville CCDW class? I'm sure they're all similar, but some first hand experiences would be nice before I schedule.

    Surgeon 591 vs Surgeon RSR + Rail

    For those with custom action experience, would you get the Surgeon RSR action plus their rail, or spend $160 more and get the 591 with the integral 20MOA rail?

    GP100 cylinder turn with hammer forward?

    I was at the range today with my Dad's 4" GP100. I noticed that the cylinder turns clockwise (as viewed from the rear by the shooter) with the hammer forward. It will not rotate counterclockwise. With the hammer cocked, it's locked up correctly and will not rotate either direction. So...Is...

    Leupold business confusion

    So I'm in the market for a low-power scope. I always start my shopping with Leupold because, well, I don't know, just because. I know they just came out with the new Mark AR line with a 1.5-4x20 and a 3-9x40, in addition to their already popular Mark 2/4 line. Now the Mark AR 1.5-4 and the...

    New Pro-Gun Bill - HR17 by Bartlett (R-MD)

    It's in the House - looks like the critter wants to codify the 2nd amendment more clearly. (Yes, I know 2A isn't about self defense - it's a good step). http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.17:

    Balance with ACE Skeleton stock??

    What barrel length/profiles are people running with a ACE ARFX skeleton stock (the longer one)? With such a light backend, I'm curious what barrels work without making the rifle too front heavy. I like the balance to be just in front of the mag well FWIW.

    Lack-of-Kennedy Effect on Gun Legislation?

    Teddy Kennedy authored and sponsored lots and lots of anti-gun bills. Many of them got nowhere. Will anyone take his place now or will the wave of anti bills slow (of course not stop) without his vehement "commitment?" Here are just two - one very recent and one from the beginning of his...

    Nice O/U Field 12ga

    I have a Beretta S686 Essential that doesn't fit me. Rather than try to make it fit, I want to trade it. Beretta has discountinued their entry level o/u's. Do any of the other premium makers still have an entry level ($800-1100) field grade o/u? I'd love a Citori or Red Label - they're a...

    Props to TFL members

    I've noticed something here on TFL. You're generally not jerks when people ask the same question for the millionth time. "What's the best AR-15?" "What's the best 1911?" "What's the best concealed weapon?" "Revolver or Autoloader?" "Ruger or Smith?" ... Good on ya as a collective...

    POI/POA w/ 135gr .357 Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel

    Anyone know how the POA of the 135gr .357 Speer Gold Dot SB compares to 158gr .357? My SP101 shoots POA with the full power 158, I'm hoping it will be at least close with the GDSB. Any experiences?

    AR-15 iron sights/scope

    Does anyone have, or can you take, a picture of their AR looking down the barrel that shows a setup that allows the use of iron sights and a scope at the same time? Flip-up sights, carry handle, whatever... Follow up question: even if you don't have a picture - what hardware is needed...

    20" collapsible stock AR-15?

    Why does it seem like there are very few collapsible stock AR-15s with the 20" barrel. I think that's what I want to build - is there any reason I shouldn't? Are they rare because the point of the collapsible stock is overall shorter length and the longer barrel negates this? Inquiring minds...

    GP-100 front sight for free

    Anyone need a stock 6" GP-100 front sight? I just replaced mine with a red sight. It's yours for the price of shipping - beats throwing it away. It's just like this, but all black.

    Fitting Beretta 686

    I recently got a Beretta 686, but it just doesn't fit me. My Browning BPS is as near perfect as off-the-shelf guns can be, but I haven't shot the 686 much because I can't hit with it! When I shoulder it, the comb is alright, but the drop is messed up - the front bead is a good inch above the...

    I love my GP-100

    I've finally got my GP-100 sighted in, got the leading more or less cleaned out with Hoppe's Bore Gel, and had a fun range day. What a great gun! I know others can and do shoot much better, but I was proud of myself and my gun today. I thought a picture was in order. :D ;) :D This target...

    Cleaning GP-100 after shooting 38s

    I got my new 6" SS GP-100 Friday night and went out and shot first thing Saturday morning. I love it! But... I've heard that 38s leave a ring of gunk that you have to clean off. And I have a ring of something, but I'm not sure if that's what everyone is talking about or if I'm paranoid...
