This weekend, I picked up the P2000 SK in .40 S&W. Awsome gun. The fit is absolutely perfect, recoil is next to nothing (IMO...compared to my Beretta), and the size and form-factor are just unbeatable. So now, I'm thinking that I want to get rid of my fullsize USP and use that to trade to a USP...

So I came up with a list of 'codes' that my wife and I could use to communicate in the event of an emergency. The 'codes' are basically numbers with each one representing a different action. As an example, if I were to shout "1 1 1", my wife knows that means go to the bathroom, lock the door...

I've searched around on various forums and I'm not real sure on this issue. As I understand it so far: 1911s were designed for 'ball' ammunition. JHPs will work, but there are some issues feeding. The feeding issues revolve around the shape of the particular cartridge in use. JHP Cartridges...

Mods...could you please delete this duplicate. Sorry

So this weekend, I picked up a Kimber Compact Stainless II. I was looking at that or the Colt Defender and had a chance to shoot both. The Kimber just felt more comfortable in the grip. Both seemed to offer the same performance and feedback and niether had problems feeding. I did a little...

Yes, I know the question comes up alot but I don't have nearly as much weaponry or expertise as most folks around here so I appreciate the help you guys give. You have taught me much and I consider you all friends! So in Sep, I will finally be able to apply for my CHL in Texas...will have...

Over the weekend, I've noticed an issue with my HK USP 45 Tatical that I believe may be an issue with the magazine. When I insert a loaded magazine, but do not chamber a round, I can tilt the firearm back and forth and hear a 'rattle'. Not really a rattle but I can hear something moving back...

I'm considering buying ammo in bulk for traget practice and keeping a box or two of defensive loads on hand also. Found better prices on-line and figure it'll help control costs. If I get one those army surplus ammo holders (don't know the correct term), is that good for long term storage? Is...

Hopefully this is the right area to ask this question, it does relate to tatics for home defense. The scenario (I should say, the reality) was that last night as I was going to bed, I heard sirens. Thought it might be out on an access road, but as I turned the lights off, I could see flashers...

So went out and picked up the XD .45 Tatical today. I love the way it feels in my end...still getting used to this Safety Trigger thing though. Anywho, picked up a box of range ammo and a box of defense ammo. Get home and find out he gave me 185gr +p for the defense ammo. Looking through the...

This is kind of inline with 'jibjab's post but a little different. I would, however, like to use the same disclaimer...I'm not trying to prod, poke, embarrass, or debate anyone. If anything, I'm trying to figure out where I fit in. The question is, what kind of a firearm owner are you? Are...

Let me preface by saying that I'm going for my CCW in August, once I've been a resident of TX for 6 months, pursuant to the rules. Hence, why I'm asking here. I've seen some confusing signs and seek clarification.My understanding of TX CCW laws is that there are restrictions where you can and...

Hey you all. I'm new in Texas and have been anxiously familiarizing myself with all applicable firearm laws. In my studies, I found a bill (HB 823) introduced by Keel last year that ammended existing statutues to define 'travelling' and provide a presumption of innocence that a person was...

I've been looking for a double-sided hard case that could accomodate 1-full size and 1-compact on each side, plus one magazine for each. Does such a thing exist? I've been haunting my local gun stores and the Internet and have not come across anything yet.
