So many posts on what is the best round to use...what makes the biggest holes.... Here's an easy way for you to test for the best. For you. And your gun. Probably will cost you around $100+, but hey, you're testing this to defend your life, right? That's low dollars, considering...

Seems that sight picture does make a difference... I just wasn't shooting as well with my Glock 19 as some other 9mm. And I did not think it was the Glock, I blamed me, the user. And...that was true. To a point. All my other 9mm's I've used have three dot sights. Turns out its much easier to...

The debate is seemingly endless over a few millimeters of bullet diameter in pistol caliber. But I really think it just doesn't matter. Some forum lines do state some of what I've put below, but the real factors to consider as an individual is shot placement control and number of rounds you can...

Forgive the line from "The Terminator"... :cool: I did a search of the Taurus website, and came up with an interesting pistol... Apparently, a 24/7 pistol with a long slide is coming. No picture yet. 4th qtr release. (rails on it could mount the laser...so I just threw that line in...)...

So far, I am very pleased with my high serial number PT-145 (high serial number to duck the plastic receiver/frame cracking issue with eariler PT-145's) However, I have noticed a minor issue with the gun's design. While very nicely machined, the design of the weapon leaves minor openings along...

Ok, I just bought it yesterday, and I couldn't resist...normally I go to an outdoor range, but instead had to try it out on an indoor one... I had to know if I had a reliable, accurate carry weapon. I shot about 200 rounds of FMJ 230 grain through it. The gun is a striker fired weapon, no...

Well, I went ahead and bought one...a PT-145 (upper in stainless). Seems to be very well constructed, very light weight, even with a full mag. Stellar price. I haven't had any time to test fire it, however. May have to wait quite a few weeks before I can get to an outdoor range. I plan to...

Taurus USED to offer a titanium version of the PT145...blue slide (not blued...blue in color...). A look at the Taurus 2002 catalog and its not there. Only the "regular" non-titanium model is present. In fact, there seems to be no .45 auto made out of titanium. Anybody know what happened?

Its pretty neat...color exploded diagrams of their products...I could do without the music though... http://www.hecklerkoch-usa.com/flash.html For many weapons, the manuals can be downloaded. Not the P7, however. I also asked them in a phone call if the P7 was "going away", as some rumors...

I've considered purchasing some variant of an AR-15 carbine, or building my own, but now I am begining to think it would only be useful to get a full sized 20" target model for competition...considering: If you HAVE to fire it indoors without hearing protection, you're deaf, or at least...

I know that the higher the "grain" number of a bullet, the heavier it is. But I am curious about the history of the term, and just how heavy a "grain" is, as relating to ammunition. More importantly, why would what sounds like an outdated term be used? The military went to the metric...

The CMP program is now offering subsidized AR-15 competition level rifles and parts through their affiliated shooting organizations. The shooting association buys the rifle, and can transfer it to you, if you meet all requirements, and agree not to sell the gun for a minimum of four years...and...

As read in USA Today... http://www.usatoday.com/news/washdc/ncsthu02.htm SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Smith & Wesson is backing away from parts of its landmark agreement with the Clinton administration that called on it to crack down on gun dealers. A ''clarification'' posted on the company's...

It is tough to get a really good in the waistband holster for a P7...its not a "common" pistol like a Glock or 1911. It has a relatively unusual shape, with a large grip. After a lot of "web" research and reading, I took a bit of a chance on a Milt Sparks VM2 custom made for the P7...it cost...

Not to rekindle the debate on the military's new super rifle, but this was a neat site for its specs... http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/oicw.htm Another neat sight in general... http://sun00781.dn.net/man/dod-101/sys/land/

I've been playing around with a surplus M1 for a while, and think I want to add another rifle...and I am torn between the Springfield M1A, and the AR-15. Seems like parts are well in abundance for the AR, and it gets high marks for accuracy, and even reliability now. It would also be a very...

Any P7M8 owners have a preference for an inside the waistband holster for a P7M8? I am looking hard at a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2, and invite suggestions and comments. The P7 tends to be a hard pistol to find a good holster for because of the large grip design...
