    Texas: pistols in automibiles

    I heard on the news this morning that as of September 1, for Texas residents, it will be legal to have a handgun in your automobile. Any of you fellow Texans know the particulars/details of this? Is this different than the current Texas CHL statutes? I travel to and from the local ranges with...

    CZ75B: half cock purpose?

    I have had my CZ75B for some time now and I am quite pleased with it's performance. However I'm wondering what the funtion of the 'half-cock' is. At 'half cock,' the trigger has a lighter, longer pull before break over but the safety can not be engaged until the weapon is fully cocked. Is this a...

    Testosterone village on Saturday morning: shoulder to shoulder shopping. Much more laid back crowd on Sunday morning. Prices in general: high, but negotiable for most dealers, particularly on Sunday before church lets out. In Texas, God fearing folks buy firearms. Stong Homeland Defense...

    Taurus Model 66 .357: range report

    First time out on the range with this (used) revolver. DA seemed smooth but a little stiff and shots at 30m were a little dissapointing. However in the SA mode, it was amazingly accurate. I had to get used to the grips. Rather paltry rubber factory grips but that can corrected. I like the way...

    New Taurus .357 Model 66

    Got a good deal on this revolver. I prefer a S&W, but the price of the Taurus was about $125 below MSRP for this piece. It's intended use is a 'snake' gun/side arm I intend to carry at my place out in west Texas. This spring has brought out a bumper crop of copperheads and rattlers. I have...

    Fort Worth Gun Show

    My son and I went to the Fort Worth Gun Show this morning. Hand gun prices were higher than the last show (haggling notwithstanding). Accessories and ammo were generally in line with on line prices. Subtract shipping charges from on line purchases and there were some deals on accessories. Stuff...

    I have a whole locker full of semi-auto pistols. I do not, however have a large caliber revolver.

    Break-in loads for Colts HBAR15A3?

    What is a good break-in round for a new Colt HBAR15A3 with a 16" bbl? I am finding that quality .233 FMJ's are hard to find in my area (Fort Worth, Tex.) I'm not too sure about the quality military surplus stuff (shoots dirty as I remember from active duty days). I've been looking for...

Primary use is a 'GP ranch' rifle that will be adequate for general varmit control i.e.:coyotes, small deer, feral goats/pigs. Can't afford more...
