Coming from my Glock21SF, I wanted a 9mm pistol. I decided a CZ75B would be a nice change of pace being fully steel and cheaper to shoot. I went to my local shop and range. The employee lit up when I asked about a CZ because he carries one himself. Long story short I was able to rent one at the...

NOT A TAURUS BASHING THREAD. Former FFL friend of the family recieved a brand new (NIB) Taurus 94 (.22lr) in trade for a couch or something....He test fired it and it worked just fine. He wants to sell it to me for only $150. Now, I've had a very,very bad experience with Taurus before (a...

I've been seriously considering gettting a Para GI Expert (Or SA Mil Spec) in the last few months, especially since I shot better with a friendly gentleman's Para GI than with the Glock 21 I'd been shooting all day. I just saw GSG's new .22 1911 on aimsurplus, with "tacticool" things on it like...

If this is "off topic" I apologize but I saw this and immediately thought of TFL being a good place to discuss it. According to NPR, a border town in Mexico has been virtually abandoned due to the cartels fighting, killing, rampaging in the town. The Mexican military has been unable to provide...

THIS IS NOT A SHTF THREAD. DO NOT LET IT BE ONE. I read throgh American Handgunner's 2011 Reality Check issue, and I realized that in addition to keeping food, water, basic car repair items and what not in my car, a pistol that I can vacuum pack or otter box in a trunk cargo compartment with...

I bought a single point sling at a gunshow last year, have yet to use it because I need a single point sling plate for my Mossberg 500. I've seen ones from UTG and ERGO, and some others that are more expensive. What is your choice? How did you get it? How much was it? I've finally resolved...

I'd guess every serious shooter ponders going through the BAFTE waiting game at least once. Suddenly, now, I want an SBS. But I'm too poor and too young to validate such a purchase or the wait time. I'm on very good terms with my local CLEO and I know a great deal of gunsmiths and dealers that...

I checked into the pawn shop near my university just to kill some time after class, and I was suprised to see the variety there at the prices. A few Dan Wesson Revolvers [large, .357 and .44] but what caught my eye was a Sig Sauer P226 in .357SIG. It had clearly seen some hard use but not to...

When I posted on this forum about getting my first handgun, another member warned me that "they tend to multiply." After getting my second handgun, a Glock 21SF and shooting it I thought I was satisfied. Now that I'm back to college, having left my job for my studies I have no income... and a...

Okay since I shot my Glock 21SF for the first time this last Sunday I realized that as awesome as it was (and effective enough for it's purpose) I should really look into upgrading, because its like hey the parts are there and it will help. But is it too soon to say "this needs upgrades" after...

Because Range report sounds generic. [I own this image] I had this gun for about a month now, it's my first real handgun [not counting my MK III] and finally got out to the range. Put 100 230 grain CCI LAWMAN's down range with no failures or hangs. The first magazine was all over the place...

Other than my Ruger MKIII that is. After years of waiting to be 21 I finally have it.

This is an interesting occurrence. I've shot dozens of pistols in my life, and now that I'm 21 with the Minnesota Buyer Permit I can get handguns. I bought a Ruger MKIII the day my permit came in, but I have been planning on a Glock 21SF for the longest time, I already have a magazine for it and...

As posted yesterday I got my first handgun [10th gun in my collection] a brand new Ruger MKIII Government Target Bull Barrel.I took it to the range today and put about 300 cci minimags downrange with no failures. But there was some play in the sights both front and rear, and the accuracy was...

I turned 21 last week and my Minnesota Uniform Handgun buyers permit came in today :D I'm finally a handgun owner. I got this beauty brand new for $360 with transfer from my favorite gunsmith. I will be getting my Glock21SF tomorrow from another shop I had a deal with tomorrow. I'm so happy! :)

I'm turning 21 in a few weeks and I'm dead set on my first handgun to be bought, but with the price of .45ACP right now I need a .22 or something cheap to shoot [Bulgy Makarov,TTC, MK.III.] Something I can actually afford to shoot. I'd love a Ruger MK.III or a .22 revolver.But 9mm makarov is...

After a less than savory experience with the GRP last night, I watched DRTV's expo on the Remington 1911R1, and Michael said that sometimes a 1911 "just doesn't feel right." I've shot a multitude of 1911s and I'm no stranger to endurance shooting, but last night I just could not get that GRP...

I just rented one because it's like hey try this $2300 1911....and I dont know what think of it. It was compeletly solid steel, heavy and well build, no malfunctions no jams or hangups. I'm no stranger to 1911 types... and It's fair to say I shoot them on par... but with this one at 21 feet I...

I'm not sure if this should be here or in C&R I received a package in the mail today from the estate of a friend of the family today, and it was this flintlock pistol. The only markings on it are TOWER, EIG JAPAN and GR with a crown emblem. Should I get it appraised? Is it worth anything...

Hey TFL! long time no post. I have something I need to be settled. I will attending a gunshow first of the new year, and I finally got around to getting my MN permit to buy. So I'm wondering, should I try to find a deal on an AR15 (complete) or should I go for a GSG-5 in any form? I already...
