    Why the heck do I keep liking Taurus so much!!

    I know that Taurus has a spotty reputation. They make good guns but with a higher than usual rate of lemons. But I swear it's like they design their guns for me. I am in the market for a CCW most likely in 9mm. So I start searching and shooting. I liked the Kahr CW9 but there are lots of...

    New hunting gun: Glock 20 range report

    I have been an avid bowhunter for many years and have recently been bitten by the handgun bug. After weighing my options I decided on the 10mm cartridge and the Glock platform. I am not a revolver guy so I needed a capable round in a semi. The Glock is big, blocky,ugly, boring, but very reliable...

    LC9 Range Report

    I got to spend some time at the range with my LC9 today. I shot 50rnds Blaser,50rnds Federal, and 20rnds of Hornady TAP. I bought this gun for my everyday carry gun. The fit and finish are great, the size is perfect, the grip fits me really well with the pinky extension,...I also like the safety...

    Laser recommendation for PT101P

    Ive decided to make my Pt101P my home defense gun. I have it loaded with 16 rounds of Hornady TAP .40S&W. Now I am thinking about adding a laser. Price IS an issue bc I got the gun on sale for $299. I dont care to spend more on the laser than the gun. I am also interested in tactical lights...

    Do you break down and inspect before you buy?

    A couple of threads got me thinking. Some folks post pics of new guns that have obvious machining issues. I just saw a slide that looked like a meat grinder was taken to it. The guy went to the range and it malfunctioned. That was the first time he noticed anything. I always break down the gun...

    How to handle this situation

    This happened to me 3 years ago. I DID NOT have a gun with me but let's assume it happens again and I do have my cc gun. At what point would you draw your weapon? I was walking to my car in a busy downtown area across a large parking lot. I saw 4 gangbangers pushing an older gentleman. The man...

    What's the story on the Sig P250

    I'm looking to get a 9mm and have not been able to find one locally. I'm concidering the Taurus PT24/7 OSS, PT809, Glock 17, and possibly the Sig. I have spent a lot of time with all of them except the Sig. Any known issues? How is the trigger?

    Should I re-take the CCW class

    So I have been around guns my whole life. I understand them, I was taught from age six the proper gun safety measures. I have always spent a lot of time at the range but for some unknown reason put off getting my CCW. Soooo, here is the problem. I found a class taught by an ex LEO and he does...

    New baby in the house. I need advice on home defense

    My wife and I have been blessed with a beautiful new baby boy! Previously I get my .45 by the bed. However, my sons room is in the direct line of fire from my bedroom entrance. I believe that a .45 could penetrate the walls and enter his room. Soo, I have put the .45 up and opted for a shotgun...

    Taurus TCP .380 range report

    I thought I would probably like this gun. I had no idea just how impressed i would be with the TCP. It exceeded all of my expectations and impressed me more than any gun I have owned through the years! For such a small gun, the accuracy is simple amazing. The trigger is good with a very even...

    Saw a Taurus TCP...Bought a Taurus TCP

    Ive been trying to find an LCP for awhile. I finally found one and went to buy it. When I got there I saw that they had a TCP as well. After comparing the 2, I could not find any reason to buy the Ruger. The Taurus TCP was built MUCH better than I expected. The fit and finish was great! It comes...

    LCP owners..Do u carry more often now

    I'm really torn on what gun I should buy. I am thinking either a small 9mm or the LCP. I am not someone who feels the need to carry very often. However, I know I would carry a LCP a lot bc of it's size. I'm thinking a small .380 is certainly better than having no gun at all. Any advice on the...

    "slim" 9mm options

    I'm really wanting to buy a smaller 9mm for carry. I almost bought an LCP but I'm just not crazy about the .380. I handled a Taurus PT709 and it's everything I want! However, there seems to be a lot of Internet reports of problems. I have a PT145 that is simply fantastic so I have a favorable...

    My 68 y/o neighbor saved by his Sig

    My family has had a lakehouse since I was a kid. We have had the same neighbor for 30 years up there and are obviously good friends. The cove we are in has about 40 houses on a dirt road and surrounded by mountains. My neighbor walks the logging roads in the morning to stay in shape. Well he...

    Is this a good choice for carry?

    I know there are a lot of threads similar to this so hang with me. I am new to revolvers but after shooting a few, I have decided I want to keep my .45 at home and use a revolver for carry. I started my search and quickly became a little overwhelmed. Every gun shop gave me different advice...

    Taurus PT145 continues to impress!

    I think this is the best deal out there in a compact .45. I have 1700 trouble free rounds with lots of cheap ammo. It keeps getting better and smoother the more I shoot. I like the manual safety, ability to shoot any ammo trouble free, and the Heine sights are great for self defense(not for...

    Any S&W Model 622s out there?

    I love this.22...My dad had this gun and passed away several years ago. I had not shot it much until lately and have found it to be one of my best shooting pistols. It cycles cheap rounds just fine and I can shoot it very well. I am just curious what other owners think of this. I don't run...
