We all know that the primary objective of a bullet is to kill or incapacitate its target. On this, the diameter of a bullet plays a significant role. For me, a big bullet travelling at a moderate speed seems to have a better "stopping power" than to smaller bullet travelling at high speed -...

My observation in all Target Ranges in my country is that, the .45in ACP still dominates the gun circle and I believe it is the same to many countries in the world. Would this mean that shooters (Military, Police, Civilian Alike) still trust the long use and historical pistol. There might be...

If you're given another chance to pick up one from the list, then which one you prefer based on the Muzzle Velocity & Effective Range of the FA. Consider that the data given are all using a standard load ammunition for particular calibre. It excludes those who load their own ammo just to...

In most of the pistol enthusiast since I am reading TFL posts, mostly talks German, Austrian, Italians and US made guns. Are the Korean made like the DP51 worth buying or they are junks pistol. Also, many give appreciation to the Taurus, and Makarov which are made from Brazil and China...

It is almost 4 months now, since my country is busy of its election campaign. My hands is itchy of having a target practice. Even there is CCW if not given exemption from the COMELEC (Commission on Election)office cannot bring out his gun. Is this reasonable to the government to prevent its...

Whilst I am on the range starting shooting at my targets, sudenly the slide stopper protrude about an inch., which causes my 1911 inoperable. It is my first experienced of such kind. Is it not because of over lubrication of the moving parts or just simply mechanical defects. Please advise on...

I asked this questions because I have been confronted several barehands real fights in the street, I was poked by knives by hold-uppers but luckily get out from it. I was also being about to be shot but I was able to neutralize it without shooting back to the BG but instead evade the...

The question seems common but I just want to know some from those having CCW how do they carry. I believe that there is also danger in having CCW if some BG can spot it (just in case) and forcely take it from you by surprise and use it to hurt or kill you (God forbid). I saw some people...

We always mentioned in any topic about self defense using our CCW's, but how determined each and every one of us to really use it in self defense. Are we not having second thought that if we are going to use it as a primary weapon in self defense then we may be in big trouble (not only criminaly...

Two days ago I visited one target range. I did not bring with me my target .45 target pistol, instead I rented a Glock 17 Austrian made. Before the RO handed to me the Glock, I ask him if it is so safe for target practice, as it reminds me the various events where some glock models were broken...

In a recent shooting competition (local IPSC) I had compete with, I witnessed several race-guns that became inoperable after pumping several shots on targets. It came to my mind that race-gun or much modified guns are not surety to make a pistol reliable. This is just my contribution to think...
