If any of you like supernatural fantasy or horror in modern settings, but hate when books and movies obviously know nothing about guns and gun handling, this is the book for you. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005OSJBVW It's only $2.99 and can be read on any device with a Kindle app (PC, smartphone...

I've read good things in the past about the SR9, but not much about the new compact version. How does it stack up in both size and quality to similar compact pistols? Is it more like a PPS, or more like a PM9?

I'd like to get everyone's opinion on what they think will be the next big innovation in handguns. Let's not count phazers and energy weapons, since that's still really far off. I think that there's real potential for innovation in recoil management (can the spring be beat?) and in propulsion...

I understand how blow-back guns work. I understand how Browning's tilt barrel locked breech works. But how the heck does Beretta's rotating barrel work? Educate me, fine Firing Line folks!

Here in J-ville, Fl, there's a gun shop who's commercials are not helping with the perception of gun owners. It's set up like a 911 call. The operator answers with the usual "What's your emergency" line. The following transcript is a paraphrase since I can't remember it verbatim. Woman: There's...

I was doing some dry-fire draw practice yesterday, and came up with something that might make for a good training technique. Or maybe I'm an ametuer and I'm doing something silly. I was thinking about how to simulate the stress reactions one would have in a real SD situation. I didn't think I...

I saw someone at the range a while ago with the forefinger of their support hand around the front of the trigger guard when they fired. I tried it myself just for gits and shiggles and it seemed to control the recoil better. Is this an accepted grip style or is it the handgun equivalent of Happy...

For SnapCaps?:eek::barf: Why the #@%& does four or five rounds of dummy ammo cost more than a box of real ammo. I could buy two boxes of Blazer Brass at Walmart for that (assuming I could find any). What gives? I just wanna be careful dry firing my G19.

I've joined the dark side. I got a Glock 19 today. Haven't taken it to the range yet, but if I don't remedy that before the day's over, I'll do it tomorrow. Now I've got to survive the wait for my Crossbreed Supertuck. Three more weeks of carrying my PT111.

I was at my favorite gun shop today (Shooters of Jacksonville) and they had 9mm and .40S&W Glocks for $489! I've been jonesing for a Glock for a while now, but I'm dead broke! I'm saving up for a 19 or 26, and this price is amazing. Why are they on sale when I'm broke? It's cruel. Someone...

Anyone watch Eleventh Hour on CBS Thursday nights? Is it just me, or is the gunplay on that show a cut above all the other investigative dramas on TV? For starters, all the FBI agents carry Glocks rather than whatever the prop guy thinks looks cool. For another, they're actually shooting the...

I just got a new job and, as I feared, buried in their employee handbook is a provision prohibiting firearms on their property "including private vehicles on property regardless of local or state law." This corporate attitude infuriates me. Not only do they disregard my right to protect myself...

The Taurus PT-111, the Glock 19, and the Glock 26. Obviously I'm aware that the Glocks are better quality. I already have the PT-111 and am looking at replacing it with one of those Glocks. If I got the G26, it would have to be with the pinky-extend mags, which is why I'm considering the G19. I...

Anyone have SureSights on their gun? I stumbled across their website http://www.suresight.com yesterday and I think that's the neatest idea I've seen in a while. I totally want some, but they don't make them for my PT-111. I especially like that the point of impact is supposed to be what's...

I have a PT-111 pro, which is DA/SA. It has a manual safety which is not a decocker, so it is in SA mode pretty much all the time. The DA is just for double-tapping bad rounds. I've been practicing my draw at home, dryfiring (none of the ranges around here allow drawing) and I've had problems...

My wife is looking at getting a Bersa Thunder .380. She's only fired 9mm guns before (my PT-111 and a Hi-Point c9) and didn't like them because the recoil hurt her hand. She's 5' 4'' and 106 lbs soaking wet, so it is a factor for her. She's heard varying reports about the difference in recoil...

I got a bad box of Atlanta Arms and Ammo 9mm's at my range today. They offer a $2 a box discount on the stuff if you have a membership. I kept jamming with FTFs and FTEs. I thought it was my gun since I didn't clean it the last time (that was only a few days ago and I knew I'd be back today, so...

I'm going to be carrying concealed soon (whenever they get my license to me) and I'm want to hear from experienced people about unusual problems one might not think of. A good example is that I realized that if I had to use a public restroom, I couldn't leave my gun/holster on my belt with my...

I'm thinking of changing the sights on my Mil Pro PT-111. I don't think I like the Heinie straight eights. It might just be my lack of experience (trigger pull) but I have trouble hitting what I'm looking at unless I place the backstrap of the gun in front of it. Keep hitting low. I do much...

I just came from the range, and someone there was shooting a .500 magnum! The first shot they fired caused the whole range (about six or eight guys) to lean back out of their stalls and look. The report was more felt than heard. I could feel my earphones compress in and then out with every shot...
