I wasn't particularly interested in this thread: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=49391 but I had to take a look to see what scandalous things had caused it to be locked and found...NOTHING...no bad language or nuttin! Could this be censorship? Hard to believe from...

Screw your courage to the sticking place. What the heck does that mean? I mean, I KNOW what it means, but WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Where the heck did a goofy saying like that come from? I last (or maybe first) heard it in Disney's Beauty and the Beast movie. Does it have an interesting origin or...

Would the Kahr P9 be a good choice for my wife? I could get her a K9, but I want a P9 and this way I can take it away from her after we've had it a few months. Seriously tho, I would probably carry either gun once in awhile and I think the P9 would be better for CC. Hog

Just wondering...

Has anyone read Alistair McLean (Guns of Navarone, et al)? I grew up on his books and was greatly influenced by them (as well as Robert A. Heinlein). I was in my early teens when I started reading McLean's books and now, almost 30 years later (UGGHHH!) I find I still remember scenes from the...

I just bought a .45 H&K USP Compact and thought some of you H&K owners could help me out. Where's the best place to get extra magazines? Are there non-HK mags available and, if so, are they worth getting? Hog

I saw a leather jacket recently (can't remember where) that has a zippered pocket inside that is designed to be a holster. Has anyone ever seen a insulated vest like this? I rarely wear a jacket...too warm...and would prefer a cloth jacket to leather anyway, but would REALLY like a vest! Hog

What type of ammo does everyone here like for defensive purposes? My needs are for 9mm, .45acp and .44mag or special, but I would be interested in hearing your responses for other calibers as well. I've always be partial to Silvertips but am looking with great interest at the Triton CQ...

A post in another thread (on the merits of QUIK-SHOKs) got me to looking around the Triton site where I found their CQ Frangible ammo. Based on their website the stuff looks pretty good, stopping power without over-penetration. What do you guys think? Yea or nay? Hog

I would like to get a tactical light that will mount on my H&K USP Compact. The one HK sells is $260!!!! Does anyone know of another brand that will fit? SureFire and Scorpion (Streamlight) don't appear to make one... Hog

I was looking at the Winchester site and they had a little blurb on how SXTs are made and I couldn't really tell from the photos but when they swage the bullet, which puts the hollow point in the bullet I believe, do you end up with a fully jacketed hollowpoint? Or does the jacket just "smear"...

Been wracking my brain, trying to figure out which DA .45 I should get cuz I don't like the idea of carrying my Detonics cocked 'n' locked without a strap in front of the hammer, and my holster has no strap. But I've heard from quite a few people that this is OK! So, today I go out for my...

Howdy, all! I'm looking for a DA auto for concealed carry. Preferably something on the small side. My preferences: .40 cal (would prefer .45 actually) Small/light enuf to not be a burden for every day carry Stainless (I'm a sweater!...and NOT the kind you wear!) Like an earlier poster, I am...
