Hello all: I have a S&W 642 that I wish to start jogging with. I am also thinking about getting the Kahr P9M when my local shop gets on in. With these two in mind, what would be the forum's recommendations for carry while jogging. I was thinking of going with a belly band, but I wasn't sure...

Hello all: I just acquired a 16"AR15 A2 and want to do some stuff to it. First on the list is a sling. I want to carry from the low ready position and be able to shoulder the rifle without having any snaps or such to disengage. Any recommendations welcome. Coley

Hello TFLers: I am thinking of transistioning to a 1911 for carry. I love the feel of the grip in my hand and the trigger pull is great. What I don't like is the position of the mag release. I am currently carrying a SIG and I have no problem activating the mag release. What are the...

Hello all: I am thinking of buying a 1911 platform .45. I have been carrying SIG's in various calibers for about 14 years now. My question really is about how long will the transition take and what drills should I practice that would be relevant to mastering the 1911. If I like the 1911, I...

Thinging about getting a 1911. I have fired them before, but am unsure of the SOP for the presentation. I know that grip would be first, but do I thumb off the safety before or after I put my finger on the trigger? Coley

I admit to much ignorance in the above listed calibers. I am therefore seeking advice from the many wise and knowledgeable on this board. I will explain. I used to be a big 9mm fan, carried that caliber for many years. Recently lost faith in the 9mm, and that was all it took. I started...

What should I be paying for this firearm? I was quoted $569, is this good? Thanks, Coley

I was wondering what the group thought about buying a used scope over the internet. I am notlooking at any scope in particular, it is just that I don't want to shell out full price for a long range scope right now and was hoping to find a used one. Any comments are appreciated. Coley

Hello Fl'ers I am looking for a Bushmaster 16" flattop and was wondering if anyone had a line on a good deal. Thanks, Coley

I am using W231, but Winchester doesn't list load data for a 165 grain bullet. I am using Rainer 165 grain flat points. Any suggested staring points and OAL would be greatly appreciated. Coley

I have been a loyal SIG follower for some time. I just started reloading and didn't want to experiment with my SIGs, so I went out and bought a used Glock 17. Yesterday I shot it with both reloads and factory ammo. I was impressed. Accurate, controllable and a great, though different trigger...

Just wondering what everyone thought about the new SIG's (if it ever comes out) ability to handle hot loads. The conversion should be as simple as a barrel swap, right? Coley

Is it possible to use a 10mm barrel in a 45 platform, such as the Kimber or Colt? Specifically, can the 45 platform handle the pressures and pounding of the 10mm and are there barrels available for this project? Coley

I was thinking of doing a 9mm conversion on my AR and am very interested in the Socom manufacturing (I think that is the correct name) adapter to use Sten mags. I think it is a better set up than the modified mags by Olympic (can't put them in a pouch). My question is how good are Sten mags...

No time to be a hero, right? Isn't it best just to get out of there and tell yourself you're never going out without your sidearm again? Coley

hello all: I am considering a Kahr Micro to replace my current pocket rig a S&W 642 with Speer Gold Dot, 124 (?) grain, +p ammo. The main reason is that I am not a big fan of the 38, even in +p velocities. Since ammo capacity is similar, that is not a concern. Secondary reasons are: it is...

I was just wondering if most of the viewers here practice just one art or several. Personally, I have tried many (Shotokan, Aikido, Northern Style Shaolin, Kung Fu, Kick Boxing, etc) and I suppose my fighting style is a combo. Lately I have really taken to TaiJutsu. My hope is to be the best...

I may be moving in the near future and my two choices will be (gulp) San Diego, Kalifornia and Miami, Florida. Given the politics of the two, I suppose Miami is the better choice. I have been to San Diego many times for pleasure and my wife and I really enjoyed it there. I have never been to...

How do you tell if a Kahr MK9 is an Elite? I want to make sure I get the trigger upgrade. Coley

Hello all: I want to shoot my AR really well. Unfortunately, I feel that I have picked up some bad habits. :( I have no formal training in riflemanship and have basically taught myself. What would any of you recommend. I really want to start with the basics and then progress from there...
