My husband and I are thinking about getting a .45 for recreational use. We love the 1911 platform. We've been sorting through the options and have pretty much identified a major contender so far as 1911s are concerned. Now we'd like to look at some non-1911 options, but aren't quite sure where...

So, the other day I was at the range. It was pretty full so my husband and I were sharing a lane. A father and son take the lane next to us. No big deal. They seemed like nice enough folks. The issue was with their firearm. Their handgun was throwing their spent casings so high and so right...

Just a quick question here. We are new to the mountains and have notice a few bears wondering around rather close to house. So far there have been no encounters, but we are just wondering what is the best round for taking down an aggressive bear? We've got a 9mm, a .38, and a 12ga. I assume the...

Without regard for price, what do you consider to be the best CC pistol currently in production? Why? NOTE: Indeed, I am just looking for opinions not definitive answers. :cool: ETA: OK since the first one didn't work let me be crystal clear. This question is intentionally vague and...

Hello all, This is my first post, so bare with me. I'm in the market for a handgun I can both conceal and use comfortably in the range. I plan to shoot 50+ rounds every two weeks, so it's really got to be comfortable. My budget is around the $400 mark. Now in terms of concealing it, I am a...
