Les Baer - YES, ABSOLUTELY! Wilson - From what I saw, NO! Ed Brown - STILL UNDECIDED: I have shot and handled both a Classic Custom .45 and a bullseye match pistol 6" made by them a couple of years ago. I am still trying to figure out whether they're worth the asking price... but I think I...

I refuse to die! :neener:

I agree with THR buddy Ala Dan that the Swiss SIG P210 definitely belongs in the group of most reliable "wondernines" (whatever that is). It's highly respected in Germany. The nice thing about most Nines is that they generally work quite well out of the box. Just recently, I shot a friend's...

I've voted for the Czech pistol. I tend to regard the Springfield XD to be strange "wanna-be-Glock". It's no match for the Austrian pistol, in my opinion. MAGNUMMAN is correct. The CZ 75 has been around for a long time and it is a proven design.

Dear Chuck: Welcome aboard! I own four Les Baer pistols (one Premier II 6" 9 mm, a Premier II 5" .45, a PPC Open 6" and a Monolith Heavyweight). I will never part with any of them. You can expect absolute reliability, top quality worksmanship, good ergonomics, great looks and, last not...

I own three Les Baers .45s and they have never malfunctioned as they came from the factory. I am confident each one will continue to swallow any decently assembled round, regardless of bullet configuration. Most of the current 1911 models I see on the range once in a while seem to work...

Tough Choice: Both are the cream of the crop of 9 mm Luger pistols. Honestly, if you can afford it, get both. If you have the chance to handle both, pick the one that feels more friendly to you. The DA trigger of the Sig-Sauer is a bit of a challenge at first, but it can be mastered with...

Dear Boats: I agree with you wholeheartly: Accuracy is decidedly more important than firepower. I was not my intention to give the impression that "spray and pray" is what I think to be a viable tactic for self-defense. Upon re-reading my own post, I admit it's easy to come to this (false)...

Frankly spoken, for the defensive scenarios I am likely to face I'd be happy carrying either one... ...however, the 15-round magazine capacity of the Glock just gives me a psychological advantage knowning that I'd have more ammo at my disposal allowing me to stay longer in the fight...

If I understand you correctly, then you're eligible to pack a gun chambered for a more effective caliber than .38 or .380, right? Given the many superior choices available today, then I'd rather choose have a more powerful gun/caliber combination for the main CCW gun. Depending on the way you...

Like Spreadfire Arms I waited in line during the Shot Show to get an autographed picture of him. With some many stupid liberals and antis around us, we can consider ourselves very fortunate to have Mr. Ermey on our side. By the way, I like the boot camp part in movie "Full Metal Jacket" a...

What is really sad is that all that ivory is going to end up sitting in a warehouse. Yeah, it's indeed a pity. I am not a hunter and I've never been in Africa but from what I've read it's difficult to locate an elephant with really long & heavy tusks nowadays. Regarding the moral aspects...

Dear Mr. Yeager In stone ages, elephants and other wild animals virtually had their whole natural living space at their "free" disposal. Back then humans were armed with "primitive" weapons like stones, spears, bows et cetera they were mostly prey to most wild animals themselves, I can...

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: I am going to start getting a Custom Safari Rifle built for me on a Mauser M98 Magnum action. Primary purpose will be hunting dangerous game. For plains game I have either more user friendly and scoped .30-06 and .375 H&H Mag. Model 70 at my immediate disposal...

H&Hhunter: Thanks again for your kind information. :) Read a similar thing in one of the forums about a gentleman handing over his double rifle to the PH as a gift in the end of a successful African hunt! If I recall correctly, the hunter said he doesn't need the gun anymore after he...

Another vote for the Glock 17! In my opinion the XD is an absolutely overrated pistol. Time will tell, but I bet it'll never match a Glock. Dear F15H: You've stated you'll use the pistol for IDPA and PPC matches only. Personally, I cannot think of a better full-sized self-defense 9 mm...

Dear Harold! Very cool "home defense" handgun and cool-looking grips, too. I hope you made a good deal also. Did you already shoot it? Regard, TK

H&Hhunter: Once again, I've to say a big "Thank you very much!" for the time you took to answer my (many) questions. Although, I think the .416 Rigby is an absolute fabulous round for general hunting in Africa, I lean more towards a .45" dia. bore (top contenders: .458 Lott, .450 Rigby; the...

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: I am thinking hard about getting an additional dangerous game custom bolt-action magazine rifle in addition to an already existing .375 H&H. I haven't made up my mind on the most appropriate caliber, but it should be over .400" bore. Besides performance of game and...

Dear H&Hhunter and Kudu: Thank you for your kind comments, which put everything back in proper perspective. I know, I have a disturbing urge to overdo things a little bit every once in a while. I'll follow your advise. I wish both of you a most recreational weekend, good shootin' and...
