Only own the TCP My little TCP sits unnoticed in my right pocket in a Hunter pocket holster. Never had a hiccup, accurate at 7 yards. Just wish it carried more than 6 in the magazine. It's the only one I have had extended experience with. Almost identical to my buddy's LCP, which he has zero...

Old and Young, passing the torch, so to speak. I have a very good friend that used to teach snipers at the FBI Academy, also a former Army sniper. He has a 15 year old protege that just set a world record at 500 yards (.308). I think his score was 397 out of 400. Don't think anyone criticizes...

Light recoil 9mm. I have a Stoeger Cougar, which is really the lightest shooting pistol I have ever fired. It actually kicks less than many .380s. With the rotating barrel, it has very little barrel flip and Academy Sports sells them for around $400. The .40 S&W kicks about the same as most 9mm...

Great discussion!! Well done folks. Thank God I live in Texas, with its Castle laws, concealed carry and pro-carry LEOs. The bottom line someone mentioned really applies here in Texas, "I was in fear of my life and the lives of others and shot to defend myself and others, Amen!" They teach...

Great reliable home protection I bought mine a year ago at a gunshow for less than $350 out the door. It has never ftf or fte, shoots where you point it with great accuracy, is soooo simple to take down and clean. Like one post mentioned, built like a tank. Rumor has it that the military looked...

I carry mine on half cock with safety off in a pocket holster. The advantage is with the double action, then single action is you don't have to mess with disengaging the safety, your double action pull is heavier and the hammer is off the firing pin, so if you need immediate action you can pull...

Share the wealth, please I am shopping for a Savage 111 and would appreciate if you would share what model or part number DNZ one piece mount and rings you purchased. The picture looks like a really solid reliable mount system. Also, did you have any problems setting up eye relief and so...

Favorite guns 1. Remington 700 BDL bought in 1968, .30-06:cool: 2. Marlin Mdl 60 .22 LR, shoots all day for peanuts:D 3. Hi-point 9 mm Carbine with ATI stock, also cheap and fun to shoot :rolleyes: 4. Savage 300 Lever action is definitely an American Icon!!!:what: 5. Marlin XS7 in .308...

XS7 .308 Wonderful I bought this gun a couple months ago. I too have degenerative joint disease and am a 50% DV, due to it. The generous recoil pad on the marlin really soaks up the bang. When I finished sighting mine in, just wearing a T-shirt (99 deg. day), I didn't even hint at a...

SHusky57, did you make a decision yet? I own a 700 BDL that I bought in 1969 for a little over $100. :what: Academy here in Texas has the ADL with syn stock for $439. Mine is a .30-06 and still shoots very well and looks almost as good as it did the day I bought it. I recently purchased a...

Cougar Report I bought one a couple of months ago at Academy and absolutely love it ;). I bought the 8040, but am now thinking of buying an 8000 to plink with, since 9mm ammo is about 30% cheaper than .40. Out of the box, it shot circles around every thing else, I can't believe how accurate...

When ammo gets more readily available for my little .380, I will be pocket carrying it again soon. But for now, I am stuck lugging around a heavy .40 S&W which is difficult to conceal when you are walking around on 100 degree days in shorts and a T-Shirt. Now I will have to shop for one of...

Thanks bliksme300, I guess it will be another Cougar then. I love my 8040, but she has expensive appetite, so I will go for the 8000 and most likely have no buyer's remorse whatsoever. Thanks again for you kind and speedy reply.

I have a Turkish made Stoeger 8040 and love it. In reviewing the best 9mm web page http://www.best9mm.com/ I went to the review page for the CZ-75, which they rated #1 and I read the review http://www.gunweek.com/2006/feature0501.html on the CZ. I was considering buying a Cougar 8000, since I...
