I have a Kimber Eclipse and a Sig Carry Nightmare. I have to say my Kimber is not a run-of-the-mill example. It required the break in ritual of a few hundred rounds, and it has been perfect ever since. I have not ever shot a pistol that could beat it in accuracy. The build quality is...

To be fair, my USP 45 has never missed a beat from day one. But, it has no more than 2,000 rounds through it. Pretty accurate though.

When I bought my Eclipse, I was aware that they do not function well right out of the box. Every friend that I know who has a Kimber has had to go through the 200-500 round break in period (to extrapolate on this, my father, who spent his career in government service overseas, never relied on a...

I bought an Eclipse in 2006 and it became my CCW. When i lived in Memphis I practiced with it several times a month, 200-500 rounds each time. Once it got past the break in period, it has been perfect with the exception of needing a new barrel now at 10,000+ rounds. I speak for no one but...

Gotta love NH I am a Georgia native who has lived in NH for 7 years. In GA, it took me 4 weeks to get my permit to carry, and the probate judge knew me from birth. In NH, I walked into the police department, the chief said hello, come back tomorrow, and the next day I was legal. NH...

I have owned or extensively used all of the main players. The two I love the most (and would bet my life on) are the HK-91 and the DSA FAL. Hands down they are the top choices for me.

Coosbaycreep: "Nationalism is second only to religion for the amount of death and destruction it has caused throughout history." Oh? Is religion the main cause of death throughout history? I don't believe religion was the killer when the two most effective death dealers in history, the Soviet...

My most unreliable was a CZ P01. It could not be made to reliably feed/extract/fire more than 6 rounds in a row without coming to a screeching halt. I sent it back to CZ, and even they could not get it working as it should. I sold it to a friend who knew what he was getting, and even his...

HK, without a doubt. The only line of weapons that I have never, ever had a malfunction. Not one.

Here in Memphis, if you take a CCW course at Rangemasters you get one of their stickers, suitable for the car. Understated but identifiable, everyone here knows that it means the person has training at a good range. I don't think anyone with one has been carjacked.

I had an HK 91 and sold it years ago. Stupid move. I have a DSA rifle on order, but I have a question about the PTR 91. What does "Navy type polymer trigger group" mean? What is polymer on the trigger group?

Would that the Constitution held in as high regard as the flag.

I can't believe no one has mentioned... New Hampshire. There is NO state more gun friendly than NH. The people are the best (and that's a lot coming from a died-in-the-wool Southerner), the pace of life is the best, the cigar stores are the best (Castro's Back Room, I miss you!), the hunting...

I have had 1 course from Tom at Rangemaster, and he does an excellent job of getting you to perform as you should. Clear and to the point. I plan on taking the other 2 courses they offer.

Takhtakaal, Hey, thanks for the tip, buddy! Next time I need to know if something is true or not, I'll try to find an aboriginal tribesman in the remote Australian outback! Do you think that he might be able to help my son with his calculus? By the way, you may want to spellcheck...
