Moved to TX from a Constitutional Carry state (NH) - Frankly, I find the TX standards to carry kind of silly and meanwhile in NH post passing of Constitutional Carry there hasn't been 'the blood in the streets' that many (largely Dem) lawmakers were claiming - people generally self-governed just...

I have two CZ-75Bs in my collection - one is a daily carry and the other, well come on, when a gun is this good you just need another. I'm looking to add a 97B to my collection and eventually a 750 sniper. Great company, great guns, but I do still keep a diversified collection (Beretta...

The only one that I own/shoot that might be considered rare is 7.7x58mm Jap. Hornady and Norma both still do limited runs of it though.

I'm patient for the most part, however, having said that though I did buy one box of CCI Mini-Mag for nearly 2x pricing. My excuse for that is that was I had a date I was bringing to the range that day and wanted to grab an extra box... >_>

Its a kind of litmus test for me, however I do carefully ease into the topic. ^_^ Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Rather than type out the long explanation, I'll let TechCrunch do it: http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/16/nra-facebook-page-down/ From the article: I personally don't use facebook and it sounds like simply disabling comments may not have been enough in this case.

Apologies for not reading the /entire/ thread here, however, I wanted to respond to some of the crazy concessions I've seen proposed (in this thread and else where; if someone else already mentioned this, my bad for not reading the entire thread ^_^). Lets take a hypothetical position of...

I own and sometimes carry an older stainless P230. Personally I love it - accurate, manageable recoil in a .380, and just the right size to carry out into crowded locations. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The problem with that question is that unless it occurs most people will never fully grasp what it really means. Even if it did occur, many people would feel content within it. It appears to me that a good bulk of people buy into the security theater that we put on at places like airports...

I have one in my 75B (and Beretta 92FS Inox). Both have been great so far. One thing to keep in mind, as the first reply says, do not put one in if you have a model with a aluminum frame. The steel rods will destroy them over time. In the all steel pistols though they're fine, in fact...

Traditionally my summer carry is usually my CZ-75B. Though I do now have a Sig P230 that I'm enjoying and might try that for some of the summer (if not as a backup gun anyway).

Recently brought a friend of mine to the range for her first time. She had a blast - shooting various handguns on the pistol range mostly and with some reasonable instruction she was hitting targets fairly consistently at various ranges. Anyway, she wanted to give my Arisaka a try on the...

I wrote my own that runs on a smallish server in my living room. Postgresql back end, using crypto on important fields directly, working on a PHP front end and its all running in a FreeBSD jail. Setup only to record firearms (manufacturer, model, serial number, photos, caliber, misc. notes...

Alright, I've got a situation I could some help with... So I've been trying to help a female friend of mine learn to shoot handguns with accuracy. She has some experience with long guns (shotguns specifically) having grown up on a farm, but not a huge amount. I know she has an obvious flinch...

I spent months looking for the 'right' small framed gun for carry. Didn't like the current generation of pocket guns. Wanted a PPK but only if I could get a blued one in .32 acp. Tried to find a CZ-82 (9x18) but no luck there (at least not one that I wanted to pick up). Finally, last month I...
