• Possible Downtime Alert

    I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.

    When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.

    More information is available in this thread.

    As always, thanks so much for your patience.

    Anyone have an opinion of Sellier & Bellot 9mm?

    155 or 115 grain? S&B is one of the few easily found ammo brands here, due mainly to the fact that we have a first class CZ importer who also imports the Czech ammunition as well. I´ve been through 4 boxes of the 115 grain FMJ and it feels strong and consistent in my 75 Compact.

    Vu Kim Son 1911 Grips

    After reading the conclusions that he abandoned customers and split the scene, I used the "contact" feature on his site and submitted a trouble ticket basically asking if he was still in business. It took a couple of weeks, but I received this reply yesterday: Dear Mr. [Roswell_Kid], We...

    Taurus TCP range report

    But still a Brazilian company. Not arguing point of product origin, but where the corporate HQ resides. Seems to make a big difference to the powers that be here who dictate import tax rates, and therefore to our end-user prices. No, there is no logic to it. :)

    Taurus TCP range report

    Thanks for starting this thread Aahzz. Great reviews. I am shopping a pocket .380 and being a Brazilian product, the Taurus is far less expensive here than US models. I had this prejudice against Taurus but going through this thread it is hard to justify keeping that attitude. Any other TCP...

    Pictures: CZ-75 In Digital Camo

    Wow! I saw your pics and immediately Rick James´ signature tune started playing in my head. So very... different! As schmeky said: "Yea, ain't that comp hammer amazing?" Ditto! For whatever reason, being "run hard and put away wet" is an existence that seems to fit the CZ 75. Like a good...

    It´s really quite simple. An application of gun control that really works: Airline travel. Not even in Guatemala are you going to be able to board a passenger jet carrying a firearm, period. Why is airline travel gun control so effective? Because airports have become extremely controlled...

    Good info, kokapelli, thanks. I am still drooling and the temptation is getting hard to resist.

    Do You Patronize Your Local Gun Shops?

    Yep, because there is no choice. And what a vast array of local dealers we have. <cough> Not enough ammo variety? "Obscene" $200 markups? Have to pay an FFL transfer fee for an internet purchase? That we should have such "problems"!

    Yes Sky, Switzerland is widely used as an example of a permissive gun ownership, low violent crime society. Nevertheless, they are fighting their own battles to retain their liberty, for example: http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/politics/Parliament_rejects_tougher_gun_laws.html?cid=9126536 "Mr...

    Need help choosing a .45acp carry gun

    If you have a traditionalist orientation, you might check out the little Springfield 1911 GI Micro Compact. All steel, parkerized (looks better as holster wear accumulates :D), no-nonsense and not expensive. I have to find a way to get one of those down here.

    East European tough-girl develops finesse, style

    I´m with you Deaf, tekarra and bds. The trigger guard should be a roundy. IMO the can opener trigger guard fad should have long since gone the way of the beehive hairdo. If squared off serrated trigger guards offer a shooting advantage, why aren´t they found on contemporary revolvers?

    Won a pretty Mauser Broomhandle C96 on its way

    "'Pull it farther back and let it snap lightly forward,' the civil said, and I have never heard such a tone of voice. It was grayer than a morning without sunrise. "Pablo pulled and let go as the man had told him and the block snapped forward into place and the pistol was cocked with the hammer...

    Ammunition amnesty?

    What Mdeng said. Same experience - a buddy of mine "found himself" with a live grenade some time back. This is a great, no hassle way to get rid of such things.

    Good luck with my Sig P238

    I am REALLY glad to read your post, aryfrosty. I have been wanting a small pocket carry for a while now and cannot tear myself away from being enamored with the little 238. Maybe, just maybe, they have got it right now.

    CZ-75 Trigger questions

    One other quick caution - Please note that the illustrated trigger jobs on the CZ forums and elsewhere are excellent but assume that you will retain the original hammer. They instruct removing a significant amount of stock from the trigger sear and altering its angle somewhat. The competition...

    East European tough-girl develops finesse, style

    The all-steel CZ Compact showed itself out of the box to be impressively accurate but, to put it generously, "unrefined." DA trigger pull was really pull - Farmer Brown thick wrist required. "Creep" better described as "jumps." Single action positive engagement that was so visibly obvious as to...
