    New H&K USPC .45! Cocked and Locked Question

    New H&K USP Compact .45 ACP (Variant 1) I have been drooling all over this gun since I shot one about a year ago. What a great gun, and what a sweet trigger! I have been carrying Glocks for so long that I have a question about carrying C&L. I tend to keep my carry gun with me, and then...

    I have to get over having a pretty target

    At home when I practice dry-fire I can draw and shoot quickly and easily. I just got back from the range. 150 rounds mostly at 15 yards through a hole that blows about 4 inches out of the middle of my target. Here's the thing, when I'm actually shooting at something I know I hesitate as...

    Sore Knuckle After Draw-and-Shoot Shooting

    OK, I can shoot all day long without any damage to my hands, BUT when I practice draw-and-shoot I often wear a nasty sore spot into my strong-hand nuckle on my thumb after 50 draws or so (the big joint at the base of my thumb). Obviously this is happening because when I draw the gun from the...

    So What's a GROUP Anyway?

    Just curious about the general sentiment so I can get my bragging rights stated correctly. :) Example: If I put 9 holes within 3/4 inch but the 10th is a flyer 4 inches high from the group, what is my official group size, 3/4" or 4" ??? Typical scenario, and my wife will never cut me...

    Aro-Tek Glock 36 Slide Stop Extension

    Please don't flame for cross posting with GT, but there was a discussion here a few weeks ago about this part, and as a Glock shooter I really want to post this there. Yes, I said a slide stop extension for the G36. I have searched for this thing, and finally discovered it at Aro-Tek. I'd...

    TEXAS CHL Renewal in 4 Weeks!

    My CHL was good until November. I took the Renewal Class Wednesday, June 29. Finally got around to mailing the packet on Tuesday, July 5. I got the CHL card in the mail today. Four weeks + 1 day. Not bad! :D :D ChickenHawk

    Fobus Universal Home and Vehicle Mount

    Is anybody using one of these? It's designed to mount one of the Fobus roto-holsters under a table or in a car (which is what I want). I'd like to install it in the center console of my Ford Escape. I'm concerned because it uses sheet metal screws to secure it to 'whatever' and the center...

    Shooting with Both Eyes Open

    Well, after reading a few discussions about this I decided to train myself to shoot with both eyes open. My main motivation was simply that after shooting a few hundred rounds my left eye got tired of being squinted shut and THAT affected my shooting. I've made four range trips over the...

    Gun Pictures and Serial Numbers

    I sent a gun picture to a buddy recently who commented on needing to edit the pic to hide the serial number. I've seen mention of that in threads here as well, but never understood the real reason. Now, just so you understand, I'm one of those guys who puts every piece of junk mail or...

    Another Bersa Thunder .380 Question - Sights

    First of all, the Bersa sights are pretty darn nice. But ... My favorite sights are my Meprolights ... which are on my Glocks. I'd love to have similar sights (or some decent night sights) on my Bersa Thunder.380 but can't seem to find any alternatives by searching the web. In fact, I...

    Bersa Thunder Won't Slide Lock

    Well, not reliably anyway. Some background: Bersa Thunder .380 with 3 factory Bersa 7-round magazines; I've had the gun for about 1 1/2 months and have shot about 1000 rounds through it. I clean it after every trip to the range. Lately, I've been shooting mostly Armscor Precision 95...

    New Holster for Bersa Thunder .380

    It's taken me a month to decide, but I was checking out holsters at the Austin Gun Show and I picked up a Bianchi Model 100 for my Bersa Thunder .380. My original thoughts were that I'd stay away from leather because I hate breaking in leather holsters, but this fits so well the gun was easy...

    The Chicken at GSSF - San Antonio

    My second time at a GSSF match. That is such GREAT fun. This one was at Blackhawk Shooting Range, south of San Antonio, Texas. I usually shoot at an indoor range near Austin (attempting to minimize the walking requirement), but this looked like a pretty nice outdoor range. Very nicely laid...

    The Chicken Report - Bursa Thunder .380

    Bursa Thunder .380 DA/SA semi-auto (Duo-tone). Stock sights are 3-dot with adjustable rear sight. Sells for about $200.00 in most stores (when you can find it) but comes with only one magazine. The first thing I did was buy a spare mag ($30.00). Magazine holds 7 rounds. Well, as a...

    The Chicken Gets His Bersa Thunder .380

    I've been searching for this gun in Duo-tone for over a month. Today I went to the Austin Saxet Gun Show and saw 3 of them NIB. Cigars for everybody! :D They ship them pretty heavily oiled, so I'm going to spiff it up and hit the range tomorrow. I bought some .380 snap caps, and I'll...

    Holster Recommendations for Bersa Thunder .380

    Can anyone make a holster recommendation for a Bersa Thunder .380 ? I was hoping for a Kydex, but they don't seem to make one that would fit. I want an IWB (will wear at 4:00) not-leather holster. Suggestions? Thanks, ChickenHawk

    Is it the White Box or is it me?

    I like to buy the 100 round value packs of 9mm (at Wal-Mart). Every time I shoot a box I have an extra round left over after loading my final 10 round magazine. I went to the range today and shot 2 boxes. Happened again. Both times. I count while loading each magazine, and usually...

    Bersa Web Site?

    The answer is probably self-evident, but does anybody know of an official web site for Bersa handguns that actually has some useful info on it? Web searches reveal: http://www.bersa-llama.com/bersa_about.html and http://www.bersa-sa.com.ar/bersa.asp but these are both really...

    Another Good Kel-Tec Story

    I've got somewhere between 1200- and 1500 rounds through my P32, and it started to misfire here and there (i.e. goes click but not bang). I sent it in to Kel-Tec where they replaced the extractor spring, trigger assembly and who knows what else. I can't decide if this is my original frame or...
