I like to take pictures. I visit photography forums, and like this forum, there is always a debate about what sensor works the best, and who makes the finest lens. There are folks who actually take pictures of brick walls and newspaper text to measure straightness and sharpness, and all the...

I bought a new Glock 23. I'd like some night sights because, well, just because. I don't have any exposure to night sights. Anyone have a recommendation?

I interviewed for a parole officer job this week. They issue Glock 23s. You can carry any any 40 S&W, so long as the weapons officer okays it. I need your thoughts on a gun in 40 caliber for use as a concealed carry duty pistol. I'm thinking Glock 27, maybe a CZ P-06, M&P Compact...

Found a decent deal at my local gun shop for some 9mm hard cast lead bullets. With Unique, I've been getting some bore leading. Its a pain to clean the stuff out, and I don't feel like using gas checks. I read an article about using Herco for low to medium velocity loads, because the burn...

I looked at a couple of threads tonite, and I keep seeing a couple of terms repeated - energy dump and energy transfer. I thought these ideas were debunked in the mid 1990's? Bad guys do not fall down because one bullet has more kinetic energy than another bullet. Kinetic energy, also...

Millenium Pro 3rd Generation. Light cleaning and rail lube and then to the range. First 214 rounds - mixed ball and hollow point, 20 25 failures to fire. Light dimpled primer. I put the dimpled rounds in my CZ -P01 and they fired every time, without fail. I like the size of the PT111 -...

I'm giving serious thought to carrying a Smith & Wesson Single Stack 9mm as a CCW pistol. Something like a 3917 or a variant. Less than ten rounds to be sure, but thin, with great ergos. Do you carry one? I know that are a bunch of single stack S&W pistol models. Any suggestions of...

I'm getting a home equity loan, and I've decided I want a high end stainless steel carry pistol. I'm looking for some help here - money is not really an issue, so let's get creative on this one. The only requirement is that its reasonably carry friendly IWB or OWB (probably 32 ounces, and 5"...

I was at an IDPA match this morning. We all heard a round go off in the parking area. No injuries (thankfully). We all kinda looked at each other with our eyebrows raised. The unspoken sentiment was, "What a bleeping moron." I don't know who did it, but I gotta think the guy felt pretty...

I've been looking at all the comparison threads, and one thing stands out. A lot of them don't compare pistols of similar size, capacity, action, barrel length, price range, etc. So, it makes it more difficult to evaluate weapon against weapon. You cannot put Secretariat next to a zebra, and...

I like OWB. Yeah, I know - you hate OWB. But I'm a big guy with no waist, so it needs to be OWB, belly or shoulder. Belly and shoulder rigs have already been obtained. I like Kydex OWB because its fast, inexpensive and easy to acquire. My carry guns are primarily CZ's. A 75B and a P-01. My...

Looks good on paper. Any thoughts?

Went to Wal-Mart today and bought a Garrity 9 LED light. Its small, bright, has a lanyard, a rear push-button on/off switch, and best of all - its under $10.00. I tried it out, and while its no Sure Fire - its a pretty good little bedside light. It runs for 60 hours on 3 AAA batteries. It...

I've got some stubborn leading in a 9mm barrel. I bought some Hoppe's, but I'm not sure how to use it (or if its even the right thing for lead fouling). How do I use it? Is there a better way to delead a barrel? Thanks - Gary

I've got a Rossi 357 mag snub that I keep as a bedside home defense gun. Its got a stiff double action pull, but is reliable and accurate. Should I hang onto it, or swap it for a 4 inch revolver for IDPA? If I swap, which 4 inch should I use for IDPA? Your opinions are wanted and...

I've got a new CZ P-01 that I plan to use as a concealed carry gun. Here a link to the factory specs if anyone is interested http://czusa.com/product_detail.php?id=28 I'm waiting for the Arkansas State Police to process my concealed handgun permit. In the meantime, I'm thinking about...

Its been a long week, waiting to get my new P-01 to the range. My son and I took my 75B, the P-01 and a Bersa Thunder 380. As expected, the P-01 digested everything we put into it. It cycled cleanly, and followup shots were easily brought back onto the target. I shot one-handed, two-handed...

... from Academy Sports. Its a 9mm compact, with an allloy frame, hammer forged barrel and two 14 round magazines. The recoil spring is flat wound, which is a little different than my CZ 75B. The decocker is better designed than the one on my Bersa Thunder 380. It pivots clockwise...

I've got a Rossi R462 Stainless revolver, 6 shot 357 magnum. It has a two inch barrel with non-adjustable sights. I'm looking for a leather concealment holster that permits one handed reholstering. Been looking and I haven't found much that's designed for this gun. Anybody have any...

I was looking at a thread about Hi-Point pistols. Plenty of comments by people who've never owned or shot one, but claim to know everything about em. I've owned and fired Smith & Wesson, Ruger, CZ, Savage, Rossi, Bersa, Marlin, and yes, Hi-Point. I have also used Springfields, STI's, Colts...
