    Difference between 9mm and 45 ACP "irrelevant"!

    Honestly, I wouldn't stand in front of either one of them. :D Both are fun to use and both have great platforms from which to use them. Just my 2¢ Angelo

    sig 226 vs browning hi-power

    Ala Dan, I don't post a lot but I read THR quite often. I never thought I'd see the day when someone asks "what's your opinion, Sig or X company" and you DIDN'T say Sig:what: You're right though, either gun would be great to own. I just never thought I'd see the day......:D Angelo

    Handgun's Role in Military Combat

    Hi Shake! Nice to see you here! I have to agree with you about having a handgun. If anything, it's an easily carried back up. Cool pics too, thanks for posting them! Angelo (AVP on TFL)

    Cylinder timing question (with pics)>>

    Thanks! Yes, the pictures were taken at full lock-up. There is a very small amount of play but it goes in the wrong direction to fix the alignment. Actually, it doesn't really change much at all. I took it to a local gun shop (one I didn't buy it from go to no and then) today and they...

    Revolver timing question (pics)>>

    Thank you very much Badger Arms! I took it to a local gun shop today and they said the same as you. If it shaves lead there's a problem, if not then no worries. I'll try what you suggested and see if accuracy is any different compared to the other chambers. Thanks again! Angelo

    Revolver timing question (pics)>>

    After reading the "revolver check out" post, I noticed that the cylinder doesn't match up exactly with the barrel. It's less than a millimeter too far to the right. I have yet to fire this gun so I'm not sure if it will be a problem. The gun in question is a Ruger GP100 bought new from a trusted...

    What type of customization for my GP100?

    Night sights are something I do want. I like the ones Trijicon makes but they seem to be a lot more $$ for the GP100 than for any other gun on their price list. I wonder why that is? Some of you seem really happy with the Big-Dot front sight. Do you think there's an advantage with those over...

    What type of customization for my GP100?

    I have a GP-100 ss with 4" barrel (full lug). I was wondering what some good things to do for improved accuracy and/or reliability? I'm not familiar with many custom terms so please bear with me. Some things I was interested in knowing about are: Re-cut crown to 45 degrees and polish bore...

    What .45 would you recommend?

    Thanks a lot everyone! I went to my local gun shop yesterday thinking that the H&K USPc w/ss slide would be the one, but I'm not sure now. The reason why I'm not sure is the Sig 220ST! Man is that a sweet piece! The H&K is built rock solid and looks very cool, but the Sig is more comfortable...

    Grip inserts for a GP100

    Hello, I just ordered the "silver black" grip inserts from lett grips. While I'm waiting for them to arrive I was wondering if I could hunt down another, but different set. Ever since I saw Skunkabilly's Beretta with the carbon fiber grips I've wanted something like that for my Ruger. I'm...

    Springfield 1911A1 Milspec REVIEW

    Pico: I've heard that the 97b doesn't like hollow points all that much. Certain brands of ammo may work ok but CZ has said that the 97b was designed specifically for ball ammo. I'm not speaking from experience though, just what I've read on the boards. Angelo

    What .45 would you recommend?

    Thanks everyone, I'll look into the guns suggested and see what happens! I'm so happy to have found this site. After TFL closed I didn't know where to go. I was at 1911forums.com and saw a link to this great place:D Ruger357: Are you the same person I talked to on TFL about D&L...

    What .45 would you recommend?

    Thanks 10-Ring, I really do like those guns! It's definitely among my top choices. I'm not 100% set on ss but it would be a plus. A lot of people post that H&K's finish holds up well, so it might not be much of a concern with them. I like stainless steel because there's no coating to wear...

    What .45 would you recommend?

    Thanks guys! A friend of mine has a S&W 645 in ss he'll sell to me for $500. I've fired it before and enjoy it very much. I'm not sure what the original 645 had for features but his has a decocker (I believe that wasn't originally on that model), trigger job, smoothed out hammer (not sure...

    What .45 would you recommend?

    I'm looking for a stainless steel .45 for fun at the range. I've handled ss guns and the extra weight doesn't bother me much. With any luck, I'd like to keep the price around $600. My main concern is reliablity. I know any gun from any company can, and probably will, have some issue or...
