    The best value in a new 9mm handgun today.

    Heresy alert ... The new Taurus Millenium Pro pistols, the ones with the 24/7 Pro trigger, are pretty amazing, and they also get great reviews from owners. People still tend to judge them by the awful original Millenium pistols, which had an atrocious trigger and frame-cracking problems, but...

    Anyone switch to manual safeties after you have kids?

    My target / plinking guns are covered. They're stored securely, unloaded. It's my carry gun & bedside safe gun that I'm discussing, really. And I'm not going to leave that one with an empty chamber ... if someone breaks in during the night, I don't want to have to remember to rack the slide ...

    Anyone switch to manual safeties after you have kids?

    Agreed. And my guns are always either locked up or on me. And my daughter will be raised to know about guns and gun safety. But ... people make mistakes. It's easy to say "Well, just don't make mistakes." But we do make mistakes, even the best of us. I've just about decided against manual...

    Anyone switch to manual safeties after you have kids?

    Hey, Ugaarguy, Thanks for that link. That's a really amazing site, and it's one I'm going to share with my wife (who is curious about shooting). Thanks very much for the thoughtful and helpful reply. Liam p.s. Thanks for the congratulations! The 'baby' is now 17 months old, so not...

    Anyone switch to manual safeties after you have kids?

    Hey, all, Just wondering ... My first handgun was a 1911, but since then I have owned some Glocks, then switched over to decocker TDA pistols, primarily Sigs. With a baby now, I've thought of switching back to a gun with a manual external safety ... you know, just in case I ever do...

    SIG DAK

    The Sig DAK is a lot like the Para Ordnance LDA trigger, a light DA trigger that has a full reset (i.e., the trigger has to return all the way to the front before you can fire again). Personally, because of the trigger reset, I prefer their traditional DA/SA trigger. I also prefer the HK LEM...

    Another Taurus Millenium Pro PT111 thread: new SA/DA trigger

    Hey, y'all, I haven't posted here in ages, but I just bought the same gun from this post http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=203552, also from a Sportsman's Warehouse store. All 4 of the Millenium Pros I handled today had the new SA / DA trigger from the 24/7 Pro! It feels similar to...

    HK p7m8: pros and cons?

    I'm interested in your opinions on the p7m8. I held and dry-fired one of these the other day, after wanting one for many years. I love the trigger, and the gun feels very good in my hand. I'm considering buying it, but have a few pros and cons, and would just like more input. I've searched...

    Some S&W semiauto questions

    Hi, folks -- I also posted these questions over at the S&W forum, but it's a fairly low-traffic site (but a good one!), so I thought I'd try here. 1) what is the grip thickness of the 2nd generation compact double-stacks (the 469 and 669) like? I seem to remember seeing a post somewhere...

    His and Her Firestorms!

    Hey, Prv8ter -- If you don't mind my asking, what gunshop(s) do you go to around Poulsbo? I live nearby in Kingston, but haven't really checked out the local shops (work in Seattle, so go to some Seattle shops, and down to Bullseye in Tacoma). Do any of the local shops have good...

    XD9 Subcompact range report.

    Glad you like the XD sub! I love mine ... As far as holsters go, FIST makes all of their holsters for the XD9 sub (they call it the XD9 Compact). See http://www.gunnersalley.com, the dealer I got mine from. They have great service and cheaper prices than buying direct from FIST. I got a...

    Any other XD fans here?

    Hello from yet another newbie ... I love my XD9 sub. I used to have a Glock 26, and love that pistol as well. As far as getting three fingers on the grip of the XD sub, I'd have to say ... "Almost." The pinky doesn't quite fit, but there's more room than on the g26. The pinky, for me...
