    Talk me out of a Sig P232!

    Try to shoot one first, a lot of people get slide bite, as noted above. Lonestar, you take the best pics.

    Owners' Poll - 3G Millennium Pro

    Really, THR members should be able to report a problem with their Millennium Pros without being labeled as bashers. Folks, too many buyers of these guns are having problems. Yes, they are marvelous when they work. When they work. So let's cut through the smoke, shall we? Let's see how many...

    Range Report: Taurus PT111 Millennium Pro

    Yes, I have a problem with the slide not going into battery and have had 2 kabooms with some lovely backspray, but no damage. The 111 shoots tight groups, has a great trigger and I love it, but rapid fire is out of the question, as is CCW. It is essential with my gun to make sure it goes into...

    Glock + Arthritis=Hard time

    My Dad gets arthritis flare-ups and at those times he takes Yin Chaio Classic, a Chinese herbal supplement which is available a lot of places. I think Dr. Shen's website has it, and it is commonly available in good health food or supplement stores, but probably not GNC. He gets amazing results...

    Are children safer with a gun in the house?

    The book Freakonomics noted that, statistically, a swimming pool in the back yard is far more dangerous to children than a loaded gun in the house.

    "Modern" auto's pro's/cons

    1911 - the grip, the balance, the trigger, the pure mechanical beauty of it. It ain't perfect, although Ted Szabo was getting it there... Best is ridiculous when it comes to pistols, might as well have a shootout over the best flavor of ice cream. The 1911 isn't going anywhere. Even when...

    Shot my PT140 Millenium Pro

    My PT111 is dead accurate - as accurate as the CZ97B, which is saying something, even with gun show ammo.

    what to do with a davis industries P380?

    In Florida, the 3-day wait on a handgun purchase can be avoided if you trade in another handgun (CCW permit works for this, also). They would probably give you $100 for it on a good gun, maybe only $50. If it has sentimental value, keep it, but if that was the case, you probably would not...

    Sig P220, CZ97b, or 1911 Springfield Milspec?

    Lonestar, are those factory grips on the 220?

    Sig P220, CZ97b, or 1911 Springfield Milspec?

    You didn't say what it was for, but you want a keeper and the CZ is that. The recoil is very sweet due to the weight, but it probably won't be the CCW gun. Accuracy is extremely good, even on first (DA) shot. I can hit with it as well as my Kimber Classic I. Good mag capacity. Small to medium...

    Starting new website for firearm owners, need some help from THR'ers

    There are a lot of sites like that, from Chuck Hawks to you name it. One that is a lot of fun is the Box O'Truth site - fun to read and they obviously have a ball o'fun doing it.

    Straw Purchase: What would you do?

    So, what if... Many posters are focused on the "rightness" of the OP's behavior, I think to great extent b/c it seems to have caused no harm. Suppose the gunshop guy had NOT known who the couple were? Suppose the lady DID try to buy a gun, and the salesguy rang for a cop? Suppose the cop...

    plastic pistols

    R&D, There are many threads discussing these pistols, and the search tool will pull them up. There must be about 5,000 XD vs. Glock threads. Also, see the Archive link at the bottom of the forums page. Taurus is highly respected (or roundly despised) and the 24/7 is esteemed (demonized) on...

    Hi! My name is Mike and I am addicted to Taurus

    I have the MillPro PT111 (3G) and like it, though the the grip is too small. The slip-on helps, but it still feels like I'm holding a pencil. Good gun, though. I have a real problem with the 24/7's looks, but love the feel of the grip - very ambivalent. The value, though, is very hard to beat...

    Accidental discharge?

    Negligent discharge? Sure, all the time... Oh wait, you meant with FIREARMS?!?!? Only once. Had finger on the trigger while checking out a vacant rental property that I thought had an unwelcome intruder. Forgot Rule #1. I must have been more stressed than I thought. I was alone, thank God...
