    Teflon bullets and my USP...

    Hello, all! :D Yesterday, I participated in a 4-stage steel plate shootfest, and brought along the usual lead loads, and a box of teflon coated bullets I recently discovered. The coated bullets were pretty accurate, (as in if I did my part, a 6" plate at 15 mtrs is history :D), but...

    I think I'll have my first 1911... But why am I not elated

    Hi, all! :) It's gunshow time in Manila, and the thing is, I know I've been yapping about getting my first slabside ever since the TFL days. Well, I think I got over the edge this time. As usual, the show was awash with overpriced whateverumaycallit 1911-types :D:D:D. But one caught my...

    Pitting inside Barrel: How 'bad' is bad?

    Howyerall!! :D I saw this USP9 BarSto barrel at a nearby shop. Guess that, if I were to save the original polygonal HK barrel (been using a lot of lead, you know...), might as well invest in a standard rifled beater barrel. Externally, the BarSto looks in excellent condition. Glanced...

    The Arabian VIPER... Any good???

    Saw one at auction for $120. May make for a good HD back-up or toolbox gun... 8 rds of 38super or 9mm. I think there's a barrel change option... Anybody with experience with this? Most probably those who've been assigned in the Mid-east one time or another... Wud appreciate...

    Why '1911'???? Others have names, not dates...

    Very odd... :confused: Here's a pistol which probably has the most rabid following of all gun designs, yet has no formal name!!! What gives???!!! There's the Hi-Power, the Luger, the Pee-Pee-Khay, the Hi-Point (say what??!! :uhoh: ;))... Could I call my USP '1999' then...

    If U only had a gun, would you have done this?

    I just had to make this gun-related, so here goes: http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Central/05/02/climber.amputation.ap/index.html Would a gun shot at the elbow be 'less painful', considering it could have been more sudden? :( ouch!!!

    Gunshow find! The hope (?) of Taurus polymer : New PT 640

    "Well, well, another gunshow.... might as well take a look. Something different might yet surprise me..." I said to myself, not expecting much after that controversial decision by the Philippine President to practically ban CCW for civilians (prove first that a "death" threat exists before a...

    Nominate "Dirty Harry" successor

    No doubt about it: I just love to watch Clint play "Dirty Harry"! :D Sadly but expectedly, Father Time has finally caught up with our beloved icon. I believe it's about time we look for a worthy successor... Who among the current crop of actors is the most eligible to take over and...

    35,000 psi .45 cal bullet?

    Hello, all! ;) All this talk about a 45Glock suddenly made me wonder: Why all the fuss? Higher pressure does not a 45 make? Is the 45 doomed to wallow in sub 20 kpsi? But more importantly: Is there such a beast? :confused: If there aren't any, how do you think it would do...
