    70's and 80's vintage tactics.

    Let me start off by letting you all know why I want to know what I do. I'm a comic writer/illustrator who is concerned with realism. After seven years of research, much of it hands-on, I feel I have a decent grasp of how to draw proper, modern tactics. This board helped me with that. Then...

    Am I insane?

    Or is it normal to go and buy a box of Speer Gold Dot 9mm's on your 21'st birthday? The alcohol thing, yeah, that's all well and good, but I'm more excited about being able to give my Jericho a proper meal. Is this normal? Also, what did you fellas get on your 21'st, ammo and/or handgun...

    Gun art.

    Considering that this forum is owned by a gun phtographer (And a damn fine one if I do say so myself), I believe that a thread containing artfully-constructed photographs/paintings/drawings of firearms, or firearms which stand out as particularly pleasing in the looks department should exist at...

    Texas CHL holders, I call on you again.

    I've heard that this is true, and the language in the legal document, while vague, lead me to believe this. In Texas, if you go through all the red tape and pay the fees for a CHL, whatever type of handgun (Revolver or automatic.) you qualify with is what you must carry. Someone with an...

    Handgun family trees.

    I'm not sure about most gun owners, but I for one enjoy tracing the lineage of my pistols back to their roots. For example, my Israeli Jericho 941 is the sister of the Italian Tanfoglio family of handguns, which is descended from the Czechoslovakian CZ75, which in turn is (theoretically) a...

    Texas CHL holders, I need assistance...

    I know one can apply for a CHL online now, and the nearest range offers proficiency courses for 150 bones, but how much is the actual application fee? The FAQ on the website was less than helpful, and I can't find out without giving up my SSN and my life history over a non-secure connection...

    Handguns in the home: A question of legality.

    This is a simple, straight forward question. Is it legal, in the state of Texas, for a person over the age of 18 but under the age of 21, living on their own, to keep a handgun given to them by their parents in the home? Not carried on the person, not in a car, but in their home. If so...

    Springfield Micro Compact questions.

    Alright, so Charter Bulldogs rattling themselves apart or slipping out of time scared the **** out of me, so I decided to consider something else, something familiar, something Springfield. I have fired Springfield 1911's and XD's before and am satisfied with their quality. By satisfied I...

    Charter Arms Bulldog questions.

    I am considering a Charter 2000 Bulldog in .44 Special as a CCW. I have two months before I can start the process there, so I am taking full advantage of this time. First off, and this one is geared toward owners, Is the Bulldog, with factory grips, hideable at all when worn crossdraw IWB...

    Shooting under cars?

    Call this research. I'm a comic artist, and in one scene taking place inside a parking garage, a horde of two-gunning, ill-trained mafiosos pile out of a van and open fire on our hero, who returns fire with a 9mm buzzgun. Many take refuge behind said van, and our friendly protagonist begins...

    Heat: The enemy of concealed carry.

    Alright. Long time reader here, and by long time I mean about three years, but this is my first post. First impression time. I am attempting to circumvent the need to blow my cash on a compact auto or snub-nose revolver and figure out some way to hide my existing weapons. The problem...
