    H & K sues GSG and American Tactical

    GSG is probably selling more of those baby MP's than HK is selling MP5's........ It always comes down to $$$$$$$$............

    How have/haven't you changed your behavior in response to the economic downturn

    I am locking things up a little tighter and taking the extra time to secure things better (added locking gas caps to the vehicles as well), as break-ins and petty theft are on the rise. Since my current employment will be in doubt after the first of the year, I am holding on to some more cash...

    USDOJ police response times

    Depends on the nature of the call: "I just shot someone breaking into my house": 5 min max (and in 10 minutes you will have no less than a dozen officers) "Someone's breaking into my house": 15+ min and then only one officer :confused:

    What Gun for Arming the Helpless? A Different Sort of Hypothetical

    Pilgrim and the foot pretty well hit the nail on the head on the first page...... Those that want to have firearms, will do what they need to to get them....and be the ones that keep them. Sure make the training available....and even make it available for free....but the people who really want...

    Why are HK 33 mags so expensive?

    The G3 was widely fielded by a number of nations.....as a result G3 mags were made in mass quantities in a number of places, as a result they can be found for fairly low prices (and they are typically not made by HK). The HK33 was far less widely fielded (meaning less rifles to begin with) so...

    Need help - will USGI MOLLE gear work with FAL mags?

    Blackhawk and Diamond Back make MOLLE pouches for the M14 and/or SR25 magazines. These should attach securely to your vest, and handle the FAL mags fine.

    what type of handgun design is better in .45?

    The 1911 is the venerable design in .45acp. 100 years from now you will likely have trouble finding parts for your HK, Sig, M&P, etc....but I can bet there will still be plenty of 1911 parts to be found. It is a design (love it or not) that is not going away. There is too much that you can do...

    Best gun never made

    This first one has already been mentioned, but: .45acp version of the HK P7 (I believe it is the P7M7).....it never got beyond the limited edition prototype stage, but I would buy one if they were in production. .45acp version of the HK P2000SK, a subcompact .45acp, something substantially...

    Review: HK 45

    On the question of the tritium sights: Tooltech does custom work for Trijicon. They worked on the stock sights of my USP45 Tac, adding bars in the rear and a dot in the front. They looked 100% factory. Their work is world class.....many top notch competitive shooters use them as well. On...

    h&k Mark 23 - .45 ACP

    The Mk23 is a beast....and that size helps soak up the .45 recoil......but the grip is on the larger size, so not everyone can grip it properly. The HK USP45 has a little more felt recoil....and a slightly smaller grip. It is my favorite pistol, since I shoot it well. The compact version...

    frige for a gun safe?

    Most fridges have outside hinges.....which make them easy to knock off/pry off to get at what is inside. Just something to think about.

    ACU vs MultiCam vs OD / Ranger Green

    I used to be a big fan of being all comoed up.....and it did serve it's purpose at the time. Now that I am more discreet and low key with what I am doing, I have found that OD/Ranger Green and Coyote Brown in combo seem to be the best bet in just about any type of non "sandbox" climate...

    Long Shot: Man finds rifle his dad used in Korea

    From Associated Press September 20, 2008 9:06 PM EDT I saw this on the news today....and thought you all might find this interesting: DAVISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. - As gifts go, Jim Richardson's choice for his father's 79th birthday was a long shot. Virgil Richardson fondly remembered the...

    HK vs. Sig :evil:

    The beauty of CHOICES ! I have owned an HK USP45 for many years. I have been very happy with the pistol, and it shoots better than I can make it shoot. I take it out and shoot it a lot, and in a variety of conditions and situations, and it has never been anything less than 100% reliable. I...

    How about Glaser Safety Slugs?

    I have fired Glaser Blue .45 acp rounds into an automobile door from 10 yards. A dent and a blue mark from each shot. No penetration. The Federal Hydra Shock .45s went through the door, expanded and some even penetrated the door on the other side (the others put some obvious dents in the...

    Heckler & Koch H & K's .45s: USP: Standard, Tactical, Match, Elite USP Compact & Compact Tactical HK45 HK45 Compact and of course the venerable P9/P9S All are solid, reliable performers..........

    How far do gunshot sounds travel?

    I can hear shooters working out at a range that is near the shoreline.....even when I am over three miles away over water.

    What is the general consensus on the HK USP compact?

    The USP series (both full size and compact) has been nothing less than 100% reliable for me. I have thousands of rounds through both the USP & USP compact, 0 failures. I have trusted my life to these pistols. 100 % Reliability (with very little care) is a very desirable for a carry weapon. I...

    +p In 45acp Do You Realy Need?

    I think the +p loading in .45 is probably best for the shorter barreled handguns. The 230gr loading was designed around the 5" barrel 1911. Current HP rounds are designed to expand reliably at the velocities you get coming out of the "standard": a 4.5" to 5" barrel. To get good expansion from...

    does anybody leave guns stock?

    Tritium night sights are my "must have" for my weapons. So if they do not come stock....they get added on after.
