    I've officially reached the end of the Internet...

    Look at this. Federal's classic 9bp, now re-packaged 20 to the box, for over a buck a round. Old timers here will undoubtably know why I feel this way. :banghead: http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/product_info.php/pName/20rds-9mm-luger-federal-115gr-jhp-ammo

    Trivia (and practical) question on NYPD 3953

    So, a buddy of mine has the chance to get into an NYPD 3953 at a decent price, but is leery of the 12-lb trigger that they have. I don't know what the weight is on my own 3953, but it ain't no 12lbs. In fact, the DAO trigger is one of the best things about the 3953, for those that are into...

    I have a compelling urge for a hammerless J-frame...

    I don't need one. But that's not the point. I've always wanted a 2" centennial of some sort, and that's good enough. I do have a 3" 36-1, several snub K-frames, an SPNY and some small autos, so it's not so much filling a niche, as much as just getting a cool new carry piece. Which...

    Most reliable .22?

    Now that .22lr seems to be coming back online slowly, but surely, I am considering a plinking .22. I'd like it to be smaller than buckmark/Ruger ii-iii and bigger than 21/PT22. Thoughts on a piece that won't frustrate too much at the range, assuming ammo at the CCI HV level? Thanks in...

    In honor of both the "languishing" and "is 6 enough" threads...

    My latest pickup. The S&W 13-1 heavy barrel M&P in .357 magnum. She is one of the pinned-barrel and recessed-cylinder guns, and I had to have her. There is zero flame-cutting, and only a bit of muzzle love from a mystery holster detracts from *great* blueing. The turn line is mostly...

    here's sort of a cool vehicle defense idea...

    One of my forum buddies (trainer Matt Graham) put this short vid up for a couple of us to share with our significant others, and I thought it worth posting here just as an FYI, and to stir the creative juices for counter assault strategies in vehicle entry scenarios. Cheap insurance for loved...

    It's bad enough when Mossberg puts one of those mag plug dowels in a "tactical"...

    Shotgun marketed for home defense. No point; no black 18"er with a "stand off" breaching muzzle is going waterfowling. But Two? Come on, Mossberg, what the heck? And how do I get them out of my new shotty? No amount of shaking is going to get those two dowels out through the tube screw...

    The Beauty and the Beast: New Walthers from Shot 2013

    The beauty: PPK/S in .22lr. Not much to say there, except that it's back. :cool: The beast: PPX. Hammer fired weirdness. Walther nicks HiPoint? :evil:

    Price check: Blue 6" GP-100

    Former range rental gun, probably has a lot of rounds through it. That said, it's a GP: still looks practically brand new, cylinder locks up tight on all six, trigger action smoothed from use. $375 plus transfer and tax. Good? Thanks in advance.

    Quick heads-up for Seattle folks: Marc MacYoung

    Seminars. One in March, at FAS (Marty and Gila Hayes), a place that should need no introduction here, and one in Feb at West Seattle Karate, that I will briefly introduce by saying that the owner, Kris Wilder, is a friend of mine for more than 25 years. That school is billed as a traditional...

    Price check: Original recipe 640 in .357

    The pre-lock centennial J with the 2 1/8" barrel and the pinned in front sight. Super clean, from a buddy of mine who is ex-LE selling off some safe queens from his working days. I see them breaking 6 bills on GB, so I'm thinking that his offer ($500) is fair. Thoughts? I don't personally...

    Reaction time and "the Fence"

    ...or whatever you want to call it. If y'all haven't seen this video, it's worth a viewing. If you get bored (literally watching the point get beat half to death) before the 2:17 mark, forward there for the rest of the lesson with this guy's robot. Bottom line, "the fence", by whatever...

    The incongruity that is CCW renewal time in my city...

    is that it actually requires one to disarm completely; deliberately choose to park and walk in one of the sketchier areas of town to the courthouse; and, today at least, stand in a line out the door with a whole crew of interesting people waiting to go through the metal detectors–more...

    Used gemini sp101 at Bud's

    I don't have the dough at the moment, having already spent this month's gun budget, but, for the person who values this type of gun and work, this is worth considering: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/654_774/products_id/411552606/used+Ruger+SP101+Gemini+Custom...

    Is there a place to post knives for sale?

    I see the fora for "Handguns", "Rifles & Shotties", "Reloading gear" and "Accessories" (checked there, not much knife action), but I'm not seeing the place to sell blades. Is that done on THR, or am I just missing something? Thanks in advance!

    FBI .38 spec LSWCHP+P at ammotogo

    Federal's version of the classic 158gr loading, now on sale. I've been following prices on this stuff for years, and 175 for 500 is as good as I've seen for a while. FWIW...

    Separate thread on training and perception of training.

    From another thread: Any past threads aside for just a moment: I am very interested in hearing of any laws known by THR members that do indeed regulate the possession, cultivation, or dissemination of "skills". The very idea is spooky; already proven by history to run counter to freedom...

    Tueller drill retrospective

    I've noticed that this drill comes up in commentary with some degree of regularity here at THR, and for good reason given its iconic status as a concept. While I'm sure that virtually everyone found logged in to ST&T is familiar with the drill, I'm wondering if everyone has also read the...
