    i purchased a s&w 9mm sigma any thoughts? It is my first gun purchase

    Hi Dio Hi Dio, Welcome to THR. First off I believe the S&W Sigma 9mm to be a great 9mm. You're going to hear alot of ppl on here complain about it's trigger. It is about the same lb. trigger as a DAO 5 shot revolver. From a defensive aspect your gun is perfectly seated to your need, if...

    Best Varmint Scope

    I am one payment away from a Savage 12 FV in .308 and I'm having trouble picking a scope. I've always been a strong proponent of Nikon. Well recently someone told me that some scope are "One Piece Tubes" and some are "Two Piece Tubes". And to make sure the that you get a one piece tube. I was...

    Hogue OverMolded Stock?

    Oh man that dresses up that 700 and the FN really nice. I want a standard Monte Carlo looking stock like the Hogue, and not some convoluted 'sniper' stock. I'm not a sniper, and while the rifle will shoot 'sub MOA all day' (hehe that rhymed) it is not a sniper rifle. I basically don't want...

    Hogue OverMolded Stock?

    I am picking up a Savage Model 12 FV in .308 next week. My 1st thing to change will be the stock. What is a good aftermarket stock for the Model 12? I read Macmillan and HS are great, but what about the Hogue Overmolded Stock with the Full Pillar Bedding? I've read that they are flexible. Is...

    New Purchase - Colt Police Positive

    I found this gem in a pawn shop here if S. Florida. I walked in just on a whim, for the first time in years. When I saw this I had to have it. It's a Colt Police Positive. I called Colt and they said manufactured in late 1957. It's 90% on the finish with some minor pitting above the trigger...

    Black Hills Ammunition

    Great ammo. They have contracts with all branches of the US military, which they don't mind telling people. Also many police agencies and SWAT units use their ammo. It is extremely consistent and accurate. I love their ammo, especially the boxes of the cowboy ammo. Makes you feel like you...

    New Purchase

    It's the regular Glock 30, not the new slim frame one. I think I'll wait until the kinks get worked out out new SF models before I buy one. I love it however. I was going to buy one years ago as my first CCW weapon, but opted to go with another brand. While i love my other guns, this one is...

    Northern Illinois University Shooting

    You know, we all should feel sadness, because the Presidential candidate from the state of IL, cannot even comprehend this. According to his laws this should never have happened. Gun laws keep guns out of the hands of ppl that shouldn't have them. What now? The laws are wrong and must be...

    Northern Illinois University Shooting

    El Tejon - LOL, best quote ever. Another great day for Gun Control. I hope Obama uses this as a selling point for his campaign! See what great things come from the laws of his state.

    SW SIGMA or Taurus 24/7

    Taurus no doubt If you were talking about an M&P vs the Taurus, I'd have to say that go with the M&P. But as we are talking about the Sigma, I'd say go Taurus all the way. The sigma is not garbage but it it not a refined item as is the Taurus.

    New Purchase

    I am new to THR. However, I finally broke down and bought a Glock 30 today. I renewed my CWP here in FL yesterday and thought that a new gun should 'ring' in the occasion. So today I picked up a G30 from Bass Pro Shops. I'm nothing but 100% satisfied with my purchase. I know this is a stupid...

    Magtech 9mm +P+

    well if mustang howie had read his owner's manual that came with his taurus pt92, he would have known that +P ammo is not recommended, let alone +P+. These manuals are written by the people who make those wonderful little steel devices we bet our lives on day in and day out. I think we all...

    What gun did Tom Selleck use in Magnum,PI

    OMG what a hilarious post, I rode a ride called the Magnum last weekend at the Palm Beach County Fair here in FL. It looked like it hadn't be run since the 80'. The entire ride was in prestine condition and was themed after Magnum P.I. (of course I had to ride it)...
