    Reviews on PT145

    I have a PT745 (single stack version) and have over 1,000 rounds through it of varying brands and bullet styles with zero FTF, FTE, etc. I've carried it concealed daily IWB and OWB and openly on a number of occasions and have yet to have an ounce of trouble from the gun. Seems a great value...

    Boy, 9, charged with Brandishing Firearm

    That's mostly what I was wondering. My thoughts on what he did: it was wrong, but it certainly seems it could have been handled without an arrest. What if he'd threatened you at the bus stop, with a realistic fake gun and you were carrying a real gun? Here's a fun story from my childhood...

    Boy, 9, charged with Brandishing Firearm

    From my hometown: http://hamptonroads.com/2008/12/suffolk-boy-9-charged-brandishing-toy-gun-bus-stop What will the likely implications be of this kid's screw up? I'd hate to be barred from owning firearms or kept out of college because of a toy gun at age 9. I'm not saying what he did was...

    duty to inform an officer in nc?

    I'm not sure if you have to inform in NC or not, but I do know that if you write "under duress" on anything at any point in your arrest, your handcuffs will magically fall off. Take that to the bank.

    strange PM, could this be the ATF?

    A/K/A Tommy Chong is a "documentary" on Tommy Chong's federal bust. They used a very similar setup on there. A guy kept calling and trying to convince Tommy's bong company to sell him bongs in some locality where it is illegal to sell glassware like that. I thought it was entrapment, but...

    Taurus Owners

    Twas the point of the winking smiley face...pointing out the humor in basing the quality level of a company that has been selling firearms in the US under various owners since 1968 on a sample of ~200 guns seems a little ludicrous, just it would be ludicrous for me to never buy another Beretta...

    Guns at Cost (not a joke or spam)

    Not sure why the site is still up, but the 'gimmick' was only for two weeks...and that was in April...so that might be the problem?

    Help suggest a knife for me (please?)

    I think I'm going to give the Griptilian a shot since I really like Benchmade from my limited experience with their knives. By the time I get the sucker hunting time will be over for this year...such is life. That Case knife with the interchangable blades is an interesting idea that might suit...

    Taurus Owners

    Consider the sample size...not exactly scientific. Funny part about it is that since they're cheap then they're 'junk' when they don't work. If a pricey 1911 doesn't work it's because it needs "breaking in". Only gun I've had fail was twice as expensive as my Taurus...and made by a big...

    Taurus Owners

    Near 1,000 rounds through my PT745, trouble free. Friend has a Taurus/Rossi .357 that hasn't given him trouble, but he seldom shoots or carries it. He's the kind of guy who just buys guns to buy guns...some of his have no use to him other than to just "have"...his .357 falls in that category.

    Help suggest a knife for me (please?)

    Thanks for all of the great suggestions. Whitetail primarily, duck coming close second (usually in swamps as opposed to blind hunting) and squirrel a distant third. Hunting, although not year 'round would essentially be it's primary "actual" use since I normally use my pocketknife from day to...

    Help suggest a knife for me (please?)

    Looking for a new knife. I carry a folder everyday and decided that I'd like a new one for Christmas. Here's what I'd like it to do or be or be "like": 1.) Slightly longer than average folding blade (something around 4" blade). If I can get a folding blade that long, then I can have a...

    plaxico burress shoots himself

    Number two in TV ratings, NASCAR? PGA Golf? LPGA? :what: Kidding...but seriously, not all :neener: That's sorta my point...good for the goose, good for the gander: if I went into a bar in North Carolina, I might be a valid permit holder in VA, but that doesn't mean the 2nd amendment...

    plaxico burress shoots himself

    I just want to know what his lawyers strategy here is...he's shot himself in the leg. If we accept that as fact, and also accept that he doesn't have a valid NYC permit...how was he NOT in illegal possession of a concealed weapon?

    Not a Dime Campaign

    I already told my girlfriend (VT 08) that that will be my policy (career Tech student...year 5) upon graduation. Her policy is "I'm in medical school".

    Do deer bed down during breezy winds with cold front

    Hunted the same piece of land for the past three weekends. Killed a deer on the rainy day out of those three weekends... That's the fact of it, but it's deceiving because we actually saw one deer that day and killed it whereas previous (sunny) days we were seeing multiple deer and just not...

    What does "LEO Only" mean for me (non-LE) when buying a used gun?

    Gotcha. I know the last time I was in there and they had a Colt AR-15 stamped "Military/Law Enforcement Use," specifically why I was wondering...curious what made one AR mil/LE and another one not need that marking. Apparently my answer is currently nothing. I can live with that.
