    End of the world weapon choice

    Hi, I hope you are all having a great day! I have a fun question for all of you second amendment supporters. If society had broken down for whatever reason, nuclear war, natural disaster, President Obama makes a second term (oops, that slipped), and you had the choice of whatever handgun and...

    Difference between Kimber Custom ii vs. TLE

    I need a little advice from my brother gun enthusiasts. I just bought a Kimber Custom ii NIB with nite sites and I saw the TLE and like the checkering on the grip. My question for all of you is: Would the TLE be worth trading the Custom ii and paying the difference? The grip feels nice but to me...

    High axis bore? Sigs and HKs.

    Larry Ashcroft, you quoted a statement I made then asked "what exactly are you trying to say, or ask?" When in doubt look for the question mark. I clearly asked, "What does high axis bore mean?" At least chris in va and SsevenN understood my question.

    High axis bore? Sigs and HKs.

    I have a question for my fellow gun enthusiasts: what does high axis bore mean? I usually here it in reference to Sigs and HKs. On another website one man said he hated the high axis bore on Sigs and HK USPs compared to Glocks which he loved. I've held all three weapons and fired all but the HK...

    Advice needed on combat shooting skills

    I have no desire to prove my boss wrong. I'm just wondering if it's a bad idea to train in point shooting on my own time. There are quite a few advocates of it and I was wondering what you guys think.

    Advice needed on combat shooting skills

    Actually, I'm not an armored car courier. That was a logical deduction though. I appreciate your opinion. I just hear a few other gun enthusiats talk about point shooting being better than aiming. The logic my boss has is that even if you don't hit vitals he "won't go home" but to me that's not...

    Advice needed on combat shooting skills

    I just received some training from my boss for this armed security job I've been at for about six months and he's told us to train like this on our own time. Here's the problem I need all of your opinions on: my boss is having us completely disreguard just about everything we've been taught with...

    Kimber 1911 Question

    As always, you all have some very good opinions. I greatly appreciate it all. As one comment stated, "So sell the Kimber and get the HK. You won't be happy until you do." I'm very tempted to do this and if I still want the Kimber I can always buy another one in the future.

    Kimber 1911 Question

    I have a question for my fellow gun enthusiasts. I just bought a Kimber Custom ii but I am hesitant to fire it because I may want to sell it for an HK USP .45, which I've always wanted. My issue for wanting to sell it is the reported break-in period on the 1911. Can anyone tell me why in the...

    Should I trade NIB Kimber for HK USP?

    I agree with XNavyflyer. Everyone has their own opinion but I must say he is the only person I've ever heard call the HK USP "a vile creature." At a major gun distributor in my area I have held and salivated over the HK USP and had three men on seperate occasions tell me what a great weapon it...

    Should I trade NIB Kimber for HK USP?

    The HK USP .45 holds twelve rounds as the Kimber with tac mags would hold eight.

    Should I trade NIB Kimber for HK USP?

    I just bought a Kimber Custom ii with night sites and love the feel of the weapon and especially the look. But I dislike the breakdown process and really like the HK USP .45. I work as an armed security guard and I am allowed to carry my own gun so I am torn between the two .45s. If I trade the...

    Is 1911 bad for a first-time carry gun?

    I noticed the quotes you have bellow your comment. Are you into Buddhism and the Samurai as well? If so I thought maybe you would lean toward the 1911, it being a more traditional choice. I think it's cool you recommended the Glock.

    Is 1911 bad for a first-time carry gun?

    I appreciate your help guys. I have an additional question: Does having eight rounds bother you guys as opposed to a higher capacity? I know you should make every round count but I want to know what you think?

    Is 1911 bad for a first-time carry gun?

    I just got out of the army and appreciate a weapon that disassembles easily. I'm torn between the Kimber Custom ii which feels great but I'm really discouraged by the break-down process. I'm thinking about the Glock 30 SF which also feels great in my hands. Please give me your input. Is all that...

    Help choosing a concealed carry gun.

    my first pick would be the HK USP because I love it's capacity and feel. The size doesn't bother me at all. Of those four I've only fired the Sig 220 and it was great my only drawback with that weapon is that it has a smaller capacity and is equally as large as the USP. All of these weapons feel...

    Help choosing a concealed carry gun.

    This month i'm going to buy a hangdun for concealed carry. I just got out of the Army Infantry six months ago so I'm familiar with firearms but would like your opinions. I have no issue carrying a full-size gun because I will adjust my wardrobe if needed. That being said, my choices are either...

    Do you trust the 1911 for combat?

    I really appreciate all your input. It's fun seeing all you gun-lovers debate and discuss your theories and opinions. I had no idea my question would get such a response from THR. You're the best crowd to get into a discussion with. Thank you again.
