    Compact 1911 using hollow points

    I mentioned on another forum I used to shoot USPSA Limited 10 with a Kimber Raptor using Wilson Mags. The Kimber ran flawlessly with FMJ but gave me issues with JHPs. Now reloading JHP's is not much more costly than FMJ. At an open house Rob Leatham told me JHP's were slightly more accurate than...

    Hog Hunting with the XD-M

    When I moved down here to SC a few friends from Monday's Range night were going handgun hog hunting. They offered to let me come and offered me to borrow a 6" S&W .460 which I'm sure could handle a large hog. Unfortunately at the time I wasn't ready to give it a try. Now I regret missing it.

    What's that in your pocket? Does size matter?

    First I rarely pocket carry my Sig P365 but when I do it is a DeSantis Super Fly. Now about the "If it comes out I will shoot it" stuff. Our wonderful ex President Obama had the CDC do a survey for gun control that did not work out for him, it was in USA Today. They found that between 800,000...

    Are You Carrying the Right Gun?

    I love these back and forth arguments The actual answer is just get an H&K in .40 and not be concerned about all this stuff. Or 9mm if you wish..

    Budget 1911 that actually works flawlessly right out the box

    Tisa's a decent low priced 1911. There is no rule saying you need to spend $3500 to get a decent 1911. Just keep it well lubed.

    Help me decide!!

    So tempted to go with the gun forum of habit of "Well I know you said Springfield but how about a . . . ." I will refrain. But it hurts.

    Are You Carrying the Right Gun?

    I have said before that I usually rotate 4 H&K's. Once in a while I carry my Sig P365 I just usually prefer a larger gun. My oldest gun a Sig P226 does see duty on rare occasions. Just to have a holster for it I did have Wright Leather make a holster for my new CZ TSO but not sure if I am ready...

    What Do You Do? Cops and CCW

    Sometimes it is better just to hand the LEO your permit. He will know you "possibly/probably" have a gun. Saying you have a gun may trigger a nervous response especially in a newbie.

    XDM Elite in NY

    After reading all the replies I'm surprised Springfield does not ship with a 10 round option. H&K, not the most customer friendly manufacturer has 10 round options for many of their handguns. In fact having trouble finding the 17 round VP9 here in SC I had to order the 10 round version and buy...

    Is an Empty Chamber Dangerous?

    I am confused about the "cold competition" guns and then the mention of "real world" IDPA. I have shop IDPA, USPSA, and Steel and they are ALL COLD until you get ready to "MAKE READY". Then you load and shoot the stage. Otherwise you can only handle in a "SAFE" area. While IDPA may be more like...

    Silencer Central: Suppressor Buying Simplified

    One of the problems with any Class III weapon which includes a suppressor is that owning one gives the BATF permission to stop by anytime UNANNOUCHED to check your weapon. While I think the classification of the suppressor is stupid until it is changed I will stay away from them.

    Is an Empty Chamber Dangerous?

    A friend who was a hunter was very nervous about carrying with a round chambered. We talked a while but what did it was while talking I took out my knife and walked toward him. He instinctively put out his hand. I then said, " Show me how you are going to rack your slide with a hand fending off...

    Magtech ammo - bad?

    I use it all the time with no issues but some guns just don't like some ammo. My P365 loves everything including ancient surplus ammo but White Box is very inaccurate for some reason.

    My Favorite Handgun

    My favorite handguns to shoot are 1911 Sig Stainless Super Target, Dan Wesson Classic Bobtail, and my new CZ TSO. My favorite to carry are a variety of H&K's P2000's, P30's and a VP9 If I want no recoil and always be in the 10 ring my Ruger MK III Hunter with 6" barrel is the way to go.

    Where’s the Ammo!!!!!

    Leave notices on Midway and you will pay the same price for Blazer Brass. Not a great price but my last to notices for Blazer one for 115gr and the other for 147gr were for $350 for 1000 rounds (20 boxes). Not cheap but better than steel cased.

    Where’s the Ammo!!!!!

    Once and a while Natchez will get ammo in but you have to act fast. I get alerts from Midway and have been lucky to be on the computer when they come in. $350 for 1000 rounds of Blazer Brass 147gr. while a few months ago was high now is better than the $600 I have seen in the few offering in...

    When Does a .380 Beat a 9mm?

    The .380 beats the 9mm when you have a .380 and not a 9mm.

    As Kenosha and Minneapolis Burn, Millions of Americans Buy Guns

    In the last couple of months I have seen bulk 9mm ammo WHEN AVAILABLE go from $147 > $249 > $319 > $359 and finally $599. I still find some boxes for $30 for 50 but that is rare and high. I have alerts out from my favorite distributors. The bitch is it is difficult to practice when you know you...
