    Newly introduced Dan Wesson DWX

    My TSO trigger is easily on par with my semi-custom 1911s. So I don't think it's going to be on my "need" list. I love the 1911 platform and think this offering is aimed at more mature ( read old guys ) competitive shooters. Funny thing is a great competition gun also makes a great range gun. To...

    Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot

    Went once as I usually shot that range weekly. When I I got to the shoot I saw a ge mini gun offered to anyone foolish enough to spend $75.00. I shot the thing since in Viet Nam I never got the opportunity. In a way, I'm glad I never did.

    Interested in a CZ

    If a guy can ( I'm retired) save up the bucks the Tactical Sport Orange it is a great pistol. I wanted a good 9mm so the money I'd saved for another. 45 got spent on the TSO. I don't regret it. Great trigger, good fit/finish and the most accurate firearm I own.

    Best credit card for gun people?

    I use a Cap 1 with 1 1/2% back from any purchase. May not be the best, but works OK for me. Yes, I would change if something demonstrably better from a reliable company was presented.

    A gentle reminder

    At 73 I have never met ( or no one has confessed) anyone that cleans their firearms without unloading them. I always thought the "cleaner" was covering for something more embarrassing or sinister.

    Gun shop and range idiocy

    My dad brought me up respecting firearms with emphasis on Firearms safety. On a dove hunt in Springtown Tx in 1960 we had endured most of the day without seeing a single bird. About an hour before sundown a the single bird drifts in and settles on a power line. In total desperation dad began...

    Beto's gun rant

    In my opinion the 2nd Amendment IS our license.

    Beto's gun rant

    What scares me is the ignorant mob incited by the self serving fool.

    Your Favorite Semi-Auto Pistol Caliber and Why

    For an old guy the .45 ACP is the easiest for me to load. Larger case, easier to see and can be loaded bullseye light or SD spicey. Tons of tried and true recipes to experiment with. Accuracy without struggle. My fav.

    When did you start shooting?

    My dad lived on a small tx lake which was considered "country". At age 7 he got me a Crossman Co2 rifle in 177 cal. He would regularly stop on the way home from work to pick up pellets and power cartridges. I was trained to insure my target was safe and enjoyed that rifle for several years...

    Favorite current-production metal framed 9mm?

    My favorite is my CZ TS Orange. Waited too long to get it, but it was worth the wait.

    Family or Las Vegas mass shooting victim sue gun makers

    Since being emotionally or politically correct has nothing to do with veracity then the playing field is considerably larger.

    What is the difference between HP and JHP for self defense?
