Indoor range 5 minutes. Rifle- shotgun sports is 75 miles.

Been out of the THR loop for a while. Never met Art but feel like I knew him. His wisdom and life experiences shared with so many of us will always be treasured.

I’d give it a 8, never owned a 10. I’m one of the few that likes CZs poly guns better than their steel. It’s the best SA/DA I’ve ever owned and I would highly recommend it. Been through the Sig and Beretta family as well as others.

I’ve had a few, love there simplicity but way to thick for my needs

With the ranges closed for the next month or so I need some help on a pellet pistol for backyard shooting. I shoot mostly 9mms so I’m looking for a semi auto type pistol. Probably co2 and with a mag capacity of 10 or so. 10 to 15 yards accurate and $400 or under, and suggestions are greatly...

Wrestled between the P09 and the P10f. P10f is awesome but I’m sure I’ll ad P09 soon and at some point a TSO

I have or have had all the mentioned. The only one I had trouble with was a 75BD, as someone mentioned I did have to change the recoil and extractor spring to make it run. Had a Berretta 92s in the early 90s, worked great but the grip never fit me. I have a gen 3 17 RTF with a 3.5 pound Ghost...

I carried a Kahr P9 for 10 or so years, learned to love the trigger. However, I always hated the fact that if you carry a spare mag, in your pocket the rounds pop out. I bought a 43X about a year ago, love it. I’ve had a gen 3 17 for years so the trigger was no big deal. I still use the stock 10...

Bought a T3x in .270 in March, but a set of Warne on it along with a Zeiss V4 4X14X56. Bore sighted it at 25 yards and fired 2 shots to zero. Shot 3-5 went into 3/4, shot 5-7 went into 1/2 at 100. Love the rings that fit the grooved receiver

I carry a CZ P07 about 30% of the time, I consider a 15+1 full size.

Had a 229 in .40. As much as I tried to love it it was just a smudge to short in the grip for me, flawless in function. I would choose the 226 with E2 grip

If we’re talking about SD like we so often do, shoot till slide lock or the threat stops, same as any other caliber

Not sure it’s considered full size but I carry a CZ P07 about half the time, untucked shirt and it’s unoticable.

I have a 4” Trooper and a 6” DW. The Colt has the legacy the Dan is the winner. Both excellent revolvers, pick the one you like.

I was at a indoor range a year or so ago and the guy next to me was shooting a HK45 compact. He let me shoot a mag through it, I was dumbfounded at how soft and accurately it shot. I have 3 1911s but if I ever bought another.45 it would be that HK, really a sweet shooter.
