    Taurus to take lead in "Authorized User" Firearms

    Taurus has learned nothing from the S&W sellout, gun owners boycotted their guns and it forced them to sell! Taurus, can you hear me now?

    (NY) New Licensing Fee Proposed for Handgun Owners

    Pataki is most likely in his last term, so he's not worried about re-election. Unfortunately with the current deficit, legislators are like sharks that smell blood when it comes to finding revenue. This will be a tough one to stop because the majority of NYS residents don't have pistol permits...

    What 45 for bullseye?

    I have been shooting 22cal. bullseye for a couple of years, I am considering shooting 45cal. too but don't know what brand to get and if I should buy new or used. I don't have an unlimited budget but am willing to pay more to get a better gun. I'm thinking about $750 range. So, I'd like input...

    Kahr K9, Tell me about it

    I love my K9, accurate, reliable and excellent quality. It's the one I carry most of the time.

    Attn: Do you have a Sig-p239?

    I bought my 239 in 357, then got 40cal. and 9mm barrels for it. It is one of my favorites, very reliable and excellent quality. I like to carry mine in a Sparks VM-2. It's a keeper.

    opinions on a 9mm pistol...

    I have a SIG 239, it's a 357 and I have a 40 barrel that is in the gun most of the time. If you are going to CCW in the future, the 239 in 9mm should work fine. I also have a Kahr K9, a little smaller and thinner than the 239 but a sweet shooter that's excellent for CCW. I love my Glock 19...

    Cult of the .40 cal S&W

    I have a Glock 27 & SIG 239-40, I have been shooting more 40 than 9mm or 357. It seems to be working for me, not that I will ever sell any guns I own in other calibers, that would just be Un-American!

    Who has experience with the .357 Sig caliber?

    I have a 239 in 357, bought a 40 barrel and mags for it too. The 357 is not going to overtake 9mm or 40 anytime soon. It is an expensive round, that's why I got the 40 barrel which stays in the gun most of the time.

    Major Problem with Kahr

    I have a Kahr K9, love that little gun! I also have a Glock 19, 26 & 27 and a SIG 239. The gun I carry most is the K9, it's so thin, I put it in an Alessi Talon Plus and hardly know it's there! I'm having a hard time deciding what gun I want to have my VM-2 holster made for, the Kahr is...

    $350: Kahr K9 vs. Sig 239 Help me choose...

    Whew! This is a quagmire your in. I own a K9 & 239, both are excellent guns. The K9 is slightly smaller and thinner, so it has a slight advantage for CCW but the 239 is also easy to conceal. I have to go with some of the others and say try to work a deal for them both, at around $325 each, it...

    Pick my next gun.

    I'm about the same size as you, I have a Glock 19 that conceals very well. That being said, I also like the STI LS & BLS, to stay close to your price range you would have to get a used one. They are small and thin like the Kahr, very nice for CCW. Worth considering.

    What makes a good shooter?

    Can everyone be a sharpshooter? No, but everyone can become a more proficient shooter with practice. Handgun skills diminish rapidly without consistent practice. It also helps to be in good physical condition, I don't mean a musclehead, just a light workout 2, 3 times a week to keep muscle...

    Wheelgun versus auto: state your case!

    I don't own a wheelgun, just semi auto's, which I trust implicitly. However, the wheelgun would have a slight edge due to the ability to just pull the trigger again if you have a FTF. Does that mean I am going to switch to a wheelgun, no. I guess you have to be comfortable with your choice.

    Range Report: Glock 26...

    I have both the 26 & 27, they are very nice little shooters. I use the Pearce +1 on the 27, it gives me better control, adds one round and doesn't add much to the grip. I don't buy a gun for looks, I want a gun to be reliable and Glock fills the need nicely. My 27 is on my hip most of the...

    A Different View of Jessicas Rescue

    It's shameful that someone can take such a callous position on Jessica Lynch's rescue. I don't care what the reasons that led to her capture were, once the US military knew where she was they executed a flawless rescue that was done because she was an american soldier in enemy captivity. If...
