Per some urging of fellow member (which I do thank for input) I decided to start my thread titled Good and Bad. Most if not all members here are against any form of firearm control. Which is understandable due to the language of the Second Amendment. However, times have changed since the...

When I built my firearm collection I tailored the ammo requirement with in mind ammo cost. My Rossi stainless steel revolver, 2.5 inch barrel, rubber grips, .38/.357. An excellent revolver since I got it in 1986 and surprisingly very accurate. Springfield Champion .45, an outstanding semi...

For the final 100 rounds FMJ I took my Kahr P380 to a private range where I could set up targets 10 yards away. Performance was just as flawless as the last 150 rounds. Accuracy was incredible at 10 yards-over 95% in the black. I would give very high marks for performance and accuracy...

At this point, my decision on the Kahr P380 hinges on one troubling question. The Kahr P380, based on my research is a nice firearm. Their customer service is also good and quick. The toss up at this point is between the Kahr P380 and the Micro Eagle .380. The question I have about the...

I had an interesting converstion with a local gun dealer relating to .380s and the type of ammunition he prefers. Backgroud: When I was in the US Army, my side arm was the .45. We were issued ball ammunition. The reasons for ball were 1- penetration. Soldiers have a lot of clothing making...

As earlier posted, I had fired 50 rounds thru my new Millenium, took it apart, cleaned it, put it together right and it jammed-brought back the weapon to the dealer who sent it to Taurus diagnosing a broken trigger mechanism. Got it back and finally went to the range when a window of time...

Several weeks ago, I went to the range and fired 100 rounds through my new Taurus 40 caliber Millineum. A few failure to feed and a stove pipe. Not too concerned because it takes about 300-500 rounds to break a weapon in. Took it apart to clean it and put it together. During that operation...
