Okay maybe this is a dumb question, but I bought a Taurus PT92 in 9mm Luger I thought. But I noticed on the side of the slide it says "9mm PARA". Is 9mm PARA the same as 9mm Luger? My gut tells me there's no difference but I have bought the wrong caliber before so I hope I didn't screw this...

Are there any differences in reliability between a single stack mag vs. a double stack mag?

No, believe it or not I would rather dodge bullets than run into a burning building. :D This is something I have wanted to do since I was little. I woke up one day and decided to go for it, after realizing I wasn't getting any younger. I am only 22 and already plan to double dip. (2...

Oh, nono! I understand that and completely agree. Not to try and justify what he did. And to try and not make this a racial thing. BUT.......The same person who came and complained about my cousin doesn't complain when "others" come in and "bump". You know. I have absolutely lost it with this...

Ok, I will preface this with a hello, it's been a while since I been on here, and last I talked to you all I was going through the employment process with the Sheriff's dept. While all that's done with, and I'm now one of (INsert my county here) finest. I am happy and finding out all the pro's...

Anyone have one or any knowledge of them? I am going to pick one up in Jan. Does Para have any feed problems with their double stack feature on their magazines? I am buying the hawg in stianless of course to use for primary carrying. But not if some of you guys are having any problems with them...

Jail, unfortunately our Prison system doesn't pay squat. Plus Hunstville is a long way away from me. I'm pickin' up what your layin' down.:) However I think it's going a little far to say not to look at them, it is my job to observe them and manage them, kinda hard to do if you don't look at...

Yeah, it is only five weeks. why should it be longer?

OK, I'll give you all an update. The Pre-Employment Briefing thing went well. A little scary but my cousin has let me in on the real side of county Jail. No problem. They said alot, in three hours even I was amazed at how much you can say about Corrections. But as I get closer to the day...

Ouch! Yeah, good thing I didn't have to spell that one! Well, I don't know what my future holds, tonight while trying to compile the stuff I had written down for the bio they want us to write, I noticed that one of the kids my wife babysits had at some point during the day. Scribbled all...

Actualy I was tempted to, but didn't. Well, things went well. this is something I never thought would be so drawn out. One has to think for a moment, is all of this hasle really worht it? Yes, to me it is. I think. I was pleasently surprised about how much investigation and all goes into...

Good news (Anyone with experience in Corrections please read) I am going this morning in about an hour for an Pre-Employment Breifing with the Local Sheriff's Dept., to work in the County Jail. I have already heard all the stories and all, the pro's and con's, so I need any of them. My main...

I am going to carry it year round. Tax season for me is a really good time of year. Enough money to buy lots of guns and pay for the CHL. But I have to wait until Feb.

Is there much difference between "Loaded" models, and TRP models from Springfield? Obviously the big one that stands out to me is price but other then that and the light rail I don't see much difference. I am looking to buy a 1911 to carry in Feb. Am I better suited to buy a "loaded" or...

I can say something about the NaOH thing. Not to bad an idea. I work in Water Treatment and we use Sodium Hydroxide for pH adjustment. I can give you some first hand accounts of the effects of this stuff. We currently get it in 50,000 gallon shipments of about a 50% mixture, which up until just...

Some More Stupidity Caught on Camera! God someone please teach these kids how to handle a firearm!! Mods feel fre to move this if it doesn't belong here. I didn't know where to put it. BTW, except for some blood this video isn't graphic. But I don't know how safe it is for work! Please use...

Does anyone else hear a KaBoom? I bet the next time you hear about that PD it'll be a story about how many poluice officers are on the DL (Disabled List). :neener: They should have stuck with the Sig. ;)

Man I was told, maybe mis-informed, that the AF does not have PT every Morning like the Army, Navy, Marines. I had a friend who was going to go in, but then changed his mind. He said that he was told "No PT", I guess that's once you get out of Basic. I don't know, Don't hold me to it. I'm just a...
