    What's Your PRIMARY Selection Criteria For A CCW - Comfort OR Proficiency?

    I've observed two fundamental sides of the CCW selection coin: 1) Comfort PRIMARY (proficiency secondary) - choose a smaller/lighter gun that's more comfortable to carry, but which you are less proficient with 2) Proficiency PRIMARY (comfort secondary) - choose a larger/heavier gun (relative to...

    Can Enough Practice/Training COMPLETELY Overcome Ergonomics?

    (I shoot the Glock 9mm well, but poorer than many other platforms. So, this is thread is about shooting well vs. better, NOT not about shooting well vs. poor.) I once subscribed more readily to the "practice more" or "try a different technique" line of thinking. So, I invested more in Glock...

    Can you outshoot your sights in rapid fire?

    New thread better explaining my point. My observation: Comparing a G17 to a 9mm P226 using full power ammo as fast as I can shoot at 7-10 yards I've found I can physically shoot the G17 faster (short reset), but shoot a Sig (longer reset and more recoil movement) consistently better...

    Does Select Fire Make The AR/AK A "Military" Small Arm?

    Both the AR- and AK-platform have a select fire (military) and a semi-auto (civilian) version. I've found some argue the military and civilian guns are not to be considered the same gun due (primarily) to different modes of fire. See poll.

    Sig P226 vs. Beretta 92fs: Worth >$200 Difference? >$400? More?

    I like the P226. I like the Beretta 92fs. Have owned Beretta and Sig. Have shot both a lot. Never issues with either. I own multiple Glocks and 1911s. Have owned CZ, HK, XD, Ruger, Kahr and a few others. I want an all metal, hammer fired, full size 9mm in SA/DA common in use in the USA...

    Did Glock Warranty Service Send You A Part?

    I have a older Glock 30 with a bad trigger bar. Called Glock. Glock would not send me the part claiming "firing control parts are only sent to Glock armorers". Said I could ship it in. It's a $15 part. Annoying, but fair enough. Bought the part myself. Problem solved. I have an "MPHxxx" Glock...

    Do Posted "No Gun" Signs Make It Illegal In Your Locale Regardless of OC/CPL Status?

    A recent post got me wondering in what locales a "No Guns" sign posted by a business makes it a CRIMINAL offense (arrest, fine, loss of property/rights, etc.) to bring a gun on/into the property regardless of OC/CPL status. This poll is not related to places prohibited by law (schools, bars...

    Differeing Views on Significance of Physical Assault?

    Recent coverage of (claimed) self-defense shootings got me thinking about how people may hold different views on the significance of being physically assaulted (e.g. getting beaten up), and what is and is not an appropriate response to stop it (when you don't know the outcome and/or when it will...

    Public Opinion: Effect of Being a Gun Forum Member in a Self-Defense Shooting?

    The clearly biased media handling of the most recent high profile (claimed) self-defense shooting got me thinking about this idea again. Regardless of what you feel regarding guilt or innocence in this case - and I don't think we have all the facts yet - the media's reporting on this case has...

    Why You Reload...

    We reload for different reasons. I often see these reasons as the reasons we choose the press we choose and the components we use. So, concerning our choices, it's not a universal "better than" deal, it's an individual "better for me" deal. See poll. Just curious. Please only select one...

    Calibers: Buy(s), Sale(s) and Keeper(s)?

    Guns are a hobby for most shooters. I try-then-buy or buy-to-try to see what I like. Some stick, some don't. And, it's been this way with service caliber choices. I figure it's the same with most. Poll pretty much covers it. Poll is limited to 20 options so I chose 9mm, .40sw, .357sig, 10mm...

    Glock: Your Experience By Caliber

    Long-time shooter and reloader, new to THR. In reading THR posts I've quickly noted, interestingly, that more folks on THR (vs. what I've seen on other gun/shooting forums) state reliability/function issues and/or parts breakages with Glocks. This often comes up in comparisons to other guns...
