Although I can’t say that have been a great fan of Taurus (though my Taurus total titanium 44 special is sweet), I am enough old-school to appreciate a good revolver. Anyway, I was in my favorite LGS today and fondled Taurus’ new 856 Executive Grade DAO 38 special 6-shot snubby. I was much...

I got a chance to shoot Smith’s new CSX yesterday and today. And I have to say I am much impressed. I would have preferred a slightly lighter trigger pull and night sights, but could live happily with the gun as it is. Near-perfect carry gun, particularly for those accustomed to 1911 format. I...

This is not a "best caliber" thread. This is not a semi-auto v. revolver thread. This is not a tactics thread. This is not a open-carry v. concealed-carry thread. This thread has nothing to do with LEO or military experience. I am not trying to push one agenda over any other. I am just curious...

I have been known to carry quite a variety of handguns, from revolvers to semi-auto, and from .22LR to 45 acp. Most all of the carry guns have been compact or subcompact, and the semi-autos typically are 1911s or have operating systems similar to 1911s (e.g., manual safeties, SA triggers...

I fondled one for the first time yesterday, and the trigger was exceptional and grip ergonomics superb for my hands. I have a fetish for 22 handguns and have far more than I "need." But I am tempted to add one of these to my accumulation. My only reservation: is the gun accurate? If not, it...

I have been shooting and concealed-carrying pistols and revolvers literally my entire adult life. I have competed at local levels for years to refine practical skills and am certified as a firearms instructor in several areas. And I have accumulated a lot of handguns in calibers ranging from...

Ok, folks, I need help with this one. I recently picked up a Tanfoglio P19 L pistol in 40 cal for virtually nothing. It is in like-new condition, has adjustable sights and a rail, and shoots very well. I am a pushover for CZ 75s and their compact and subcompact versions, which made this gun...

Well, people, on the day following the Supreme Court's decision, I went out and bought myself a "Heller" pistol. My choice? A 9mm Taurus PT 24/7 OSS Tactical pistol, and I could not be happier. After approximately 250 rounds, including 60 or so in a local IDPA match, I thought I would share...

I have finally decided (reluctantly) to trade my AR-24. And I will probably add a CZ in its place. The AR-24 is a truly superb firearm. Wonderfully accurate. It feels great in the hand. Smooth trigger pull. Little apparent recoil. High-cap mags. I like the SA or DA capability. The gun...

Obviously, I was not the only one attracted to Larry's Pistol & Pawn; Huntsville, Alabama ("Where every day is a gun show!"), on Saturday to see and shoot Ruger's newest 9 mm. Being a fairly committed 1911 man (though I dabbled with an AR-24 recently), I went to the store with every intention of...

People, Please give me some direction. I recently purchased an Armalite AR-24, and I like the gun big-time. But I do have a slight problem.... I use 115 grain ammo in all my various 9mm handguns, and each of the other guns shoot point of impact equal to point of aim...or slightly...

I bought one last week and like the heck out of it. Very, very nice shooter. But I do have personal suggestions for improving the line, and I shared them today with the company in the following e-mail correspondence: Dear Sir or Madame, I recently added an AR-24 to my inventory of...

Guys, After putting 50 rounds downrange rather quickly, I have the following brief report to make regarding serial number 2X. Nope, that is not a typo; this is real early production we are talking about here, it would appear! The gun shoots extremely well. The sights are well-adjusted...

People, I have a Kimber Tactical Pro II in 9mm on order and was curious whether any of you have had any recent experience with the handgun. My plan is to use it as a carry weapon and in local IDPA matches (ESP division). Boarhunter
