Just had to reassess 'two guns' carry after a pal got into a tussle and one of his guns was yanked (SOB carry) by one of the attackers. Apparently it would be extremely difficult to 'fight to retain' both guns in a physical tussle. It would kinda be a legal nightmare too explaining shooting...

Trying to decide on one for Production.. any insights?/

Recently saw someone installed a KKM match barrel in a G17 and their shooting went from good to awesome within a week- significant improvement in speed and accuracy. At a match last weekend he shot nothing but alphas and was way faster as well. Thank goodness for a bungled mag change on a stage...

Read this (you may have to cut and paste in your browser).. http://www.forcesciencenews.com/home/detail.html?serial=3 I guess that's why guns of the safe action type has so much 'ADs'....in fact when I use my Glock as a bedside gun, I always clear the chamber and take out the magazine...

Last Sunday, I spent sometime with some USPSA grandmasters and masters at a range get together.. It was interesting and reinforced a few points that I would like to share with you: 1. It is the user, not the gun..the GM/Ms shot a wide range of stock pistols-Sigs, Glocks, Berettas, HKs, CZs...

Anybody have any of these on media player for download..need to see esp. the first one (grip) and the multiple targets one.. or if you can point me to a source where I can purchase one.. thanks much..

It has everything the old snubs had plus more.. It has become the backup of many PDs and CCW and for many, CCW primary carry.. it is just as small, shoots nicer, just as reliable, has a longer barrel, is just as light and carries twice the capacity.. It is noted for its exceptional accuracy in a...

Over the decades we have had the evolution of the classic marksman who could shoot a fly at 50 yds. given enough time. This was seen as impractical and not effective in the 'real world'. Then came IPSC and still we were not satisfied as to its ability to really prepare us for the real thing...

First off, all protocols observed, Mr. Moderator if anything here might be prohibited or seems off please close thread. Over the weekend I did an informal ammo test consisting of 4 premium rounds: 1. Speer Gold Dot 115g +P 2. Corbon 115g +P 3. Winchester SXT 147g 4. Winchester...

On the last Thursday in 2004 I took out my Beretta to do a function test over a clearing pit. After several clicks- which included racking the slide, inspecting the bullet and not seeing any primer mark, I looked at the breech face and saw that the firing pin looked receded in the channel. I had...

The Weaver system: Here the trigger press starts as the weapon starts up and is synchronised so that it the shot is ready to break exactly as the sight picture is confirmed. This is said to be the system that Jack Weaver used in his mastery of the double-action revolver. This is the method...

Wne do you trigger reset in the recoil cycle? When do you trigger reset in the firing sequence? Is it fixed? I noticed recently that when I hold the trigger back until the sights resettles back on target then release trigger and fire again my groups shrinked and those unexplained misses...

and here I was worried about AK47s.. A few weeks ago a CCW holder friend of mine was killed by a knife wielder. The CCW holder and the knife wielder it appeared had an altercation outside of a nightclub. The killer pulled a knife, not knowing that the other guy had a gun and attacked. In it...

Recently in my neck of the woods a lot of criminal activities are taking place with AK-47s being used more frequently now than ever before. I am concerned that my CCW is not enough and whether I should even carry one as it may cost me my life if I am held up, searched and it is found on me...

Yesterday I had just returned from the range and was cleaning my G19 when a friend came by the house. He said that he had never held a Glock before (he has a revolver) and would like to hold it. So I locked back the slide and handed it to him..suddenly the guy lurched at me and knock the gun out...

I have been noting a dearth of USPSA competitions relative to IDPA competitions..is it that IDPA has outgrown USPSA or most of the USPSA/IPSC matches have moved overseas or gone belly up? What's your take??..

Glock slides have a tendency to go from black to grey to near-white. Can the slide be hot blued without affecting the tenifer finish???

I like the Taurus trigger because it is more curved; anyone knows if it can work in its Beretta descendant, the 92fs?

Guys: We have spent the entire year banging away at our keyboards to get The Highroad going. I remember last year this time most THRers were preparing to bid goodbye to 'The Firingline'. Wouldn't it be good if we recognised the post of the year. Let's give it a try. I suggest a post by El...

This is a question that I have gotten from a few THRers, some even by private email. No, guns are not banned in Jamaica. The implication of this question is that I may be into something illegal since I post here that I have firearms. I post on this forum to learn and to share about the realm of...
