I had been looking for a New .45acp. To make a long story short. I bought my FIRST 1911. It is a Ruger SR1911 with a [5] inch bbl. I am wondering most of all is it DEPENDABLE? Second is it Accurate? Also why is the the Trigger Ventilated? I have owned handguns for 38 years and this is my First...

I an curious if anyone keeps a 1911 on their night stand for home defense? I have been apprehensive of doing such a thing because of the lower mag capacity. If you use a 1911 for Home Defense to you keep a spare mag next to it? Right now I have a Springfield XDM 9mm with 20 rds and a Taurus...

I have some of my pistol mags loaded with the same ammo for months-some have been fully loaded for years. Is this acceptable? Or is it bad for the mag? Thank you Everyone!

I am thinking of making the CZ my next 9mm purchase. I currently own a SW-MP 9mm, which is totally Awesome, Accurate and Reliable. I am trading a Taurus 24/7 9mm, which is a Reliable gun, but does not have the accuracy of the MP. Now on THR I have heard a lot of very Good things about the CZ. I...

My wife has owned her Taurus 24/7 9mm [4 inch Barrel] for two months now. She is shooting pretty good with it. She likes the 18 available shots. She is getting discouraged because she tends to shoot low a lot. I shoot her gun too, but do not experience this problem. I am not sure if it is the...

Two of my Taurus 24/7 Pro the grip is starting to wear quite a bit. This is the ribber grip on the .40 and 9mm. Does any one know if these can be replaced by a sturdier grip? Such as the Hogue Pistol grips? Thank you in advance! The Best to All! Frank

I just recently switched to 180gr ammo for defensive purposes in my .40's instead of 165gr. I had bought a few hundred rounds of 180gr practice ammo that was on sale, instead of my usual 165gr practice ammo. I noticed I was a better shooter with the 180gr. [less recoil, better placement, and a...

OK opinion time. :) What do you personally consider the best handgun for home defense. [caliber, mag capacity, ammo type, even gun brand] For all of those who want to reply that a long gun of some type is best-forget it!-we already know that:cool: This is strictly a handgun question. I have...

Ok looking for another .45 and already have two SA XD's so I am ruling that out. Just because I want something different-- the XD is an awesome gun! I had a Taurus 24/7 in a .45, but it was not reliable in that caliber [ I owned it less then a week!-Cabela's took it back- full refund-A real...

This is an area I have no experience in. I just bought a gun that came with a few scratches on the slide. When a gun is new I prefer that it least start out nice. They are not deep, but surface scratches. Any ideas on how to get rid of them? Would it work on an older gun too? I do appreciate any...

I own several 24/7 Pro's in the .40cal and 9mm platform. I really like the reliability, the grip and external safety. I would like to purchase a .45acp 24/7 Pro. Would love to hear from owners of this gun. 1] Is it reliable? [any jamming issues, FTF, FTE etc?] 2]Reasonable accuracy? [I own...

Hi everyone! I bought my wife a 9mm to introduce her to the semi-auto world. [she really likes it!] We have been having fun shooting it together. All my experience is with .45 and .40 I did some reading and decided on the Remington Golden Saber 124gr +p as good defensive ammo. Any other...

I am trading my Springfield XD .45acp 4 inch service model, all black, for a new XD 5 inch .45acp stainless. My question is how much do you think I should try to get out of my 4 inch. She is in excellent condition and less then one year old. Probably has around 1100-1500 rounds thru her...

I just wanted to wish everyone on THR a very Merry Christmas! May God Bless All in the coming New Year! Frank

Well I have been very ill for about three weeks now. Lost 8 pounds, was on liquids for a while. I am feeling better now. So I went to the range today to fire 200 rounds from one of my Taurus 24/7 Pro's .40 caliber. I missed the splatter target completely more then a few times from 15 yards. Then...

Ok gentlemen I want to get my wife into the semi-auto world. But she has shot both my .45 and .40 and has some recoil issues with both. She seems to prefer the .45 which of course has lower recoil then the .40 But overall she has problems with the semi-auto.[says its sloppy] She currently...
