Good evening 'gents, Well, I'm in a new state (VA), far from home. My beloved CCW is no longer valid (lousy lack of reciprocity), so I'm putting in for a new one. I've been waffling on whether I want to continue carrying my Glock 19 (belongs to fiancee) or go with my gut (if not my wallet)...

Evening 'gents, In the market for some decent hearing protection. I've been using the orange foam inserts over basic ear protectors that I rent at the range, but I just moved to Virginia and now I'll be going out away from ear rentals. So... What do you like for decent ear protection...

Any Dan Wesson 4-inch commander-style bobtail owners out there (or general cognoscenti) know if there is an ambidextrous safety on the frame or a right-handed only safety? I can't seem to locate the answer myself. Looks like a hot little number! I'm a lefty, and I'm looking into upgrading my...

Good evening all, I'm giving heavy consideration to a pocket-carry type auto for the ridiculously hot weather. I've been carrying a G19 very comfortably, but tighter clothes or dress occasions necessitate a smaller and lighter rig. I've never fired any of the above, so I'm coming to this...

Good afternoon 'gents, I did a search of the forum and found some excellent advice directed at another chappy who was moving to the DC metro region. However, that was a little dated (1.5-2 years), and I was wondering if any of you guys lived out in that area and had any advice for a CCW guy...

I'm entertaining job possibilities / moves to either VA, TX or NE. I've been in Omaha for a year and a half and like it, but there's a possibility either for San Antonio or the Virginia Beach area of southern VA. Just from a gun ownership / cost of living perspective, should I just stay in...

'Evening gents, I've got some training to do next week in San Antonio parts, and I'm looking for a good range that has a nice selection of handguns to rent. I've tried nearly everything at my local Omaha range, and I'd love to try out some HKs, Walthers, Glocks, Springers, Rugers, etc that I...

Here's the dilemma fellas, I have an exellent Milt Sparks IWB holster for my Glock 19, and there are times that I forget I'm even carrying. However, as much as I love 9mm, I love 45 ACP even more. I held a G30 the other day, and it felt roughly comparable to the 19. Will the G30 fit the...

Afternoon 'gents, I went to the pawn shop today downtown, and was surprised at the huge numbers of milsurps thtey had for sale. I have made up my mind to get an SKS, and then a Mosin Nagant (and an AK if funds allow). However, they had a lot, and they seemed expensive. There was ONE...

Evening guys, I've been tasked to locate a nice Yugo or Russian SKS for the nephew who's just gotten into guns and would really like one. I keep reading numbers around $200 being bandied about, but I have no idea where to find these rifles for such prices. Any good online place for SKS? Or...

'Evening fellas, Just picked up something that I'd wanted for some time - Hogue rubber grips for my full-sized 1911. I get home, eagerly, and see that none of my tools will unscrew the grip paneling from the sides of the gun. Am I missing something, are they just really screwed in tightly, or...

'Afternoon, fellas, My fiancee's birthday came and went - she got a Glock 19 w/Trijicon night sights from me and loves it! I'm thinking of getting her (us, maybe me!) a Streamlight TL-2, since she'd like a laser, and I think a light would be a good idea as well. I'd also like a holster...

Good afternoon all, I just field stripped a new 1911 loaded Springer, and I can't put the ruddy thing back together again! I've gotten quite good at everything BUT putting the spring and plug back in. I have no idea what the problem is - I've tried everything (except, obviously, the CORRECT...

Good afternoon all, Sorry about the invalid posts - my internet has been dying off at the precise moment the thread was to be posted :cuss: I've been reading so many positive reviews about the new XD45 compact that I went to the gun store the other day and held one. It was a wonderful...

Good afternoon all, Sorry about the invalid posts - my internet has been dying off at the precise moment the thread was to be posted I've been reading so many positive reviews about the new XD45 compact that I went to the gun store the other day and held one. It was a wonderful fit for my...

Triplicate post! (sorry):cuss:

Afternoon 'gents, Just swung by the local gun shop and was able to hold an XD45 compact for the first time. Damn! That's a fine handgun, and it's very cool to have the two mag sizes. Here's my n00b question: the fella there is offering a nice package of the XD45 with a 10 and 12 round mag...

Good evening gents, I saw an excellent post the other day answering someone's query about CCW classes in the Denver/Boulder area. The great state of Nebraska recently passed CCW, and as a new shooter, I was wondering if any THRers knew of similar classes in the Omaha metro area. The only...

Hi guys, I stopped by the local gun shop on the way home from work, and they've got a HK USP45 used for $540. It looked and felt good (I've never fired a USP full size in 45, only in 40), but I am green to this world and wondered if that sounds about right for a used USP. I only own one...
