    I present the German big bore cousins.

    God, I love these handy little German compact pistols. My CPO Sig P229 .40 was the best $500 I ever spent and the Heckler und Koch USP Compact .45 is a totally sweet machine in its own right. How could I ever choose between these two?

    Where to buy bulk premium JHP ammo for my carry guns?

    Ammunition To Go used to be a great place to find premium JHP ammo like Gold Dots and HST in 50 round boxes for reasonable prices. These days, not so much. My recently acquired P7M8 only likes 124gr ammo (gas piston wasn't designed for 147gr), so I can't use any of the 147gr JHP I have laying...

    If first you don't succeed, try again!

    Especially when it comes to finding the right concealed carry pistol and holster. After 4-5 different guns and 5+ years of hating IWB carry, I finally found a system that works. - Walther PPS 9mm in OD green w/ Meprolight night sights - TT Gunleather Slim IWB holster, 1.5" gun belt, and pocket...

    Okay...it's getting out of hand now.

    I'm talking about my stash of pistol magazines. I have at least 7-10 per pistol that I own and I'm up to 7 right now (I think). They are always getting mixed up and when it comes time to go to the range it becomes a real PITA. What am I doing wrong here? :banghead: I know there is someone...

    Interesting private handgun sale situation involving LEO in NC - Need your help!!!

    Hi folks, I've found myself in a bit of an odd situation over a pending trade deal and could really use some advice. I found a LEO here in North Carolina (not in my county though) that has a P7M8 and he wants to meet up face to face to trade me for a few of my handguns. However, he is...

    Question about mechanical accuracy of SA Range Officer 1911.

    Hi all, Recently picked up a Range Officer 1911. My first time out with it, I was surprised to find that I was shooting my Walther PPS 9mm better even though it has a little 2-finger grip on it and a barrel almost half the length! Then when I field stripped it for cleaning, I checked the...

    Just installed large backstrap on P99 - better, but still not fully satisfied.

    I wasn't too satisfied with the medium or small backstraps on my P99 because they didn't fill my hand enough towards the top where the web of my hand is. As a result, the trigger reach was way too short and my shooting hand thumb would keep getting in the way of my trigger finger as it came...

    Question about replacing SA 1911 adjustable sights.

    Hi everyone, I posted this in the Autoloaders forum as well, but I am not getting any responses and really need an answer as soon as possible! I'm hoping someone around here can help a brother out! I just got my Harrison fixed rear in to replace the stock LPA adjustables on my Range...

    Recommendation for laser bore sight that works with 3" pistols?

    I just bought this Site-Lite SL-100 laser bore sight from MidwayUSA and I'm pretty disappointed in it. It's very well made and seems like it would work well with 4.5"-5" pistols, but the probe that extends into the barrel is too long to work with my Walther PPS. It hits the breech face before...

    Question about replacing SA 1911 adjustable sights.

    Hi everyone, I just got my Harrison fixed rear in to replace the stock LPA adjustables on my Range Officer, but I have a slight problem. I don't know which direction to drift them out!!! Been searching for a while now and still can't find anything. Not even a youtube video! Also, are...

    Is my Walther P99 on Cali's approved list?

    Hi everyone, Trying my luck here since the Legal forum doesn't get much traffic... Kind of confused on how this works. Have a P99 on GB.com and I keep getting this question from California residents that are interested in my gun. The item number on my P99 box says WAP77010, which is the...

    Meprolight night sights for PPS have very poor fit. What kind of file to use?

    Hi everyone, I ran into a problem when trying to install new Meprolight night sights on my PPS. The front sight base is too long and doesn't lay flat on the slide like it's supposed to. I read that this was a common issue for the PPS Meprolights, but I took my chances anyways because I prefer...

    XDs 9mm is here

    For those of you that hadn't heard, the 9mm XDs was announced at SHOT this week. http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/springfield-armory-xd-s-9mm-media-day-at-the-range-shot-2013/ I just bought a Walther PPS in 9mm, so I probably won't be getting the XDs myself, but having more options to...

    Which Meprolight sight # for Sig P229?

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to order some Meprolight night sights for my Sig P229 and I'm having trouble deciding which number front sight to buy. Most places are saying #8 front/#8 rear for 9mm/.357 Sig models and #6 front/#8 rear for .40/.45 models. Considering my P229 can be a .40 or .357 with...

    Walther P99 vs PPQ..I went with the P99.

    I was a little bummed to say the least after I heard the recent news over the PPQ "M1" being discontinued here in the U.S. The PPQ was going to be my next 9mm purchase. After a lot of internet searching and phone calls to local (and not so local) gun shops without any success, I basically gave...

    Picked up a couple of new single-stack pistols!

    Well, the Range Officer is new anyways... The PPS had 50 rounds through it, but looks new to me. :D I knew I needed a solid 1911, but didn't want to pay too much money for one. The Range Officer just fit the bill perfectly in terms of features and price. Actually, it only cost me $300! My...

    Looking for recommendation on where to buy FN SCAR 16S

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to pick up a SCAR 16s rifle in black. Having a pretty hard time locating one at a fair price these days with all the panic buying going on. I was hoping the good folks of THR can point me in the right direction. Is there anyone out there you would recommend working...

    More fantastic work from TT Gunleather!

    Santa brought me some early Christmas gifts this year. The 26 is in Tim's IWB Slim Holster model and the 17 is in his Elite DDOE Snap Removable Holster OWB model. The Elite DDOE holster and matching double mag holder have caiman skin trim. Just beautiful work all the way around. Fit and...

    Are 10mm/.45acp Glocks fatter at the grip than the smaller caliber Glocks?

    Hey all, I happened to stop at a new Gander Mountain store that opened up here recently, and I was checking out their selection of Glocks when I noticed something interesting. The grip width of the 10mm/.45acp models did not appear any thicker (from side to side) than the 9mm/.40 models. I...
