    Searching for AAC Triad 3-lug

    Anyone have any insider knowledge on how to obtain a AAC Triad 3-lug adapter? These things seem to be the holy grail. Can't even find them on the secondary market.

    Detroit woman killed when "hug" discharges firearm

    I'd be interested in learning more details. It seems to me the guy had to be wearing a shoulder holster, based on the details in this article. Tragic, nonetheless. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/07/08/detroit-woman-killed-when-hug-triggers-officer-gun-police-say/

    Springfield TRP

    I was introduced to handguns via the Glock 22. My pops was a AL State Trooper and he was sold on the platform when they converted to it back in the mid 90s. So I've been a "black-gun guy" most of my "shooting" life (32yrs). Years ago I flirted with the 1911. I bought a Springfield GI in...

    Settle an argument...

    Can anyone tell me what type of pistol the silver one listed in this photograph is? Here is the originating story, in case you were wondering. :D http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20100915/NEWS/100919771?p=1&tc=pg

    Need help with Tupperware Troubleshooting...

    I had a great night at the range. 200 rounds through my M&P9. About 90 rounds of 223 through my AR at 100m. All reloads and I still have all my fingers. The .223 groups were sufficient. My dad, however, didn't have such a great night. He was shooting his Glock 22 and some of our reloads. He...

    Punching off primer cap only...

    I've run across a rather unusual set of problems while loading 9mm. I'm using mixed nickle brass and an RCBS decapping/sizing die. An average of 1 in every 7 pieces of brass run through the decapping/sizing die just pops the cap of the primer off, leaving the rest of the cup embedded in...

    Multiple failures to fire...

    Frustrating day at the range (M&Ps)...

    So I loaded up my M&P9, M&P40, and AR and headed to my range this afternoon. With me, I took some new 223 reloads for my AR, some factory WWB 9mm, and some new 40S&W handloads. What followed was one of the most frustrating range sessions I've had in recent memory. Let's talk about the...

    First 40S&W handloads - FAIL!

    I'm new to reloading. I understand if you stop reading this postright now. :) I've been reloading .223 for a few weeks, and I've been real successful with some light loads. Until last week, I was unable to find any small pistol primers, which was the only component prohibiting me from...

    Kudos to Smith and Wesson customer service!

    I recently had an issue with the mag release of my new M&P9c. The little compact didn't live up to the standards that were set by my M&P9 as far as reliability goes. I called Smith and they said it needed to come back to the factory. They emailed me a pre-paid UPS next day air label. I wrote...

    M&P9c Problem - Think my mag release is broken

    Well, I think it finally happened. I was shooting rounds 300 - 400 through it today and I think my mag release finally gave way. I'm not sure of the exact problem that some of you have been experiencing (jragsdale, dhart, to name a few), but here is what mine is doing. With slide locked...

    Have you purchased from Magpul?

    I purchased some of their new AR polymags last Friday and they have yet to ship and they don't seem to be returning customer service emails. Granted, we had the holiday on Monday, but I figured they would have processed the order by now. Also granted, I get completely overzealous when I order...

    G19 front sight broke. Fix?

    Greetings everyone, I recently did a trade with a guy that required us shipping our handguns to each other (via FFL of course). I got mine today. It is a G19. But the front sight is broke and I was curious as to how to repair this. It must have broken during transit. I've read a lot about...

    Which night sights for my G19?

    I'm going to add some night sights to my G19 and/or my G26. What would you recommend as far as a manufacturer goes. I know that Trijicon are solid products, but what about Meprolight and other companies? Thanks in Advance.

    1911 - Lightweight Frames

    I'm considering purchasing a new 1911 (45 of course) from either SA or SW. I have been looking at the aluminum alloy and scandium offerings from both companies. While I know there is no better way to learn than shoot them, my range doesn't rent either. So, can fellow THRers come through...

    Should I get rid of these two guns?

    Guys and Gals, First of all, let me state that I'm a big proponent of keeping any gun you ever buy. One of the only guns I've ever sold was a Sig P232 that I desperately regret selling. With that being said, I have two guns in my collection that I'm considering getting rid of because I...
