A snarky person would probably describe it as 'a Taurus revolver with actual QC', but it sounds like they've started a version of the 'Performance Center' or 'Custom Shop' for Taurus revolvers: Taurus Executive Grade I can't help but think this is like the 'Hyundai/Genesis' marketing scheme...

I've started looking for a SA .45, because I'm old, and now naturally want to be a cowboy. :) Rugers are unobtainium these days, and I'm hearing the Italian clones are very viable guns nowadays, so I'm looking at those. The issue I'm running in to is trying to make sense of how the different...

Didn't see this posted anywhere else (even searched) so sorry if it's a dupe: Finally upped the capacity on the Shield, but I think they're still a bit behind the curve; the 4" barrel looks interesting, though. Larry

But data from the 'hey, jackass' website, which tracks Chicago shootings on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and historical basis, shows some clear trends in terms of shot placement and lethality. 2020 Shot Placement Placement Killed Wounded head 206...

There have been an unprecedented number of first-time gun buyers in the last several months; one large gunshop near me reports that about half of their sales are to first-time gun owners. These sales were largely prompted by one thing-fear. The pandemic, the unrest across the nation and the...

If things work out right, we'll be walking our new acreage in TN next month; heavily wooded and far enough from population centers that medical help will likely be some time out. In addition, we'll be visiting some smaller cities and maybe Chattanooga, so normal SD will be important some of the...

So it looks like Kahr has updated their budget 'CW' line, adding three dot sights and a second magazine: Kahr S9 Certainly, they have to have been feeling the pressure from S&W Shields selling well below $300, Walther's price reduction on the PPS (I bought my M1 for ~$600, now they're on sale...

I got an XD-S in .45 for $299 at the LGS a couple months back, and so figured this was coming; the XD-S Mod 2. I'd have to handle one to see how much the grip is improved, but don't see many other changes? Larry

My wife struggles with an extreme sensitivity to both blast and recoil; after a great deal of hard work, she can (finally) deal fairly well with a .22 handgun. She chose a Ruger LCR .22LR for her carry gun, but she (and I, to tell the truth) struggle with the heavy trigger and primitive sights...

Hmm...anybody believe this might come out in 9MM eventually? http://www.springfield-armory.com/products/911-380-acp/ Larry

I haven't been searching for new guns lately (trying to find my next motorcycle has distracted me, I think), but I saw this ad and had to bite-especially when the wife suggested it could be my birthday present, and make her life easier. :)...

I recently heard the statement that: "Gun control advocates can also respect gun rights." Without discussing my impressions of that statement, I'd be interested in hearing the responses of those who frequent this board. Thanks, Larry

Well, today this happened: After field stripping the gun following a range session, looks like the MIM disconnector on my Sig Nightmare Carry has failed. With SIG not willing to send a shipping label (even though the gun and part are under warranty), looks like I'll be buying and installing a...

Well, that's sure what it's looking like to me: http://www.guns.com/2015/02/23/beretta-announces-striker-fired-apx-pistol-for-service/ I guess if they were worried that the Big G would beat them for the military contract, they decided it would just be easier to make one themselves. :) Larry

I've gotten myself set up to start doing Cerakote on a couple project guns, and was wondering where folks are buying the product? Brownell's is carrying 'kits' (with the measuring tubes and such) for a few colors, and Midway has lots of colors listed, with almost none in stock. Is there a...

A while back I read about a new 9MM pistol from a company FMK, based in California, which initially released the gun in a DAO variant slathered with pro-second amendment engravings; the engravings seem to have been the main focus for most of the reviews, and the gun itself seems to have gotten...

I need a Novak rear sight for a Browning Hi-Power; it seems Brownells and Midway only sell the 1911 version, which can also be fitted, but not the dedicated BHP version (item # Item Number: DCRMKIII01, old style). Novaks wants $15 to ship a single rear sight (I even wrote Novaks to confirm...

Further proof that simply HAVING a gun doesn't make you safe; situational awareness is a necessary component of ANY effective defensive strategy. Sadly, it sounds like this officer was taken unawares, and is now hospitalized in serious condition, and his service weapon is in the hands of his...

Which will likely save me a ton of money in the long run; we're in there three or four times a week. I wrote to them expressing my displeasure with their treatment of their pharmacist who was fired in 2011 for shooting at a robber REPEATEDLY PULLING THE TRIGGER of a jammed gun he was pointing...

I never realized that it was unsafe to carry a Glock with the standard 5.5# trigger (I even-GASP-carry one with a 3.5# connector!), but apparently it is. It's apparently far safer to carry a Glock with a 22.5# first trigger pull. I can only imagine how much better I would shoot with a trigger...
