Does anyone here carry a Canik TP9 Elite SC? That is their sub compact model, if you can call it that. It's a little on the porky side for a sub compact. I currently carry a Shield Plus which I like a lot for it's intended purpose. But I have a Canik Rival which is absolutely the best...

I would like to get a feel for how I'm shooting. I don't shoot competitively, just against myself, always trying to improve. I'm retired and go to the range on weekdays, so about 90% of the time I'm at my outdoor club range and no one else is there. I'm standing, shooting unsupported with a...

My wife has been pretty good about my gun purchases, but now it's getting to the point where I have to let one go. I know that it will hurt most of you guys to think such a thing. But to keep peace and have the ability to keep purchasing new guns, I have to let one go now and then. So my...

I took my Canik Rival apart yesterday and now I can't get it back together. Caniks have take down catches which get pulled down and then the slide moves forward about an inch and then gets pulled up to remove the slide. The slide does not get moved all the way forward to be removed from the...

I currently own a Shield Plus Performance Center that I really like. So I'm considering an M&P M2.0 as a next purchase. When I watch YT video reviews of these guns, no one seems to like the hinged triggers, yet some folks are saying that the new models have better triggers. Does that mean...

Anyone here have any experience with the Mako? I saw one last fall and liked it. It's now peaked my interest again. Anyone have one and care to talk about it? Thanks.

Ever notice that everyone (or almost everyone) thinks that the trigger on their striker fired gun is the best? Have these folks actually tried most or even some of the available triggers? I'm pretty sure that I haven't. But I have tried (as in dry fired) the triggers of just about all of the...

I went back to the range yesterday with the Shield and also took my CZ P07. I only took 50 rounds because it was cold and had snowed about an inch the day before. The ammo was Federal 115 gr. FMJ. I started out with 15 rounds through the CZ. I wasn't happy with my performance the last time...

I picked up my new Shield Plus Performance Center the other day and got to the range yesterday. First off I'll say that I really like this little pistol. I was hoping that it would be an improvement for me over my recently purchased Hellcat. It was. The Hellcat worked fine but it wasn't for me...

My LGS has a P320 Xcarry Legion that is really sweet. I saw it the other day and have been lusting after it since. I had not been looking for anything like that, but here I am seriously considering it. Sometimes you need something you didn't know that you needed. The problem is that I don't know...

As soon as I picked up my Hellcat last week, I ordered the CYA Supplies IWB holster and a Hogue grip. I wanted a minimalist holster and I'm liking this CWA. It's made in America, Veteran owned, Lifetime warranty, and they even sent along a little allen key for adjusting the retention. My Hogue...

I bought a Vortex Venom for my Canik TP9SFx and mounted it yesterday. No problems as the gun is cut for an optic and the mount went smoothly. I took it to the range today and what a revelation! It took me about 40 rounds to get it dialed in and get used to it. After that I was shooting at least...

Ever shoot more accurately with a gun you haven't shot before? Not long ago I was at the range and was talking to one of the other members that I have seen there before. He wasn't happy with his performance that day. I asked what he was using and it was a Glock (I'll guess a 19 or 17 but not...

I don't shoot competitively, just against myself, but I've been wondering which is more predominant in pistol matches: hammer fired or striker fired? And what are the winners using? I get the feeling that Glocks are used a lot and maybe some Canik TP9SFXs and probably some others. I also...

I went to a gun show on Sunday not planning to buy anything except lunch and maybe some targets. I played with a few guns but wasn't moved by anything until I saw a Browning BDM. I don't know what year it was made, but I figure it's probably around 25 years old. I've been to the Browning...

I don't think I've shot my SP2022 in at least three or four years, usually taking a more recent purchase with me to shoot. I bought this pistol used from Gunbroker probably eight or ten years ago. I've always liked this gun and usually shoot well with it (although shooting well is relative of...

I picked up a Canik TP9 Elite SC yesterday at the Gettysburg gun show. It looked interesting and I got interested. I knew that Canik had a good reputation, but other than that I knew nothing about this pistol. I didn't realize until I got home and did a little searching that this is a new...

Some of you have seen my post about the Ruger M77 Mk II that I bought over the weekend. The barrel on that 20 year old rifle is not free-floated. Looking at the picture of the fore end it is obvious that it couldn't be. It has those two screws going through it (see picture below). So I...

I have been thinking about getting another rifle for the fun of it. I certainly don't need another rifle. Been thinking about something in .243. I don't hunt, so anything I get would be used for punching paper. I don't shoot competitively so I don't need the most exacting of rifles. As a...

Can someone explain the difference between 'controlled feed' and 'push feed' bolt actions for me? I've already got a thread going about a CZ 527 American that I'm considering. Per CZ's site "the CZ 527 is a true micro length Mauser style action and features controlled round feed". It seems...
