    Okay, so I got my first 1911...

    First of all, I like it! It looks like this: Except mine is used, got it from someone on gunbroker for just over $500. It has a few marks on it, but it's new to me and by far the purdiest gun I own. Welp, finally had a chance to let her put some lead downrange, so I took a few...

    Mag 'Cocktails'

    I have read more than once that it's a BAD IDEA to mix'n'match various rounds in your defensive mags/cylinders - but why? The more I think about it, it doesn't seem like such a bad idea. I mean, if you practice with a similar setup, you get excellent penetration (FMJ), expansion (JHP), and...

    Looks like Taurus finally as 'Accessories'

    I am curious - has anyone (besides me) found that the 'ribber' grips on the new Taurus revolvers is a tad small for average-to-large hands? It seems no aftermarker grips will fit, but the Taurus web site now shows the standard RUBBER grips for the 'tracker' revolver series - are they in any...
