So, I'm finally back online after my compter decided to have a breakdown on me. I'm wishing I could just take it out and put it out of its misery, but I don't think that I could afford to do that yet. So lets see some pics of your version of the blue screen of death.

Today I finally made it out to one of my local ranges to test out the additions I have added to my Colt Series 80 1911. I added a Wilson drop in beavertail grip, a Wilson Value Line Speed Hammer, a Chip McCormick ultralight match trigger, Wolff 18.5# recoil spring and the accompanying FP spring...

I got a pretty decent refund this year so I've been eyeing a lot of little goodies. So far I've got a new hammer and drop in beavertail grip and Wolff recoil spring for my 1911. And I have also ordered a Weigland weaver rail, and choate pistol grip stock for my mini-14. I'm also going to get a...

Today has got to be my best day as being a gun owner. I finally broke my girlfriend of her misconceptions of owning guns and especially CCW. We were just shooting the breeze, and I decided to put on the new set of grips I got for my Colt 1911. She had never handled a handgun before, and so she...

Well I ordered a Galco NSAII yesterday for my colt 1911. I won't be able to CCW for another year, long stupid story. But I wanted to get a decent holster to practice with at the range. What do yall 1911 carriers prefer for a CCW holster? And I don't have another pistol, so I'm not really...

I was just looking over the Sig website and came across this . That is one fine looking 1911. Anyone here have any shooting time with one of these? And if so, what did it cost?

So I'm signing up to take the civil service (police) exam this week, and even though I don't want to jump the gun (pardon the pun), I am trying to evaluate which sidearm would be the best for me if I have a choice in the matter. I am looking to see what you LEO's here carry on the job. So lets...

Story Here Jan 30, 8:00 AM (ET) NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A New Orleans-based rap artist already wanted in his hometown for probation violation was arrested in Memphis, Tenn., and charged in the shooting of two deputies who were searching an apartment for heroin. Tab Virgil Jr., a...

So a couple of nights ago I was talking with my mother on the phone. When she had gotten home that day, there was a note on the door (it was on pretty much every door in the neighborhood). In the note there was a description of a home invasion that happened to a resident on the next block down...

So what are some good techniques to work up to better handgun distance shooting. My groups are good out to about 10 yrds, but past that they get really loose. Anyone have some specific methods they have used to get better at shooting longer distances. Looking for ideas to structure my own range...

Shooter Snobery So I stopped into one of the local shops here (Barney's for those of you in the area) last night to buy another mag for my new purchase. I was kind of bumming it in some longish shorts, skate shoes, longish hair (but clean and kept in place by my ball cap), big t-shirt, and...

So when I picked up my new gun I got a couple of boxes of the Federal EFMJ 165 gr. rounds to go with it. I read an article about the ammo and figured I give it a try. I like the fact that it starts to deform as soon as it makes contact with any barrier and not needing fluid to start its...

Since I might be getting a FAL soon, what is some pretty good, yet inexpensive .308 round? I know that .308 is no where near as cheap to shoot as .223 or 7.62x39, but what should I be looking for? Any sugestions are welcomed.

I've been looking around Academy Sports and they have these Rugar 10/22 Brazilian Made knock-offs that are made by a company I believe is called MecGear? Does anyone know of these guns. They seem ok and all, and they are only 90 bucks. For a 22lr, its seems like a good deal. Anyone know anything...

I finally gave in and decided to purchase my first 1911. I'm waiting on a delay on my background check before I pick up my Colt series 80. It wasn't the best price I could have gotten, but the customer service was outstanding at the shop I was in, and I'd rather go with the local guys. Besides...

So while I was out and about today I decided to go visit a local gunstore to take another look at a FN-FAL I saw last week. It's a sporter version, comes w/2 mags, has black handguard, and wood stock. It looks really clean with only slight wear marks from the charging handle, but that's because...

Well, today was my day off, so naturally I decided to go look at some guns. I have been out all day and ended up at a store with something I wanted. It was close to closing time and after the guys there were really great with customer service, I found myself setting up financing on a new...

So I was out buying ammo today, and was plesently surprised when I was actually allowed to walk through Academy Sports while holding a couple of boxes of handgun ammo. I just moved to Lafayette, LA from New Orleans, LA. Back in N.O. every store that wasn't a dedicated gun shop had you escorted...

Well I was out exploring my new town, and I went to a range that a fellow THR member suggested. So I was asking them all the usual questions, and I was told that no CCI Blazer ammo was allowed on their range. I was told they didn't allow it because of casings exploding. Now I have been shooting...

Anyone going to the gun show this weekend in Kenner? Anyone have anything good to say about it. It's pretty much the only local gunshow in the New Orleans area.
