    Owners' Poll - 3G Millennium Pro

    Really, THR members should be able to report a problem with their Millennium Pros without being labeled as bashers. Folks, too many buyers of these guns are having problems. Yes, they are marvelous when they work. When they work. So let's cut through the smoke, shall we? Let's see how many...

    Elmer Keith vs. Jack O'Connor

    Which one was your favorite? I guess this is for old-timers... Jack was the light-fast bullet man, renowned for championing the .270 back when it came out, with I think 125-gr. bullets. He probably single-handedly made that cartridge happen. I like it and have one in BAR, but use it with the...

    BG Encounters: What are you prepared for?

    Another of the seemingly endless line of .380 threads got me thinking. Why do these arguments about caliber, about how much gun is enough, keep coming up? Very interesting. Guys have taken multiple shots from .357s and similar weapons and not been incapacitated. An article in the latest CH...

    9mm/40SW/10mm/.357 Sig/.45 Comparo

    No one, including me, ever gets tired of comparing ballistics and stopping power for the semi-auto cartridges we love best: 9mm, 40SW, 10mm, .357 Sig, .45 ACP. I included, where possible, a sampling of different manufactures (ex: HP and FMJ) for each one, including +P where I had the data...

    YOUR biggest range goof

    What's your biggest mistake on the range? Whether you were a newbie or not. Understand, I am not picking on newbies. In fact, I suggest you avoid that word entirely. You might, as an alternative, consider relating goofs you pulled on the range when you were, um, younger. [Unless you own a time...

    Ballistics tables spreadsheet - fun!

    I don't know if anyone else shares this interest, but I spreadheeted ballistics info in Excel for a number of popular handgun calibers, both S/Auto and wheelgun. Here is what I included: 1) Bullet weight 2) Bullet type 3) Manufacturer 4) Barrel length 5) Velocity and energy data, both...

    What's in your range bag?

    I carry either a small box (one or two guns) or a larger box (5 or 6 guns) to the range. I used to carry a bag, but got tired of rummaging for things. I don't necessarily use everything every trip, but I have it because it use it. Guns extra mags ammo clip loader eyewear ear muffs, ear...

    Biggest Newbie Mistake at Range?

    What gives away the newbie shooter at the range more than anything else? Is it something he/she says or asks? Is it the gun used or the way the gun is brought in? What say you? At a range in Denver once, a guy brought in a scoped rifle from his car wrapped in a moving blanket.

    The old "for the money" quality qualifier...

    In another thread, the question was asked: is there a better DA/SA for the money than the CZ75? The consensus was, no way. But it got me thinking: what if we take price out of the equation? Different result? I'm not sure I agree with the poster in the other thread who said the 75 is the...

    Why .380 instead of small 9mm?

    This thread is directed to those who carry the .380: With the introduction of small, lightweight, high quality 9mms like the Kahr, why carry a .380? I'd love to hear the reasons out there. I am struggling to answer this question for myself. I recently started a thread about the .380, a...

    Intratec Cat 9 Price Check

    This post is not a joke, unfortunately. I have a Cat 9, with box, 2 mags, VG condition. Gunbroker has two listed, 150 and 200, neither got bids, a bad sign. Any idea what the real street value is? I'm thinking it might work better as a trade in. It is a good shooter, meaning it goes bang...

    Best .380 for CCW, Medium Hands - Poll

    I like a .380 for CCW, for size, weight and thinness. My hands are larger medium size and my Mauser Hsc is a bit small. Also not crazy about the mag release on bottom of grip. I need something a little bigger than the PP/PPK size. The Bersa Thunder and Sig P32 seem too small. Price not over...

    New Orleans Cell Phone - Glock only

    Thought everyone might enjoy Nokia's new cellphone designed specifically for New Orleans. Their partnership with Glock clearly is paying off. Sorry XD fans, only Glocks for now. This may be THE perfect accessory for New Orleans living, but I'm betting people everywhere will want one. I predict...

    Another use for pot-metal pistols

    Another thread on the Jennings got me thinking about pot-metal pistols (call them PMPs, sounds better)... Here in Florida, the 3-day waiting period does not apply IF you are trading in another handgun. I don't think the law dictates that it actually work, because I have a Jennings that needs...
