Hello, I was gifted a S&W model 10 in Mexico. The guns was originally bought in the US and imported into Mexico and consequently registered with the local military post. In any case, I would like to bring it back to the US. I have a Texas CHL. Given that the point of entry is a federal...

I'm a newby to hunting deer. I have mostly hunted javalina with a 30-30 using iron sights. However, I would like to start hunting deer. What would be a good, first rifle/scope combo for deer hunting in South Texas—preferably a bolt action or semi? I'm not so much interested in caliber...

In selecting a conceal carry pistol for IWB, aside from choosing one that is reliable and manageable for the shooter, what characteristics of the pistol influence most the comfort of carrying it or lack thereof? I have observed that several of the compact models reduce the height and leave the...

How do you make the transition from being a keep the gun in the safe to a concealed carry gun owner? This question is specifically regarding the safety issues with young kids in the family. One of my main fears is being careless and leaving the gun on a counter or forgetting it in a non secure...

I have an XD 9mm Standard. I can barely load 13 rounds into either factory magazine that came with it. Is it a matter of getting stronger fingers from more practice? I have reasonably strong hands from gardening and working on the car but the magazines are just too hard push in. Is this...

In Texas the castle laws allow for carrying a firearm in the car as it is considered an extension of the castle. Does this apply to carrying a firearm not on your person but inside a small pouch attached to the bicycle frame. Can the bicycle be considered an extension of the castle, too...

The other night, at almost 11 PM, I received a phone call. Instinctively, I answered the phone without checking the incoming number. The guy on the other side identified himself as Wal-Mart security, supposedly, calling me because a customer named XXXX left his wallet at the store and they...

In the last month and a half, there have been a series of mass murders, cop killings, and people killing themselves and their families for no apparent reason other than they flipped and decided to take revenge on the world. Needles to say, the media is all over the stories. Whereas this may...

The other day I went to wally world, and for the fourth consecutive time they were out of 9 mm ammo. The whole ammo shelf looked pretty grim. And it suddenly crossed my mind, should I start buying ammo for firearms I don't even own? I didn't, but it left me wondering how many fellow THRs are...

I am thinking of getting my CCW license. However, I really doubt I would actually carry a gun, mostly because I have a standard issue pistol that would be too bulky and I don't feel like buying another gun to carry. Perhaps I’d keep it locked in the glove compartment of my car. Mostly, I’d...

I need help deciding my next firearm purchase. I have 2 pistols, a 9mm XD standard and a 22 buckmark. I'm debating on buying a shotgun, mossberg 500 or remington 870, or a 9mm bersa thunder. I like these choice because I think they offer good bang for my buck. Given what I have, what do you...

Today congress passed legislation, which President Bush will sign into law, that extends to the executive branch the liberty to wiretap international calls and electronic communication. Did America just choose security at the expense of freedom?

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, A friend of mine has this relic as decoration in his home bar. It caught my eye because it says made in Spain and on the barrel, it says USE US STANDARD AMMUNITION. Markings: Barrel RIGHT: USE US STANDARD AMMUNITION Barrel TOP: MAS DE BENITO GUISASOLA EIGAR BARREL...

I often hear that the .357 revolver's muzzle flash and noise would leave you momentarily blind and deaf for a couple of days, especially when fired in the dead of night. My question is how does the .357 Sig compare in muzzle flash and noise level to the .357 revolver. Assume that both guns...

I need help understanding the logic for using JHP instead of FMJ, especifically regarding the 9mm bullet. Per the FBI’s document, “Handguns Wounding Factors and Effectiveness,” the risk to bystanders as a result of over penetration is negligible, temporary cavity does not wound, and knock...

I’d like some feedback on the differences between the CZ-75B and CZ-75 P01, both in 9MM. . I appreciate is you can focus your feedback to the following topics: 1. Accuracy 2. Ergonomics 3. Reliability Thank you

Let me start by saying that this post is not intended to start a debate on stopping power, on my gun makes bigger holes than yours, or the .45 ACP is better than the 9mm. That horse has been kicked one too many times. Recently, the term home invasion, as in the case where two or more thugs...
