A sad but somewhat entertaining story; at least she didn't get tazered... http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory?id=787174 CHARLOTTE, N.C. May 24, 2005 — An 86-year-old woman has been sent to jail after police said she called 911 dispatchers 20 times in a little more than a half-hour to...

Did a major OOPS... Saw another gun I just had to have, and $700 later it's on the way here. Wife asks me today, "Honey, what was this $700 for?" :eek: Deer in the headlights look! "Did you buy ANOTHER gun?" Uh-Oh! :uhoh: Wife then offers (as she usually does), "I don't care that you...

I'm trying to decide whether I want to get the Trijicon TA31 (A or F) or an Aimpoint M2 (or M3). I've read lots of great comments about both, and can't seem to find anything wrong with either, so I figured I'd see what a poll comes up with. I didn't include any other choices, though I know...

Hi 'Tuner, I don't want to start a debate on the relative merit of parts replacement, but I suppose that may be inevitable with this thread. I've got a Kimber Custom CDP and a Kimber Stainless TLE II, and at some point I want to replace the more important [MIM] parts with "higher quality"...

I haven't seen any comments (though I haven't looked too hard), on the Blade-Tech Injection Molded Holsters. I have a couple Blade-Tech Kydex holsters, and I think they are top notch. However, I'm curious how the injection molded compares with the Kydex. Anyone have any experience with the...

I'm looking for a revolver for IDPA. I was originally going to get a Ruger GP-100 since they are less money for the quality. However, I was reading some posts that mentioned the S&W 625, 610, and 646 as ruling the roost in most IDPA matches. The general concensus seemed to be that short...

I'm getting strange vibes from my XD's... I shot about 300 rds through my XD9 Service (4") on Sunday, and 200 rds through my XD9 Tactical (5") today. I'm having trouble figuring out what specifically is bugging me, but after my range session today, I'm pretty much convinced the Service shoots...

I'm considering a possible trade of my Kimber Stainless TLE II for a CZ 75 IPSC. The seller is in CA, and we have not yet determined if the Stainless TLE is on the CA approved list. I went to the CA DOJ website and tried the search engine and the Stainless TLE was not specifically named...

For those who saw my post yesterday, well tonight was the IDPA match, and it was TOTALLY AWESOME! I've never had more fun shooting than I did tonight. The match was exceptionally well organized, managed, and all the shooters were as friendly as could be (especially in helping the new guy)...

Hi all, Well I'm finally going to get into my first IDPA match tomorrow night. The club President already told me not to worry about gear and guns too much; he said they don't get too wrapped around the rule book for new, unclassified shooters. I've heard this club is very well run, so I...

o.k., here's the long version of my problem... I just got my hands on a Colt 1911 .38 Super that I bought via Gunbroker. The seller advertised the gun as NIB, but already custom tuned by Cylinder & Slide. The description included a scan of the C&S worksheet, including gun type, serial #...

Does IDPA regulate use of grip tape (skateboard tape, or similar)? This may sound strange to some, but I put some tape on my CZ 75 where my weak hand thumb rests on the frame, as well as on the front and backstrap (I might add some under the trigger guard too). I'm planning to try my first...

Does anyone here have any personal experience with both weapons? If so, what are your impressions? I've never fired either gun, but I've been searching for a new 9mm, and both of these guns felt very natural and comfortable in the hand. Sometimes you can handle a gun and something just pops...

I've read a few posts about various caliber conversions, 38 Super to 9mm, 10mm to 40S&W, or vice versa, as well as some others. I didn't see a 40S&W to 38 Super (or 9mm (x19 or x23)) conversion. The breachface is different, so a new slide & barrel setup would be needed. However, would the frame...

I don't mind full length guide rods, but for simplicity of take down and cleaning (please, let's not debate this), I was going to replace my Kimber full length guide rods with standard guide rods. This morning however, I had another thought... Can you simply cut down the factory full length...

... why I love shooting 10mm so much! I finally picked up my Delta Elite yesterday afternoon. While I was waiting for the NCIC call-back, I went into the range and fired a box of ammo through my Beretta 96. Hmmm... Not much push, but a lot of muzzle flip, and "snappy" as someone once put it...

I was reading a thread at berettaforum.com about a new Beretta model due out in the near (?) future, which for the time being is called the PX4 (?). Anyone here have any info on that topic? I've attached a picture of the Beretta I want, even though it doesn't exist... ;)

I've come across a NIB Ed Brown Kobra for about $1,700, and I'm debating about the purchase. I've bought several 1911's lately, but nothing in this class. I'll probably have to sell something I just bought to make up for the cash necessary to buy the Kobra, but I'm having a hard time talking...

As the subject says, can you ream a 9x19 barrel and make it a 9x23 barrel? The gun is a Springfield Armory P-9 and the 9x19 barrel is fully supported & ramped. Would making this conversion create any unsafe conditions? On the surface it sounded like a reasonable proposition, but I'm a novice...

1911 vs P220 - Sig vs Kimber About a month and a half ago I went the gun store, pointed to the Kimber TLE and said, "I'll take it." VA is a one gun per 30 calendar days State, and I had just bought a Kel-Tec P3AT a couple weeks before that, so I couldn't take the Kimber home that day. Now...
