handgun

Looking at RMR sights perched on top of a handgun slide... Every time I wonder: these things were designed for rifles, and it shows. Why don't they make smaller models to fit on handguns? They are definitely way better than any iron sight, but so bulky and plain boar-ass ugly on a handgun...

Sounds pretty ridiculous, right? Well it happened to me a couple of weeks ago. So I was on business travel and got into town late. I found a motel that was open (the previous three were booked due to the convention). This one wasn't great and it was across town but I only needed a place to...

Instead of learning world history calculus and graduating from pharmacy school. I wish I was taking courses on handguns, origins , ammunition’s , tactical gear etc. Feels like a making of Harry Potter movie. But seriously I’m a newbie or dare I say a 22lr’e ( I only say that because everything I...

Hello all , Let’s make this short and sweet. I’m an 80s baby ,father , husband , pharmacist , who just purchased a home in nj because my birth state /city of ny decided they wanted to price people out. Currently awaiting my firearms ID card and handgun purchase permit to comeback. I’ve been...

Hey guys so currently I'm 20 turning 21 in October and I'm trying to get all my preparations around for buying my first handgun, a problem I've run into is that I'm looking at getting a Walther PPQ M2 but none of the local gun stores carry them that I've seen. My question is would I be able to...

Tonight I went to range and decided to rent a few pistols I haven't tried out yet. I recently bought my first 9mm (SW Shield) but wanted to try out some full size pistols. I recently had tried Glock 19 which I found to group decent and be a decent shooter even with the stock sights. So tonight I...

We've had several threads recently that have shown, to my mind, inscrutable consistencies. One side always comes in with 'Handgun stopping power is a myth. and all handgun calibers are essentially within 20% effectiveness of each other. One poster asserted that the .357 Mag. is no more than...

Hi all - I'm moving to California (reluctantly). Am I correct in understanding that no new handgun models have been available there since they passed a law requiring special forensic markings on the ammo? I was thinking about an H&K VP9 or a Gen 5 Glock 19 (not sure if Gen 5 counts as a new...

First of all, hi everyone, I'm Desert Beagle, new on this forum, thanks for having me here. About my question, I'm a ruger mark 4 owner, and accurate as it is (I'm not a good shot, but I managed to take some 100yd hits with my RMR, and I even watched videos of people hitting some metal at 200yd...

Hey there, this is my first day on the forum. I will be moving out of my parents place in roughly a year and living aboard a sailboat (yes, I know it's crazy). But I don't want to be out on a boat on my own where no help would be able to come for a while if I got into trouble. So I would like to...

Hello everyone, please excuse my newness to the forum. I've been browsing and reading articles for years and decided to join to ask a few questions. The foremost one on my mind is if I am ordering a handgun that is out of state (in this case, from a seller on Gun Broker), can I do so before my...

Hey guys, I posted this on thefiringline as well, just wanted to get some suggestions on a potential purchase of a new pistol for my wife. My wife and I have just gotten into shooting, it's been about 14 months now are we are really enjoying it. We've picked up a few pieces over the last six...

Good Morning THR Forum, Can someone clarify the process for me on renewing a cpl in Michigan? To my understanding... 1. You can apply to renew your CPL 6-months prior to its expiration. 2. You need to bring $115 check to the count clerk office with the application. (now here is the confusing...

It is not a major thing but since I've been carrying my M&P Shield, I've noticed brown spots. I carry it all year round, in a Kydex holster, and sometimes the rear makes contact with my gut. Prior to carrying in the Kydex holster, I carried in a hybrid holster. I took a look at it the other day...

Hi, Looking for a full size 22LR semi auto I can shoot, shoot, and shoot! That would be its only purpose in life. I have guns for other purposes. Would take it to the range and shoot, shoot, and shoot. Would get a good number of mags, but otherwise would not modify it. Need a good handgun to...

I just wrote an article about diagnosing problems in handgun shooting, aimed (ha!) at folks who either carry concealed or are preparing to do so. You can read it here: http://www.usacarry.com/diagnosing-shooting-problems/ I'm only one person, with limited experience and a single point of view...

. California laws often cite exemptions for loaning guns to immediate family members. Does anyone have insight regarding a roommate or unregistered partner? Assumption the roommate or partner is not prohibited by law to own a firearm. . I own registered handguns in the state and as a...

Howdy all, I just registered here in order to try to get an answer for something that's been on my mind for a couple months, I really hope I got this post right; I currently possess multiple legal semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, and a SW model 29, yet these firearms are not in my name...

I want to put one of my handguns in my bedside table drawer. Ideally it should have a quick-release system such as a short combination of finger presses then pop up to reveal the gun, butt first. I bought a $199 hornady safe but it's far too big to fit. Anyone got any ideas?
