What about Puerto Rico?

I will probably be going to Puerto Rico on business. Anyone know about CHL there? I figure it's unlikely, but I thought it was worth asking.

Response to mag discussion

pbandjelly ProMag was $14.95, capacity of 7, and it did have the finger groove. Even though mine functioned well, I would agree with Lumberjack98 that they would be best used for range work and stick to the factory mags for carry. In addition to the weaker spring, there was a different feel to inser...

Bersa Thunder 380 Range Report

I recently tracked down a Bersa Thunder 380 at Academy here in Houston and snapped it up because they are hard to find (at least for the $218 Academy price anyway). Also, I bought one of the ProMag brand mags. I finally made it to the range today to break in the gun, so I thought I would report. Out...

Thinking while waiting.

While reflecting upon ideas like "patience is a virtue", and other pearls of wisdom, blah blah blah, I remembered one of my favorite lines from The Simpsons. Moe: Oh, boy! The deep fryer's here. Heh heh, I got it used from the navy. You can flash-fry a buffalo in forty seconds. Homer: Fort...

Half Cock Function Explanation/Clarification?

Hello All, Can someone explain to me the purpose of the half-cock position on a semi-auto? I have several small Berettas (.22 caliber 21a and a .32 caliber Model 70) that have this, but I am unclear as to it's true purpose. I used to think that it was better to have it in this position if you were c...

I hope this is wrong!

Personally, I was hoping that prices had peaked. I haven't shot steadily in years, but this year my wife and I decided to get CHL. I had to make multiple trips to the range to get my wife comfortable before class, and I began to wonder whether or not I was going to be able to afford it. I have been ...

Almost the same exact schedule as mine.

You have almost exactly the same timeline as me. I was glad to see that the DPS seems to be picking up the pace compared to earlier posts.
It will be interesting to see how we compare in the end with you being in Austin and me being in Houston. Good luck on the waiting.
