I completely agree with all of the recommendations to try before your buy and to be an informed buyer. Having said that, when it came time to get a handgun for my wife, I took her to a Cabela's, located a gentleman behind the gun counter who seemed to be frendly and knowledgable and had enough white...

I've been living in the UK since early May on a work assignment. In a discussion with three of my colleagues at the office yesterday, after expressing condolences for the dead and injured, I stated that I can't understand why 5 or 10 of the youth on the island didn't rush the guy and take him down. ...

I've had the slide of my CZ-75 launch across the room once. It happened while I was working the action after oiling and before I put the slide stop back in. I had inadvertantly ended up with some oil on my fingers and lost my grip. I was observing Rule #2, not pointing at anything of particular valu...

Just. Wow. Six pages? Really? Talk about thread hijack. Where did the connection to CHL go? Keep right unless passing. If you are passing in the left lane and somebody else is trying to pass faster (that is, pass you), work it out being courteous and polite. Maybe he waits. Maybe you wait. Whatever....

One of my sons bought one recently. We both shot it shortly after. My impressions are as follows: Very smooth trigger. Long (DAO) but smooth. Very accurate. Not as small as other subcompacts, but smaller than my CZ-75D (Compact). Feels a little top heavy when handling, but we both commented how it h...

I agree that it's good to be helpful, but I have struggled in similar situations in the past to immediately come up with appropriate wording that is "not rude" and that has great potential to generate more trouble than my butting in is worth. So, I generally just opt to follow that old Chi...

As a general rule, I try to not butt into the conversations of other people, so I wouldn't have said anything either. On the other hand, I've heard some interesting info of questionable reasonableness at gun counters before as well. Once I observed a family obviously new to handguns handling a Sig P...

I have a stock PCR (all black) on which I put the full checkered rosewood grips from the custom shop. You are welcomed to have a look if you'd like. I could try to post photos or we could do a meet somewhere (I live in Katy and work on the west side of Houston). I find these grips just a little thin...

I've never owned a KT but my older son had a P11 and I shot it some. I agree it's fit and finish were nothing to be overly proud of however I never heard of the thing failing to fire or feed. And both my son and I could shoot it with more than acceptable accuracy. The reason my son sold it was becau...

I went to Catholic schools just like one of the previous posters. Even in elementary grades the sisters knew how to twist an ear or apply a wooden ruler to the knuckles. They got and kept the attention of even the most unruly kids and nobody else wanted any of that. By the time I was in high school ...

First, congrats to OP for being able to get the women in his life to carry. I'm one for three in that department and that's probably more due to the fact that my older daughter is married to an Army Reserves officer who is an Iraq vet (they got their CHLs together) than my influence. My wife and you...

I’ve seen data (which I can’t search for or post right now) that suggest that the motorcycling demographic group that has the highest risk of accident is the mid-life crisis crowd (and I’m in that crowd by the way) who only rides occasionally. This data also suggests that those who ride all of the t...

I agree with Bronco78. When each of my sons started riding I had them take them MSF course and get their licenses, then I rode with them for weeks on uncrowded country roads. One of the things I emphasized every time we got on the bikes and again when we got off is this: "When riding a motorcyc...

The whole "get a Harley" issue is simply a new take on the "get a 1911" issue. Where I see an important similarity is how both preferences are tempered by a need for awareness and education on both. Once again I find myself agreeing with Purplehood. As I've said twice, there's a...

Like I said in my earlier post - it will boil down to preferences. I haven't ridden everything ever made, but have been riding for over thirty years and have ridden at least several of every style of motorcycle out there. I currently have only one and my bike is a Goldwing. It's been said that if yo...
