Re: Any pilots in here?
Your main question being essentially, "how do I get started", the short answer is, "Just do it." In any new endeavor, the 1st step is generally the most difficult. However, once you put yourself into that endeavor, you will be pulled into the process. Pick any airport in the Hous...

Re: Houston ... We have a traffic question
You NEVER want to be in Houston traffic at 8-10. 290 inbound can be brutal with unexplained miles-long 0 mph tie-ups. Then you have I-10 East inbound to downtown to fight with. There is a lot of construction on 290, especially at the various interchanges. There is not a lot of signage to alert you. ...

Re: Full size 9mm pistol for small hands
I'm still a fan of the Bersa Thunder UC in 9mm. I do not have overly large hands, but it fits me well. Also, it is capable of an accuracy greater than my typical capabilities. With many 100's of rounds through it (including a 600-round, 2-day session), I have had no FTF's or FTE's with either range ...

Re: SS Gabrielle Giffords Christened As Navy’s First Gun-Free Warship
Weren't the P-3 squadrons pretty good at finding Soviet subs? And the Helos with the dipping sonar? When I was in the Navy the sub guys told us the only ones that ever had a chance of finding our SSBN's were our own attack boats and even that was rare. My first ship was a guided missile destroyer. ...

Re: Is The CHL Proficiency Test Sufficient?
Personally, I would like to see on-going proficiency training highly encouraged. . At my original CHL range test, there was one more bullet hole in my target than the number of shots I had fired. Some people do go on to be students of the [process]; others have to be externally motivated to do the m...

Re: Chamber or No Chamber
Probably everyone on this forum has gone through a similar progression in deciding on what to carry and how to carry. My several-year progression was military - 1911 (the model, not the year), occasional firing range practice with S&W .357 revolver, CHL, re-introduction to semi-automatics, carry...
