I have a question for general (or even ongoing) discussion. I have my Texas CHL which I got not too long ago. I have carried as much as possible (can't carry in/around/at work)...as most of you know the class was designed to teach you correct doctrines of when/where you can use deadly force. Now let...

First, I am with the other guys. I maintain mine almost after every time I use it. Its not a hard thing to do (at least with my guns). I can clean mine up in hardly no time while sitting watching tv. Personally I think its a good habit to get into for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons is it...

Mailed my application in around April 15 and got it in hand May 28.

Now I just have to figure out if I need anything from Wal Mart tonight

Stupid wrote:I tried it today. Its trigger pull really put me off. Weird trigger.

I thought that too...at first. With time and practice...say 2 boxes of shells and the thing becomes pure butter.

I own a 24/7 pro DS .40. Great gun but the trigger has to take some getting used to. Now I actually like the trigger a lot. I have put probably 1000 rounds through mine and not a hitch. Taurus is just like any other gun (or any other thing period) that you plan to use for a long time. You have to do...

I bought my first hand gun not too long ago.

I have found its kind of like that old potato chip commercial... "I betcha can't have just one"

Lets just say I now have more than one handgun. I plan to buy others too.

Now you have stepped over the line mister.... Exactly what is wrong with 80's hair-doos? Business in the front, party in the back mullets will be back in style soon, and you will look pretty silly then! (just for the record, no mullet now but had one in the 80's AND drove a Camaro *hangs head in sh...

OK. I am new to carrying...in fact I am waiting now for my CHL :shock: The other day though I did get a letter and a fingerprint card back where I had missed a tiny little box marked "CIT".... I guess I had to write "US" in there...all I know it was so small they had a hard time ...

Hmm, I was under the impression (from others on this board) that only DPS officers could tell during a traffic stop if a driver had a CHL. I don't remember, now, if the officer could do this from the license plate number alone, or if he needed the driver's license. Especially since the driver may n...

I run background checks for a living. There are a few agencies that are authorized to run background checks. Some of these will be the police (obviously), prisons, CPS and a few others. CPS can go to your house and take your kids. That is quite a bit of legal authority there, and if I am not mistake...

If they don't use the PIN numbers any more then hopefully they will have my stuff done sooner than later. I mailed the thing back to them within an hour of it arriving at my mail box. I mailed it in at the post office on the way back to work.

I got an envelope from DPS today. It had my fingerprint card in it...one of them. I guess I forgot to indicate that I was a US citizen in a tiny little box somewhere. I fixed it and mailed it back already. At least I know now they are working on it. Still never got a pin. I guess they have to have a...

My packet was mailed off about 2 weeks ago. Someone else mailed it for me as I have to work until after the post office is closed. They did not send it certified. I called DPS today and they said it has not been input into the computer yet. The lady that answered the phone says all payments go to an...

alamo5000: If the selling prices of PT709 Slim's (7 + 1 in 9MM) and PT111's (12 + 1 in 9MM) were proportional, it would be easier to decide which to buy. But since they price them pretty close together, anyone considering those 2 models should go with the PT111. Getting 5 extra rounds w/o a reload ...

I was very intent on buying one of these pistols...and still might... I have talked to Taurus directly two times...once they said 'summer' and once they said 'the second half of the year'... That being said, I did a lot of research and went and handled and picked up the slim 9mm (same size as the .4...
