    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    We've got black bears around here, and wild pigs, so out in the woods I carry a gun bigger than my usual 9MM +P carry guns. That said, the biggest threat will ALWAYS be other people, and I'm not comfortable encountering a group cooking meth in the backwoods with a 6 shot revolver, so it's a...

    Kinda set on getting a 9mm comped and optic pistol

    I've got several Glocks, almost all with aftermarket trigger upgrades (grew up on 1911's....sigh.) I also have a Canik Mete SFX...if I had bought a Canik before I had shot a Glock (obviously not possible, since Canik wasn't around 30 years ago, but you get the expression) I wouldn't own a single...

    Seems logical, maybe?

    I'm not Jerry-not even close-but when I was shooting revolvers in IDPA I found that switching to RN reloads from my usual SWC's was a big help with the Safariland Comp III's I was using. I suspect Jerry might not be slowed down, but for mere mortals I think a RN helps reloading in an objective...

    Palmetto State Armory Model 570 Shotgun

    Like with the Dagger pistols, PSA does a great job of making a million variations of their guns, offering tons of choices and generally allowing a degree of customization other makers just don't. I think it's because they started with AR kits, and saw the demand for individual configurations...

    I bought a Pinto that doesn’t run…

    I'll admit, if you'd described that to me I wouldn't have thought I'd like it; but in photos it's really attractive. Larry

    Rost Martin RM 1 C

    I just can't get excited about a new, untried pistol with no more capacity (or capacity for its size) than other choices, a 6# trigger, a plate system (rather than direct mounting of RDS) and essentially a 'standard' set of features compared to 20 other guns. MIA is nice, and choices are nice...

    IWB Holster Design

    As a person who makes holsters as a hobby, I'll just add that it can be very daunting to try and design a holster that will be comfortable for someone else; I make holsters for myself that I'm certain nobody else would like, and see many patterns others love that I could never wear. More than...

    Gun-toting lawyers in Arkansas

    So the concern is that professionals, with extensive education and training in the law, are incapable of safely and appropriately using firearms? What does that say about our beliefs in CCW in general? Larry

    Tell me why I shouldn’t get a Browning BLR in .308.

    They're too....um, elegant? They'll make your other rifles look bad? Too graceful? Too handy and easy to carry? Hope that helped; I'm always here for you. :) Larry

    Is everyone still loving their Ruger Wranglers?

    I got one a year or so ago, in black. It keyholes with most ammo. It doesn't shoot point of aim, or anywhere NEAR point of aim. It shoots 2 1/2"-3" groups at 21' (my Ruger MKIV, Buckmark are under 1" at that range) It's got a couple 'sticky' chambers, that are difficult to load and take lots of...

    "Oh my Gawd....do you have a gun in every room?"

    The appropriate response to a question like that (or, as a neighbor once asked me, 'So you have a gun on you RIGHT NOW?!?!'), is to look just as shocked and distraught and ask, "You mean you DON'T?!?!" Larry

    Altor ! Cheapest 9mm Productions gun

    I look at those and see the WWII 'Liberator', made with modern manufacturing techniques. Larry

    New conundrum- to fix or not to fix...

    The 'hundreds of dry-fire' advice is a good place to start. Not only will it help mate the internals, it'll work out your trigger finger; sometimes I think that's where most of the 'my trigger got better!' results come from. :) Larry

    Burro Defense Gun

    Just about every cattle or sheep herd around here (rural TN) has at least one donkey; they're the guard dogs against predators. From what I've heard, they'll grab a coyote's ears with their teeth, lift it up and kick it to death with their front legs-not something I'd have imagined until I heard...

    A note about Chinese "clones"

    When a company STARTS by stealing a company's IP, why on Earth would you expect them to be honest about materials, heat-treat or anything else? In the guitar industry, dissection of counterfeit guitars shows particleboard interiors, fatally flawed construction (misplaced bridges and frets) and...
