Must gun owners I know have either one or two.

I frequently skim the local gun trader website and won't consider responding to an ad which is full of obvious flaws and general non-caring. I feel that if the language is poorly attended to, then how well maintained is the item I want to purchase? Maybe my reasoning is flawed but it's based on...

I would absolutely be embarrassed to be associated with anyone who cares so little about the English language - no wonder only two showed up.

I just flew on USAir out of Phoenix. The gun checking procedure added 45 min for me due to an ill-trained ticket agent. I always get those it seems. She kept wanting to put the orange neon tag on the outside of the bag. I had to insist that she look up the procedure in her manual, etc. What a...

Five hugs yesterday. Normal hugs because they're better than low arm hugs. Everyone bumped my 1911 but no one said anything about it or seemed to care because the hug takes priority I guess. If someone did say something then I would take the opportunity to say that it's safer there in my...

Going to and from I carry because crazies and criminals share the streets with me. But when I get to my destination, I refuse to leave the gun in the car because it could easily be stolen. Therefore the safest, most secure place for it is in my holster on my belt. Plus if there happens to be a...

You can save a bunch of ammo by practicing shooting and moving with a empty gun. Get the mechanics down first then add ammo later. If you have a laser you can note where the dot is when the hammer falls to give you some idea of your accuracy.

I use the words "I need to fill out an unloaded firearms declaration form." It's much less scary for the ticket agent and it prompts them to get me exactly what I need. Most of the time they tell me that they haven't done one of these in a long time and they usually need guidance, especially at...

3-4 inch at 12 yards is pretty rough. Try it from a rest to know for sure.

That depends. How much slop did the old barrel have? If it's like most I've seen, then you'll probably have a tough time seeing any difference unless you're shooting from a rest. Do a blind test. Have a buddy install the Wilson or the original and then you shoot. See if you can see any...

I have a Kimber Ultra Carry stainless that I'm about to sell because I finally found my dream gun - a Kimber Compact CDP. 4 inch barrel with officer frame. Perfect carry gun for me.

I'm guessing that it's closer to 180 degrees off.

The local Florida trader site looks good on the surface, but many times I try to contact the listers and they either don't respond or they communicate so poorly that I just give up. It's really sad actually.

Heck, if I were the officer in question, I'd have a parade of my officer buddies there every morning. You know, all in the name of the safety of the kids.

You're absolutely correct. The laws of physics agree with you too. Thanks for continuing to fight this myth!
