I heard a lot of good things about the MTAC, and then I got one for Christmas last year for my XDsc. I like it a lot, but I've noticed lately that the bottom side of the back clip sticks out because of the height I have the holster at. With the curve of my pants at 3-4 o'clock where I wear it...

I am planning on carrying my GP 100 during firearms deer season this year and realized I've never really looked into hunting rounds for .357. Are there rounds that are specifically good for hunting, or is good defensive ammunition just as good for hunting?

I have been out of deer hunting for several years while I lived in IL and didn't have places to hunt. Now that I'm back in IN and have places to go I'm getting geared up to get back out into the woods. I have a Rem 870 Express with the rifled barrel. I never did any group testing, just picked...

I currently use PDX1 in my .40's, but have just switched to the TAC-XPD in .380. Today at Gander I saw TAC-XPD in .40 for the first time. How does it compare with the PDX1's?

With the cost of ammo and my moving away from a country home where I could shoot whenever I wanted, I've really been considering getting either a good airsoft or a good BB pistol to practice with in my garage. Does anybody do this, or is it even helpful? If so, what is a good pistol to get? I'd...

I'd like to get a relatively cheap ankle holster fire my TCP. I've never considered it before, but I was thinking the other day that I do a lot of driving and sitting at a desk so on days where I'll be sitting a lot, ankle carry might be the most comfortable/accessible. I'd like to get a...

Someone brought this up in another thread and it's been bugging me. They said a magnetic holster might mess with your handgun, magnetize parts of the gun and slow down the slide, etc. I keep my XDm attached to my nightstand with a small magnetic strip holster at night, then it goes in the safe...

I have some random casings that I'm saving for when I someday plan to get into reloading. I am hoping to keep it from degrading over time until I do start reloading. I don't have the right equipment to properly clean it, but I was hoping to clean it up some, hopefully by soaking it in some...

I was looking at one pf those suppressed airguns yesterday and had a thought. I mnow that the speec of sound changes depending on air density. Does it go up or down as density increases? I would think a suppressed airgun that shoots above the speed of sound would be about pointless, so if I get...

I am looking for a small snub nose, something J frame sized, probably just a .38, Special but I wouldn't be opposed to .357 Mag. I don't think I want a hammer since it will be a carry gun, and I hate how the concealed hammer guns look, so something along the lines of a 642. But I'm not sure...

I have been looking at getting a small machete for defensive/emergency purposes, kind of as a tool/weapon to keep in my emergency pack. I have been looking at the Gerber Parang and almost bought one last night, but saw a Camillus Carnivore there for a few dollars cheaper. They are very...

I made my own holster the other night. I've been wanting to get into making holsters for a while, just for myself, maybe for family as well, not to sell. I was just messing with designs, not really intending to make a full holster, but once I got started I couldn't put it down. I made it for...

I've been using PDX1 as my SD ammo for a few years, been very happy with its performance. I just bought a box of Hornady for $18.95. Figured I'd never see it that cheap again. How do these two compare?

Om wanting to get my dad a holster for Father's Day (I know I should have done it before now). He has a G 19 that he carries in a rentention OWB holster but has recently mentioned getting an IWB for it. I want to get him something fairly basic to start with, no Crossbreeds or MTACs for now. Just...

I've been checking my lgs fairly often ghe past few weeks hoping to find some Hornady Critical Defense .380. They haven't had any of that, but they have had Barnes Tac-XPD 80 gr .380 sitting on the shelf every time. I ended up buying a couple boxes tonight just to try it out. Does anybody have...

I'm finally to the point where I can start saving up for my first centerfire rifle. I have moved from out in the country in IL to in a town in IN, so my situation and use for a rifle is a little different now. I could get into varmint hunting someday, but for now I'll probably just be hunting...

I am wanting to get some new sights for my slug barrel. I have passed on several shots before because of low visibility and want to get something more visible. I have tossed around the idea of a red dot or reflex sight, but am also looking at fiber optic replacement sights. I was looking pretty...

I am looking pretty hard at getting either a Bersa Thunder or a Thunder CC. The one thing I'm not crazy about is the safety. None of my other guns have a manual safety and to me pushing the safety off in that direction is counter-intuitive (as opposed to a 1911). My dad has a PPK and I love...

I am moving from IL to IN for a new job. Finallly! My question is how long do I have to be a resident of IN before I can apply for a CCW permit there? My dad, who is an IN resident, seemed to think it was 1 year, but I'm not sure if that's the case or not. Also, if I do have to wait, can...

I have a Taurus TCP. I have 2 issues with it. 1) The sights are your typical nonexistent BUG sights. I saw a thread over at Taurus Armed where a guy Dremelled slots in the sights, mixed epoxy, white paint, and glow in the dark powder and filled the slots in. Ended up looking really sharp...
