    Thanks Mike for the update. Both books are in public domain, so I guess it makes sense that someone reprint them. I hadn't checked in a while. The hardcover early edition printing of Kill or Get Killed in new condition was listed at $75 when I just checked...but it's good to see that the...

    If you ever think you may want to carry a gun for self defense, these are two of the best books ever written. They are out of print and original versions are both hard to find and expensive. Good thing they also happen to be in public domain so they are free to read. I've supplied links to...

    Nickel Boron Coating?

    Anyone know if this stuff is worth getting? I heard it takes your gun to the next level, that you never need to lube it again, that the thing can be tossed into salt water without worries. What's the real deal on this stuff?

    Ever Find Yourself in Posession of a "Bucket Gun"?

    ...you know, the kind of gun where you decided to upgrade the trigger yourself or something and then the whole thing explodes into a pile of parts which you have no idea what to do with and are required to take said parts to a gunsmith in a bucket?

    University of Texas suicide - Really an AK-47?

    Any Kalashnikov style gun is now an AK-47. The term has transcended it's application to the original configuration. Griping over it is a lot like nitpicking people who hand you a sheet of paper and say, "Please get me a Xerox of this." and point you to the Cannon photocopier. Another...

    Point Shooting: Under-appreciated & practiced!

    Isn't why they developed the IDPA? So that your muscle-memory is trained to shoot in a certain way in a combat situation instead of just pointing and pulling?

    Will an Air Pistol Kill Skunks?

    There is a hive of skunks living down the road from me. They come out at night. I'd like to take a stroll over there and shoot them, but there is a house close by and I don't want to discharge a round but would like to take them out with an air pistol. Only question is.... will it be...

    Holesters without the wear

    What do you plan to do with the one your received from YOUR grandfather? Does it go to your son (or daughter)?

    Gun Belt review

    I have an Alessi gun belt...and it is becoming quickly clear that I'm going to "outgrow" it before it comes near to needing to be replaced.

    who here open carries?

    I open carry whenever I feel it best suits me. I carry concealed whenever it suits me. Usually, I'll OC my 1911 in an Alessi Bodyguard shoulder holster when I'm wearing shorts (as I don't like to wear a belt with shorts) or whenever I'm hanging out at home. If I'm wearing trousers along with...

    Why do people have to destroy history

    You can make good money peddeling anything. Take DHGate.com for instance. My father-in-law is a golf junkie. He bought a "fake" golf club off of there. Some super-driver that's the best in the US right now. Runs $600+ just for the head. He got the whole thing for $125 w/ free shipping...

    How do you carry your magazine?

    Whether I open carry or carry concealed I tend to go with my Bodyguard shoulder holster. I just keep the magazines in the integrated mag pouches.

    I did something horrible

    My Springfield Armory XD-9 was bought for my wife to learn the fundamentals of marksmanship with...but she never seems to shoot it as much as I do and is always looking at pocket pistols whenever we pass by the gun counter at Cabella's.

    Military Officers and CCW

    I stood post in the Marine Corps at Marine Barracks 8th & I and I can tell you that a lot of the officers coming out of Center House on a parade night were anything but responsible. In fact, the only officer I ever saw wear a side arm was the Captain of the Guard (our boss) and even then, it...

    What handguns do you see most commonly at pistol courses?

    Glocks, SIGs, and 1911s seem to make up the majority of what I see people bringing. Lately, however, there have been a lot more people toting Springfield Armory XD and XDm pistols. I think the heavy marketing of these guns is paying off for that company.

    Just can't replace my J-frame .38

    Maybe you should give that Ruger LCP a try. I heard that it's the cat's meow where where pocket pistols are concerned.

    gun friendly colleges?

    You need to look closely at the gun laws for the state that your college is in. Here in Michigan we are specifically not allowed to carry concealed in any school. However, an older law stated that only those with a concealed carry permit could carry on school grounds. The end result of these...

    What's your Holy Grail gun(s)?

    Without any doubt I'd say a XDm in 10mm. I might have to buy out 50% of the stock in Springfield Armory and open a new plant to justify the additional machining setup...but you did say I won the lottery.

    Full-Auto Suppressed Glock 19

    Where do you get a full-auto Glock? I can't imagine it's pre-ban.
