I will always buy a stainless steel handguns over any other finish. Melonite / Nitride type finishes are very rust resistant but they do eventually wear if you carry them everyday. Stainless steal will show wear too but it can be refreshed quite easily with a scotch-bright pad which is why it...

.45acp Night stand configuration: It is still small enough to slip into a robe pocket to take the garbage out. Carry configuration:

What about a Grizzly with a meth habit in need of a fix? 😜

44 magnum revolvers are either big and heavy or incredibly punishing to shoot. I love my 44 mag but damned if I want to lug i around all day. I have been trying to talk myself into buying a Springfield XDm 10mm compact for years... I just can't justify the need or the hassle of yet another...

Very true. When the Creedmore came out .243 bullets started just bouncing off deer, they are no longer lethal anymore.

They are your guns and it is your oil, you can do anything you want. Motor oil has detergents in it and ATF has a LOT of detergents in it. Not something I would want to put on my guns. Chain and bar oil has tackifiers in it to make is stick, watering it down with motor oil or ATF isn't going...

My girlfriend of 12 years and my 19 yo daughter know I carry. That is it. There is no reason for it to ever come up in casual conversation.

30-06. If a 30-06 won't kill it I probably shouldn't have been shooting at it in the first place!

35 years ago I loaded up my first batch of 9mm. 115gr Winchester FMJ at the starting book load. I was having so much fun I loaded ~600-700 rounds. NOTHING would cycle them... NOTHING! Until I bought My Ruger PC carbine about 5 years ago. It finally unloaded all those anemic rounds with only...

35 years ago when I bought my first handgun I had a choice between a new Bersa 380 and a used Government 380. I LOVED the feel of the Government 380 but couldn't talk myself into carrying cocked and locked so I bought the Bersa. About 10 years ago I bought a Browning 1911-380 and finally...

35 years ago I bought my Berretta 92 INOX. A week later a buddy (in an attempt to out do me) bought a S&W 1006. 35 years later I still have my Beretta 92 INOX... and I am still jealous of his S&W 1006! I really loved shooting his 1006! I assume the 4506 is very similar to the 1006, just in...

If it works for you its not my place to tell you not to! For me, not a chance! I carried my Beretta 92 INOX camping in a Safari (cop) retention holster once. I quickly came to the conclusion that the donut shop cops must be in much better shape than I am. All that weight was just clumsy...

Back in the good old days photographers had big heavy cameras that needed big heavy tripods to keep them steady. Now days everyone uses light little digital cameras and pay a fortune for the lightest weight sturdy carbon fiber tripods they can find leaving a glut of heavier professional tripods...

I also have the XDs (mod 1) and the Kahr CM45. The grip texture on the XDs mod 1 is very harsh. I think this was the big fix for the XDs mod 2. A grip sleeve helps some. I prefer the CM45 but I am a fan of the grip safety on the XDs. I have never held or shot the S&W Shield in 45. The XD...

I like my Ruger PC carbine but it is kind of big and clunky for what it does. I haven't shot mine since I got a Ruger PC Charger with a binary trigger and a tax stamp.

This is exactly what came to mind when reading the original post. I wonder if a fanny pack could be attached to the belt on the back pack? For those that aren't familiar back in the 80's they made concealed carry fanny packs that had a special concealed compartment which could be opened VERY...

Great tip! I am going to start hoarding Happy Meals!

I live in a rural area and am quite comfortable with a pocket 9mm. When I go to the big city I usually up-gun to a small .45 acp. (XDS or Kahr CM45.) If there is no way to get out of going to a questionable area I will usually pack my XD mod 2 3.3" in 45 acp with its 13 round magazine...

"Along with neighboring Sweden, Finland applied to join NATO on 18 May 2022. Following ratification, Finland became a member of NATO on 4 April 2023. Finland has a 1,340-kilometre (830 mi) border with Russia, which upon accession more than doubled NATO's pre-existing border with Russia." I...

I can shoot just about any trigger well but the R51 has a really bad plastic trigger. I really like grip safety's but the R51 grip safety is really loose and pinches the web of my hand between my thumb and for finger. Mine is also not 100% reliable. I would equate the R51 to an FP-45...
