My NAA Guardian in 32 ACP has been perfect and 100% reliable. I purchased it because the Seecamp was a 2+ year wait. It is for all practical purposes the same size as the Seecamp The NAA 380 is a much larger pistol. While all the Seecamps are the same size the NAA pistols come in two sizes...

Defensive shooting: Both eyes open is best if you can do it... Give depth perception but more importantly it gives you periphery vision. Many cannot keep the target or the sights from "jumping" and many don't even know if they close an eye or not. Some that are cross-dominant eyed have...

10-ring, I think you just put it right in the center of the 10-ring... :D

"If it isn't a SA gun, then a safety should not be engaged on a self defense weapon...." Well, it could be a DA with a decocker... and that would be even better. I agree though... and for that reason I am fond of pistols like the Sig P229 a DA that has no safety, but a decocker instead to...

Mad Magyar, I re-read your post and see that you also mention civilian stats... Sorry for that omittion in my previous post... Still, my training say there are many scenarios where you will not have the time or the free hand...

Mad Magyar, I think your post and the issue are germain to the thread, it is the original poster's concern... I'm thinking of the knife weilding feind standing about 20' away, you may not even know he has a knife until he gets closer... The statistics for that scenario indicates that we...

Agreed that the stronger first DA pull of a DA pistol, followed by the light SA pull of the same pistol, can be a problem for some. It takes some training and range time to get the muscle memory set. As a civilian CCW permit holder, what we don't want to get into is a situation where we have...

Please don't carry a semi-auto for self defense without a chambered round. You will probably never have the chance to chamber that round. You will need two hands and precious time. Most modern auto-loaders have a firing pin safety to make the pistol safe if it is dropped. Single action...

My MK9 Elite 98 is my favorite carry (and I'm really a 1911 guy!...). The PMs all reportedly have the "Elite" trigger and I'm not sure about the all stainless pistols... But you might want to research it. The Elite trigger is shorter, smoother and lighter. I know on the PMs the barrels are...

pretty much what critter said... I've had my MK9 Elite 98 (better trigger) since 1998 and it has been flawless, no breakin, not a single malf in 3,000+ rounds. It is a bit heavy for pocket carry, but it can be done. I did it for years and found that it required a gun belt to support the...

My smith told me that the red tend to "wash out" in bright daylight... I 'm using green. They approximate the color of my night sights so I am used to seeing green...

What c_yeager said! This is the first Bond movie I will not see... Craig is a wuss...! Worse, a bigotted wuss...!

I really think it comes down to carry or range/training/comp. If the primary purpose is carry then I'd consider an alloy frame. Otherwise I prefer steel. I've got two Kimber 3" Ultras. One in alloy for a carry and the other in stainless for training and range use. I have cracked an alloy frame...

By far it has been the Kahr MK9 Elite 98. I could have voted for a 1911, but I prefer the Officers size which is not in the last. The Sig 229/239 are also on the favorite list.

Guys... bears and not bears. Yes, some bears will be pissed off from 5 or 6 head shots with a .44 mag. Others will run at the sound of the first bang... So Alaska... Expect big mean bears and nothing on your hip should be smaller than a .44 mag. though I would rather have a 12 ga. and slugs...

Both good for different reasons. I choose the pistol for firepower (number fo rounds) and reloading speed. My wife prefers a revolver for simple operation and reliability. We each carry our "non-preference" occ. when dictated my clothing or...

All three are good choices as is the Kahr PM9 (if you can get a reliable one). It was a difficult pick and I've carried them all... The 342PD is a favorite though.

jih26oo, I've heard the same thing about the slide stop - slide wear issue. The only pistol I know where it is a real problem is the Colt Pony and Mustang. These particular pistols are known for wearing the slide stop and slide. The slide is eventually worn to the point where reliable lock on...

Thanks for the kind reply orionengnr, Nope, I can't do it whatever way I like because the way I would like would be to reach around with my strong (right) hand thumb and drop the slide just after my weak hand has slammed the magazine home. I just cannot reach the slide stop. Make fun of...

Hmmm... You can do that, drop the slide, with your strong hand? :confused: My hands are neither large nor small, I can wear some medium gloves, but generally am more comfortable in large gloves. Yet I cannot reach the slide release on a 1911 or a M9 without shifting my grip enough to make...
