No auto brightness. The feature was cancelled "due to feedback from the military". Unfortunately many vendors failed to remove that feature from their descriptions. Mine shows a similar effect around the lens but I'll have to double-check to see if mine is about the same, different, or...

IMO the two coolest props ever created from gun parts were: The original SW movie Obi-Wan lightsaber, which is ugly and gothic and built up from the weirdest list of parts you could think of. But there's just one gun part on it so it doesn't shoot anything. :) The other is the...

One month turnaround at Christmas, can't complain about that I guess. I've returned two Deltapoint Pros to them over the last few months. They got new ones out to me each time within a few weeks.

Tarosean--did you have to mod your MOS to get the DP on? There's a guy at G-talk trying to figure out how to proceed. OP--I like mine, but I heard some wisdom recently: the only way to really know which gun is right for you is to see how you shoot using the different candidates.

AIWB is famously very dependent on your body shape and clothing style. For instance some people have no problem carrying a gun with a 5" barrel this way. Especially for compact and larger guns it becomes likely you will need a feature that tucks the grip in. Many of the specialized AIWB...

RCM and DFaris thank you for the ideas. I'll try those out along with the rubberized superglue I've heard of and maybe some E6000. M-C--I guess if I give up on glue I'll have it stitched on.

Has anyone discovered a glue that will reliably adhere velcro to a Biothane belt (such as the Superbio or Liger)? I've seen mention of a Locktite product but it sounds like it's just a high-end superglue and I don't expect that would hold up well with flexing.

I had something similar happen a few years ago with a Colt Officer's model. I won the bid and then they said they'd sold the gun.

I've seen two. One a reload in a friend's gun. Another was someone at a CCW re-qualification and I don't recall what the ammo was.

I had wanted a G34 for years. When it recently came time to renew my CCW the fever returned and I picked this up. With the chopped grip it conceals effortlessly. Am I experiencing the upgraded shooting performance I bought it for? Ask me in a year.

The answer partly depends on whether you already have a "." ('Dot') connector. As I understand it Glock produced this connector as the solution to the initial trigger-pull problems of the new geometry in the Gen 4. If your gun is older and you don't have the Dot connector it may make enough of...

Find your hollow spots. Check things out in a mirror from not too close--as close as we are to our reflection most of the time, people aren't going to be looking at your belt. From farther away the bulge isn't so noticeable since one is not looking at it from above so much. Look at how your...

I fenced for many years when I was younger. As many have said, the more abstract aspects of fencing are well worth learning from a practical standpoint. Even Bruce Lee, who was a more serious thinker about martial arts than some may realize, looked into fencing for the things he could take...

I think Colt's New Agent is very cool looking, and I shoot it well too, but I have gone over to tupperware. As to reliability, Rob Pincus put out a pretty dim view of the subcompact 1911s based on watching them not work in training sessions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P0edDYdqXU

The only reason I went to a double stack was the convincing case made for it by my CCW instructor. So have a think about what sort of situations you are preparing yourself for. One thing worth noting is that people often remark that Glock grips, particularly the G26, work better in shooting...
