    S & w 3913

    It's the only handgun I own that I will NEVER sell. Easily one of the 3 best pistols ever made if you ask me.

    H&R Ultra Slug vs. Ultra slug deluxe

    I bought the base model 2 yrs ago. When I was debating between the 2, I couldn't find anything different, other than the aesthetics that is. Definately worth the $250, though. I skipped the scope and bought a simple red dot with 2x magnification and I shoot 3 inch Hornady SST's out of it...

    What is your local law enforcement standard issue sidearm?

    PD gets Glock 22 or 23 depending on fit, SO gets a certain amount of money from the county to buy a weapon that meets certain criteria. If a deputy wants a nice, expensive, decked out weapon he/she has to cover the difference in the purchase price, pay for practice ammo if the weapon is not a...

    New Backpacking Rig

    I definately would shy away from a drop leg rig for backpacking. Besides being really uncomfortable for long periods of wear, I guarantee it will snag or catch on everything. I carried my Taser X26 in a drop leg for a while at work and it was a huge PITA. I carry my Glock 23 in a similar...

    pick 2 new handguns to be made

    I'm definately on board with the single stack baby Glock idea only in .40 cal. Other than that just ressurect the Colt Mustang and I'll be pretty happy.

    Strangest or most out of place gun seen at a CCW class?

    Bushmaster AR pistol with 3 20 round mags and an EO Tech holosight. The guy had a custom shoulder rig made for it. The gun rode under his firing hand on a retractable leash with the spare mags under his weak arm riding just above waist height. According to him that was his intended primary...

    fox labs vs vexor oc

    I've seen the Foxlabs drop a violent 6'6" 350 pound guy who used Aerko's Freeze +P for toothpaste. Well, he didn't really use it for toothpaste but he'd been sprayed with Freeze so many times he was used to it. The Freeze had little effect and he was easily able to fight through it. But when...

    GEN 4 Glock pic.

    I don't think M&P's are "plowing through the LE market". Landing contracts with couple of larger metropolitan agencies and a handful of smaller ones does not exactly equal "plowing through". I know of more agencies still carrying S&W's 3rd gen line than I do agencies carrying M&P's. Not to...

    Which semi-auto pistol would you bet your life on out the box?

    My Glock 23 or my S&W 3913. Both have been flawlessly reliable since the day I got them NIB.

    9mm for carry

    S&W 3913 is the only 9mm I carry regularly. It's slim, comfortable, accurate and damn reliable. What more could you want?

    I have sequentially numbered twins that look just like the picture in the previous post only they wear redwood grips with a celtic cross on them.

    Anyone have a Rock Island Armory 1911?

    I just bought twin sequentially numbered RIA's for the wife and I for Xmas. I got them used from a guy locally. They have stainless frames instead of blued and have had some work done to improve performance but nothing major. They came with matching redwood Esmerelda grips in a velvet lined...

    There's a website that specializes in police trade ins. I think it's interstatearms.com.

    Accurate American designed handgun

    I'm wondering how the OP can say that there are very few accurate American designed handguns. Have you never heard of Smith and Wesson, Colt, Ruger, Kimber, Kahr, Rock Island Armory, Springfield, Dan Wesson, etc, etc? Any one of these companies makes several different models that will meet...
