My wife and I are going to be traveling to Gatlinburg, TN in April of this year, and want to be sure of carry laws before we go. I have read over the Tennessee section of www.handgunlaws.us and need just a bit more clarification. I also spoke to someone at the TN State Police, and they advised...

re:Taurus model 85 In addition, I would prefer something in formed nylon or kydex, rather than a leather holster. With the gun being white in color, I am afraid that the inside of the leather holster would stain the gun.

I have a Taurus Model 85 Protector Poly, and am looking for others who may have this revolver as well. I like to carry this as my cc when I don't wear a coat or jacket to help cover my full size Smith and Wesson M&P .40 pistol. As of right now, I have a universal nylon holster that has a...

Finished Product!

I ended up going with the 9" UTG PRO Quad Rail. Came with all the covers, fits well over the gas block and hides it well. Put my holographic optics on, as well as Magpul popup front and rear sights. Looks and works great!

I was thinking of going with the low profile gas block, with the free float quad rail. I have found a 45 degree sight pair that fits on the rail system. So if I do want to use the sights, I can slightly turn the gun sideways, using that. I have also found a few holographic sights that are pretty...

I am beginning to purchase parts for my first AR build. I am wanting to build it capable of firing 5.56 or .223 rounds. I am going to install a quad rail with 16" chrome lined barrel, adjustable stock. Awaiting on my Spikes Tactical Lower, and Palmetto State Armory upper. Would a fixed front...

I recently purchased a White Taurus 85 Protector Poly in .38 spl +p. I have a universal Uncle Mikes Holster that I just use to slip the revolver into my inside jacket pocket, but am looking for something a little more form fitting, that I can attach to my belt. I purchased a Fobus paddle holster...

I am not sure if the magazines would be compatible between the compact and the full size, but the prices are about the same. The department requires level II or higher retention holsters for the duty weapon, but have not spoken to anyone specifically about the requirements of the backup weapon...

Where do you carry the bersa? I looked at one of those, but wasn't sure if ankle or SOB (small of back) would be better with the duty belt and for comfort.

I am actively seeking a career in Law Enforcement, just interviewed for Reserve Sheriff Deputy in my county, and am looking for a backup weapon to carry while on duty, or possibly off duty. I will be carrying a Smith & Wesson M&P .40, strong side, looking for something for either small of back...

Again, I will say that I am not uncomfortable with carrying a round in the chamber. I do on occasion. I will be from this point on. It will give me the the extra couple seconds in the event that I have to use it. It will also give me the advantage of another round.

Partially Hearsay and emotion, but mostly she sees it as a safety measure. Since there is no external safety on the gun. By the way, I carry a Kahr p40. Has a 6+1 capacity. I also carry an extra mag on my left side. I carry a combination of JHP's (in the gun) and FMJ's (left side pouch) at...

I am not uncomfortable with carrying a round in the chamber. I do every now and then. I live right behind a small hunting shop that sells handguns. I have a 3 year old daughter, and every now and then the 2 of us go for a walk to that store. when I do that, I usually load one into the...

I am an Indiana resident who posesses a license to carry a handgun. A friend of mine and I were talking about the permit, and they stated that I had to carry concealed at all times, that the permit did not allow for open carry. I did some searching on the internet, and was able to find very...
