We've lost a good man and a class act. RIP, Byron. Monk

Hi all, and Mele Kalikimaka! We're headed over to Mecca, er, I mean Coal Creek Armory today to wring out a few pistols with my dad and my son (18) and daughter (20). Up 'till now, my daughter has shown very little interest in guns; however, she's got a new best friend who grew up in Montana...

Just a few things I don't see addressed so far: 1) Price of ammo: 9mm is the cheapest of all calibers you're considering. 2) Flexibility: Several Carbines come in 9mm. .357 too, some others. 3) IMO, Glock=Block. YMMV. 4) I've owned the Kahr (MK9) and it is well made, but for carry, see...

Awfully nice of you, HappyBob! This is still home, to a great degree. :) I've taken some kicks in the gut over the last couple of years, but family and career are still intact, and I'm exceedingly grateful for that! Monk

Yeah, we've had the caliber conversation; he's still pretty confident about the .38, (works out 4x/wk at CourtSouth) but gets real concerned if I even mention a 9 or a .45 (go figure) :uhoh: He never liked the snap of a .357, so that's out, ammo-wise. I'm figuring a good .38 loading of...

Ala Dan, Good to see ya buddy! PM me if you have any leads on another one like that for 2 bills or so!!! :D W.E.G. You're right! If I can find a way to swing it, it'll definitely be "my turn"! ;) He's been against any talk of guns for so long, I had all but given up. More than once he's told...

Thanks fellas! I'm definitely not so much the wheelgun guy, so your recommendations are VERY appreciated! FM

Thanks for the suggestion! Wish I could just buy it for him. He carried a sweet Colt for duty that he sold and doesn't want to spend that much at this point. 3-350's about his limit, I believe. Would sure be nice, though!

Hello all! Been a while. My dad the Anti has just called, and wanted to know where he could get a good price on a 38spl for home defense! :what: I maintained my composure, asked if anything had happened, and he said "No, I've just been reading all that $#!t you've been mailing me, and I...

I got a no-foolin' Daisy Red Rider BB gun when I was around 12. I got a Rossi snub-nose .38 as a gift from a friend who found out I was interested in becoming a shooter; And my first gun purchase was after I started looking for something that could do nightstand duty, carry duty, and not...

We have returned to Knoxville for a few days merriment with friends and family, and one of the things I would LOVE to do is take a couple of the fathers and teenage/pre-teen sons for their first range experience. We will, of course, cover safety issues and their importance, and I have brought...

I carry a P3AT, but my wife carries the P32. She is deadly with it, but the kick with the .380 is just a little too uncomfortable for her to feel confident about. Since she feels confident with the P32, and since I KNOW she's a deadeye with it, I'm happy with her choice. Please-- let her...

Disclaimer: I have drunk no one's KoolAid. :rolleyes: After narrowing down my first ever handgun about 6 years ago to a Taurus PT-111 or a Glock, I spoke with a gun shop owner about what he carried. He and 3 others in the store at the time pulled as either a primary or backup weapon, a P-32...

I've decided that a pair of these for the kids would be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I know nothing about them, since right now all we've got in .22 is a semi-auto pistol and a Rossi single-shot with interchangeable barrells in .22 and .20 gauge. Any suggestions? Personal...

I carry a P3AT daily in an Uncle Mike's #1 sized pocket holster. I've modified it slightly by ripping the seams out of the little bottom piece that protrudes backwards when in place, and have re-sewn it to accommodate an extra magazine. Totally disappears in the pocket of khakis or jeans...
