Smart carry has worked for me for years when my dress style didn't allow for any other type of holster. I even use the smart carry when I go to the gym. For the gym I stick with the very thin LC9 and sometimes the LCR in .357. Outside the gym I can carry everything up to a full sized 1911...

I own several .45's, several 9mm's, and a few .40's just because I like to collect guns. I have carry guns in each of these calibers, and carry which ever depending on how I'm dressed. No matter what I'm carrying I don't leave the house feeling under gunned. With enough practice I'm proficient...

I bought a police trade in H&K USP compact .45 for only $450. The finish was a little worn, but other than that is was great. I paid $85 to have it refinished and for a total of $535 it's like a new gun. Not bad for a gun that retails for about a grand. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another police...

I have a Don Hume IWB model H715 and a Don Hume OWB model H721 for my PX4 sub-compact and they work out great for a couple of mode of dress for me. Both are in the $30-$35 range.

I work with a state rep here in NH. He says the republicans have so much control over both houses the governor is not an issue. His veto will be overridden.

I think Taurus has had some issues in the past and still put out a lemon from time to time. So there are still bitter people out there that feel all Taurus guns are trash. As you can see here there are plenty of happy Taurus owners. Pick a firearm and you’ll find someone complaining about it.

Own a stainless PT1911 and a PT945. No problems with either one of them at the range. The only issue I've had with the PT945 was the mag release. The spring was a little light and while carrying IWB the mag would often disengage. I have several carry guns and this is the only gun this has...

My Ruger MK III has been a flawless shooter. Stainless with fluted barrel and CT grip. Awesome.

As a lefty the coin pocket is on my weak side. So it works out pretty well as a spare mag holster. I do have a holster for my Kahr mags, but I find it prints less in the coin pocket. I will order a Wolf spring and see if that solves the problem. I carry the K9 in a Dom Hume IWB. The only gun I...

When I carry a spare Kahr K9 mag in a Smartcarry holster or in the small coin pocket in jeans, after a couple of hours the top round almost always pops out. This doesn't happen with any of my other mags, only Kahr. Anyone else with this problem?

I've only put a box of 50 through my LCP, but I didn't find it a chore to shoot. My hands are average sized. At 10 yards there was no problem putting all rounds onto a paper plate. I have no experience with any other .380 except my brother's P232, which is rather large for a .380. The LCP is...

I just picked up a Ruger LCP $309 NIB. I'm more accurate with it than with my S&W model 36. It's lighter than my snubby so I can slip it into a pocket of my cargo shorts and it's not pulling my shorts down. In jeans it's almost always my Kahr K9 IWB.

My brother is going through a divorce and his wife filed for a retraining order. I know my brother is not a wife beater, but a restraining order just seems to be part of the divorce procedure these days. He doesn’t own any firearms, but I do. He’s going to be residing with us for a while until...

Growing up in and around Boston I’ve found through experience that many of the cops in that area don’t trust us common folks to own firearms. I find it amusing that they’re getting the same treatment from the Mayor. They can’t be trusted with scary black rifles.:D

I’ve been in and out of the military for a long time with 7 years regular Army and the rest National Guard. I’m currently in the NH National Guard. Back in the 80’s during a period that I was actually out of the military, I was approached by a co-worker in Massachusetts to join the state guard...
