    Kydex/leather holster vs wear on gun finish

    Carry guns, like race cars, aren't supposed to be "pretty". Safe queens, like show cars (trailer queens), ARE supposed to be pretty. Just decide which you want. Any holster will wear any finish. Any gun serving potential use in a defensive mode risks bumps & scratches. It also risks complete...

    NRA selling hoodies with concealed carry pockets

    If you're wearing a hoodie anyway, why not just wear a good belt & OWB holster?

    If you were limited to ONE handgun, what will you chose?

    Yep, IMHO, I consider your choice...completely flacked. But since you're a good enough shot to take pheasants with a handgun, I AM NOT gonna' to tell you that to your face. :D

    NRA selling hoodies with concealed carry pockets

    Wearing Wrangler jeans, Tony Lama boots & a nice Resistol disappears into the scenery of rural East Texas. Wear that in uptown Manhattan and you'll attract some attention. Y'all help me follow the conversation, are we discussing the "NRA" part, the "hoodie" part, or the "conceal pockets" part...

    Do you own any type of 10/22 rifle?

    I guess my Volquartsen Superlite qualifies as an "any type of 10/22", so YES I own one. (But it shoots much more like my Anschutz 54)

    LOL, All horses run fast. All rabbits run fast. Therefore, all horses are, uh...rabbits?

    Trying to find a used 870 for the cabin...

    Where ARE y'all? Old 870 Wingmaster & Express models are for sale at nearly every yard sale 'round here. Get out of suburbia & into the COUNTRY. Next rusty, old, beat-up pickup truck you see parked with a graybeard at the wheel...ask 'em where to find a good used 870. They're liable to sell you...

    Recommendation for novice woman's first gun

    A "novice" woman? LOL, every woman I've ever known was pretty-well experienced at being one. Okay seriously, be careful about going too "airweight" because she's petite. The lighter the gun the heavier the recoil. Start her with rimfires and let her grow at her OWN pace. Better yet, let...

    Which is better for conceal carry?

    If this poll was started yesterday and the first-mentioned "Slim Profile is an important criteria" then why wouldn't the OP include a single Kahr model or the newly introduced single-column XD or S&W M&P Shield? Seems those options would better match the quiz. In looking at our provided choices...

    Boyd's walking sticks.

    I look at this way, hijacker with a box cutter vs. a BACKWOODS REDNECK with a big oak stick. Who would YOU bet on?

    Boyd's walking sticks.

    Dyamondwood is relatively HEAVY. I've flown with a (well worn) oak cane on every flight I've taken (domestic & international) since 9/11. It's handy to lean against standing in line, some polite folks give you a tad more personal space, and no one has ever raised a questioning eyebrow. They...

    Glock 22 Grip Chop

    Girodin, did you just say "they're not beautiful" talking about a GLOCK? BaaaHaHaHaHaaaa! Yeah, uh,... you're right. Looks good! I agree the chop makes sense. It's easy to conceal barrel-length yet butts (don't tell Mrs. Ghost Tracker) are another matter entirely.

    NRA selling hoodies with concealed carry pockets

    Well, if I'm gonna' wearing a hoodie with my EDC somewhere under it, it's not gonna' have a big "NRA" across the front. In the spirit of concealed carry, it's more likely to read "Save the Whales" or "The Sierra Club" or maybe "I Love Tofu". When it comes to being armed, I prefer to stay as...

    Colt M1917 .45ACP revolver - cracked barrel

    I've seen barrels somewhere for that particular revolver in the last 18 months. Sorry but OGD ("Old Guy's Disease") is keeping me from pinpointing the source. Maybe "Sarco" or "Numrich"? That's a fun wheel gun, I hope you can get it rollin' again. Let us know how things work out. Good Luck!

    Which model Buckmark?

    You might check-out our friends over at rimfirecentral.com . They've got a sub-forum dedicated to Browning rimfires and there's a bunch of GREAT info over there. I shoot a Buckmark Match Target Extra & REALLY enjoy it. (*try the "Heggis Flip")
