    Attributes of a home defense handgun?

    I'm totally into the small Glocks, 26, 27, and 36. They hide extremely well for CCW purposes, and they have never been a problem based on experience and general opinion. Good enough for the street, good enough for the house.

    Apt defense / I think I want a 9 Ruger

    Trebor is awesome. I took my CCW classes from him. But I still use a Glock handgun as home protection, although when I can find a reasonable deal on a shotgun, I'll get one. Its always JHP in all mags, although I remove them when I go target shooting at paper targets. I have done enough...

    LEO handguns

    Darn, a cheap Beretta 92 would be really nice. Its currently #4 on my list.

    i purchased a s&w 9mm sigma any thoughts? It is my first gun purchase

    For the money, it is a good quality firearm. Do not regret it. I would buy one if I wanted another handgun and was looking to keep my investment low. It is probably #12 on my list, but if the price and rebates were right it would quickly jump to near the top.

    Training Guns: Why So Expensive?

    I'm fairly sure they might only make them 1000 or so at a time, then switch to a different model. When they only make small batches, expenses are spread out less in the short run. Realistically, I do not forsee any single customer buying more than 100 of any specific model at a time, and once...

    S&W 410S cal. .40

    It meets my needs. I have the regular 410, and its actually sitting about a foot away at the moment. I never have had issues with it. However, I keep my two glocks bedside, but that more of a personal preference since my recent move. Those were the only two guns that I was able to not only...

    S&W third gen pics

    The third Gen S&W guns are really nice, too bad they are so hard to find now. I love my glocks, but I'm more accurate with the heavier guns. If I can't find a 3rd gen S&W when its time to buy my next one, I think I'll get a Beretta model 92. The heavier guns seem to work better for me.

    On the ammo part, if you reload, don't you avoid paying the taxes?

    S&W Most Reliable .45 ACP, Which One

    The 4500 and 457 both tend to be good guns, allow frames on them. I own two model 457's, one all black, the other with the silver alloy slide, but black frame. I find them to be solid guns, and my good friend shot both of them at the range and loved them. She was totally jealous. I might...

    Aluminum and Steel vs. Brass Cartridge Cases

    Even so, if you have room to store the used brass, it will save you money in the long run. I have 5000+ once fired brass in boxes, some sorted, others not, but it will be there in case I need it. I never have left brass behind, not even .22 brass. I even pickup the aluminum and steel cases...

    Brass on the ground

    Even the steel and alum goes home with me, no reason to trash it. I can take it to the scrap dealer down the street from my house and get something for it. No need to sort it at all, its just scrap steel or alum to him. Might as well recycle it somehow. In states without bottle deposits...

    New retail store. what to stock?

    Quoheleth, Oddly enough, not being LEO myself, I still like the first store much better. While they might not have the hunting items I might need, they have a good selection of quality product and the accessories for them. Police supply houses tend to do well because there is normally only...

    Is the S&W 410S a good gun?

    That seems a bit over priced. The gun itself can be had for about $400 most places and I don't think the laser grips are worth $369. But its really up to you.

    Back up carry

    Nice call, I have many holsters and many of them seem to not work for the situation. But given the right clothing/situation, they would work and are not completely useless.
