I just leave mine in my Thumbler with the lid off. It might take a couple weeks to completely dry, but that's fine. They are right where I need them next time.

I have one I bought at an auction years ago. Mine is .32 ACP, and is a real joy to shoot. Very accurate, minimal recoil, easy to handle, and did I mention that it is fun. :D There was no history associated with mine that came with the gun.

Midway made a big change to their shipping rates recently. Check them out again. :)

I used to carry the PF9 and it is very east to conceal and you can actually forget you are carrying it. However, I would not recommend it for a woman, especially a small woman. It has a lot of recoil and is painful to shoot more than a magazine full.

I shot 100 rounds out of my XDs today. They were 200 gr FMJ reloads that I loaded for practice. I've shot full power 230, 200, & 185 gr reloads out of mine and I've never thought it had a lot of recoil. Some people complain about the grip surface chewing up their hands, but I've never...

In Ohio, they only have reciprocity with states that meet or exceed the training that is required for an Ohio resident to get a CCW in Ohio.

When I took my CCW qualifications many years ago, I had a woman in the stall next to me actually put 2 rounds in my target. We were only 10' from the targets, and about 3' away from each other. She passed and got her CCW. There was also an old man that dropped his gun and broke it. The owner...

Check out Remora holsters. About as quick as you can get.

Colt 1903 in 32 acp.

I'm thinking about getting a Goldenrod dehumidifier for my new gun safe. The safe is a Cannon 48 gun with 40 cu. ft. interior space. The interior dimensions are 70H x 18D x 38W + fractions of an inch. I have found 2 different Goldenrods, this one without the feet in 12" & 18" long...

Before I bought my XDs I read a comment on here about the aggressive texture tearing up someone's hand. So when I first shot mine, I wore a glove. After I went through the first magazine, I took the glove off, and never felt the need to put it back on. I shot 100 rounds that first session and I...

I just had rotator cuff repair, bicep tendon 95% severed repair, and bone spur removal surgery this spring. I had the sling with the big foam pad between the arm and side. I thought about hollowing out the foam pad just enough to conceal my Kel Tec PF-9. Then when the drugs wore off a little...

OK, I'll play, what are the prerequisites for a BBQ gun? And why do you need a different gun to cook food with, other than your every day carry gun? I'm at a total loss trying to figure out the reason for this. And if the reason is to show off your fancy gun, why is it called a BBQ gun...

I think the best way for a woman to carry, is with a Smartcarry bellyband type holster. It will work great under jeans or a dress or skirt, especially if she has a little paunch (just don't mention that part to her). If she insists on wearing skin tight clothing, that won't work.

When I checked in to the regional trauma center in Dayton Ohio, (Miami Valley Hospital), I had to go through a metal detector where they detected my 2 pocket knives. I had to surrender both knives at the desk. They were placed in a zip lock bag with my name on it, and returned to me when I...
