Thanks for all the info guys. I was wondering how the recoil would be as no one i know really shoots revolvers and hasnt a clue. I dont plan on buying anything until i can shoot it, the arilight just seems like an ideal carry gun. Since a lot of people think the kick may be a bit much...

I have been looking for my first ccw handgun for a while now. I originally looked at automatics since they are what i was most familiar with, however after holding a few revolvers i have changed my tune a bit. It looks like im going to be getting a .357 airlite. The problem is i know next to...

One of these days some politician is going to realize that being pro-choice and pro-gun will give them a great deal of the middle line vote. There area lot of people who every year must make a tough decision when it comes to voting Democrat or republican. Do you value life saving surgery or the...

El Tejon I still call myself a feminist, but i dont use the "men are evil and keeping everyone else down" definition. Feminism is about empowerment and equality, to me it means being delightfully female in every aspect. It also means appreciating just how delightfully male men are. I think i...

Outdoor research also makes one!!!

Personally, when i see RR 5.11 pants i think rock climber or paramedic. Thw whole brand was started by a rock climber/mountaineer and the 5.11 is very popular with the climbing community as you can carry lots of extra stuff in the pants, the tend towards the very burly, and are often less...

So i turned 21 on the 25th, and like all newly minted adults wanted to go out and to all the things i couldnt do the day before. So my friends and i decided to go shooting, and im buying the ammo. We went out to GI-Joes and spend 15 minutes waiting for a counter guy to hand me three boxes of...

I dontk now about your area, but in oregon it is perfectly legal for a family member to give you ammo for handguns as well as the handgun itself. However the family member has to be a parent or guardian(for a 20yo !?!?!?) if you want the handgun to be legal with the state. Hence all my handguns...

I dont think you will have a lot of luck finding camelback packs sans bladder, they just dont make them. However it is pretty much SOP for the back pack manufacturers to include a hydration pouch in there packs now. I would look into a Gregory or Osprey product. Also i believe Cloudveil or The...

Re: purses and such. The Cougar wouldnt be a problem if i was wanting to carry in my bag. Both of my purses(the small go anywhere and the big taking lunch to work) have spots "built" into them for a firearm. I bought them specifically because they would be easy to carry with. But i dont want...

Well, maybe i need to buy a new cougar then. The one i have has mod. 8000 cougar f on the slide, so im thinking its the full size version. It was a gift from my boyfriend who is a bit bigger then me, and decided to give it to on account of my liking it so much:p We werent really thinking about...

For the last two years i have been looking at CCW guns and thought i had come up with the right firearm for me. I had been hoping to carry a beretta cougar in 9mm. The problem is that now im actually a few weeks away from getting my CHL and am having trouble finding a good way to carry the...

David4516: Most of the time i end up going to a Gravel quarry out towards the beach. Unless you want to go to a spot like the Place to Shoot (Out by PIR and such) there really isnt a good option. Also, do you have your CHL and if so, where did you get your gun safety class requirement? If you...

Thanks WhoKnowsWho. Now i just need to find a place that sell's belly bands. I didnt even know they made them!

Mountain Safety Research. They make a lot of backcountry gear for mountaineers and skier's. Their stoves are some of the best you can get for high altitude use ;-) http://www.msrcorp.com/home.asp
