42 here. Life has been nuts for about a year or two, haven't been on the forums much. Glad to see there's alot of activity here !

Jim PHL bought one on inauguration day. That's priceless !:neener: Wish I thought of that one. OK, well, the best one for me was the old Sig Sauer P6 that I found at a gun show. Not beautiful, but shoots great, light weight, hits where I aim, feeds hollowpoints, and hides well in my carry...

Zip ties are awesome. Wish I was the person who invented them! ;)

Yep. The ol' cheap Bianchi spring clip IWB holster with a Browning HP: Public restroom. Went down my pants leg and landed on the floor. One time with a bellyband and my Sig P6, but I caught it in my shirt as I was exiting the truck. Seems like it needs a retention strap for that one. One...

DeSantis Speed Scabbard with a sturdy leather belt. Holds a Sig P6 in 9mm. Can wear it all day, in and out of a vehicle. Gun stays put, and holds close to the body. Works with just an overshirt or a light jacket. Other method is a bellyband holster with the gun under one arm. Works even...

Wish I still had mine. Early 90's manufacture Browning MKIII in plain black finish. Would do 1.5" groups at 25 yds on a good day with 122 gr cast TFP bullets. Never been able to do that with another pistol in my hands. Wish I could still shoot that well. That was back when I was shooting...

Double Naught Spy hit the nail on the head. I've just spent ALOT of time with a 3.5" Colt 1911 gun, and the reliability issues are definitely coming into play because of all the extra rockin and rollin going on in the slide/barrel/linkage/timing issues. I thought I liked Officer's ACP models...

A Star PD in .45acp with three extra magazines would be what I would want for that amount. I don't know why a 9mm has to be so heavy!

I've bought only a little bit more ammo lately, and also traded some work with a friend of mine who bought me some reloading components in exchange too. I don't want to go crazy, can't afford it anyway, but judging from the actions vs. words scenario with our politicians, plus the arrogance and...

At least they didn't put "Tactical" on the heading. I don't have clothes cool enough looking to own this model. :D Seriously, though, I would probably hurt myself on the rail notches. I spent too much time with an un-accessorized Stevens double barrel as a kid. I love coach guns!

Unless you're just dead set on buying one, please oh please don't. Don't. Don't. I have never been able to find one that hides well and stays put. A holster has to stay in place to work properly. Buy a high ride pancake style or a high quality inside the pants one like a Milt Sparks Summer...

My experience is that a .38 spl gun shot from a snubnose in a 10X10 room is pretty bad, and a bit dis-orienting. A .45 in a large room ain't great either, if you have sensitive ears like mine. No, it wouldn't stop me from finishing a gunfight, though. As for using an AR-15 or M4 indoors, I...

When I'm in a gun store or at a show, my "radar" is usually on. I've had to tone it down a bit over the years. As long as someone is not getting into danger with the info they're getting, or getting sold something that is waay too complicated to use, I usually just leave it alone, unless the...

Hey everybody. I haven't been around much lately - been busy in the workshop when I'm not at the day job. Here's some pictures of some recent boxes I made. Studying old ammunition crates and militaria is fast becoming a hobby of mine. A couple of the items - the camouflaged box and the one...

Congrats. I remember my first time too. Out walking at night in 1990. Glock 17 9mm in a thin Bianchi suede inside pants belt clip holster. NOT comfortable! Anyway, listen to ArchAngelCD and Swampwolf had to say. I had an experience ring true about keeping the CCW thing quiet. A really...
