Where I reside, Texas, I remain fully compliant with the law. When travelling I live by the adage that it's better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. With that said, if I have a 10 and a 15 round mag, 10 will do me.

Finally bought my first Glock, a gen 3 green one. I would post a picture, but seriously, what's the point, it's a gen 3 Glock. :)

Strap in, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

I got some good ideas from you guys, thanks.

Spyderco makes a decent knife but fewer and fewer are US made. The Dragonfly is made in Japan. I realize that this isn't a big deal to some but for a bit more money I prefer always made in America Benchmades

If you hang around the gun world long enough you will get a good feeling for what is good what isn't. For example, Glocks have a stellar reputation and are great guns, no question. I have shot several. They are not for me so I don't own one but I have no question about their reliability and...

I don't like reviews beyond looks, fit and finish, etc. from people that don't have a lot of trigger time on the firearm in question. That is why I really appreciate nutnfacy, his reviews are his opinion but they are based on solid, long term use. Hickok45 has become a bud's shill and doesn't...
