    Optic or no optic on your defense handgun?

    You folks are much swifter than I am. I use a S&W 19 for ultimate self defense. Why am I slower? Adrenalin kicks in, tunnel vision takes over. All I can remember is PULL THE TRIGGER. Oh yea, I have a Glock w/competition sights ready too. ;) Stay safe, Max

    EDC for new female shooter

    yes, a service revolver in .38spl is best. none of the women in my family is going to spend time at the range in any regular fashion. therefore a gun that you can pick up and goes bang is what's needed. lengh of pull and trigger weight notwithstanding. good luck.

    “Small hands and women shooters”

    Why do people assume that small hands need small guns? Or better yet why do women want who don’t shoot regularly want complicated auto loaders? My medium hands work fine on my CZ75B SA And My Beretta 92FS. I do have to shift grip to drop mags and also to release safety. For tactical...

    My Astra family is complete

    One eyed Jacks are wild...just joking. i appreciate your collecting these. I had one in my hand which didnt work for evaluation from a friend: after showing to my gunny we decided it wasnt worth buying a mag and then trying to unfreeze it all and make it work.
