The difference in decibel rating is insignificant as is the difference in performance of the two cartridges projectiles to incapacitate an deadly threat inside of a home defense situation. If muzzle blast is a consideration keep stereo electronic hearing protectors with your handgun, like i do...

The Slate article is mostly a "gloss' over the broad, complex, multi-faceted problem of societal misfits; some of whom are violent. cjwils asks (in part) " . . . would an effective program for reducing future violence be worth the risks?" I submit that before you ask that, you must ask what...

That dehorning job is great. Everything else make a terrific package. Gratz.

Dan Wesson CCOB in 10mm auto.

Glad you did not have your thumb ripped open or off. Your experience should illustrate why many chose not to carry a 1911 in condition two; as it requires the lowering of the hammer on a live round. Sometimes we make mistakes or our nerves do not function in a optimal manner . . . oops! I...

For about 20 years I used an original Summer Special made by Bruce Nelson. I finally needed a replacement and went with Milt Sparks Summer Special II. http://www.miltsparks.com/

In the above quote, what caught my attention was the language which seeks to justifying outlawing the AR-15; "In almost every other nation in the world, the AR-15 assault rifle is either illegal or heavily restricted." Think about that. Most other nations are run by despots or dictators...

There is no government solution to preventing violence committed by a person who has no record of wrong doing. The government promises safety by taking away your rights; by creating circumstances which are more likely to make you a victim of criminal violence? Many other countries with much...

If I'm leaving my handgun in the car for more than a minute or two, I lock it inside of a metal container that has a cable secured to the seat frame. The locked container slides under my seat out of sight.

Consider what the most likely reaction to feeling your CZ slip down you pant leg would be. You grab it. In that event, the risk of a negligent discharge is significant. Retention and safety, as previously stated above; are why it is worth the search to find a suitable holster for your...

I prefer a revolver for woods carry. I prefer a 1911 10mm auto for self-defense/concealed carry. Ain't it great to have choices?

Larry Correia and Mike Kupari congratulations on a great novel Dead Six. I have read all the rest of Larry Correia's novels and suspected that I would enjoy something new that he wrote. This novel written with Mike Kupari has a different flavor as if two chef's have cooperated to create a...

The Government Models: The Development of the Colt Model of 1911 by William H. Goddard It has been described as: "The most authoritative source on the development of the world's most popular military pistol. Includes an illustrated description and analysis of all the variations...

So to be clear we are talking about a guy who got arrested for possessing the items which if assembled would look like the pictured firearm below? A semi-auto, right? This is alleged to be a violation of Florida law.

I love my DW CBOB in 10mm. I did work the slide on the frame about 1000 times with plenty of oil before going shooting. It was still finicky about feeding all of the different ammo I tried. Now after about 150 rounds through it, it eats all types of factory ammo.
