I actually kind of like the trigger on my Dagger. I just think of it as a typical striker fired trigger. I have owned a M&P 2. 0 longer than I have the Dagger though so maybe I'm just used to a hinged trigger.

I have an early Dagger that does not have an optic cut. I like it fine. It works. I had thought about getting an optic cut slide & optic so I could play with it (I've never had a handgun with an optic). The thing is gun money is limited & there seems to be always something else I want more.

While I do own a revolver & have owned others in the past, I'm more of a semi-auto guy. If I was going to carry a DA/SA revolver (I have used one for woods carry in the past). I would make it a point to practice the double action trigger as much or more than I did the SA. When my carry gun was a...

As far as the rest of it do what you like. If it is gun I will be carrying it gets cleaned.

The bad thing about the trigger of the P-11 I had wasn't the weight or length of pull. It was that it was the opposite of smooth. I know a lot of people would do some polishing & smooth them up. I just learned to shoot it as it was. It was about as accurate for me as anything else once I got...

I had one of those Taurus pistols. It was a PT-111 Millenium Pro G2. They described it as SA/DA. It was normally single action but it had a double action second strike capability. I honestly couldn't tell much if any difference between the double action & single action triggers. I disliked the...

it is not in production now but the Kel-Tec P-11 was hammer fired DAO. It had a shrouded hammer. If you want a smooth refined trigger pull it may not be the gun for you but it worked. I carried it for a long time due to its small size & light weight.

We have a 380 EZ here. I chose Hornady Critical Defense 90 grain ammunition.

In all honesty this just isn't my thing. It seems to be a prototype though. I find myself thinking of advice my father gave me long ago to never buy the first year of a new model of car. If I were interested in this I would just watch & wait. Let the reviews come in & the beta testing be...

I would expect that to work well. I have a Simmons (I think) 4x32 on one of my Marlin model 60's that has been fine. It has never given me a problem. I did have some difficulty shooting at a small target at 50 yards with it a while back, but that was not a scope issue. My eyesight has changed...

So I ran across this deal at gun.deals. Kygunco.com has these for less than $400 with free shipping. Seems really inexpensive. Are these decent? What are your experiences with them. Here is a link to the deal...

There is very little difference in size/weight between the LC9s & the Max 9. There is about $50 difference in price between a Max-9 & an EC9s. If you are interested in an LC9/LC9s I would suggest taking a look at the Max 9. I like mine the only problem I have had was caused by my grip. Once I...

I bought it from Midway. They probably would replace or refund but I'm not sure I want to invest the time to do it. Working 6 days a week these days. Between work, my daughter's soccer games & everything else I'm not sure it is worth the trouble.

So I got the recoil pad in today. The advice about either getting a grind to fit pad or just getting a slip on was spot on. I didn't want to fool with grinding & fitting so I ordered the prefit pad. I did download & print the template from Kick-Eez's website. It appeared to be right on side to...

I have 3 old Marlin/Glenfield .22's. One is a Marlin model 60 that I picked up back around 95. It came with I think a cheap tiny 4 power scope. It now wears a Bushnell 4x32 scope if memory serves correctly. The other is a 70's vintage Glenfield model 25 I had an inexpensive 3-9x32 on it that had...
