    Slide grease preferences for using on CCW auto?

    Depends on what you are using the gun for Warp. Informal bullseyes at the range - regular cleaning probably not necessary....competition, self defense, duty, - Why wouldn't you clean it? Olympic skaters sharpen their skates before every skate for one reason...they work better that way. Even if...

    Slide grease preferences for using on CCW auto?

    I would spend the extra $5 and get a lightweight grease specifically designed for guns. Don't go throwing wheelbearing grease on there because a $6 tub has the potential to last the rest of your life. You frequently see cost as a reason given to use something other than gun lubricants and that...

    .22LR for physically challenged ?

    Well your experience is far more relevant than mine. I apologize for the overly simple analogy with the car. the message remains the same, if you cant pull a double action trigger, or cycle the action on a 9mm or 380, you need to take steps to protect yourself far beyond buying a .22 handgun...

    .22LR for physically challenged ?

    Hunter, you're 100% right. Anybody who can drive a car has the physical strength required to shoot and control a 9mm or .380. They just might not have the desire personality to do it. That isn't a bad thing at all. Some people just dislike everything about guns, the noise, the recoil, the...

    .22LR for physically challenged ?

    I don't know guys....to me this sounds like a situation where a gun is not the answer. Or at least, a gun is not the answer she is ready for. Guns are used for fighting, you must have the fighting mindset before a gun will do you a bit of good. A gun is useless if you aren't mentally prepared...

    Question on AR15 magazines

    On brand-new magazines? Any info to support your answer? Its been my experience that manufacturers dont go through extra effort to identify deffective parts. Is this a guess or a real answer?

    Question on AR15 magazines

    Hi all, I've done a few internet searches and can't find any answers so I figured I would try here. At the rang I frequent, I have seen a good number of USGI AR15 magazines, most with green followers. Some of these green followers are marked with a black "S". Does anyone know what this marking...

    Please help me diagnose my crappy Glock 23 shooting

    This was my first guess, its called "healing". Its most likely loosening the grip as you press the trigger. People usually do this when they are consciously trying to avoid "flinching" (attempting to counter recoil by tightening grip and pushing away). No offense to any who have posted here...

    Now we look incompetent

    Maybe "credit" is a bad way to describe what I'm trying to say. Guns malfunction and ND's occur. Usually its operator error, sometimes it isnt. A firing pin stuck or frozen in the forward position could easily cause an ND. Im just thankful this guy was following the most effective rule of...

    Good point Jeff.

    Now we look incompetent

    Two things, First, the guy with the ND is getting crushed, and rightfully so. However, he should get some credit for following the single most important role of firearms safety...don't point it at anyone. Probably saved a life in this circumstance. Second, there seems to be some support...

    Buy or Pass on Korean Glock mags?

    I would buy them and paint the bodies yellow or orange to designate them as practice-only magazines. There is a great reason to have them - more magazines equals less time spent loading on the firing line. If they are terrible, its an excellent opportunity to practice clearing malfunctions. I...

    Weapon Light Too Bright?

    Some lights can definitely be too bright for indoor tactical use. Im aware of two problems with an overly bright light: Most importantly, you want to use your light only when needed because it often gives away your position before it reveals the position of your target. You should use your...
