    New to the SP101 club!

    RE I also had trouble deciding between the regular and the boot grips, but ultimately decided on the boot grips. I love them, and they're extremely comfortable when I hold the gun. I've never felt like I needed the extra length of the longer grips, and since they're shorter, it conceals...

    New to the SP101 club!

    RE I love my SP101. It has definitely become my carry of choice. With a good holster, I'll wear it all day without any issue. Edit: The grips are Badger Boot grips. The turnaround time was quite quick, and they fit/feel wonderful. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.

    Which of these .357 Mags would you buy?

    Re I'm not sure, I'll let you know after I try shooting them with the new grips :D. I haven't gone to the range since switching them out, but I'm hoping to go in the upcoming week or so. The grips are very comfortable and I don't feel like I'll lose my grip, but it's definitely something I...

    "Better" is the worst enemy of "good enough", ha ha. One of the many important things I've learned in the field.

    proposed federal high cap. mag ban

    The people who so blindly support this measure frighten me. The knee-jerk reactions by politicians to further their own personal agendas is also exceedingly disappointing, yet expected (sad, isn't it?). It seems that people forget that man is born free, and the sole purpose of laws is to limit...

    What's the deal with the Winchester White Box Bashing?

    I bought my first weapon (handgun) about a year and a half ago - XD .45. I initially only bought WWB and would go to the range with it and clean it afterwards (good habit to fall into). I then decided to try Federal Ammo from the same Wal-mart, and noticed that it left my firearm significantly...

    Courtesy/Guilt of buying from the local store vs. online

    I tried to buy local recently, but I was getting charged 20%+ wholesale. I'm happy to support at 10%, but 20 just felt like a kick to the nuts. This was $1500 rifle, so 20% is a lot at that price range. To make it worse, he wanted to charge $60 for his transfer fee since I would basically "be...

    M1A in the mail..a few Qs

    Hi folks, Today I just purchased a M1A Scout (walnut stock, of course) via an online retailer and it's getting sent to my local FFL within a few days. It's my first rifle, and I want to make sure I get quality mags/ammo for it. First of all, I'm assuming this magazine is the...

    Permit holder takes out the bad guy!

    Note that the article says he retrieved his firearm for his vehicle, then followed them to get their license plate number. At that time they pulled out a firearm on him, and he thus fired in self defense.

    Dressing for Concealment

    RE I have a Crossbreed IWBH, but my preferred method of choice is my Maxpedition Jumbo EveryDayCarry. It's comfortable and has a specific pocket for CCW. I actually get a lot of compliments on the bag.. Edit: I'm 148lbs so IWB carry is difficult. I'm also 27 so the bag looks like a...

    What about Mexico?

    RE Please don't even try. You'll get arrested and thrown in prison for even having a single round of ammunition on your person or your vehicle. Mexico has CCW, but unless you're wealthy/celebrity, etc, you have no chance of obtaining one.
