Well said.

If someone wants to own a firearm in their home for self protection and defense, shooting sports, hunting, etc, I believe its their right and they shouldn't be restricted by required. Training should be actively promoted, encouraged, and free information made readily available. But it should up...

I've got both an LCP and PF9, and would recommend either highly. The PF9 had a magazine issue where it wouldn't lock open on the last round, the other magazines were fine. I had a failure to feed one time in the first box of ammo. For the last 500+ rounds, 100% reliable with FMJ and JHP ammo...

Outlaw? Where did that come from? I did see what you did, I just don't understand it ;) You took a rational statement and took it to the very extreme, and then used that extreme as a basis to validate your viewpoint. As others have said in this forum, and elsewhere, there are some real idiots...

I agree that a holstered firearm is inherently safe. it's not going to fire on its own, but needs human interaction in order to be made unsafe. If the holstered gun was lying on a table all by itself, its safe IMO. However, a holstered firearm under the direct control of the person carrying the...

Rifle: AR-15 .223 Pistol: Sig Sauer P229 or Glock 22 in .40S&W Shotgun: Remington 870 12ga

I don't have anything with a grip safety, so I'll reserve comment until I have had experience with them. But for magazine disconnects, I don't want or need them on my range guns , but definitely prefer them on a carry gun. IMO, there are two main scenarios with a magazine disconnect that are...

Thanks a lot RTMiller! Makes me want to leave my M&Ps in the bag if you take that out at the range :( Very nice!! I love nickel, stainless, duo tones, etc.

Based on my own personal experiences, the Sigs are worth the extra money. Not sure how much more, but easily +$200 or so. I love my M&Ps as well, but if I had to give up the M&Ps or the Sigs, the M&Ps would go without question. The Sig's feel better in the hand, have been more accurate for me...

Gotcha. I misread your meaning. I don't know how to answer that question since there are so many what ifs in any situation. What I do know is that most criminals are not very savvy when it comes to firearms, and may not even know what a magazine disconnect is or how it works. In a struggle for...

What would you do when faced with any malfunction with a semi-auto? I was taught to 'Tap-Rack-Reload' while moving to cover, which will resolve it very quickly right at 'Tap'. It's probably quicker, easier, and safer to perform the malfunction drill then trying to aim and shoot with a finger up...

It seems odd to me that for a group of people so adamant about defending ones right to choose on so many other issues, that some loose this objectivity when it comes to what caliber to carry, what condition to carry in, or when or how often one should carry. If we support ones decision to not...

I hadn't thought of that, and it may be an option I'll explore in more detail. I'd rather pop in a new magazine, but if that's not an option, depressing the plunger might allow me to get a round off and give the me time to disengage, retreat, or reload and re-engage as the situation dictates...

I use a couple gun vaults, readily available, bolted and secure, that I can access in seconds. However children have no access to the contents. I feel extremely confident keeping readily available and loaded firearms handy with this solution. Even if they stumbled across them, they aren't...

For a target, competition, or range firearms, I don't see the need for them. With that said, I wouldn't pass up buying a specific firearm I liked just because it had one either, nor would I feel the need to bypass it. Proper handling and training is all that is needed for safe use. For a self...
