Saint - the 590's a good weapon but, like other posters mentioned, the tang safety is a problem with a pistol-grip stock. If the grip is a required spec for their weapon, I would go with the Remington 870 instead. To keep all options open, have they/you considered a side-by-side "coach gun"...

OK--Shatner's character is a caricature of a "Gun Nut" and tactically speaking you should go COM against an armed opponent at that range, but... OUTSTANDING use of deception/distraction to gain that sliver of an edge allowing him to draw and shoot, and "Watch...Wallet...Gun...Knee...Right...

Depends on the circumstance--6-12 unloaded guns in cases and boxes in the backseat? Of course not. 6-12 loaded handguns CCW'd on every place a holster can hang on a human body? Possibly. With the odor of weed in the car or a possible DWI? You'd better believe it. On a side note, in some...

Lots of good advice on technique and weapon selection, but I saw you post that you didn't know any ranges in NY that let you rent firearms. Hope these help. http://www.niagaragunrange.com/ http://www.usacarry.com/forums/new-york/3903-rental-ranges-ny.html

Yes, if your shotgun is an O/U birdgun with a 32" barrel, then you're going to have problems moving around in your house. However, from someone who has cleared buildings with a shotgun, a 18.5 to 20" with or without a full stock makes an excellent CQB weapon and is very manuverable if you...

I'm looking to get a few new magazines for my AR and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on manufacturers. I'm looking at Magpul, National Magazines and ProMag--any opinions/experience/criticisms of these products would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, any opinions on polymer vs...

Coronach stated it best with the word "ASSUMING". The video that is linked is self serving for the poster, and the initial incident which spawned the "harassment" complaint against this lad is conveniently NOT recorded (he stated this in his version of the events leading up to the first police...

Sixtigers: What??! I'm from NJ and that strikes me as some of the worst anti- propaganda I've heard in years. I know LOTS of guys who are on the job that were "familiar" with guns beforehand (myself included) that had NO problems with the psych. Relax.

A minigun (ala "Predator"), chambered for .22 and rigged up with a stock and hand guards (complete with Picatinny rails for all your accessorizing needs)! All furniture must be black to make it more "tacticool" but the Red dot sight can be optional.

Teach him the basics--sight picture, breathing, safety, trigger control, etc. DON'T worry about the more "high speed" stuff like drawing from the holster, shooting while moving, double taps and so on until he gets out of the academy. His firearms instructors are going to have a specific set of...

From a LEO's perspective (operating under the same lack of real facts that the rest of us are) I see a couple problems for the lad: 1) need to be 21 for handguns, right? 2) this eliminates suppression based on search violations. Defendant admits to possession of something he is...

Seancass: Holy Firepower, Batman! You don't happen to work for Richland County Sheriff's Department in SC, do you?

My Dept gives you a choice between the Glock 22 or 23 but will allow relative free choice for a BUG within set calibers. Since we need to demonstrate proficiency in assembly/disassembly, functioning and maintenance of non-Glock BUGs during qualifications, most guys simply go with the 27 since...

In my professional experience, most confrontations involve 1-3 BGs either unarmed or armed w/ non-firearms (either a surprised burglar with a screwdriver/crowbar or a mugging). The ranges were about 10 yards (running down the stairs towards you), down to contact (started at 1 yard directly in...

I am typically loathe to second guess a fellow LEO's actions, but there are only a few reasons that I could see for going into a closed trunk to get a pistol: 1) to verify that the firearm is actually in the trunk, not under the driver's seat. This can be done visually, however. 2) to ensure...
