Many of us carry a gun every single day. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who can't carry at work. My question is this: Is it bad for a gun or the ammo to leave it in the car all day? I know that here in South Texas the temperature in the car can reach upwards of 130 degrees. Is there a...

Italian, anyone? My primary CHL weapon is a Beretta Px4 Storm 9mm. It's a 17+1 polymer frame pistol. I like it plenty. It's also available as a 10+1 .45. The pistol is ever-so-slightly larger than the 9/40 version.

State Laws The truth is that it absolutely varies from state to state. Texas, for instance, has deadly force laws that allow for the protection of property. DO NOT ASSUME that the laws of one person in one state are the same in another. This will land you in a world of trouble. If you...

I don't have anything new to add. As a TX CHL holder I wouldn't give up reciprocity with other states. I'm all for open carry, but most certainly not in lieu of concealed.

+1 on berettaprofessor. You trying to fix a problem or modify a pistol?

Bear in mind that the barrel on a 92 is loose by design. Not that dissimilar from a 1911, it was engineered as a combat sidearm. In that respect, 2" groups are acceptable (by most) in a firefight. I have heard many things about these guns as comp. guns, mostly good. I haven't modified mine...

My 92FS is pretty dead-on for me. I can do much better than 4" at 15 yds. I'd hate to see it go, but you gotta get what fits. If Beretta is what you like, I'd like to suggest you rent/try a Px4 Storm. You'll find it very familiar as a 92 owner. Very good gun born from the Cougar, and I...

Anyone know where to get magazines for a this .22LR plinker? I took it out to the range and learned it's a tack-driver (way more accurate than me), but had several feed-jams that I attribute to having only one magazine that's in barely speakable condition. Y'all let me know if you come up...

Actually... That's a "dark earth" polymer frame, and the barrel's just extended. I imagine threading it wouldn't be much trouble. If you can afford the pistol... MSRP is upwards of $1100 (or was when it came out). Given their scarcity, expect to pay at or near MSRP, unfortunately. Good...

Use Caution Coupla things: While the .45ACP Storm pistol is close, it is not a spot on match in all dimensions. The overall length is a touch longer, which will make a difference in custom leather. As far as the way the pistol feels in the hand, the .45 is more or less the same, though a...

Yes I don't know if you have one and are thinking of carrying it, or if you're trying to decide whether or not to buy one. In either case, I can tell you from personal experience that the Px4 carries just fine. I wear mine Every Single Day. If I'm not at work, in bed, or in the shower, I'm...

I inherited one of these fine rifles about 15 years ago, and it was stored through several moves before I finally found a reproduction manual for it and cleaned it up. Seemed like everything was in order to me, so I took it out recently and it was an absolute tackdriver. LOVED it. One...

Hope The Ogre don't mind too much, but he's got about a zillion reasons. http://madogre.com/Interviews/BELIEVEGUNCONTROL.htm Enjoy!

Simplify the question... ...and get a more satisfying answer. The question is not, "Why carry at a university?" The question is not, "Why carry _______ (insert location of any sort here)?" The question is simply, "Why carry?" To me, that question was answered by one of the mods here and...

I have been told more than once that, while training is paramount, the instructor must be truly expert in their field and someone you'd want to learn from. It has been recommended to me several times to check up on any potential instructor to make sure 1. that they are who they say they are and...
