    Para Ordnance GI Expert

    I've been reading lots of reviews, some people liking, some people not so liking. I figured I'd give my own little report on my Para Ordnance GI Expert. I bought it about a week ago. I had always wanted a 1911 and I always looked at the Kimbers when I went to the gun stores. I started looking at...

    Concealed Carry in South Florida (and other hot areas)

    Out of the 3 you're interested in, I have a Glock 23 carried on the hip in a Blackhawk CQC level 2 holster. As long as your shirts aren't skin tight or extremely thin, concealment isn't an issue. Whatever you choose, just don't do like some people and put it under your shirt in your arm pit or...

    Glock Trigger Smoothing

    ndh87: I cleaned everything and its still gritty. My "company" says a 3 pound trigger pull or more, and i heard the trigger pull can lessen over time. So i dont wanna put one thats too close to cut-off. greyling22: good site... from what I did see of it looked informative.

    Glock Trigger Smoothing

    A couple of months ago I bought a Glock 23. It made me realize how gritty my Glock 35's trigger felt. I watched a couple of instructional videos on fully disassembling the glock so I could see if cleaning the trigger and housing and all that would make a difference. I have always heard of...

    Thinking about a Glock trade

    I have a glock 35, i believe they are the same dimensions. I carried it off duty every now and then. But I recently bought a glock 23 for carry and love it. It is the compact. I held the g27 (i think its equivalent of the g26 for size) and found that i really dislike not having enough size for...

    Nics

    Speak with a lawyer. But an expungement is not what some people on here are making it sound to be. Its not an erase all/never happened process. Its just no longer public record. And I thought you said it was simple assault, so what are you worried about domestic violence laws with? It was...

    Shooting Gloves?

    I have some Franklin gloves with the kevlar and all that I ordered a while back to replace my Hatch gloves. The Franklin's are thick as hell, and the inside lining is loose so when your hand is all sweaty, and you pull it out, the lining comes with it. It gets annoying trying to put the lining...

    Marksmanship: Police vs. civilian

    For the "are police civilians?" conversation. If you can legally run away from an incident and go home and forget about it...I'd call you a civilian. Anyone else, your duties are different than that of a civilian. As an Officer, you are expected to act differently at the movie theatre when...

    Marksmanship: Police vs. civilian

    When a civilian fires upon an intruder, they "can't" really be wrong about the target. But an Officer isn't standing in the shadows observing a felonious act, preparing their action. They are sticking their heads in car windows at night when someone grabbing for a cellphone and is repeatedly...

    .22LR stopping power?

    A 22lr is deadly if well placed. If the target is shot enough, it is deadly. There are generally two kinds of people you will face. Sober and drunk and/or crazy. Sober will get pain compliance and panic feeling of being shot if the shots are not in vital points. Drunk/crazy need vital area shots...

    About to buy my first Pistol!!

    My first pistol was a Taurus 24/7 pro .40cal.... The reliability has been excellent. Only problem was when i first tried to take it down, it would get "locked" and my friend (a glock armorer) suggested to knock on it with a nylon mallet on the muzzle to get it "unstuck"... this went on a couple...

    Does the .40 S&W Just Need More Time?

    So far I understand that the cons of a .40 are it doesnt hold as many rounds as a 9mm, and doesn't have the "punch" of a .45... The pros of the .40 are it has more of a "punch" than a 9mm, and holds more than .45....... :rolleyes: ...Own atleast one of each, I like them all. Personal preference...

    Night Sights on a Glock - Glock or Trijicon?

    I have Meprolight on my g35...Chose meprolight because it offered rear sights that glow orange, and a front sight that glows green. Dont know if anyone else offers it but in my very brief search for nightsights, this is what i came upon.
