10-Ring, If needed, I'd do mods. I'm guessing I'll have to get quality mags, do a trigger mod/trigger job, and possibly an ejector at some point. I need the gun to run well off the shelf. I'm inclined to "wring out" whatever it is I own first, and then make changes if needed. There are...

take a look at the Tru-Glo TFO's. Work well in dark or day.

OK, I'd have guessed that there was a thread for this, but I just couldn't find it! I'm interested in adding a 1911 to the collection, but don't want to spend more than $700, and don't especially want to spend that. $500's would be just about right. I'm looking for opinions on solid...

A friend of mine has smallish hands and loves the Glock 19. That would be my top pick for reliability with any ammo too. Stay away from the Beretta 9000. I've read some sketchy things about it reliability wise, I thought it had kind of a fat grip (I have large hands and it fits me pretty...

There was buzz a couple of years ago that Sarah Brady actually bought a gun for her son (a .22 rifle I think) who couldn't obtain one legally for himself. AKA - a straw purchase. Forgiv my lack of details, and accept my apologies if this turns out to be disproven. I'll try and look it up and...

Lupinus, I'd stay away from the t-shirt, belly-bands, and ankle holster rigs. They may conceal the weapon well (I don't think the ankle rigs are that great for concealment either BTW), but think about all of the gyrations you'd have to go through to get to the weapon. When you really need...

I find IWB to be MUCH more concealable. NOt terribly uncomfortable. I have a Sidearmor IWB that's OK, but not great for comfort. Kydex is very stable though. Milt Sparks are supposed to be terrific! The VM2 is supposedly "THE ****". LONG waiting period though. Try and find a dealer online who...

Admittedly, I didn't read the whole thread, and this may be in here - so I apologize if it is! Check out some of the John Conner Gun Crank Diaries, and look for his wife - The Memsaab Helena, and "Little Lizzie" stories. Very moving! I've had this debate with my wife (who is not an anti...

I thought the RFP for the U.S. military just went out, so I don't think it has been awarded yet. AND I didn't think this was the pistol that Springfiled was entering. I thought they were doing an XD .45acp Don't know about other militaries around the globe.

2 guns - shotgun or a rifle and a pistol would probably be a good choice. Especially with the bear requirement. Although, a 10mm, .40 pistol may be able to handle the bear quickly, and a .45 certainly would be able to. Glock and Springfield XD are both great, durable, reliable weapons...

Ferrari, What are you trying to do with the firearm? Carry it on day to day basis? Do a lot of range work with it? Compete with it? Or, keep it as a dedicated home-defense weapon? Very different answers for the different scenarios. I'm repeating what many other posters have said, but...

Sounds "confused" to me. But, he is a politico, so talking out of both sides of his arse, eh er a mouth, may come naturally. Also, where does the 350,000 people killed each year number that the libs keep quoting come from? I'm sure it's homicides, wars, suicides, accidents, police actions...

Good work Carl!! I actually sprung for the PPV of the debate when it originally aired. Good stuff. Wayne LaPierre really destroyed Peters. She got flustered, couldn't back-up any of her statements with facts, and couldn't defend the fact based questions/statements from Wayne. Really, just...

Definitely do your homework. I have both new and used. I have to say I have more issues with the new ones! What are you considering buying? Used, factory reconditioned (or from a reputable owner) Glocks or SIGs (especially the SIGs) are great deals. Glocks are just getting broken in at...
