    Cheaper/less lead time alternatives to Bell Charter Oak Deep Drop Bandit for J-Frame?

    Well, through some more searching I did come across this one: http://www.sideguardholsters.com/holsters/MinClip.htm This looks like it would do the trick for a lot less, but the wait time is the same. I may go this route. Thanks though, and keep any more suggestions coming, I...

    Cheaper/less lead time alternatives to Bell Charter Oak Deep Drop Bandit for J-Frame?

    I have been slacking on carrying for whatever reason, so I want to have another option of carry for my J-frame in addition to a Nemesis pocket holster (which I really do love). I want an IWB holster, and it looks like the Bell Charter Oak Deep Drop Bandit is perfect, because I want the...

    Marlin 60 feeding issues - Magazine tube issue?

    I took my dad's model 60 out this past week and was having some terrible feeding issues. The cartridge would nose dive and the bullet would actually bend and was crooked when it was finally pried out of the chamber. I took the stock off and cleaned everything the best I could without...

    M&P full size or HK USP Compact as Airsoft trainer for M&P9c?

    I did some searches and some thinking and am getting ready to get an airsoft outfit for training/fun in the house. The only problem is, I can't find anyone who makes my gun in airsoft form. I carry an M&P Compact 9mm, and I have seen the M&P 40 airsofts but never a compact. I was thinking...

    Walmart CCW Ammo?

    I don't think you mentioned caliber, but regardless, I have to agree with johnle. Winchester White Box 147gr JHP has tested very well, and that would definitely be my budget carry ammo choice. I choose to buy Federal HST 147gr +P, but wouldn't feel too badly about loading up with the WWB...

    S&W 642 or 638??

    I own a 638 and love it. Everyone seems to bring up that the SA is useless, but the 638 makes the hammer a non issue, and who doesn't mind the option of SA when plinking and trying to hit something small any further than 15 yards? For me it was just, why not?

    Non-expensive 9mm

    Don't know what your local shop charges, but you can get a full size or compact M&P 9mm at Buds for 439. Either way (full size or compact) the M&Ps are a strong value in my opinion.

    xd9 sub compact or glock 26? (for those who have shot both)

    In my opinion, you would be making a mistake to not at least give Smith & Wesson's M&P9c a chance in there as well.

    9mm Self Defense Ammo

    147gr +p, of course The P9HST4 is a mean load, and what goes in our guns at my house.

    Primer/Case Mouth Sealer for CCW cartridges?

    Yes, I have used the search function, thank you for asking. There seems to be a few companies sealing ammo from the factory (Speer I think is one) but I got to thinking about sealant for carry ammo and wondered if anyone else uses sealant on factory ammo (companies or applied by you after...

    .380 ammo for sd

    My dad just bought an NAA Guardian and I am itching to try some of the Double Tap 90gr Gold Dots in it. They are listed at 1000fps from a P3AT.

    Commander Sized 9mm

    Don't know what is up with all the non - 1911 input. Most people know what they like, especially in the case of a 1911 versus anything else. I recently bought a Kimber Pro Carry II Stainless in 9mm and I really like it. The blued version can be had for around $700 or so I think, so that is...

    Something like Pale Horse Scorpion for larger guns/purse carry?

    My wife is not comfortable with carrying her gun on her person, and has also not yet found a method that she is satisfied with as far as comfort and not creating a huge bulge. I know all of the negatives about purse carry, and she does as well, but I think it is coming down to that, and I...

    Why can't I find a reasonably priced, compact 9mm 1911?

    I have actually been looking into it and thinking a little more and this is what I came up with (also posted at the 1911 forum). I think I found exactly what kind of weapon I want. I want an officer sized frame with a 4-4.25" barrel chambered in 9mm. Does anything like this exist, or would...
