The other day, I stopped at high noon at a gas station. I had foolishly let my car run down to about 1 - 2 gallons of fuel left. I don't live in a great area, but it's not terrible either. I picked a gas station on the route to where I was going that's also not great, but not terrible. As...

Story #1, firsthand: The last time this happened, I was at my better half's apartment (who at the time had a "no guns at my place" policy) when a sound like someone knocking on the door awoke us at 3 AM. After taking several minutes to realise it was not a dream and not to be ignored, I...

I know an elderly gentleman with numerous health problems who CCWs an SR-22 because it's all he can handle, recoil-wise. He does not drive. If I were in his situation, I would probably choose a different, non-rimfire round, but I respect the reasons that led to his choice to carry this calibre...

1990s-era German made Sig P226 9mm DA/SA in a combination-lock safe, loaded, one in the chamber, spare mag in the safe, Buffalo Barnes TAC-XP 115gr +P+. I wish it had night sights or a light (it's not a P226R), but a flashlight sits right above it which myself or my better half will be...

My Springfield 1911 came with a paddle holster branded "11 Gear", which works quite well for the one-off occasion when I need to open carry. (Primarily churches or day cares when my job duties take me there late at night; we can OC there but definitely no concealed carry.) It's also suitable for...

I have a Springfield Range Officer. Never had a single FTE or FTF, and have fed plenty of JHPs and GDHPs through it, ranging from old fashioned Federal Hydra-Shoks to Speer Gold Dots. I'm more accurate on it than any of my other pistols. I have made zilch modifications to it nor ever taken it...

I ordered a Crossbreed Supertuck (IWB) for both an M&P Shield 40 and a standard 1911. I went to an intermediate-level class and spent about half the day with the Shield, and half the day with the 1911. The holsters performed great, although I switched to 4 o'clock carry instead of...

I used to carry an LCP, and before that a BG380. I started with the DeSantis Nemesis for the BG380. I gave up on it, since the holster just plain stays with the gun when drawing. I then got a DeSantis Superfly. It worked fine for back pocket carry. I switched to the LCP and got another...

I have a P238 Equinox. I used to carry an S&W Bodyguard 380 and then a Ruger LCP. I pocket carry with a DeSantis SuperFly; used to have a DeSantis Nemesis. I strongly recommend the SuperFly. Out of the BG380, LCP, and P238, the P238 I can get tight groupings at 21'. I can barely get any...
