I have a firearm that I bought for 1000 and was offered 5000 and told the buyer to F off. Value is very subjective. It is what a buyer will pay and a seller will separate for. Both have to meet in order for a sale to happen, firearms or otherwise. If you pay X amount and are happy with it, more...

This reminds me of the NY Zodiac killer of improvised weapons. This article doesn't nearly encompass how stupid the criminal or LE was during the time. But mistakes were made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heriberto_Seda I don't think homemade firearms should ever be illegal. In the serial...

As of now and over the course of my entire life, the 2A has always been a second class right. Never for better, always worse. Heller and McDonald were wins for the 2A but have very little teeth. States like NY, CA, and MA have openly thumbed their noses at SCOTUS decisions with no consequence...

Reading the OP and not the pages therein, I don't agree with school lock downs on "potentials." I work in a facility with many "codes" of various degrees. From a lost person to severe weather to fire to an active shooter. Many times I investigate before I ever alarm people and coworkers. I think...

The primary and most advertised advantage of gel is it is less likely (not impossible) for the wind to carry it back into your own face. Anyone who carries pepper spray must be conscious of the fact wind (even inside, by a moving door possibly) can blow pepper spray back into your own face. And...

Sure have. A small price to pay to fight against cross contamination with your family jewels. In my opinion.

Many of the Streamlight weapon lights have a lockout lens. Turn the lens 15 or so degrees to the unscrew direction (left) and it prevents the light coming on. Turn tight again to disable. Works on the TLR7 and 8 families. Listed as a feature on the RM 1 and RM 2 lights as well. I don't see it on...

Bring a gallon of milk (per person) next time you get certified, if that is still your field. Milk does a better job reducing the agents of chemical sprays than water. Just pour it on your face and other skin that got some spray. Don't rub the milk into the orificaces. Especially the eyes. Chill...

Deescalation is mostly just not being an a**h***. There are plenty of motions and words you can use to smooth some ruffled feathers. And you learn them by practicing in the most realistic situations possible. Long time ago in military and coorections, we used a projector to display lifelike...

One area where I see PCCs (Homesteaders, Ruger LC Carbines etc) exploding in popularity (more so than currently) is if we somehow lose the legal fight to put pistol braces on ARs and the like. I sold off my braced AR in 5.56 with a 10.5" barrel. Mainly built it for the misses, now ex misses. And...

I tried carrying a Desert Eagle 357Mag IWB once for a few days. Was not very comfortable. Probably could have managed to do so with a quality OWB holster instead. Comfortably it is a tie between a Beretta 92 and several flavors of 1911. Both are about the same size.

My full size carry option has an optic. My pocket gun does not. I like them but they will probably never be on my smallest carry firearms. Having a window on one sort of eliminated the advantage of a small gun.

I prefer G96. But I keep some Remoil around for light cleanings. I change up what I clean with so I am not going through one kind of cleaner too quickly. I have G96, Remoil, CLP of both military and commercial vintage, Spartan solutions, and Hoppes Elite as options for cleaning. And thats just...

Wow folks. I was not expecting this thread to churn up so much discussion. Thank you. I have tried to read every post and take into consideration everyone's POV. Cause that is a great part about THR. I suppose the object of my PCC confusion is the 9mm. And 45ACP to an extent. I have some very...

I know this is gonna get some flak, I don't really care. It is more for discussion. But I don't really understand the point of pistol caliber carbines/rifles. Handguns, in both form factor and caliber, are a compromise. You carry a handgun because carrying a rifle is too cumbersome, obvious...

That is just plain awful. Reminds me of anything I see in a Budk catalog. As someone who has plenty of authentic and vintage Kabars, just plain disgusting.

I have been LEO/military certified on 3 different types of pepper spray. Sabre red, Defense Tech 1st Defense .4%, and Freeze +p. Freeze by far is the best and worst pepper spray, depending on which side of the nozzle you are standing on. My current can expired 5 years ago and the label is almost...

Because they are. I have handled many Remlins at stores, looking for something budget minded in a similar caliber. None compared to my Marlin made in the 80s. Fit, finish, and quality were nowhere near the same. Even during the last 3 years Remington was in business, their Marlins were shod quality.

Holster selection is far more important than firearm selection when it comes to appendix carry. I used to carry appendix in a soft leather holster, a striker-fired pistol. Then I read about holsters getting old and soft allowing a divet to form around the trigger and bang. So I started using a...

I was once under a felony indictment. I was not allowed to buy any new firearms during that time, but the ones I had were not in danger of confiscation. The most inconvenient portion was my concealed carry permit at the time was suspended. So I could not carry a firearm for awhile. To this day I...
