    Carrying a G19 OWB. How to do it?

    Thanks everybody I will check out every recommendation. I have carried a G25 in a CompTac mtac holster. Before that I carried it in a variety of cheap, clip-on IWB holsters. The mtac is as confortable as it gets for me, but I still think OWB is more confortable, and much more practical for...

    Carrying a G19 OWB. How to do it?

    First let me say I am not much of a fan of OWB holsters. Sometimes I use a pancake leather holster, but then it bulges so much I have to wear a jacket over it. I carry a G19 concealed IWB. Not because I prefer carrying it that way, but that´s the only way I can conceal it wearing untucked...

    What if I'm not a 1911 kinda guy?

    This doesn´t fly with me. The 1911 is my favorite platform. That said, 13 round capacity is better than 7 round capacity. Much better.

    Dumbest thing you heard/saw in a Gun Store or at the range.

    I was 19 years old, I had a friend whose father was a LEO. I had never shot a handgun before. I talked to this friend of mine about shooting, firearms, etc. This friend of mine said, well there is a small indoor range not far from here, let´s just go down there after work, rent a pistol, and...

    Is Taurus good enough to compete against the best in business?

    I agree with everything you said. I voted a solid Yes. Their new catalog is here. The 24/7 oss looks good.

    Is Taurus good enough to compete against the best in business?

    Hey Tomcat47, I downloaded the 2007 catalog from Taurus website and could not find anything about a custom PT1911. Where did you hear about it?

    Question: Training with a .22lr pistol

    Thanks for the replies everybody. After reading your posts I have decided I´m gonna go for a rimfire pistol. I am still deciding which one to get. I narrowed it down to two models: Beretta Cheetah 87 and Kimber Rimfire Target. Following the advice of Caimlas and Headless, I tried to restrict...

    Long Barrels and .380 Auto

    PT59, same size as the PT92/Beretta92/M9: It is currently in production. I opened a thread about this same subject a while ago. Big .380 guns are hard to find nowadays.

    Question: Training with a .22lr pistol

    I can get some practice with the proper calibers, it is just that I can practice so much more with .22 ammo. On the other hand, more rounds of .22lr fired means less rounds fired with the primary carry gun. I am not sure this compromise is worth it, training wise. I have thought about...

    Question: Training with a .22lr pistol

    I feel more context is necessary... I live in Brazil, and we have the vast amount of 1 ammunition manufacturer: CBC/Magtech. Ammo importation is severely restricted. I think you all know where I am getting at... Around here, the cheapest, legally obtained, .40sw is on sale for USD$200.00 a...

    Question: Training with a .22lr pistol

    Training with a .22lr pistol, does it significantly improve your shooting with larger calibers? What would be a more effective defense training? To shoot 400 rounds of .22lr a week with a pistol you won´t carry, or 40 rounds a week with your primary carry handgun? Or maybe 200 rounds of...

    Picture Request: Beretta Cheetah Vs. 92

    Initially I was looking at the 84, but I´ve been leaning towards the 87 in .22lr. That is great to hear. Do you have any experience with the 87?

    Picture Request: Beretta Cheetah Vs. 92

    No, not really. PT59, same size as the PT92/Beretta92/M9: It kinda beats the point of .380, uh? I am interested in the Cheetah, but it is a lot of dough for me, and I don´t like tiny pistols. I want to be sure about the actual size before I take the plunge for one.

    Picture Request: Beretta Cheetah Vs. 92

    What a fast draw, Jimmie! Thanks, it seems the grip size is about the same in both pistols.
