    Ankle Holster

    Here's an Uncle Mike's brand which I really like: https://www.unclemikes.com/holsters/alternative-carry/ankle-holster/P00837.html Although the price is low, this is my "GO-TO" holster due to fit and comfort. I'm not specifically recommending ankle-carry for any particular person or the original...

    Glock 19 with red dot sight questions

    I bought the G19gen5MOS (~$490 Blue Label pricing) and a Holosun SCS (~$350). I figured I saved by not buying an adapter plate (~$77) and taller suppressor-height sights ($35-$115). I did buy a torque driver, however, (~$100, but there less expensive drivers) which I also used on some other...

    637 vs LCR

    When carrying a revolver, among a few other revolvers, I'll grab either my LCRX (in .327) or or two of a few J-frames. I don't actually have a Mod. 637, but do have the similar 640, 60, 642, and 638; i.e., they're both good. It is a decision as to what to carry, but somehow I make that decision...

    did longmire get it wrong

    Here are my feelings/perceptions (right/wrong) regarding Walt Longmire. I haven't read any of the Longmire novels. I've only watched the tv series which probably deviate from the books to some extent. Apparently, Walt Longmire's LE career dates back to 1972, after serving with the USMC in...

    Colt MK VI 70 Series Dented Cases

    Not relevant to the OP's problem, but what is a Mark VI (6)? I remember there being a Mark IV (4), but never quite understood the numbering as I don't remember being any Marks I, II, or III before the Mark IV (4). I've had several 1911s, but never had the older-school small ejection port. But...

    Just venting a little bit and man I am not a fan of Lena Miculeck right now lol…ugh

    Post 3, The gun and accessories look great to me, but I've no interest in it otherwise. I understand saving the $250 on a regular/plain P365 and I'd probably feel better with the savings if it was for me. My wife has no interest in guns but does find other things & places to spend her money. I...

    What type of Ammo for a EDC SW EZ 380

    Note, I've no personal experience with the .380 round. I can't even remember ever firing the round through anyone else's handgun over the years as I don't own and never owned a handgun in the .380 caliber. Here's a ~12 year old thread from another forum which discusses the .380 (and .38Special)...

    Do you WC-?

    There are pros and cons to using wadcutter ammo in a revolver. Here's some ballistic testing on .38Special ammo: https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/revolver-ballistics-test/ The testing is from LuckyGunner.com and there are other calibers tested if more research is desired. There are limitations...

    Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

    I've read good and bad things with folks' Taurus revolvers. I ended up buying a Ruger LCRX in .327 instead of the Taurus .327. I'm also on a waiting list for an S&W 432UC, but don't know if or when one will ever be received between Lipsey's and my selected FFL, so I ordered and received the LCRX...

    A300 vs 1301

    https://www.brownells.com/gear/slings-sling-swivels/sling-swivels-mounts/qd-sling-cup/ I'd just get a QD socket or two; some flathead self-tapping-wood-screws, and screw those sockets onto the stock anywhere you'd want them (bottom, left-side, right-side). The socket kit seem to come with...

    These cartridges would not fire.

    Post 1, There are various options to do or try. -Try, yet, even more brands/models of .38 Special ammo; -Send the 442-2 back to S&W; -try some of your own gunsmithing/armorer work, which would, if you're handy, consist of merely replacing the firing pin with one slightly extended; here's one...

    I realized today… I just can’t shoot GP’s very well.

    For whatever reason, I couldn't shoot my GP100 to my liking either. It was a 4" version in 2008. Whether it was me, the gun, or the ammo, I don't know, but I could barely keep hits on the target at 15 yards. My only Ruger right now is a 2" .327 LCR and shoots fine for me. All my .38/.357...

    D&L Sports vs Cylinder & Slide

    Post 1, I've zero experience with using either of these two companies for anything, although I've heard of both of them over the decades I've probably been on these gun forums. I noticed Cylinder-Slide states they're backed up ~18 months, if that's of concern; whereas I couldn't find anything...

    Low recoil slugs - can somebody explain the difference?

    I agree Federal using "LE127RS" for both slug product models was a bad idea. I'll need to double-check which ones I've bought as once the ammo is out of the box, it's dfficult/impossible for me to tell. With the hulls the same color, I don't remember there being anything significant printed on...

    Springfield -1911 Professional Operator Custom Shop?

    Here are a couple of pictures of mine (same gun, I've only one of this model, just different grips in photos). Apparently, there are MIM parts within these builds, but that's not much concern to me. I somehow dented the grip safety (whether throwing the gun into a range bag or stuff on top of...

    New Nighthawk Thunder Ranch

    Wow, I just looked at the NighthawkCustom.com website to see what the prices are on a Thunder Ranch Combat Special and the other poster's T3. Yes, the used T3 was a great deal. I suppose my relatively fixed retirement income hasn't kept up with what new Nighthawk 1911s now go for. I'm glad I...

    Aftermarket Optics Cut Slide for Glock 32

    If the OP isn't even sure an MRDS is really wanted, try a bolt-on dovetail rear mount mount first or only ~$20. The OP will still need to buy or borrow an MRDS but it's a lot less than cutting up a good slide without wanting to immediately commit to the optic...

    Durability of Commander vs LW Commander

    Post 1, While it isn't particularly a "crap shoot", I think it'll just depend on the general luck. I had one steel-framed .45ACP Colt Commander, bought new, which was warranty-returned and replaced by Colt after ~7 months due to its frame beginning to crack. I couldn't find any detailed notes...

    Shotgun ammo for home defense

    I was issued and used some variety of 00buck and 1 ounce rifled slugs, all in 2 3/4". The brands I was issued was either Winchester (red hull) or Remington (green hull). Now retired from LE, I heard my department has gone to the Federal 00buck using the FliteControl wad. Before retiring, I'd...

    Identification of Mossberg-marked sight mount (?)
