I hope this is the right place for this question, so here goes. I've got a Kimber CDP Compact (Series I, not that I think it makes much difference) and through using a couple different Blade-Tech Kydex holsters for CCW for the last five years I've gotten some finish wear on it, mostly on the...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not, so if not, feel free to move it Mods. I used to have a special edition magazine put out by Shooting Times that was 100% Skeeter Skelton... articles and fiction. It had a bunch of the "Dobe Grant" fiction and IIRC, some of the "Me &...

I've been searching old threads to find out what S&W Model number I'm looking for. There's a particular revolver I've been keeping my out for at all the local gunshops but no luck finding one. I THOUGHT I knew the model number but now I'm not so sure. Here are the specs: Blue Finish 3"...

I just heard an NPR story on the AWB. Tom Diaz from the VPC was quoted as saying that he feels there would be NO change in crime if the AWB expires in September!:what: I thought the whole thing was pretty fair and even-handed until the last little bit of it when they talked about "1/2 a ban...

(Moderators: if this should be in General instead of L&P, please move it. Thanks.) A question asked in another thread, so far as I know, never was answered. It raised another question in my mind. So here they are. In the Dayton area highway shootings, of which there's been what... 23 or...

I had the opportunity to attend a New Year's Eve affair with a small group of people, only a few of which I knew beforehand. My wife is Turkish, and we were invited to an Armenian friend's house for the evening. Another Turkish couple we know attended, but there were six to eight other...

Does anyone know much about Bates boots, specifically the Enforcer series with side zipper? I'm interested in getting some, ahem, "tactical" boots, but realistically I won't be wearing them much and thus would like to avoid spending beaucomp bucks. Local Meijer store has these for about...

I'm interested in getting a radio for general use as well as having it for possible SHTF scenarios. I've always kinda liked the idea of having a multi-band (as in AM, FM, and short wave) but I know little or nothing about SW. Likewise, I'd ideally like one that is battery / solar / hand...

I just received my new IWB holster from B-T and a new paddle for my old Paddle holster I've had for a couple years. I bought the IWB with two sets of J-hooks (1 each for 1.5" and 1.25" belts) and one set of straps. I sprung the extra money and got it in the carbon fiber pattern. Beautiful...

After reading "Point of Impact" (based on THR recommendations, I might add), I have a question about ballistics as mentioned in the book. Specifically, it was stated by the author several times that when shooting uphill or downhill you had to hold over due to the effects of gravity. This...

Got some questions about a couple things read in the exceprts from Enemies Foreign and Domestic website ( http://matthewbracken.web.aplus.net ). Not questioning the use in the story, just are they fictional plot devices to enhance the plot or real. Cellphones: 1. Brad states that...

I was cruising in to work the other day thinking about taking off and putting back on my CCW holsters. Snaps, hooks, paddles, etc., I got 'em all. All of a sudden it hit me. Velcro! Why not have a strip of the soft (loop) side on the inside waistband of your pants and a square / strip of...

My current CCW is a Kimber Compact CDP and I love it. But up until I bought this in '01, I've always been a revolver man for serious work. S&W Model 14, K-38 Masterpiece. S&W Model 19, 4". S&W Model 28 4", Armalloy finish, trigger job, Hogue Monogrips. S&W Model 686, 4", Hogue...

The wife and I are considering a change in location. We are having little luck in finding jobs that would allow us to pursue our seperate careers in the same areas. So... since we both would like warmer weather we are talking about going South from our current location (extreme North Central...

I see that Michigan's CCW regulations have been amended and that as of July '03, it will become legal to CCW while in establishments that derive less than 51% of their income from alcohol. I live in Indiana, hold an Indiana License to Carry Handgun (LCH), and work in Michigan. Up until...

Is it just me, or am I seeing / hearing more and more people who call our nation "America" as opposed to "The United States of America" or "The United States"? This is a pet peeve of mine. I know, no big deal, really, but it just bugs me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I was...

In the same vein as the thread on Massad Ayoob, who here reads / read Skeeter Skelton? For sheer enjoyment, I have yet to find any gun writer that I think is as good. There's a lot that I like, but Skeeter could go anywhere from dead serious to comedy and handle them both with aplomb. A...

I've been looking at, drooling over, and wanting to buy a damascus blade knife for years. So now I'm in the "serious" stage of looking for one. I am thinking in terms of a "tactical" style lockblade folder - up to 3.5" blade length. Locking mechanism not important so long as it is a tried...

If so, how? I did, once. Long time ago, I had a very good friend fresh from graduatin' college. Big city edge-u-cashun and all, ya know? Wahll, I wuz jes a farm boy livin' out in the wilds, an he wuz this townie kid. (Sorry. Slipped into my down home side there fer a minute!) To make...

There has been numerous mentions on lots of gun boards that you need to act natural when you're carrying (sniff ... TFL, we'll miss ya! sniff) I had the chance to see that it actually works (I think). I had a horribly embarrassing situation happen yesterday, but it maybe by bringin it up...
