    Just traded for a S&W Model 19

    I dont think you hurt yourself in that trade... a very nice snub 19 brings close to $550 across the counter around here... they make Kahrs everyday.

    Trying hard to keep up... How about lots of holes above the belt line?

    what is the best technique for under 5-yards?

    Most every good theory of draw stroke give a chance of firing from retention... usually with the gun near the pectoral muscle on the chest... If your closing less than five yards you missed something... I'd be thinking about lateral movement off the line of attack in that case. Distance...

    CCW gun too accurate?

    If your not moving in a defensive encounter you need to be reloading, communicating and moving some more. I shoot IDPA too... and have to remind myself the "cardboard" is not trying to not get shot. My defensive guns hardly ever get shot in any "classic" or methodical style other than a...

    J-frame and laser grip carry, experiences?

    lasers Lasers have dubious benefits at best. For a tactical operator (offensive shooter) that red dot may be a great asset during low light. In defensive or reactive shooting... it just gives the brain something else to chew on while it's trying to control the trigger finger. Learn to use...

    Anyone arm themselves at Home?

    Pretty much... I live at least 20 minutes away from a police response if we called. the gun goes on when I leave...goes to the nite stand when I retire..... Plus... I live far enough out that coyotes and foxes are a actual problem with the small live stock.... so ... quick access to a loaded...

    First CCW- A Dry Run

    IWB works... but your body, gun and holster all have to be in harmony. 5-10, 200 lb and tote a steel, 5 inch 1911 in a OLD Bianchi Pistol pocket every day. I carry a SW 39 series gun (shorter and lighter) in a IWB belt slide. It bites my hip- Go figure? But stock holsters for a 39-2 are...

    Will ammo return to lower prices?

    I have actually seen some ammo marked down in Central Oklahoma in October. Using Wal mart as a barometer... we have stock on the shelf... and a selection of bullet weights, brands, etc. One of our local pawn and guns has .223 and 7.6 x 39 in case lots and there seems to be a bit of Mil surp...

    Ever listen in on other people's gun conversations?

    I have to add... sometimes gun salesmen are the best stand up comics in the world or the least qualified people in the room. I was in one of our biggest gun showrooms in the state the other day. Got to witness a well intentioned sales man trying to sell an IWB for a PPK to a customer... the...

    Don't you think Open Carry is safer than CC?

    "Sounds a lot like something Elmer Keith said about his home town in Idaho when commenting on a mass shooting at a MacDonalds. Now, if concealed carry were widely known to be very prevalent in a particular town, that would serve as a deterrent, too. " If you get everyone to stand still for...

    Don't you think Open Carry is safer than CC?

    If open carry is a "shoot me" sign why do so many pawn brokers and gun dealers carry openly at work (were it's legal to do so)? Over 30 states have provisions for some sort of open carry. I suspect 2 things... in places were it's not prudent (metro areas) most folks just don't do it.. and in...

    Lets talk holster wear

    I was at a training session once that had a segment on gun retention. The instructor replaced his Glock with a blue gun for his demo. Of course he needed to make room for the blue gun. Solution? He cleared the Glock... then slid it across the floor, with his foot, to get it away from the...

    NRA member? Show your self

    Annual Member.... the NRA seems to win a lot of little small court cases........ and that's what makes the big ones go the right way later on. I don't drink the Kool Aid though. The NRA needs some leadership shakeups and on a couple of stances--- ***T or go blind, already. But they are the...

    the 38 special

    I wont be trading in my 38's anytime soon. OK has a CCW stipulation similar to Texas...you can shoot your CCW class with a Revolver, deringer, or Semi auto... if you shoot the class with a Semi Auto they endorse you for all 3 classes of gun

    Dove Hunting

    0-6 ... but I hunt 500 yards from the house. Probably would have done better this afternoon... but the 9 year old got board and chatty about the time the birds should have come in to water. Dove were passing my blind a bit higher than usually ... a little spooked

    Best Caliber That Never Took-off

    25-35 Winchester... it's metric twin was sort popular in Europe. Loaded with spire pointed projectile (bolt or box mag fed rifle) it it a very good mid sized game round. I tend to agree --- 38 Super should have outclassed-outsold the 9 MM Luger for years. If Glock or SA would build a...

    Mini 14 vs. AK-47

    Owned and operated all 3. I must be lucky.... the MINI 14 goes afeild before the AR does. I'd rather use it for a truck gun... it shoulders nice and a factory 5 round keeps coyotes busy enough. If I want to shoot tiny paper spots... the AR is okie dokie. I'd probably tote it against bad...
