I think that a basic AR is pretty reasonable. A Stag complete lower is $260.00 retail. A Stag complete flat top upper is $465.00. Total for the lower and upper is $725.00 plus $20.00 shipping less sights/optics. A Model 1 might be even cheaper. You can also look for parts and build you an...

The barrels were Storm Lake, THBOMK. Caspian has them for sale for $75.00.

I seem to shoot better with my 1911s. They are heavier and larger than some of my other pistols. They shoot bigger bullets, albeit slower bullets, with less recoil. Follow-up shots are easier. The trigger pull is smooth. They are more expensive than my other pistols. I seem to find a need...

After break-in, Les Baer.

I usually carry my PM9 as a BUG. I both practice with and carry Golden Sabers. When I first got the PM9, I was concerned because it was a little difficult to chamber the first round by pulling and releasing the slide, but it was not having any trouble feeding when firing. I assumed that after...

If you really want a pistol with a light rail, I would recommend a Rock River Tactical http://www.rockriverarms.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=PS2750&storeid=1&image=ptp.gif or a Wilson CQB tactical light rail http://www.wilsoncombat.com/p_cqb_tlr.asp If an integral light rail is not a...

Sorry, hit the submit button twice or did something else and posted twice. :(

I prefer the Alessi Roughout pocket holster: http://www.rfholsters.com/rfholster...f%5Fid=AH%2DRPH It is more easily concealed than the Sparks. Additionally, I have heard that Pocket Concealment Systems makes some excellent pocket holsters...

I have a Wilson CQB Compact with a 4.1 inch barrel and a Colt Combat Commander with a 4.25 inch barrel, and both have performed flawlessly. I also have a full-size Colt Government model and a full-size Baer Police Special, which have performed equally as well. However, I would not purchase nor...

40S&W is, without doubt, IMO, the obvious choice of these calibers, unless the pistol choices were limited to a pocket gun like a Kahr PM9 or PM40, then I would choose the PM9 and load with 9mm+P. For target/practice purposes, 9mm is fine. For target purposes, .22 is fine. But for a...

The first gun that I ever shot was a .410 (I believe) shotgun at a YMCA camp over 40 years ago. We weren't given any eye or hearing protection. I shot guns for years after that with inadequate hearing protection, and I certainly have hearing loss (not the selective type, as my wife says, but...

.45ACP primary plus 9mm BUG

As price is not an issue, I would without doubt chose a full house custom pistol built on the 1911 platform from Ted Yost, John Harrison, or another top gunsmith. I have two custom-built pistols, and both are completely reliable and deadly accurate. While I own other pistols, I find that 1911s...

I had a 340PD and sold it to purchase a PM9. I shoot the PM9 better. The PM9 holds an extra round, and 9mm might be a better round than .38spl. ThePM9 and the 642 weigh the same. The PM9 is twice the price. I would like to get another J frame (642) someday, but I believe that the PM9 is better...

Sold my 340PD and kept the Kahr PM9. The Kahr shoots better for me, is only two ounces heavier than the Scandium J-frame, carries six or seven rounds rather than five rounds, reloads quicker, and 9mm +P is more potent ammunition than .38 spl +P. While .357 magnum is more powerful than 9mm, the...

Rabbi: I have four 1911s that have been hard-chromed, and they seem highly resistive if not impervious to holster wear. Additionally, hard-chrome seems to resist scratching better than stainless steel, and I have even had two stainless pistols hard-chromed. However, while they are...

Rick: My thoughts are with you and your family. Your story gave me pause to remind myself how blessed I am to have a wondeful wife and three beautiful children. I wish your wife a speedy recovery and you and your family the best success during this time.

My PM9 also rides in my front pocket. I use it primarily as a BUG. As a pocket gun, it has a specific function, and it has performed very well. It was expensive, but I am worth it (and besides, it is my money). If there is a smaller, lighter, more concealable, better quality 9mm (or larger...

Ken: Beautiful pistols. No doubt that Brown produces excellent products, and I use their parts whenever possible. Too bad for me that Brown pistols are not sold in Massachusetts. (Yes, I would move if I could.)

You probably would not need to swap the barrel to install a flash hider, unless you just do not like the barrel. Both Bushmaster and Evolution Gun Works provide this service at a reasonable price, and I believe that other shops will also remove a pinned muzzle brake, thread the barrel, and...
