    Steve, that's a nice set you have there. Stay in touch and let me know how the holster works for you. As always, I'm all ears :) - Monica

    Concealed carry class: interesting observations

    the OPs obeservaation trends were similar to my CCW class experiemce as well. Don't underestimate, but don't overcompensate. People shoot what they have available. And it isn't always the most high-tech, latest edition off the line materials. I too with my "measly" .380 had the fastest...

    Slide swapping

    Well, sure if you just slide it on. Why do you ask?

    What substitute hobbies while living in anti-gun countries?

    Pardon me. I never read you were going to be in Kyrgystan for sure. In that case, a sling shot :D We'll also be skiing and fourwheeling (what we did here in the States). Again, not too sure what else until we do get here and see what's available locally/regionally.

    What substitute hobbies while living in anti-gun countries?

    My husband and I aer currently asking the same question. We're PCSing to Japan as we speak. We're going to look into Airsoft to fill the shooting niche. As for the rest of the new opportunities we'll have, we're flying by the seat of our pants. If an interesting thing arises, we'll try it...

    Colt 1911 Officers MK IV - 45acp - HOW MUCH?

    I've seen the Oacps from around $525-$700(+). A place to check out is gunbroker.com That might get you a general ballpark on price-to-condition/model. Personally I wouldn't spend over $600. <5.5 is more like my range. I'm also not afraid to pick up a "well used" gun either so long as the...

    Buying a gun for your wife?

    Good post Pax. I've gotten to the point now where I roll my eyes now when I see a "What gun for my wife/GF/female?" on any board. I use to reply, but that got old :o Nice follow on why the husband/BF should not be the teacher. There is a tension there and its just easier and I think more...

    Suggested Weapon for Petite Women

    I'm a small petite woman, I carry a Beretta 86. Over 1200rds through it without much hiccup other than not liking WWB and flat nosed roounds. That was cured with a ramp polish. It is accurate and easy to use. Anyhow, my 86 doesn't seem to mind it is out of production, it still shoots the...

    Learned the hard way about letting others borrow your guns.

    You can't take any firearms to Japan other than a shotgun. And we won't use it, much to much paperwork anyway to have it live with the armorer on base, and hardly shoot it. Anyhow, Dad knows guns. We'll take him out to shoot our pistols over the holidays so he can get a feel working them...

    Learned the hard way about letting others borrow your guns.

    Well, that's not anything I want to hear now. We're headed overseas in a couple months for PCS and no guns allowed. So, we're leaving our collection with Dad.

    Instead of blazing through, you had to slow down and concentrate more.

    Tip-up barrels in Autos

    I have an 86. Its cake for me to use (one hand and all), and its my carry. It shoots well, both FMJs and JHPs. I have put about 1300rds in it this past year. I wouldn't worry about cases ejecting. Mine will put them halfway down the firing line :o My husband is sure to stand back from...

    Are firearms your #1 hobby/activity?

    They are now. I use to 4wheel and work on my truck a lot. I have since stopped modifying my truck due to hitting the point where modifying it more wouldn't be worth the work and cost - I'm going overseas so I'll be selling the truck, and what I'd be upgrading my truck with is what I'd be...

    Egregious gun handling. These bozos perpetuate the gun owner stereotype.

    Actually, as stupid as that was (self inflicting crotch pain), I was somewhat surprised there was attention to where that shotgun was pointing, how it was being handled (ignore the fact it wasn't shouldered, but "crotched", and if it were shouldered, it would have still been pointing in the same...

    What Gun for LLAMAS!

    I think the protection you're looking for is called a "cup"
