    A question for LE about approved sidearms

    In Indiana, our State academy will give you that information, as will most agencies. It's not a confidential issue as I see it, but you'll find most agencies using Glock or Sig Sauer. You can pose that question on officer.com under the forum section for your state, and they'll be happy to supply...

    Walther vs Bersa

    For quite a while now I've been looking at the .380 Walther for my wife, the smaller caliber plus the steel frame would be a good combination for her, but I'm wondering if the Bersa Thunderer would be a viable option? Many people equate Charter Arms or Taurus to Smith & Wesson, but the...

    A friendly incident with the police.

    Do they realize the vehicle they want it secured in is deadlier than the weapon itself? :) LD

    S&W needs a Bulldog

    I couldn't agree more, I carried a Bulldog off duty for years, and for a pocket gun I'd much prefer a .44 Spl over a .380/9mm any day! LD

    A friendly incident with the police.

    I've been on both sides of that coin, being a retired Officer. All the claims of "educating the ignorant" are all well and good, but you must understand that when an Officer receives a complaint, they must investigate it, and contrary to popular belief the Officer doesn't know that you're a...

    Is 44 special a good carry gun?

    Elmer Keith sure thought so! He felt the 250 grain bullet at about 950 fps would adequately do the job. LD

    I really want to carry revolver but.....

    I agree, I sense a high degree of melodrama and/or pure BS.;) LD

    I really want to carry revolver but.....

    I must agree with the moderator, you seem to have your choice made already. If you are a U.S. citizen abroad and are in that much danger, the proper authorities should be notified, and if you're there in an official capacity with enforcement powers then your choices are already made for you by...

    First muzzleloader questions

    I bought a .54 caliber Hawken a few months back, so we're in the same shoes. Your list looks pretty complete and almost identical to mine, but if your rifle will shoot conical's, Hornaday makes a 435 grain one that's pretty accurate at longer distances. I did eventually find some Goex locally...

    Apparently Carrying a "Non-Gun" In Texas WILL Get You Arrested!!

    Perhaps we could pursue an intelligent way to rally change of state laws, since we have decades of failure to look upon from the college crowd and their sit in protests. Nothing, I repeat nothing was changed by their activity, and the continual arrests of these men only harms our public opinion...

    Apparently Carrying a "Non-Gun" In Texas WILL Get You Arrested!!

    I can't speak for your state, but here in Indiana the officer detains the person with a "custodial arrest" and files a Probable Cause Affidavit, then the County Prosecutor decides on filing the charge or not. People are frequently released either for a lack of evidence or a lack of spine on the...

    anyone here had any luck with the hornady LE out of a ruger bisley .45LC?

    If you've read my posts over time, you might get the impression that I don't like Hornaday products........and you would be correct. :D At one point my Henry rifle, 1911, J Frame, and Vaquero's were all loaded with their Leverevolution/XTP's and they were decent rounds, not much recoil...

    Are Big Bore Revolvers the Answer to the Crunch?

    Without a doubt. My duty weapon was a S&W 25 in .45 Colt, and my off duty daily carry was a Charter Bulldog in .44 spl. My woods gun has/is/always will be a Vaquero in .45 Colt. My rifle is a Hawken in .54 caliber, with a 450 grain LRN!:cool: LD

    Leverevolution .357 and flattened primers

    In my experience, no. I tried numerous Hornaday calibers from the Critical Defense to the Leverevolution, both in .45 Colt/.45 acp, and they were light and under powered. The published 950 fps for the Leverevolution was usually under 900 fps. The only use I have for their rounds are in feeding...
