Very interesting topic for this thread. Personally I think my two guns that I just can't complain about are my Sig P226 and my AR rifle. However, I have made many modifications to each to make certain that they are exactly what I wanted them to be, and I take the time to ensure they get the...

That's great man. I love it when my Wife just gets me like that. Sounds like you got a keeper.

Only once. Outside of a retailer I was approached by a man who appeared to be a asking for some cash. However, he was not willing to accept my answer (which was the truth; I don't carry cash). He was following me to my car and finally when I turned to face him he began to approach in a much more...

To the majority of people who work everyday within the "Firearms Community" there are differences. Crazy did a decent job of hitting on it earlier. The people who make a profession within the "Firearms Community" tend to be a little more specific with our language for the simple matter of easier...

alsaqr kind of hit on the point again though of different states laws. It is just SO vital that you know what the law says in areas you live, work, and play. A good example would be home invasion situations. In Texas, for example, if there is someone on your property that is uninvited and pose a...

Thanks again to you all, I've had some great responses from the interested parties. Sometimes you can say things until you're blue in the face but until it is heard from an outside source it might not be taken into true consideration. MikeNice and Ranger30-06 a special thank you from me to...

Screw him. If he wanted the business he should have offered to provide it. I am more inclined to return to a store that didn't have what I was looking for, but told me where I could get it, then one that acted as you described.

As a Range Master myself I am in full agreement that the second something becomes unsafe it is time for a "Seize Fire" I've called them for a lot less than that. If I didn't wish to do it myself then I would have brought it up to the RSO. I am prior military myself, and even though there is a...

For me it's more about the platform I'm using to fire it more than the round itself. Once I get down to Sub-Compact level I tend to think that the .380 has a little of an edge with most models in that caliber being a little easier to conceal. However, if I'm using the weapon as a duty pistol, or...

Some great feedback everyone thank you so much. So let me pose one more question along this same line now. Assuming you have a novice, say of average to small size, looking to purchase a self-defense carry weapon (not necessarily just home defense, but actual constant wear) would you start...

Certainly not in dispute. Let me try to clarify my goal in a different way. Have the advances in the 9mm round now bridged enough of a gap in the initial short comings of the design to now warrant its use over the .45 and .40, which even though they too have made advances in creating wounds...

With the advances made in the last six years or so of some of the 9mm rounds available I feel that there is a very real re-birth of the debate of what round to carry for a standard side arm. I'd like to focus this thread to the 9mm. With the new advances in many of the heavier compositions...

You've got some good choices. I can tell you what I prefer but your own shooting style should dictate what you choose. Personally I'm more of a "feel" type shooter than a technical one. If the gun fits right and feels right then I lean towards it over other models that might be "technically"...

rc you beat me by like 30 seconds. LOL, doesn't do any good to post the same things back to back... What RC said.

When I was active army we did a shooting upside down from a rope drill (Ausie repel; or however you spell that version) was a lot of fun. Did pretty well at it I put down 3 pop-up steels (silhouette style) at ranges from 15 to 30 meters. Was shooting the good old Beretta M9.

I've become a very good fan of the Hornady Critical Defense. I carry it in either 9mm or .380 ACP depending on the weapon I'm carrying. I chose this ammunition because it has never caused a jam or feeding problem and to date I've had a 100% successful rating of it always firing as well as it...

Interesting way this thread approaches this question. I can say that there are some people with very good natural instincts who just seem to pick up the finer points of shooting quicker than others. However, training helps all. In my experience with Instructing I actually prefer to have a...

Best advice. You'll find that it would be easier to sell what's going to sell and identify the things people really aren't looking for. Plus you'll get the fair values that way. Most people only buy whole package deals like that when they know it's a great saver to them, and often get rid of an...

Glock 19 usually, but I have a buddy that swears by his full size XDM 9mm carried in his Small of Back. i thought it would have been a little thick framed for a CCW but he wears it just fine. You have to remember that different body types can hide different guns so this would really be more...

I'd say most of the .380 type handguns should fall into this category. Don't just straight to that though. My Wife, even though I gave her the whole speech, jumped straight at a Walther PPK and soon found that she had a difficult time charging the slide for her loads and had some difficulty with...
