Add a set of better sights and I agree. --tdow

Eagle Industries sells (or at least used to) a chest harness. It's called something like "universal special forces holster" or something like that. I would get a Glock or something similar to pack in it. I think that a windbreaker would adequately conceal it. --tdow

Yes. Many businesses located close to the Oregon border will ask if you are an Oregon resident ahead of time so that they can process the transaction more efficiently. --tdow

As great as the liklihood that they will all run like hell before a reload is necessary, the chance that they will not flee is still there. You cannot assume anything. What you can do is practice for the worst case scenario. --tdow

One of the nice things about the 1911 is its modularity. Most of us like to personalize our 1911s. Having several different options for the grip safety is part of this. It's a way to get the gun to fit the hand just a little bit better. --tdow

I went into the factory to check them out once. The sales rep I spoke to was a snotty, opinionated kid who wasn't really interested in answering my questions as much as he wanted to dispense his opinions. I'm not surprised at your experience. --tdow

In states where the firing squad is still a legal form of capital punishment, what kind of rifles do they use? --tdow

Between the Kimber and the Dan Wesson, I would choose the Dan Wesson. From what I've heard so far, they are producing a good pistol, and Kimber seems to have been questionable lately as far as the quality of their internal parts and the reliability of their firing pin safety. If you choose...

Sean, Why do you prefer the variable spring? It seems like the standard would give more resistance to the unlocking of the pistol. Since the square firing pin stop and the mainspring will also be exerting more resistance during this phase of the pistol's operation, wouldn't you want more...

For close range, I would suggest some form of jujutsu. Most varieties should have a pretty complete battery of techniques-- punching, kicking, locks, grappling, etc., but the focus will be on close in techniques and fighting on the ground. If you're interested in self-defense rather than a...

At my school, there are no guns allowed anywhere on campus (even dorms or cars) unless they are going to or leaving from the lock box at the police station. Is there any good reason for this? --tdow

Could carrying my wife's gun get me into any trouble, say if I got pulled over and the officer checked the SN, or if I had to use the weapon in a self-defense scenario? --tdow

Colt 1911/1911A1--simple, elegant...beautiful. Hard to say whether it looks nicer than a BHP, but everything else, (except maybe a SAA) is UGLY in comparison. --tdow

Do the hotter commercial loads necessitate a ramped barrel? --tdow

Skunk, I think you need to forget all this new-fangled beavertailed, low mount sighted, forward cocking serrated so-called "tactical" doo dads, and get yourself some old school firepower. How 'bout a nice, blued Colt Government Model! Just my .02. --tdow

230 grain FMJ. Inexpensive, reliable, and should do its part if I do mine. --tdow

My wife's Hi-Power has been absolutely reliable regardless of what it has been fed. --tdow

Drugs and guns don't mix well.

labgrade, Even if I didn't have to take the polygraph, they would still have ways of potentially finding things out. I wouldn't expect anyone that I have known to lie for me. --tdow

My experience with Springfield M1A's has been excellent. I got lucky with a new loaded model in January. The op rod, trigger group are H&R forged GI parts. The op rod spring guide is a TRW part. The bolt is a repro, but the new ones are forged. The QC may not be good, but learn about the...
