    A2 vs A3 vs A4?

    Zombie thread About the Flip sights I don't know ANYTHING but happen to be reading the Army manual from 1985 As an aside, there LOTS of spelling errors in these :) They list two different sights "Standard Daylight Sighting System" and "Low Light Level Sighting System" The Standard Daylight...

    ccw, tiny autos versus snubnose revolvers?

    As has been said... Round Count Thinner Profile Often...lower weight as well. My 'lightweight' was a Keltec P32 with extended Mag so it was 10+1 and gave a nice full grip. My heavier-but-still-compact was a Keltec P11 I have since traded them away and got a Glock 26. Heavier, thicker than the...

    Any non reloaders struggling to put .45acp down range?

    What State do you live in? My Walmarts (in TN) have Federal FMJ for $16-17$ a box. Winchester White Box FMJ for $32 for 100 rd Box Remington JHP for $38 100 rd Box Walmart .45 runs at least $5 cheaper than any other stores I have seen. Of course reloading would be cheaper.....someday maybe. In...

    Is the Little Bird really better than an Izula???

    The longer handle of the Izula II makes it much more useable for me (of course the scales do too). Ive been meaning to carry it itch out the scales to try it out to see how I like the slimmer profile. Nice to have the option

    OC has it's faults including being snatched and shot with your own gun

    Rifleman has it right. Sounds like he either hadn't drawn or he did draw and didn't keep his distance. That said.... It as recently in a Grocery store and a guy in front of me was shopping OC with the gun carried at 6:00 with no cover/retention. He wS bending over in the Produce...

    Knife-Noob Needs an EDC

    I flipped the Clip and the knife is in my pocket Blade side forward Tip up. If you grab the Finger ring and Draw Forward the blade opens on the way out and you are in Extended grip for the cut. Retention is excellent with the Finger Hole. After that you are basically "Boxing" with the Edge...

    Knife-Noob Needs an EDC

    If you want a quick deploy defense folder, try to get a hold of a Wave Opener knife. There are a few. I have the Emerson Karambit. Draw/open and cut in one motion. I'm sure they will be outlawed eventually...too good. The Karambit isn't for everyone but I am trained with it. Love it

    Knife-Noob Needs an EDC

    I think Neck knives are a nuisance unless they are REALLY light and small. I have a Hideaway knife with a few different Sheath options an also be worn on a belt, clipped to clothing. The finger holes make the short handle not a problem. Don't play Football while wearing a neck knife!

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    So after adjusting the Extractor on my 1911 I went to Walmart and bought 200 rounds of Remington UMC JHP (cheap). I shot all of it except for 17 rounds (to fill up my carry mags+1) Worked flawlessly in both mags. I know these aren't great JHP....But I'm not buying 200 rounds of Golden Saber (my...

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    My mind isn't "changed". My 1911 is ACCURATE and 100% reliable with FMJ. As soon as I can confirm reliability with JHP I'll switch. I just bought 100 rounds of cheap JHP to test out. The NEXT question is "do you need fancy self defense ammo or is run of the mill JHP adequate"

    used P11 - deal or no deal $375?

    Well.... I would spend the money on Ammo or maybe a Reloading rig. I sold my Keltecs when I started working on my Glock technique. They don't suit each other well. ( not for me anyway)

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    Ummm....if your Kimber was already 100% then you didn't need a Gunsmith. This Gunsmith hasn't worked on my 1911 yet. It went in for free warranty service. The issue with mine was that it wouldn't feed the FIRST Round and sometimes the second or third. A half empty mag it would feed anything...

    used P11 - deal or no deal $375?

    Not a "deal" but not a ripoff either. Armalaser is $100

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    JHP were not 100% in my 1911. After repair it was 99% I have since tweaked the Extractor more but haven't cared enough to burn through JHP to check it. I don't think many of you have ever owned a 1911. They have to be set up. My Glocks will eat anything you put in them.

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    1911's not feeding JHP reliably is EXTREMELY common. My Gunsmith (a 1911 guy) told me that he regularly has to set up high end 1911's right out of the box to get the extractor and feed ramp working. I have a low end 1911 American Classic GI that had to be shot a lot for break in and had to be...

    Is the Little Bird really better than an Izula???

    The Izula II is excellent and gives you the option of Micarta scales.

    Dude carrying a gun in public in VA has an AD that ends in his own death

    Tell you what...I tried Appendix carry. ONCE. I was using a good holster and everything but it was aiming RIGHT at my Femoral Artery. You wouldn't wear a "Hat Holster" that pointed the gun at your Temple would you? When I read this article I immediately thought 'Glock 27 Mexican carry'

    stovepipes in my 1911?

    In my (limited) experience too HEAVY recoil spring or TOO LOOSE Extractor causes Stovepipes. At least test your extractor tension
