    Found my perfect IWB holster for G26... by accident.

    I've tried to IWB my G26 ever since I got it, but it never quite worked out. The KingTuk was very comfortable for the first hour or so - given that I found the right spot - but would start to get sore after a while, and adjusting it on the go was a PITA because of its two clips and widht. Remora...

    How did I do ?

    I wish I had a photo to include with this, but I left my phone in the car going to the range. Today, at the end of my range session, when I was finished with my plinking rounds, loaded my carry rounds, and was about to leave, I decided to try a more realistic type of shooting where I'd pull the...

    LCP vs P3AT question

    So, as I understand, LCP is basically a rebranded and very slightly redesigned P3AT (correct me if I am wrong). They even have the same stupid takedown pin. So, why is Ruger, which to me looks like the same design filling the same exact niche at about the same price point and coming to market a...

    My advice to people just getting into carry

    It took me a good few years between getting my license and actually carrying daily. The problem ? I was constantly torn between being uncomfortable or printing too much (or believing that I was). I believe that’s the problem a lot of people are facing... more than care to admit. Here’s what I...

    9mm LCR - are loose bullet issues real and any reliable brands

    I found my true EDC in LCP. However, I also really want a pocketable revolver, for a number of reasons. Seems like a 9mm LCR would be a perfect one for me - more powerful than .38 SP, same caliber as my Glocks, the most common and easy to find round. However, there’s been reports of people...

    Hollywood screwed up people’s idea of what SHTF looks like...

    Just a rant, after listening to yet another former military buddy who is preparing for what he thinks may happen in a SHTF scenario... It will not look like The Walking Dead. It will not look like Escape from New York, or a dozen other Hollywood idiocies. It is all around us today, and it was...

    Remora micro: Yay or nay ?

    I love the Sticky holster for my LCP when pocket carrying, but just that past weekend I had a "wardrobe malfunction" while it was IWB... while walking around downtown I accidentally bumped into a guardrail and the impact pushed the holster far enough upwards that it got dislodged. Luckily, it...

    Would you trade if you were in my place ?

    A friend of mine started pestering me to trade my G17 Gen 3 for his G26 Gen 3. He bought it as a carry gun, it didn't work out, and now he wants a range gun that he could put a red dot on. Both guns are in perfect condition - I never carried mine and neither did he ;) So as far as value goes...

    Wolf 13 lbs spring set for LCP - what's the small spring for ?

    I ordered a 13# spring set from gunsprings.com It came with 3 springs inside. Two are long and obviously are the outer and inner recoil springs. The third one is very small - 1/8" or so in diameter, 1 1/16" in length. What could that one be for ? Their office is closed for the next 3 days.

    Cheaper than Dirt sent me a returned magazine

    Just received the Ruger LCP 7rd mag I ordered from CHD, and it was very clearly a return. Fingerprints all over, somewhat dirty follower, the yellow label hangs out and the sticky side has lint and hair on it. Hope it feeds fine... just ranting.

    FMJ in .380 for carry, a question...

    So, personally, after watching ShootingTheBull's videos, I settled on Federal Hydra-Shoks - they performed very well in his tests, and are easily available in my location. But I keep reading posts by people who carry FMJs instead of JHPs in their "mouse guns". It seems there just as many of...

    Sticky SM-2 holster for LCP - concerns

    So I’ve been using this holster for about a week now and while I like or a lot, I am concerned with very little retention it offers. I can easily shake it off the gun by holding it by the grip and shaking, and if I turn the gun upside down holding it by the end of the holster, it would fall...

    Ruger LCP mags - good source?

    Trying to find a second 6rd factory mag and half of the usual places I shop at (Buds, SMGA, Sportsmans, PSA etc) are either out of stock, or push $30 and above with shipping. Any particular online store you could recommend ?

    Ruger's own LCP holster - any good long term ?

    As the title says, does anyone have any long term experience with the pocket holster included with LCP. Specifically, does it become too soft and no longer able to adequately protect the trigger, and how long were you able to use it for ?

    Good pocket holster for LCP ?

    I am using the one that came with the gun, but it feels cheap and I am afraid it’s eventually going to get too soft / worn out to provide adequate trigger protection. I don’t want a Remora, nothing wrong with it but it adds thickness. This probably rules out DeSanfis Nemesis as well. I heard...

    New LCP range report - the good and the bad

    So, I took my brand new LCP (original, 2nd gen) to the range today and went through 100 rounds of WWB target ammo. First, the good: It was significantly easier to shoot than I expected based on all the people complaining about recoil. I shot it both two-handed and one-handed and I could have...

    Does a laser make LCP less pocketable ?

    Since I am likely to carry LCP more often than G26, and it doesn't have the Glock's excellent sights, I am seriously considering getting a laser. However, my #1 absolutely top reason to go with LCP was maximum carryability. I wanted the smallest gun that could go with me anywhere and stay in my...

    Best .380 SD round for LCP ?

    Yes I know, questions like that pop up every 20 minutes. I saw the excellent testing video by ShootingTheBull where he said XTP loads in general, and especially Precision One and Fiocci Extreme, came top with regard to both the penetration and expansion in his tests. However, the video is...

    Best grip sleeve for LCP ?

    For the original LCP - Hogue or something else ? With beaver tail or not ? Looking for max comfort while maintaining pocketability.

    Thinking of getting a pocket gun, LCP Gen 2 vs LCP 2 ?

    Looking for a pocket gun for when I can't go with my G26. Trying to decide between LCP Gen 2 and LCP 2. Right now I lean towards LCP. Mainly because it's smaller. It also has a heavier trigger pull which I believe is important for a pocket gun even if carried in a holster. I know that LCP 2...
