Just happened and I bought a Sig P226 Combat for a home defense and range gun. I am an old timer and still prefer all metal guns with hammers. I shot competition with a DA/SA gun and like everything else with shooting, the transition becomes natural with some training just like pulling a trigger...
Mike Pocket Holster. The most comfortable way I carry my J-Frame. After that, the Galco King Tuk works very well for IWB carry and any pancake type holster works for belt carry.
The following article by Dave Lewis will demonstrate how to use a revolver speed loader. I personally have a few and use them when I can. With practice you can load a revolver almost as fast as a semi auto.
The Lost Art of the Revolver Speed Loader
I live in a retirement home in Florida and love my ability to dress around my gun and even carry off body and wear vest. I have a closet filled with Hawaiian shirts a size larger and polo shirts also a size larger but also in Tall so that they are long enough to cover my pockets when I pocket...
Still not as bad as my cousin who bought 500 rounds of .22lr only to find that in his haste to grab it at a low price it was snake shot and his gun is a semi auto. :-) I felt sorry for him and sold him some of mine and am giving him a few hundred rounds for his birthday.
However, his house...
Seems that a majority of Americans want the U.S. Senate to move on and not try to revive the defeated gun control bill. Not surprisingly more women than men wanted the Senate to vote again. However, the majority of people were in favor of individual gun control measures to ban “unspecified”...
It is not a bad idea if you buy a purse made for carrying a gun. It just is not the best choice as is any off body carry method. However since the great majority of us will never need to use the guns we carry, I have no problem with someone choosing comfort over being uncomfortable for the rest...
I have only shot up to .44 caliber hot loads in a handgun but I have shot 12 gauge shotguns with just a pistol grip a lot with no problem. I rarely notice recoil as when I shoot I am very focused on the target. I had never had a sore hand before as I have experienced much worse when I played...
After a long time looking for a non auction Colt Mustang Pocketlite I finally found one and bought it. I took it to the range. It was flawless with Remington 95 gr. FMJ ammo, eating all 50 rounds without a hitch. It also like my Hornady FTX ammo. As with my Sig P238, it jammed frequently on...
I am at the point now where all the local gun store owners just tell me that I have already owned everything they sell so they have nothing new of interest for me. However, I keep on telling the wife and friends that I have bought the last gun and then go and buy not one, but two new ones. I am...
It is getting better. Just bought some SD .380 ammo for $18 a box when it was selling for $36 a box the week before and some still selling at those higher prices.
I watch it but am liking it less. It now seems to be going the way of all reality TV shows where they seem to script things to keep it interesting. Let's face it, filming a week at any business can be boring as heck. I also have to wonder about a business who says they have to shut their doors...
Just picked up a gently used, or as I like to call them, broken in, S&W 340PD for $800 with fairly new CT laser grips. Guy who owned it shot it a few times and never shot it again. He was not what I call a Shootist. Finally decided to sell it to get something he could shoot at the range. Gun is...
Never a good idea to ask others what is the best gun for you especially since you do not mention what the gun will be used for or anything about your physical size, strength or experience. Anyone who follows gun forum advice as to which gun is better is going to end up with uninformed opinions...
Problem is that most gun owners never see what bullets do in real life against human flesh. I have seen a .22lr stop a big man in his tracks and several .45's not slow someone down. Seen bullets stopped by all sorts of things and not stopped at all.
Seen a lot of strange things like bullets...
I am an old timer that has been shooting since 1970. I was raised on .357 magnum and .45 acp guns. I dabbled with 9mm and .38 spl. I only tried a .40 cal. 3 years ago and immediately sold it. I did not like the way it recoiled. It brings my muzzle up rather than pushes back into my hand like my...
