My first Wrangler also keyholed and Ruger replaced it. The second one had problems in the cylinder and I had to remove the cylinder and drive out the empities with a hammer and dowel in three of the chambers.. I fixed this myself but then found that it also was a keyhole shooter. I traded it...

I was with USCCA for a few years. They provide a lot of training materials in their magazine and Youtube presentations, however most of it is not new information to me. I was never exactly sure what USCCA would or would not cover as their literature was not specific. I changed to CCW Safe...

More on my tale of two Wranglers. On the first one, the nice cutomer service person advised that I could elect to receive a new replacement or they would return mine if I desired. She then gave me a warning that the returned gun was potentially dangerous and should not be shot at all. I...

Last year I purchased a Ruger Wrangler 22LR pistol just to have fun with it at the range. I realized it would not be a high precision pistol at the low price point. It was inconsistent, and often would shoot as expected given the simple sights and my skills. However, there were some real bad...

Guns that I take to the range on a weekly basis (mostly 22lr or 9mm) are only cleaned about every fourth range trip. Guns that only go to the range infrequently get cleaned every time so they do not sit in the safe dirty. EDC guns get cleaned each week whether they have been shot or not.

Any news to report on the Colt / CZ situation?

I started with the goal of having one example of each major type of firearm, e.g. Lever-action, SA revolver, semi- auto rifle, etc. I still have a way to go - there are many types I still do not have. Trying to limit the types of ammo: 22, 380 acp, 9 mm, 38 sp, 357, 45 acp, 5.56 mm. Brands...

Worked two years in NYC and carried a "NY wallet" filled with small bills, a fake ID, and used up gift cards cards that looked like credit cards. To fool an observant crook, I actually used the wallet when paying cash. This was done at the recommendation of the NewYorkers I worked with...

Pistol on nightstand goes to robe pocket after arising. After breakfast and shower, pistol is in a comfortable appendix IWB holster - anytime or anywhere at home or not. If wearing sweat pants without a belt, a bellyband holster is used. Required a lot of trials to get holsters and guns...

Attorney Andrew Branca provided a daily summary of the testimony on his ":Law of Self Defense" web site and YouTube channel. He generally will not predict an outcome because juries are so unpredictable, however he did say the expert witnesses and the defendant's attorney made a compelling case...

Bought a P229 and loved it. Then came a West German P220, a P320C ms, a P365 ms, and a P238. The SIGness is easy to catch. Many, many other great brands out there, and I have some of them. However, SIGS are special to me. When I shoot any of the above, they never disappoint.

I liked my Browning Buckmark Hunter for its good looks and great accuracy, but it kept pinching my left hand thumb as the slide closed after a shot. I am in the habit of using the thumbs forward grip on all autoloaders and inevitably I let my thumb got pinched bad enought to bleed. After the...

I am very fortunate to now belong to a gun club that is almost desserted during the week so my own safety is the only draw limitation. Before I joined the club, I used a phone app called iTarget and a laser bullet to practice dry firng at home. The app provides a signal to draw, records the...

In the legal system, frequently the process is the punishment. Successfully defend yourself physically with a handgun, win the court cases, criminal and civil, and now enjoy starting over financially with a re-financed house and a . depleted IRA plan. For the price of a mid-level handgun, a...

First centerfire and first handgun is my S&W Model 19 nickel plated .357 with a 2 1/2" barrel bought new in 1977. Still have it and shoot it.

My dad gave me one for Christmas when I was 14. I really appreciated the gift, and always took good care of it. Guess who I think off every time I see it or shoot it?

I have enjoyed THR as lurker for some time but wanted to join up. I live in the great gun friendly state of Tennessee.

P229R in 9mm in the winter when it can be easily concealed and LC9s in the summer.

I also used a lockable closet to store my guns and I offer a small suggestion. I place my ammo storage containers on sliders that are sold to move furniture and put the containers on the closet floor. They slide out easily for access.

Both would be fun for anyone including new shooters. The only thing I did not like about the SR was the manual safety that works the opposite of most pistols with safeties. I replaced the SR with an S&W M&P 22LR Compact which has a more conventional layout. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
