I carry most of the time. However, I haven't figured out a way to carry a Glock 19 on a track pants or shorts. So when I'm wearing that I generally don't carry. Not a good excuse I know...

Glock 19, wallet, keys, phone. I occasionally carry a Swiss Army Knife as well. No spare mag. But I see the need for one

Hello all. Recently, I was the attempted victim at an ATM. The would-be mugger tried to con me into giving him my card. I raised my voice, caused a bit of a commotion and he buggered off. There was no violence needed to stop the threat - this was a win in any way you look at it. But I was...

Interesting article on the history of gun rights in South Africa. Seems more things change the more they stay the same. https://paratus.info/2020/07/13/gun-rights-in-south-africa/

I am from South Africa. guns are heavily restricted but it is possible to get one. I just took delivery of my first Glock 19 a couple of weeks back. Due to our history, gun ownership/ culture is mostly limited to Whites, and there is a lack of understanding/ knowledge of guns within other races...

Recently, while out on a run, I was approached by a homeless person. I saw him from a distance. When I came close to him, he asked for the time. As I was fiddling with my GPS watch, he took a step towards me, and when I looked up, he was practically on top of me. Fortunately he did not have...

Thanks for the feedback. Just to give you a bit of background. South Africa is a concealed carry jurisdiction for everyone except security and police, and has really strict gunlaws (for us law abiding citizens). I have been waiting for my licence for a Glock 19 for about 8 months, and the...

Recently in our area, a young man went missing. He left home at around 6 in the morning, and told his parents he was going for a run. He never returned. Wallet, car keys, ID - were all at home. It turns out that he was bi-polar and likely got lost/ confused during his run. They eventually found...

After clearing a range gun, I handed it back to the dealer. He checked the chamber and pulled the trigger... with the muzzle pointed at my chest. I didn't strike me until I got into my car what he just did.

I agree with the sentiment here to a point. My son chose a pellet gun because he wasn't getting an XBox. I hope we doing the right thing by introducing him to guns at an early age and drilling safety into his head. My daughter hates guns, but still loves her bike and the outdoors in general.

I was told by a dealer when I walked in not knowing a thing about guns. "you have to use FMJ in a Glock because Hollow points jam the gun". I actually believed him!!!!!

Its a pity gun safety don't make it into his movies. Many more people watch Bad Boys than this video (including me); and how many will think that its OK to wave a loaded gun around like Mike Lowry? I get it - its a movie and not meant to be serious but....

When I decided to buy my EDC, I did hours and hours of research. I came to the conclusion that I wanted a striker fired pistol or a DA/SA pistol. Eventually I settled on a striker fired pistol and narrowed this down to the CZP10C and the G19. I test-shot both and quickly realised that the...

I started shooting earlier this year. I am 39. Part of the reason is that my parents are really Anti-gun. I've wanted a gun for the last 6 years, since a mugging incident but only got about doing it now. Waiting for my Gun licence before I can take possession of my gun. My son shot his first...

I am considering starting boxing, but I am also currently training for my first half-marathon, so kind of short of time. I did karate for a few months about 12 years ago and during that time, I was the fittest I ever was.

My son is 11 and has been around BB guns for a while now. He recently shot a .22 and is now after my Glock 19! I hope to start him in competition shooting soon. That way keep him from trouble

To be fair, I was also one of those poor souls (after I watched Die Hard)

Now I'm confused. The video states that it is preferred to focus on the target as in a real life encounter, it is natural to focus on the threat - i.e. target. Nowhere does he qualify this by saying at close distances. I'm new to guns and have not yet taken delivery (in South Africa its a real...

Hello everyone. I'm from South Africa. Just bought my first gun - a Glock 19 Gen5. However, due to strict licencing regulations here, I have not yet taken ownership. Hope to join competition shooting as well when the budget allows. My son is 11 years old and also interested in guns; hope to...
