    Safety or no safety?

    Yeah, I always do. I am torn on the safety though. I do carry my FN without the safety, but I carry a g3c with it. Maybe subconsciously I don't trust the manufacturer. I do trust Sig. Ultimately, I am the safety. But, I do have airbags in my car.

    Safety or no safety?

    As a big framed guy, waistband holsters are not optimal, I use a belly band which holds the gun in place well but is not hard cased. Would this cause concern?

    Safety or no safety?

    When carrying one in the chamber do you prefer a manual safety on or no? Am purchasing a p365 xl and debating this issue with myself. The non safety version is easier to find. I have always carried one in the pipe and safety on. Not sure I can convince myself to carry with no safety. Can...

    Defense ammo vs target ammo for handguns

    Completely agree on modifications. Every modification, especially internals on a Glock is one step further away from reliability. That's not to say they can't be as reliable, but Glock has built their entire package to work together. A change in springs, no matter the function of that...

    Defense ammo vs target ammo for handguns

    Yes, I oil all of my firearms each month. But, I only have three, much more to keep peace than by desire. Don't misread, I love all guns. They are like pizza, it's all good some is better than others. I like polymer guns very well. I like all metal guns, i just like guns. Big ones, small...

    Defense ammo vs target ammo for handguns

    The Wilson brand was just used as an example of a high priced gun and certainly not for being a hammer fired weapon. As you know the customize many brands, Glock, Sig Sauer and others, in all calibers. I carry a G19 as well. My point was, we all seem to be of the same mindset when it comes to...

    Help with a Holosun 507c optic

    I am new to handgun optics. Have had them on rifles and while they would seem similar they are different to me. I have a few questions and also would greatly appreciate tips from the community that may reduce the learning curve. So here goes: on this optic do I turn the elevation dial...

    Defense ammo vs target ammo for handguns

    Thank you for your service. You are very right. when looking at this further it is important to understand that while budget guns may go bang everytime,there bang may not be the same as a more quality gun. When you study the velocities of projectiles fired from to guns of similar length and...

    Defense ammo vs target ammo for handguns

    Yeah. Completely agree. Have had a Canik and a Taurus, Smith and Wesson as well. all very good guns. Were they as good as some of my higher and Guns? Probably not in build quality, but I certainly would have trusted my life with them. I guess that is the point of my question. does a low...

    Defense ammo vs target ammo for handguns

    Just a of question for those of you who say to take every advantage you can get. why don't you do the same with your gun? Especially those carrying a 250 dollar budget gun and claiming they are just as good or a smaller caliber and claiming it to be just as effective. Don't lean on the...

    Defense ammo vs target ammo for handguns

    OK. That's alot of information. If we can agree that Handguns are slanted toward the lower range of effectiveness than we can all agree to use the most effective ammo. That if different for everyone. My main point in this thead if for people to not worry that they don't have the latest and...

    Defense ammo vs target ammo for handguns

    Thanks, Jim. All good stuff. I also advocate the use of night sights. They are a no brainer. I carry American Gunner by Hornaday, 124 gr JHP +P in my Glock 19 and have my 1911 loaded with Sig V-max 230 gr JHP. So, I am a believer. But as Rousseau taught so elegantly hundreds of years...

    Excellent answer. Thank you for your service. I live in a town that I am sure you are familiar with, Jacksonville. Home of the World's largest Marine Corps Base and thank God for that.I think you have hit the nail on the head.

    Defense ammo vs target ammo for handguns

    While this sounds clever I don't really think it is apples to apples . I do get your point. And Maybe I am arguing just for the sake of argument here. But, medicine has improved significantly, while ballistics technologies has also improved, ammo was capable of nearly the same result back...
