When I took a class with Thunder Ranch in January, Clint Smith adovocated the following: Aim COM, squeeze the trigger, and then do it again. If this didn't stop the target moving, move to a "stage 2 response", fire two to COM and one to the head or pelvis. A "stage 3 response" is to fire two...

I was stopped by an Austin PD officer the otherday. He had a plaque on his uniform that gave his name and said, "23 years of service". He was carrying a 4" Smith and Wesson 686, two speed loaders, and two dump pouches on his belt. -Rob

Los Dos!! I usually opt for the following: Speed loaders in one pocket, speed strips in a different pocket. I'm all about reloading, I figure a couple of things here are important to remember. I reload with my strong hand, if injured I can reload with my weak hand (and I do practice it). It is...

Smith or Ruger, skip the Taurus. -Rob

Yildiz SxS are just about $490. They are $486 or $489.99 I can't recall which off the top of my head. They used the same chokes as the O/U guns. I recommend the 20-gauge though, because the 12 only weighs about 5 pounds.... -Rob

Hellboy's Revolver is known as "The Samaritan" it is strictly a prop-house gun as it's about 10" high and 20" long with a cylinder about 4" in diameter. -Rob

Having handled, but never shot a Korth revolver, I can tell you one thing, Korth's are built to exude quality. They are finely finished, exquistely assembled, perfectly machined, and exhibit tolerances that have to be seen to be appreciated. A Smith and Wesson is kind of like a Toyota Camry, a...

All tips previously mentioned for blending in work well. For being "armed", I really like an umbrella. The compact kind that's about 15-18" long with a wrist strap so you can keep a good hold on it. It's easy to get away with if the area you're going to sees alot of rain. If however, you're...

It could be that your bolt is not releasing properly. That said, I doubt polishing will reduce the amount of pressure it takes to open and close the gun. Make sure that your bolt is the correct length, by making sure that it is pushing the center pin far enough to clear the breech. First...

I had an LCP, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it, I sold it and went back to my Colt Agent and then I bought a Smith 642 to compliment the Agent. That's the first reason why I don't carry .380 for personal defense. The second reason is, I fail to see how driving a 100-grain flat...

My favs? Comp-Tac for Kydex Used to be Rafter S for leather (but since they've stopped delivering products). So right now I'm on the hunt for my next leather maker, I'm going to try Simply Rugged next and see how I like Rob's work. -Rob

3" Top Break, strong enough for .45 Long Colt, but chambered in .45 ACP. Round butt of approximately K-Frame size. Bobbed hammer in DAO only, with ginormous front dot sight that you could pick up from a mile away. -Rob

1) Colt D-Frame or Smith and Wesson J-Frame (I have an aluminum D-Frame). 2) Colt D-Frame or Smith and Wesson J-Frame (yes two of them). 3) A full size pistol in 9mm, .357 Magnum, or .45 ACP. I would choose one of the following: Browning Hi-Power, 4" .357 Mag revolver a Colt, Smith and...

Because real guns are steel guns and wheel guns are steel guns. ;) Because of the following factors: Traditional I Shoot Them Well Simplicity Reliability Power (in terms of magnum loadings) Cool Factor Grin Factor They ain't Glocks The only other handguns I buy now that aren't revolvers are...

Unfortunately, your experience with Taurus is the same I have seen experienced by multiple people, particularly where their "custom" 1911 is concerned. A couple of quick notes: I'm not sure where you did most of your research before buying your Taurus, but I've posted these stories before and...

Deadly Force if I can. A threat of death by an attacker is enough to warrant me being very afraid for my life. Preferably, I would like to just keep people like that away from me, by being alert and vocal if necessary. -Rob

WT, I hope you haven't misinterpreted what I wrote. I certainly think you should've been helped first and I am sorry that the clerk you were dealing with couldn't see that you were there first or didn't acknowledge you appropriately. If you feel that he definitely KNEW you were there first you...

As one of those gunshop clerks, I assure 1) I try and help the customer who was there first. 2) There is NOTHING more annoying than trying to help a customer who has no clue what they want and won't stop pestering you so you can help another customer. THE problem with being a clerk is, I CAN'T...

You did EXACTLY what needed to be done. You witnessed a crime, you called the police, you attempted to gather and give the dispatcher as much information as possible. Someone much older and wiser than me once told me, "Sometimes it is better to be a good witness than a victim." And that's the...

Wish the same thing had happened to me. Was stopped asked for license, insurance, handed him my CHL with the other documents. He asked me if I had a weapon, I told him no (I did not I was on my way to work), he went back ran everything and came back with my ticket. Oh well, I deserved the...
