Ive had a 5.5 inch for a couple of years now. Not what most people would consider a carry gun, but I love it. With the proper hand loads it is surprisingly accurate and nice to shoot.

GSG-1911 .22 for my nephew (21st birthday.)

I spent almost 10 years working as a doorman (not bouncer) in nightclubs, illegal after hours, and more raves than I want to even try to count. During which time I've had to deal with everything from drunk frat idiots to heavily "medicated" street freaks to patch wearing bikers. I can't say I've...

Don't believe all the noncence about being treated rude if you don't speak french. I was in Montreal a few years back for a big martial arts conference and we had an excellent time. The old city is beautifull, the food fantastic, and women were out of this world. No firearms allowed (it is...

Actuall, in reply to EOTech's question, I very seldom carry a gun outside of work. After packing one around for 10 hours a day, plus whatever time it takes me to do my shopping on the way home, I don't feel I need to most days. That's not to say that there isn't times when my travels or job...

I have to second Highorder's comments exactly. Before I bought a proper gunbelt I thought it couldn't make much of a differance. I now own two proper belts (one leather with plastic lineing and one Galco instructors belt). The cost wasn't any more than what I pay for a regular good belt and I...

I think the original question was about wearing body armour other than work. I'm not sure anymore as I got somewhat side tracked reading about EOtechs invading Chinese Canadians or some such weirdness. I very seldom wear my armour other than at work. One set does however hang on the back of...

I just bought a model 19-3 with a 4 inch for $300 and love it. If it's in good shape that's an excellent price. And some of the earlier posters are right on the money about the checking the cone for crackes. Everything written about the model says to make sure to check exactly that and to keep...

Having worked as a doorman for more than a few years I have had the wonderful honor of being sprayed on a few occasions with some of the more popular brands of self defence sprays. They don't all work alike, not everyone is effected the same way, and I wouldn't trust my life to the stuff. I've...

I own the much talked about "drawer full of holsters" and have found higher end Kydex were the fastest for me.

IWB: I've got this excellent convertable IWB/OWB for my 2" .38 from BlackHills Leather Western style: Again a BlackHills Leather, California model, for my Redhawk OWB : Tac-Pro Kydex for my 1911 and Glocks.

I was just looking for information on the exact same subject. From what I've read so far the Ultra is much less to reload (if you include the price of brass) and gives you slightly more bang for your buck. And according to what I've seen so far is almost exactly on par in the long range...

I know there are a few holster makers who use the exotic leathers on some of their models but can anyone lead me to a South African company/person who makes holsters. My buddy is an ex-cop from there and it's his birthday coming up and I'd like to get hime something in the way of a holster from...

I once asked myself the very same question. I now own a Taurus Raging Bull in 454. It's way to big to carry, store bought ammo is as far as you can get from cheap as possible, and it usalyy scares the hell out of people on the range. And dare I say, I am so much more accurate with either my 1911...

Biggest suprise would have to be the Norinco 1911 I bought new for $300. Before all the modifications it was suprisingly accurate and fun to shoot. After, it still suprises me. And the Winchester 94 I bought used, but looked like it had never seen the light of day. The previous owner though he...

I own two vests. One Second chance one Safariland both level 2 rated. One goes with me to the range when we shoot tactical and the other sits in my closet next to my Surefire, Glock 22 (night sights, two mags in a push button handgun safe) and Moss 500 locked to the wall with a cable lock. I can...

I've been to two ranges in Calgary, one indoor. The Fireing Line. It also has a retail store and you can "rent" different models to try on the range. An excellent way to try something out before you invest a large amount of money into it. They also have a few rifles you can try out that for the...

The chance of anyone other than a sworn peace officer/ policeman ever having the ability to CCW on any campus grounds is about the same as anyone winning the lottery twice. In a row. Granted the horrer show that is being shown on TV today may be an arguement for it. But spend an average...

I had a similar conversation, on many occasions, with a friend I'd known since high school. I lover her dearly and respected her intelligent ability to argue many different points. We just could never see eye to eye on this one issue. Till we went to see Shindlers List. First thing out of her...

Thanks for the info everyone. I've used a limited amount of Tightgroup in the past (one pound) and found it was good for FMJ 180s in my two .40s. But Universal was a complete unknown to me. I was looking at it because of the wide range of calibers it showed loads for. It interested me because it...
