I don't have a preference between those two. I would strongly recommend going with Warren Tactical 2 dot or heinie straight 8's though for sights. I shoot a G19 with factory trijicons and one with warren tactical 2 dot and had a G17 with the heinie's on them and I found the warren and heinies...

It's all about shot placement. I carry an HK45c and a glock 19, so I am comfortable with both calibers. If you are new to shooting, go 9mm. Cheaper to practice, less recoil, easier to be accurate with (i.e. not flinching). Practice is the key, just like anything else you want to be...

I understand the concept he was going for, and you see these kinds of backstops for arrows that basically give way to the arrow and slow it down before the arrow can penetrate it, but a bullet is moving too fast and a sheet has too much inertia to move with the bullet and catch it. It will...

I don't think this is correct. Manufacturers will lower it because their competitors will lower it. Competition is what keeps the prices low for us, and they should drop significantly now that the price of all of their raw materials is going down.

The COD series does it the best, although there are a few flaws as others pointed out. My biggest complaint about COD4 is that you have firearms that fire the same round (i.e. M4 carbine vs. M16 vs. G36) and they all are rated at different damage levels. Another pet peeve of mine is that the...

If cost of the firearm is an issue, then cost of the ammo is too, so I would go with 9mm for sure. I think from your list, the XD is the best choice for a 1st handgun due to consistent trigger pull every time and ease of maintenance. I'd recommend a M&P or GLOCK over the XD, but they're...

I believe i have the .156" notch on my G19 i just had no experience with any of the narrower notches. I think I'm going to go with the 0.140" size which is a good in between.

Gunscrubber is not meant to clean out carbon and lead build up. It breaks down oils and lubricants and other solvents. I would use something like Hoppe's #9 to break down and clean out all the crud in there and then gunscrubber (synthetic safe) to take out all the hoppe's #9 and the old...

Heinie offers 3 common rear sight notch widths for their straight 8 night sights. They have .125" (standard), .140", and .156" (also called the GLOCK race cut width). For those that have experience with these sights, what are your thoughts on the different widths? Thanks.

I would strongly advise against this. P6's are not designed to feed hollowpoints and usually have a problem with them. Sig 225's (basically the same gun) has a different barrel than the P6 and is designed to feed them. If you do get a P6, I would strongly recommend buying a Sig P225 barrel...

That's a good idea, but according to handgunlaw.us i don't think SC honors any non-resident permit in their state. You have to have a normal resident permit from another state that they have reciprocity with.

I have been trying to find some info on this online, but I am likely moving from North Carolina to South Carolina and trying to figure out what will happen to my NC CHL. It says on the NC firearm law PDF copy that you have to be a NC resident to be issued a CHL but it doesn't say anything about...

Some guns may just not fit you well no matter how you try to adjust. I've seen some shooters shoot a G19 and make 2" groups at 7 yards and then pick up a M&P or an XD and it turns into 5" groups. I've also seen people who were more accurate with an M&P than anything else out there. It may...

I voted semi auto because I shoot them faster with more accuracy than I shoot revolvers. They also reload faster, carry more rounds, and have less recoil in a similar weight gun. Modern semi-auto's are also much easier to clean. I do like revolvers, and a lightweight J-frame makes the...

They also have the dimensions of the HK45c incorrect on the website. It is actually around 5.0" in height and i think they list 5.59". With extended mag floorplates on it is probably closer to 5.59".

I'd break it down into 3 weight/size categories and how often i'd carry each. 1. Primary -- HK45c or G19 (these are either of the two I'd pick). 90% of the time 2. Secondary -- Lightweight revolver (S&W 340, 360, 442, 642, etc). 9.9% of the time other than as a BUG. 3. Tertiary -- Ruger...

Don't consider anything but a 9mm in my opinion, unless you really want to spend a lot of money on ammo learning how to shoot. 9mm is just as effective as the rest despite what gun shop employees and internet forums say, it comes down to shot placement and not bullet size. If you shoot 2x as...

I'd strongly consider the H&K 45c if I were you. Much improved ergonomics over the USPc. The LEM is not available yet for it but should be soon. I prefer to carry mine cocked & locked like a 1911 though. I think it is much more concealable than a 220 (we have a W. German 220). The grip...

I've seen a statistic that says cops have a ~20% hit rate (1 in 5 shots) in an armed confrontation. Now lets say you're mugged by 2 people and only have 5 shots...

I use Federal HST +P 230 grain. It is a stout load (230 grains @ ~990 FPS), but expands very nicely to nearly an inch in water and gelatin. It has a wide hollow point cavity opening though, and I've heard of and seen issues feeding in different guns. My Colt 1911 XSE has about a 5% failure...
