Last 442 i saw in a display case had the same ring. I was looking to buy one at the time and I ended buying a Beretta Nano instead, because I decided I didn't want to take a chance on it.

If I call and he gets arrested that's on him, because he chose to carry illegally. If I don't call, and he guns somebody down then that's on me because I saw something wrong and failed to act on it. So, I would call because that's the outcome I'd have an easier time sleeping with.

Ballistics By The Inch (http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/) has chrono tests for various .25 ACP rounds from a Beretta 950 Jetfire and various .22 LR rounds from a Beretta 21A. Taking the numbers and calculating power factor and muzzle energy, it's clear that .25 ACP is pretty much equal to the...

Never owned a Charter, but I've good experiences with Smith, Ruger and Taurus snubs. I've seen a lot of negative things about Taurus, but I've owned a 650 for over five years now without a problem. I have no way to confirm it, but I suspect that their small frame .38 and .357 five shooters are...

The 100% sure way to never have an ND is to never handle a firearm. Once you make the choice to handle one, it basically comes down to risk management and how much risk you're willing to accept. Everybody is different and I've seen people that carry with an empty chamber and safety on, and...

GP101? Do mean an SP101 or GP100? Either way, that would be my choice unless she intends to get into reloading.

Ruger SP101

Perhaps a case for keeping a pistol in a safe deposit box at the bank?

While it's not mentioned on the website, M9s also have the old style frame with the straight dustcover and non-radiused backstrap.

I have one in my Glock 36. I do most of my shooting outdoors during the day, so I honestly don't use the laser very much for live fire. However, it's in my gun whenever I shoot and seems to be holding up well. I verified that it shoots to point of aim. At most reasonable handgun distances...

There's a free online video series on tactical knife skills here It's very basic, covering: selecting knives, maintaining knives and some simple knife fighting techniques. It's geared more towards the non-martial artist who may need to use a knife in self-defense. To build on those basics...

The main thing you have to look out for is more Kahrs. They have a nasty habit of popping up when you least expect it and the next thing you know you're trying to explain to your SO why the bank account is empty.

Lance Thomas used multiple handguns three separate times, so it has happened. One of those times he even shot three handguns empty.

I've shot 147 grain JHPs from several different manufacturers through several different autoloaders over the years and never had an issue. There is some controversy over how well it actually works as self-defense load. However, I chock that up mainly to the fact that the 147 Grain 9mm was...

S&W 4506-1 It's big, heavy, easy to shoot and makes large holes in people. Despite it's size, though, the grip is flat and not terribly thick making it easy to conceal. Other nice features include an extremely short trigger reset and good corrosion resistance.

+2 Unless the buddy asked for input about his choice in caliber, I don't see where it's anybody else's business. Many people, myself included, started on a .45 and have done just fine.

The trigger still has to cock the hammer the rest of the way before they will fire, so they're not really single actions. In concept they work like a hammer fired Glock, but the actual trigger pull feels much closer to a double action revolver with a similiar weight and length of travel (the...

Of the original 3rd general pistols, the 6906 was the only compact and the only one with an alloy frame. Basically there were only two versions in each series to start: xx04 that was blued and xx06 that was stainless. When S&W decided to add alloy framed and compact versions of the other...

The 4583 should be a Tactical Smith & Wesson gun. If the 4566 slide is also from a TSW gun then there's a good chance they will interchange. In TSW series the same slide was used for both DAO and TDA guns. If the 4566 slide is not from a TSW gun, then I would not count on them interchanging...

You forgot to mention that possession of a firearm without the proper permit is a mandatory minimum senstence of year in prison. Combined with that disregard for GOPA's interstate transport provisions, this makes MA the absolute worst state to travel through with firearms, IMO.
