I have a Kahr PM9. It is awesome to carry. My buddy bought a Glock 26 to carry, convinced it was superior and that I wasted money because the Glock 26 was significantly cheaper.
His gun is never carried. It sits in his glove box 24/7.
I'd spring for the Kahr PM9, spend the extra couple hundred...
Nushif,
I wouldn't let my story discourage you from participating in the Oregon area. That is my crew's stomping grounds. We've shot the vast majority of the matches in the state, admittedly mostly entirely in the Willamette valley (all of us at the University of Oregon until recently).
If you...
This isn't exactly our first time away from our standard matches, we had all at various times shot at different competitions nearby (three guns, other IDPA, Practical rifle shoots).
It wasn't exactly our first rodeo. It was however, the first time we've ever seen someone (loads of people...
I went with a group of pals a week ago to a IDPA match in a large metropolitan area a long way from our standard stomping grouns (in another state). We've all shot many small IDPA matches in our local area and had a very different experience at this match with more than 150 competitors...
If the situation is serious enough to warrant the police you'd be a fool not to loan one of your guns to your brother. You'll feel real great about how you avoided some probably imaginary liability when your brother has his face caved in by the ex con.
If you loan a car to someone are you...
I regularly fly with firearms between Alaska, Hawaii and Oregon (multiple times a year for the last five years): Read and familiarize yourself with Alaska Airlines rules. Bring a printed copy of the rules with you to the airport. TSA and the airlines in the Northwest have the flying with checked...
Do people really have a problem with walking in front of the muzzle of a gun laying inert on a table?
It isn't like the firearm is magically going to fire. Someone/something has to activate the trigger.
Maybe I'm just super cavalier and foolhardy, but I'd personally have no problem walking by...
The trailer will be immobilized by a hitch lock and blocked in by a large truck. Someone towing the trailer away is possible, but unlikely. Other expensive items have been stored on this property for years without being stolen (jet ski, boat, a 6500$ dump trailer).
Heated storage places like...
I searched the forums and didn't find answers specific enough for my circumstances. Here they are:
The guns will be in a safe, which will be in a cargo trailer covered by a tarp (a bunch of household goods are in the trailer also). The trailer will be parked in the open in the pacific northwest...
I have had the opportunity to hang out with gun owners of both types.
I shoot rifle and pistol competitions and have witnessed the shooting skills of people who semi-annually attending expensive shooting schools or are shooting instructors for large city police departments and who regularly...
Appreciate the replies.
I'm just getting into the rifle reloading bit (I mainly shoot pistols and rimfire rifle). For now it sounds like the bullets I'm loading will do what I need them to do.
As I accumulate more brass though I'll make sure to sort it by headstamp so I can follow everyone's...
I think they make snake shot in 9mm.
If a man doesn't want snakes on his property it isn't any business of mine, but I hope your wearing hearing protection. The decibel level from handgun report definitely damages your hearing permanently.
Yeah, the brass is all mixed headstamps and I'm using varget powder (which is long and cylindrical). Also, it isn't really practical for me to load only one headstamp at a time. I don't have enough brass to do that (I have approximately 300 pieces). I'm not super concerned about extreme accuracy...
I've been loading up a bunch of .223 and have been using my digital scale to weight each charge before I put it in the case (my lee powder measure seems to be accurate to +/- 0.5 gn. When set to 25.8 gn the measure will throw charges between 25.6 to 26.1 gn, but most often it measures out 25.8...
I'd suspect trouble trying to carry it on the plane. Too much risk in my opinion.
You could put it in checked luggage no problem. Back home (Alaska) I picked a local public range clean of left brass (50ish pounds) and brought it to college to reload and shoot.
I have a 740 pound safe that is going to get moved in a couple months (graduating from college and off to dental school).
The last time the safe was moved it was done by some professional movers for $250. They also moved all my household goods across town negating the need for me to rent a...
Why does the military not let people bring back auto openers? I've have a auto opening Benchmade on the desk in front of me right now and carry it every day. My girlfriends mom bought it for me from a downtown store.
If they are commercially available at sporting goods stores why does the...
