This is an interesting thread. It brings up a topic I never thought about before. From the time I was 16, I carried a S&W .38 Special in my car (that was about 1955, as a point of reference) all the time (including in the high school parking lot). I was not alone, I knew of six or eight other...

My handgun preferences, above all others, run to Colt Governments in various calibers. I tweak them to suit me. My traveling gun is a S&W 4506. Reliable, comfortable to shoot, fits in my auto safe (for those states that don't allow me access to a loaded gun). I have about as much emotional...

This is an interesting topic to me in particular. About six months ago I had a conversation with a training officer on something similar. I have done Tai Chi, the slow-motion Chinese exercise regimen. I got up to the 60+ movement version of the exercise (you do several reps). Tai Chi, and...

I belive that they had a problem at one time with train robbery. The law says, I believe, that you can't carry on a train in Montana either, even with a CWP.

You bet. Done.

One hundred and fifty years ago, coyotes were only found in Arizona, New Mexico, Southern Colorado, Southern Utah and Southern California. As we began to remove the higher predators (mountain lions and wolves, mainly) they began to spread. They have now been spotted in every state in the Union...

I've never met anybody who wore out a M1911. On the other hand, I have a friend who has one that he says is like the "old family axe." "It's had four new handles and two new heads, but it's the old family axe..." I suppose it is the original GI issue frame, but everything else in that pistol...

I forgot to add that both of the Yaqui Slides pictured have an opening the back of the belt channel so that you can catch a belt loop and the holster cannot slide back-and-forth on your belt. It took me a while to develop the finger dexterity necessary to catch the loop when threading the belt...

Pistols In Holsters Here is a picture of my P239 in the Galco Yaqui Slide. As somebody in the other thread noted, it probably doesn't hold it as close as a pancake holster, but for me the difference is minimal and the holster is more comfortable. You do need to use a stiff belt, because with...

Over in your other thread I proposed a Galco Yaqui Slide for a P239 (see that one for further comment). Living in Arizona, an IWB is (to me anyway) really uncomfortable and you have to clean your carry weapon every fifteen minutes or it's going rust shut. With the little YS, it's outside your...

I have owned and intermittantly carried a P239 in 9mm for about eight or nine years. I shoot it at least monthly for proficiency. It is stone reliable. I have tried four or five different holsters over the years before settling on a Galco Yaqui Slide. It holds the pistol in high and tight...

I had this posted on another forum as a thread starter. Seeing as how it's going here, why not? A slow day at the office in May, 2008, and a visit from a couple of guys I know resulted in a three-Guinness-lunch at a psuedo-Irish pub (I've always wanted to be sophisticated enough for a...

Sig P-220 in .45 ACP with Crimson Trace Laser Grips (don't have to hunt my glassess in the dark) + Surefire light + one more magazine

Moderators: If this is dupe, take it off. I found it on a political web site and thought it was amazing. This is a Brit correspondent for the BBC America's 'safety catch' By Justin Webb BBC North America editor, Missouri Despite the fact there are more than 200 million guns...

Yeah, we had some of that too. We had to quit feeding cottonseed cake though, too much of it and the calves went blind. I don't remember what it was in it that did that though.

I suppose I was an Armed Child. Never thought about it much. Got a Winchester slide-action .22 at the age of 9 which went in my bedroom closet with however much ammunition I had left from the last brick I talked my father out of. By 10, I had my grandfather's 250-3000 Savage 99 in there with...

Yeah, I thought it was good too. Some of the smart-a** remarks made me laugh, even though there were talking about really "bad things." It was very much like the graveyard humor one hears in a military unit in a combat zone — something civilians can never appreciate; to them it just sounds...

I have and shoot M1911s in .45 ACP and 10 mm almost exclusively (6 of the former, 3 of the latter). The 10 mm is more accurate at the longer distances than the .45 ACP, but both are just fine at ranges under 60-feet (where I commonly shoot). The recoil from the 10 mm PD ammunition (generally...

In my experience, fragile they ain't (I have two and shoot them a lot). They're industrial strength handguns with the additional benefit of being heavy enough to make a good club if you run out of ammunition. The only downside to the 1006 (and the other 10X6s) is that d****d spring-loaded pin...

It's one of the yes-and-no answers. My first gun was an old Winchester .22 given to me by my father, he helped me sell it a few years later to get a better one which I kept (he bought the first one for a few buck from a friend, no sentimental attachment there). My first handgun (S&W .38...
