I recently purchased a new P3AT as a carry gun. Took it to the indoor range where I bought it and every shot was a FTL/FTE with good ammo, both FMJ and JHP. The gunsmiths there noted Smileys on the ammo and said there were burrs on numerous parts. They did some polishing with some improvement...

I'm in east central, near Daytona. I'd prefer one in central or north Florida. Thanks,

I am looking for recommendations on a defensive pistol course in Florida. When searching, four names came up. Any experience with these or other recommendations for central or north Florida? 1) Ayoob - LFI-1 2)Southern Exposure Training 3)AIS - Tactical Firearms Training 4)Frank Garcia's...

I recently sent my Walther P22 to S & W for some minor problems which have occurred. The turnaround time was incredible, being less than 1 1/2 weeks total. I have yet to try the gun, but, am incredibly impressed at the service.

I have emailed a number of larger holster companies and stores regarding an in-pocket holster. They refer me to their site stating if it is not on it they would not recommend it. I know for sure that there are in-pocket holster that fit the 3.4 inch barrel P22. I would appreciate any...

I've bought from Natchez a few times. My carrier leaves them on my doorstep without a signature.

I was wondering whether there is a majority consensus among LEO's as to whether CCW is a good or bad thing.

Here's a link to a recent review on them - http://www.jesseshunting.com/articles/guns/category8/168.html

Yes I did. They are still better than pretty much anything else in the 22LR and probably fairly equivalent to a 22 magnum.

I've seen one review of this new hypervelocity, 40 grain ammo. It looks impressive, almost to the point of making a 22lr a reasonable self-defense pistol. Does anyone know if it's available yet(and where) or have any experience?

I live in Florida. The CCW law enables you to protect your family or their property,but, mentions nothing about a stranger being carjacked or attacked in public. Once it is clear that the attacker is not LEO and is a thug, is there anything a person with a CCW can legally do to help other than...

I realize the original 1911 is a 45 ACP Colt. How is this different than your standard semiautomatic available these days. When people use the term 1911, if it is not a Colt, what do they specifically mean?

Browningguy, nowhere in my question did I say I was anti-gun or anti-CCW-You need to read. In fact, I have taken a CCW course and my application is already in. What I was looking for was well thought out info regarding the actual usefullness of CCW. Can it actually make the situation worse? On...

The post by Jfanzen is a perfect example as to why there should be ongoing debate and discussion on CCW and the responsibilities that come with it. This is clearly a situation where a person and his community would be better served by waiting . As I understand it, CCW is meant to be defensive...

David904, it depends on your definition of a violent crime. Spending some of my formative years and graduate school in a high crime area in a major city, I was frequently hit up for money and mildly beat up. I never had a knife or gun pulled on me, however. I lived in Clearwater for a few...

In Florida it is legal to defend oneself at home or business (a man's castle) and one can legally carry a loaded weapon in your glove compartment ( and protect yourself). I have no problem with these. I am looking for a specific, not obnoxious answer as to where a CCW comes in handy, other...

Thank you all for the reply. You all have valid points and certainly agree with dairycreek that to obtain a CCW, one must be willing to take on a huge responsibility. Certainly this is not the wild wild west . It is a little difficult to compare stocking hurricane supplies with carrying a...

This may seem like a naive question. I've been target shooting for 6 months with 3 different autos ( Ruger P95, Daly ZDA and Walther P22) and enjoy it immensely. Why do people carry concealed ( other than those in high risk professions or store owners)? It seems to me that it could get you...

I have a new ZDA (my first gun). Have not had a single problem in the first 400 rounds. The manual is sketchy on cleaning the gun. I have read posts recommending the avoidance of cleaner or oil near firing pins in pistols as this could increase the chance of the pin sticking. What is the best...
