    Anyone Have or Use A CCW Badge ?

    Situation Where It Might Be Used ? I have a real-life example where such a badge "MIGHT" be useful. While driving one day, I apparently wasn't driving fast enough and didn't move over quick enough for a road-raged guy behind me. Not only did he flip me off and yell irrately; when we stopped...

    Anyone Have or Use A CCW Badge ?

    There are several web sites which offer CCW Badges. I'm just curious if anyone out there has one of these badges ? If so, what was your reason for getting it ? Have you ever "used" or "revealed" it ? Under what circumstances ? Would it be of any benefit to have one to show an LEO ? In...

    Which Night Sights and why

    :) If you had used a similie such as the one in the above quote, instead of a statement representing "fact", I would not have bothered to comment. The real problem is the significant misunderstanding/fear of radiation, and the incorrect references to cancer causation when radiation is...

    Which Night Sights and why

    RyanM - Tritium Sites :eek: Sorry, being a Nuclear Engineer and Health Physicist, I must respond. Tritium has a maximum beta energy of 0.0186 MeV, which determines the range of travel and the depth of penetration. The approximate MAXIMUM range in air is...

    Why .380 instead of small 9mm?

    If "small 9" means weight, you're right; however, when compared to the SIG P232 the form factor is very close: Overall Length Overall Height SIG P-232:6.60 " 4.70 " EMP :6.50 " 5.00 " I must admit, pocket carry is not my style...

    Need A Gun For My Wife, Help !!!

    As everyone else said - she should at least hold them; preferrably shoot them. If you got the bucks, she will LOVE a Springfield EMP. It's a 9mm in a 1911 style; easy to carry, easy to hold and more importantly VERY ACCURATE. If nothing else, at least let her see and hold one..... then...

    Etiquette of the FFL Transfer

    So far, I've bought all my guns using FFL. Like you, my range is also a gun store and they even offer a discount to us members. However, my range is located in an area with a 7% sales tax. When you buy a $ 1K gun, that's a chunk of change ! :what: So, I've chosen to buy over the internet...

    3" vs 4" Barrel Compact 1911

    My 2 cents Since you guys are talking 1911 style and 3" barrel, not caliber, I'll chime in about my Springfield EMP. :) It's a $1k+ gun, and the quality shows. While some have had their problems (mainly magazine/feed related), I have not had a single problem. :D It is NOT JUNK, it...

    What's It Worth ?

    I have an old Remington Model 11 12ga full choke, which I inherited from an uncle. It's in great condition, shoots fine and I know it's at least 50 years old. Can someone tell me what it's worth ? :confused: Thanks ! :)

    Who actually uses their pistol rail?

    Seems like you maybe want only professionals to respond; but I will anyway, though I'm not a professional. I'm with you in that I don't want any unnecessary things on the rail. Since I have Crimson Trace grips, I don't need a laser, only a light. I have a SIG 229 with rail, and purchased...

    How many extra magazines do you carry for your CCW?

    SIG 229 - 9mm: I use a 17rnd mag w/ 1 in chamber, so I don't carry any extra mags. Springfield EMP : Depends on where I'm headed. "Usually" I don't carry any extra mags; so I have 1 chambered + 9...

    Universal Pistol Magazine Loader?

    UpLULA I've had mine now for about 2 months and love it. I use it for both single and double-stack mags. I take a lot of mags with me to the range so I don't waste time loading there. Believe me, the UpLULA saves a ton of time even with the single stacks. More importantly, it saves a lot...

    New Springfield EMP!

    Lonestar : I couldn't find it on their web site, but to my knowledge ALL EMPs come complete with: case, lock, cleaning brush, holster + mag holster, tool bag (several items), and 3 magazines (9 rnd; 1 in the gun + 2 extra). At least that is how mine came, and I didn't negotiate any "extras"...

    The BEST Door Jamb / Stop I use the SWEGE - STANDARD SIZE: http://www.swatools.com/browse.php?c=18 It works great on carpet, and the door will have to be broken off the hinges to get past it. :neener: I haven't tried it on hard floors yet, but assume it will work just as well; it's...
