    Affordable clone of Benchmade SOCP Dagger

    I get it. I don’t particularly like it. But, I understand. The Benchmade is, well pretty much just a 440C shank. I have no idea what Benchmade makes off of each one. And, I want to see companies make money. And, there’s no question China can make everything cheaper. But, some of the knife...

    Glock Oiling, How Dry

    Sidebar. The old Dallas PD Armorer used to get guns in (S&W model 10’s and 64’s). Completely strip them, made sure they timed up etc. vatted them and got every drop of oil out of them. Then hosed them down. Inside and out with silicone spray. Used compressed air to blow them out and, sent...

    Most fun gun

    My dear friend shooting my “dainty gun”. My very first handgun. A Colt Diamondback .22. Still fun. Tens of Thousands of rounds of .22 Wildcat through that little gun. Next would likely be a little Ruger Take Down .22 with a match trigger group and a red dot that was a gift from a friend.

    Rear bag suggestions?

    Socks and a nylon bag I found at Walmart. Filled with Aquarium Gravel. Also from Walmart. I put it in a heavy duty Ziplock bag first. I have a throw bag I made. Duffel bag filled with rubber mulch from Home Depot. Tied, wrapped over. Tied again. My son using it as a rest out of the back of his...

    Looking for a Handgun for Work

    Hmm. Not often the discussion comes around about using your handgun as an impact weapon. We actually trained for that. If (big if) you need to use a gun as an impact weapon, you want to strike with the top of the slide. Swing like a ridge hand. It’s a big flat hard surface area and, has...

    Looking for a Handgun for Work

    Well. Two takeaways. A: Many are carrying Glocks I’d bet. B: This should give you an idea of the quality of your co workers. I’d probably tell the majority of them to carry with an empty chamber also.

    Looking for a Handgun for Work

    I’m old school. You are gonna be carrying that gun a lot more than using it. Having carried full size duty guns. And extra magazines, for 36 years, it gets old. Personally, I’d carry a 4” model 10. Or Model 64. Skinny barrel. Find a good used Bianchi or Don Hume thumbsnap duty holster on...

    Glock Oiling, How Dry

    We had Glock 35’s and 23’s for 10 years, then switched to Glock 22’s. I was responsible for annual inspections for the Officers in my unit. About 15. I honestly don’t recall any guns needing any parts replaced. We replaced recoil springs every few years. If I knew the Officer was a shooter...

    Glock Oiling, How Dry

    I was a Glock inspector at my department. I saw dripping wet Glocks. I saw dry as a bone Glocks. I’ve never seen one fail because of too much oil. Or, too little oil. And, I’m not a Glock fanboy. I had to give up a Colt 1911 to get an issue Glock. They fit my hand like the wrong end of a...

    Compact/Micro 9mm Suggestions?

    I made it. Thread here: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/sig-p365-extended-thumb-safety.911541/

    Glock triggers - help me please.

    The race has been on, for years, to make a Glock “feel” like a 1911. Some have gotten close. It’s now a cocked and unlocked 1911. If the trigger sucks, buy a different gun. I had to carry Glocks for almost 15 years. They are tough, reliable guns, with crappy triggers. That’s it. Learn to...

    Compact/Micro 9mm Suggestions?

    With just a little work. It feels like a baby 1911…even a safety you can shoot thumb high. 😁

    Size, weight, power....

    The absolute smallest and lightest I own is an American Derringer All aluminum .38 Special. That’s a beach gun for me. (Actually…my Bauer .25 or one of my Seecamps may be, dimensionally smaller) At the other end of the spectrum I suppose would be a 6.5” model 29. With a lot of in between...

    Anyone else uses vastly different guns for carry?

    I generally prefer DA. Sig P239 in 9mm and 357 Sig. Sig P229. All with DAK triggers. A Ruger SP101. A Kahr K9. My only outlier is an Sig P365 with a manual safety. But. I carried a 1911 for 20 years. Shot thousands of rounds in IPSC. When I pick up Glock. And often other autos…My thumb still...

    Compact/Micro 9mm Suggestions?

    I’ve owned a bunch. Still have a Kahr K9. It’s a very flat revolver with a great “DA” trigger. And, I can shoot a DA trigger. Ounce for ounce, there’s nothing close to the Sig P365. As an old 1911 guy, I love the manual safety. It is, for all practical purposes, a cocked and locked pistol...

    What 9mm Defensive Ammunition do You Carry?

    A few years ago I bought a couple cases of the XM9001. Kind of a very hot Federal 9BP or a slightly reduced 9BPLE. The 115 gr +P+. Really cheap. Supposedly, it was the RCMP load. If I carry a 9mm, that’s what’s in it. It was cheap. I have a lot of it. It runs well. I know where it hits. I...

    9mm 1911 ,who would want one ?

    I picked up a SA EMP4 kind of on a whim, just because of ammo cost vs .45. Got rid of the Ambi safety. Added a lowered safety. Made a Selous Scout holster for it. I rather like it.

    Best refinish for S&W model 10

    I’ve got a few old guns that could use a refinish. But. Why? (And, mind you, I’ve had a few refinished). From a practical standpoint, it’s a money losing proposition. You will have $500-700 in a $350 dollar, refinished gun. If you want a more durable finish, trade it in a a S&W model 64 or...

    Do you carry a handgun in and around the house?

    Kinda hate to tell you this, but daytime burglaries are, by far, the most common. Your average burglar isn’t particularly violent. They just wanna grab stuff and run away. They have no desire to kick the door of an occupied dwelling. So, their work hours are the same as everyone else. 9-5...

    Do you carry a handgun in and around the house?

    On me. Always. It started when my kids were small. I didn’t have to worry about where my gun was. If it was secure etc. it’s on me. In a holster.
