    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...

    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.

    How did vintage plain clothes detectives carry their sidearms?

    I am most familiar with Dallas PD in the late 70’s. The vast majority of Officers carried a 5 shot 36 off duty. A model 60 if you were lucky and got to the Police supply first when a shipment came in. Usually carried in a suede inside the waistband holster at about 4:00. Sometimes, clipped...

    New NAA Product Release

    I have a Seecamp also. They have a tendency to whack the bottom of my trigger finger with the trigger guard. Gets pretty tiresome after 20-30 rounds. I had Keltec .32. Gave it to a buddy. That was stupid. The locked breech was infinitely more shootable.

    What is the nicest gun you were ever given as a gift?

    I’ve been really blessed. I have received a number of guns. But. Absolute top of the heap would be the engraved Walther PP my dad received as a gift from the Walther Factory when he (not alone) took it over at the end of WWII. Then a great 629 engraved with my badge number and name from a great...

    New NAA Product Release

    I have a .32 Guardian. It’s a neat little gun. But, blowback. A blowback .380, the same size as a 9mm breech locked 9mm Kahr K9…seems a non starter to me. (And, I’m carrying Kahr K9 as I type.).

    New NAA Product Release

    A remake of the old top break S&W .32 bicycle revolver would make my break out the CC. (The nickel one in polished stainless)

    Do you own a Glock?

    Yes. My original issued Glock 35. We were able to buy them back from GT Distributirs for $350 I think. And, my Glock 22 my Police association bought for me when I retired. Both were special runs by Glock with our badge number in the serial number. DDx-127 on the 35. The 22 is the Dept...

    Buck 110 - A good choice

    That knife was everywhere at one time. On GI Belts. Cop Sam Browns. Construction workers mechanics. I still have my original one. I got bored one day and completely rounded all the edges. Felt like a used bar of soap. Strangely, I gravitated towards the Gerber Sportsman’s models. A little...
