    Optic or no optic on your defense handgun?

    This is an interesting thread. Particularly the comments saying that practicing with an optic teaches one to align iron sights quicker. I have never owned or used an optic on a handgun. I did get to shoot a fellows competition gun that had an optic on it. I expressed an interest in handgun...

    Aftermarket Recoil Pad

    It printed to scale. They had a ruler on the edge of the page that printed so you could place a tape measure or rule on it & make sure it is to scale.

    Aftermarket Recoil Pad

    I looked at the template & it looks like it might barely overhang on the two oval ends but everything else looks good. I think I'm going to try it. If I do have to fit it maybe it will be less work.

    Aftermarket Recoil Pad

    Thanks, I may try one. I haven't tried to match it up yet but I printed out the template for their pre-fit pad. I'm going to try to match it up & see if it looks right. If it doesn't I may have to round up a belt sander & try the grind to fit route.

    How long do the Kick-Eez pads usually last?

    Aftermarket Recoil Pad

    That makes sense. I have an old Limbsaver slip on. Should I just stick with it or is there anything better out there?

    Aftermarket Recoil Pad

    So, I have an old U.S.R.A.C Winchester model 70 Ranger I bought back in 1989. It is chambered for .30-06 & weighs about 7 1/2 pounds with scope sling & everything. It has a featherweight barrel contour but wears an inexpensive birch stock. Cheapo push feed model 70 but it has served me well. I...

    If you could only have 5 handguns?

    Depressing concept but here goes. Out of what I already own I would keep: S&W M&P 2.0 40 Compact 4" PSA Compact Dagger SR 1911 5" Dan Wesson model 15-2 Ruger Max 9 I would only be dropping two handguns but I am planning on remedying that situation by acquiring another soon.

    Glock triggers - help me please.

    Good video. Not a Glock but I have a Dagger (gen 3 G-19 clone). Glock guys like to hate on its trigger. When I went to see my buddy I asked his ex competition shooter neighbor to shoot it & tell me what he thought of the trigger. My friend has a range in his front yard with about a dozen 6" & 8"...

    Tech Sights?

    Ordered them. It may be a while before I get to install them & check them out. I'm doing the overtime thing right now so I'm getting together what I need to make some of my guns more useful. Later on when I have more time I will get things sat up.

    Tech Sights?

    I have a few old Marlin/Glenfield .22 rifles. One model 60 with a 22" barrel, an older Glenfield bolt action & a Glenfield model 75C. The 22" barreled rifles are scoped. I have always liked the idea of keeping iron sights on the model 75C as it has a shorter barrel. I just like the idea of...

    problem with an AR-type rifle

    i am another that suspects it might just need a good cleaning. I had a couple of failures to extract the first time I took my AR to the range. It is an economically priced Mforgery put together from a PSA kit. It didn't occur to me that I should clean the barrel before shooting as it was new. I...

    Why I Think Open Carry Isn't Wiser than Concealed Carry (In Most Instances/For Most People)

    So I've carried for a while. I live in the Metro Atlanta area. I choose to conceal unless I am in an area where the population is less dense. I haven't hunted in a while because life gets in the way but I have been known to open carry when I go to the woods. For me less people equals less chance...

    Compact/Micro 9mm Suggestions?

    If you like Ruger I would suggest you look at the Ruger Max 9. I have one & like it. It has more capacity than a LC9s but there is very little difference in size between the two. It is available with or without an external safety. https://www.handgunhero.com/compare/ruger-lc9s-vs-ruger-max-9

    Respect (or lack there of) for older Gun Writers

    In all honesty I never really did the gun magazine thing much. Growing up my dad wasn't a gun guy. In my 30's I got into hunting. I made it a point to have adequate firearms to be able to hunt whatever I wanted to. I married late & when my oldest two girls were about a year and a half and two...

    What would make you get rid of a gun that had nothing wrong with it? (Kind of a random ramble)

    If I decide I don't like a gun for whatever reason it probably wont be around long. I do have at least one that I keep around for sentimental reasons but for the most part if I don't like it it leaves. I usually sell & roll the money into the next one.

    S&W SD9VE 9mm or a Taurus?

    I have been a bit reluctant to reply to this thread & most likely the OP has already bought something but here goes. I've only owned one Taurus auto. It was a PT-111 Millenium Pro G2. It did work. I sold it off because the blued finish was weak & I strongly disliked the trigger. The trigger...
