    California Business Trip - thoughts?

    Ok, please don't say don't go, and please don't spell California with a K. :rolleyes: I will be flying to a resort in California for business for about 4 days (carry-on bag only). I'll take my mini-maglight with me, but likely nothing else SD-related. What other weapon would you recommend...

    Business Trip to NYC - Help!

    Flying to New York City for business in two weeks. Carry won't be possible in NY. Couple questions: What is the best weapon I can take with me on the plane? Mini-Maglight? I can't really check any baggage, it's only a 2-day trip and I need to hustle from plane to client. What would you...

    Conceal from... your kids?

    Background: I carry every day and have for a few years - either S&W snub in my pocket or P2000SK IWB. I am confident the weapons are well concealed. I have 3 kids, 12, 10 and 5. Question: How does anyone out there similarly situated handle the kids? My kids have been taught gun safety, and...

    Shipping Magazines to Canada?

    Sorry for a dull as dust thread, but I'm trying to sell some mags, and a guy in Canada wants to buy them. Any issues shipping "gun parts" internationally?

    CCW Year 2 Update

    I used to read and post a lot, but I haven't been on in a couple months, just wanted to share 2 stories as I am halfway through my second year of everyday CCW: 1) Started a new job in September - nothing posted about CCW on premises - SWEET! Oops, in the employee manual, bringing a gun on...

    Gentle Re-Shape of Kydex Anyone?

    I think I've got a kydex holster coming that may not quite fit. I ordered a CTAC for a PX-4 full size - with an inch cut off - to use with a Sub-Compact. Now I've read somewhere that the take-down lever on the SC is different, and sticks out a tiny bit, causing problems with pure kydex holsters...

    Discreet Shipping Poll

    Am I the only one that hates ordering a holster (or any gun item) and having the packaging broadcast its contents to the mailman and nosy neighbors. :fire: A holster I ordered came the other day and in about 47 font it says HOLSTER FOR CONCEALED CARRY, or something like that. :banghead: I...

    Best "Generic Fit" IWB

    I have a new carry piece, and it doesn't yet have any holsters available. I have a line on a custom kydex maker, but Any recommendations as to the best IWB generic holster? It's about the size of a Glock 26 (Beretta PX-4). I have a super cheap Uncle Mike's that I already owned, and it works...

    Beretta PX-4 Sub-Compact - Mine, mine, mine!!

    My first choice in CCW, Beretta PX-4 Sub-Compact in 9mm, has finally been released! I ordered one in May 2007 because they were supposed to be out that June. I was in the market for a new CCW piece at a gun show today (looking primariliy for an HK P2000SK) and stumbled into the PX-4, first...

    Best FEEDING 9mm JHP

    Ok, for a slightly finicky 9mm :(, what brand/style JHP ammo have you found feeds most reliably? I've been using Winchester Ranger +Ps b/c I can get them for $21/50 (and thus practice with them extensively). They feed fine until my gun gets dirty (say, 200rds). I know I won't shoot 200 rounds...

    Reliability Standards for CCW - 2?s

    Obviously reliability is paramount in a defensive firearm. I purchased a pricy NIB auto for CCW that would not feed hollowpoints (brand has overall great reputation for reliability - don't want to cloud this thread with brand issues). Disappointing, but not the end of the world (better to...

    SIG P239 to buy, or not to buy...

    I went to the shop to order an H&K P2000SK, but encountered an interesting NIB SIG P239 "concealed carry package," which just means the gun in Nitron finish, night sights, 3 mags, and 2 SIG branded paddle holsters, one for the gun and one for the 2 extra mags. All for $756. I really like...

    Kahr Black v Stainless?

    So looking to get a Kahr, and they charge extra for the black matte finish? Can anyone enlighten me? Why would I want stainless or black? Does the black wear well? If I read correctly, it's the same stainless slide, just coated with the black stuff, right? Thanks!! FT

    What do you carry when you can't carry?

    I posted this in handguns, because I'm hoping to get the opinion of those that regularly choose to carry a handgun - what's the next best thing when carry is not an option? :confused: Ohio has a weak (but improving) carry law. I carry 100% of the time I'm allowed, but I also follow the law...

    Glock Grip Reduction? Anyone?

    I was seduced by the LEO discount on a Glock 26 for a CCW piece. I do like it (can't beat the size, power, and reliability), but find myself wanting to tweak it to make it better for me. If I had a do-over, I might buy something else, but for now I'm considering a grip reduction to improve...

    Please help compare Glock 26 & HK P2000SK

    I'm trying to decide on one of these guns for carry. I'm most interested in a concealability / ease-of-carry comparison (I think I have a handle on the "feature" comparison, but feel free to offer thoughts). Note, I don't care about the money difference, so please don't say "for the price...

    H&K Width vs. Glock

    I can't get access to either of these guns easily, can someone help? I'm looking at replacing a Glock (at least for carry) with either a P2000SK, or a USPc for IWB carry. HK website specs: the USPc says it is 1.14" wide, and the P2000SK is 1.28" wide. Can anyone shed light on the...

    M&P45 for CCW?

    I carry every day, and I've got small pistols covered: j-frame, Glock 26, Ruger LCP (on order). I also have a huge, double-stack 9mm (Taurus PT92) that I've never carried. I think I now want a nice, full-size but slim, single-stack pistol for a carry alternative. I considered a 1911, but the...
