    Why holsters are important for safe carry...

    Ouch! I hope they were able to keep his gun (the one for fun) in proper working order. The only pistol I have carried without a holster is a Custom II that had pachmayr rubber grips on it. The slimness of the pistol combined with the wider area of the sticky grips, made it fairly easy. But, I...

    Dropped my Glock. boohoo

    Ya, im over it at this point. I know it is kind of dumb to even worry about it at all (especially since there was no visible damage whatsoever. The smoothness of the cement helped). That was the point of the post, though.

    Cz p-07

    I wasn't really in to the p-07, seeing it online and in magazines, but I handled one in the store and I was impressed. The fit and finish seems good and I like that it has many of the traits my PCR had (half-cock, similar feel on the decocker, similar feel on the trigger). I had kind of...

    Dropped my Glock. boohoo

    I keep mentally kicking my own ass for not zipping up my backpack pocket before I swung it over my shoulder, sending my pristine g4m26 into an aerial flat spin that ended abruptly with a CLACK! on the garage floor. The TTGunleather Slim IWB I had it in received a couple of nicks, but the spin...

    "Geez, it's just a Glock"...

    I think the, "it's just a glock," comments are just sort of a reflex. I'd say that it is more apt to use that phrase if someone is moaning about dropping their Glock, concerned that they broke something, when it has no apparent damage, or some other situation where their Glock has been abused...

    Why choose a 1911?

    I use my thumb safety to get my mainspring housing pin out about 75% of the time. I don't hammer on it with my slide, though. I don't hammer on it with anything. I just put upward pressure on the MSH by pushing on the bottom edge of the MSH (the butt of the pistol) on the edge of a table...

    Any city slickers here..

    Seattle area. Grew up on a lake, across the bridge from Seattle. Seattle is nice, especially around lake Washington. Although it is a heavily populated and developed area, the trees hide it somewhat. I went to college in southern California and when I would come back up, the biggest change...

    looking for a good carry 9mm

    so the g26 is too small? i know many oin here will say that the g19 isnt much bigger and therefore the better choice, but I love my g26. It is an extremely handy size with a small pinky extension (pearce model with no capacity increase) and with a flat mag baseplate it really hides in an IWB...

    Why not 1911 .45's

    This is what I call a dead horse, gentlemen. I, for one, am a die-hard fan of the 1911. Stripping them down and building them back up, while inspecting and perfecting all the components is very calming to me, almost like my meditation time. I love the feel of a truly perfect fit. Solid is...

    Idiots like this give the press more anti ammo

    Oh man. This is ridiculous. I am going to find out everything I can about the facts of the incident, but this seems like casual attempted murder, simple as that. I believe people have the right to protect themselves and their property, but i do not think that protecting yourself from an...

    Which 9mm for +P?

    hey hardluk, when you use the word "know," it is not the same as the word "no." Know is the verb form of the noun "knowledge." I think you meant to use the word "no." Know offense, just trying to help you avoid making such a mistake (it being one which spellcheck wouldn't avoid) on a...

    Rock Island 1911 Tactical.

    is it just me, or do the ball cuts on the front of the slide look like they curve down toward the muzzle? Maybe that is the style of this gun, but it seems a little of to me. Nice looking overall though, getting new ball cuts, the kind that go more staight back, would be cool anyways.

    Nice "Classroom" Scene, 20/20!

    The only point they proved was one we all already know to be true: An ambush is very effective and a gun drawn beats a gun in a holster. But, I don't think anyone of us with a brain thinks that we can defeat someone who is already aiming down on us when we don't have our weapon drawn...

    .45 LC Single Action for "defense" ?

    I'd echo the "beats a sharp stick" comment. Wouldn't be my choice, but certainly effective if you are proficient.

    30 days on FX Gun nation

    I am not involved in the gun culture like these people (city boy, for the most part), but I was glad they didn't act like some rednecks. that was absolutely a great show, though. I need it on a file so i can show it to those anti's with their emotional knee jerk responses. So many people...

    Texas man cleared of shooting suspected burglars

    I agree with your first statement, just not your second.

    Texas man cleared of shooting suspected burglars

    By wrong I mean he felt it was wrong. He knew he did not have to take those lives and I think he knew it wasn't so clear cut as he may have thought before. If you want to argue about what is legal and illegal, thats fine, but right and wrong doesnt always coincide with those terms.

    Texas man cleared of shooting suspected burglars

    What gets me is his eagerness to be a hero as he perceived it and protect his neighbors property. So willing to go out of his way to do what he wanted to believe was right. He had no fear for his life before he exited the house with his gun and as I perceive it, none when outside...
