    Holster Question-Blade Tech vs Fist

    I'm looking for a kydex IWB for my new Springfield XD9 subcompact. I want something as thin and as close to "Mexican carry" feel as possible. The XD is thick enough without a bunch of thickness from the holster. Both the BladeTech Nano and Fist very thin kydex claim to offer this. Can anyone...

    Kel-tec told me 8 week turnaround

    I agree with huduguru. I would love it if Ruger did with the PF-9 what they did with the P-3at. My LCP is my EDC until I save up enough for an XD9 subcompact

    Kel-tec told me 8 week turnaround

    Over a month after sending my Kel-Tec PF-9 back for failures to extract at least once a magazine, I finally emailed them just to make sure they got it. I got several blunt, non-helpful emails from them, from which I gleaned that their turnaround is now 8 weeks. My Kel-tec will have then been...

    Compact for concealed carry help (Newb)

    Everyone here keep in mind this new friend of ours is in Austin, TX, where the average temperature in the summer is about 105-110 degrees. He's going to need something that will be concealable under a t-shirt. Lots of folks like Kahrs, but I agree, for first gun, go with the big names. Glock...

    CW9 vs PF-9

    Well, I just got a PF-9 today and I'm hoping it works out. It seems to be the AK-47 of CC handguns. I used to have a Kahr P9 and was sad to have to sell it. The damn thing just kept dropping mags on me. The mag catch is very small, and you don't have to push too hard or deeply to drop the...

    Beretta 92: Anyone's First Choice?

    I simply can't say enough good things about the Beretta 92/96. They are glock reliable and better than match-grade 1911 accurate. They are safe and feel great in the hand. I would not hesitate to stake my life on one, if I had to. That being said, they aren't carry guns. They're pretty much...

    Magazines..loaded/unloaded

    "I've heard the expression that to a combat pilot, there's nothing more useless than altitude above and runway behind." And the only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire!

    Choosing a cheap gun...not by choice...

    It sounds like you'll only be carrying to/from and during your pharmacist job. Don't Y'all wear lab coats? You could conceal a colt peacemaker in there. Go for the Sigma, get the rebate. You'll never carry more than 1 reload, and with the $50 back you can get some good defense ammo (Federal...

    That new Bersa

    Hey Y'all Here's a link to an article about a new single stack 9/40. Looks like Bersa is throwing their hat into that ring too. I was racking my brain between a k/mk 9, pps, or taurus 709, but I think I'll wait until this comes out and have a look. I'm pretty skinny and my wife dresses me...

    In what condition do you store your gun?

    Thanks everyone! I did I search before I posted, but was unable to find the thread. I appreciate all the good info. I didn't realize about the physics of springs before. After reading the responses I did some research in a physics textbook. It turns out each spring has a constant, K, and if...

    In what condition do you store your gun?

    I have 3 guns (XD .40, Ruger LCP, Kahr P9) that I either carry concealed or keep for home defense. The XD is in a drawer by my bed, and I keep the other 2 in a drawer by the front door for convienence. Here's my question for those more knowledgeable than myself: in what condition should I...

    Questions for shooters with Lasik or PRK

    get prk. It's more tried and true, and accepted by more organizations. I have a little starring at night but I don't notice it anymore. I fly helicopters for the Navy just fine, with no problems shooting.

    Open Carry in Texas

    "I'm also curious what the opinion of the LEO's in the open carry state. Do they believe it helps deter crime? Do they feel it's more of a hassle for them?" My twin brother's a cop in Charlotte, NC, where open carry is allowed without a permit and cc is allowed with one. He tells me the...

    pulled over with my gun condition 1 omg!!!

    It seems cop reactions to armed folks are pretty varied. My bro's a cop in Charlotte, NC, and his training tells him to ask if he can hang on to the gun during the traffic stop or pedestrian stop, and either leave it in the person's trunk or give it back to him unloaded and ask him to wait...

    My wife has asked me to get my kids handguns for Christmas ...

    My first gun was a Beretta 92 (M9) my dad got me for my commissioning (Navy). Cannot reccomend it highly enough. You can even carry it concealed if you carry it in a messenger bag (a cross-slung man purse popular with my generation). props to your son for being tip of the spear

    Help with suggestions for Wife's first pistol.

    I agree with speedsix. My wife fired all my handguns, and fell in love with the last one I would have picked for her- My Colt 1911 .45! She is now better than me with it (and I'm no slouch) and is working on getting a CWP for it (she's looking at carry purses and messenger bags. In other...
