    I saw Glock 30 blow up today

    I don't understand why people think that Glocks are "that" perfect and are that "amazing." Do they function well? Yes. Are they ultra reliable? Yes. Are they perfect... No. Everyone that reloads notices that rectangular firing pin strike on any primer that comes out of a Glock. Back in the early...

    Smart Carry and One In The Pipe Poll Thread

    Very true Nelson, plus, the repeated chambering of a round in this nature could cause the bullet to become seated farther back in the case and increase pressure to unsafe levels... all it takes is 1/16 of an inch in .40 to double the chamber pressure... if I remember correctly. Thats a risk I...

    Which pistol/rifle combo would you carry into war?

    I think that was the most robust piece of sarcasm I've ever read! Hmm, the AR-15/M16 took a major modification to make sure it worked right (forward assist). Oh, and a piston was added a few years ago to make it better, though not everyone has jumped on that bandwagon. Hmm... Sig 550... working...

    Considering a SigSauer, tell me about 'em...

    I'm sorry, but as far as reliability goes, it is on par with just about everything else. I've done over 2500rds through mine without a hiccup. Don't believe everything you read in the magazines. Also, I don't know what dealers in your area charge for the upgrades, but I offer them for $275 a...

    HANDGUNS overbuilt for the caliber they fire?

    Honestly, all of the 9mm sigs are overbuilt for the caliber. When you look at the steel put into them and look at the SLIGHT differences between the 9mm models and the .357 and .40 models... you get my point. Also, I think that the HK USP9s ALL OF THEM are overbuilt. I recall someone...

    Smart Carry and One In The Pipe Poll Thread

    I'm sorry, but this Israeli carry stuff is total BS. In a firefight .3 seconds is a LIFETIME. I am 100% confident that I can draw my Sig with no safeties and a round in the chamber and engage my target .25 seconds quicker than anyone doing an extended .3 israeli draw could. If you are in a close...

    Smart Carry and One In The Pipe Poll Thread

    I've seen those before, another company came out with them first... Thunderwear I think it was called. I remember a training class I did... one of the instructors was italian... and... he didn't have much space for it... another was irish... he said it was quite comfortable... I'll leave that up...

    Nightstand gun

    I tend to keep my Sig P250c on the nightstand with a streamlight TLR-1 attached... no holster of course. My wife is on the other side with her Glock 22 and TLR-2... can't forget the security system...

    Considering a SigSauer, tell me about 'em...

    Across the board, for a new Sig on standard retail (with the exception of the 1911s, .380s, p250, and the 556 pistol) you are looking at $675-$900. I sell them for about $725 (p220, p226, p229) and on the p239 I run about $650. For the .380s I run from $525-650 and the P250 is on sale right now...

    Need some recommendations for a BBQ 1911

    Go with Night Hawk or STI. You'll be able to brag about how much you paid if nothing else.

    Which pistol/rifle combo would you carry into war?

    I'd go Sig 552 Commando or 550 (reliability of an AK with the accuracy of an AR) and a P220 Combat. I'm not a Sig nut, I've just fired both and I know what works well. Saudi special units carry the 552 and so do the Swiss. To me, that speaks for reliability, and I would prefer a .45 in almost...

    Anyone using shoulder holsters with any regularity for CCW?

    I'm down in Alabama and the spring and summer weather precludes me from using mine (Galco rig). However, in winter months it is a great way to carry underneath a jacket, especially the heavy ones. Another option (for winter months) is a SigTac concealed carry jacket. The holster built in are...

    I'll give a shot: .38 Special 1 3/4" barrel (less than 2" for sure) Rounded Butt 5 Shots Fixed Sights BKF52xx Model 36-7 I know the history of the gun (great grandmothers) but I don't know date of birth or purchase or anything like that, any help would be appreciated.

    Schuck schuck of pump guns

    There was an article about the validity of using a duck gun as a home defense weapon a few years back. The author said that the sound of the pump shotgun action was the most terrifying thing that an intruder can hear. However, a reader sent a response in that read: "I would prefer to have the...

    How many rounds for CCW?

    I prefer to carry my Sig and an extra mag. I don't want to end up in a situation like the officer out west during the mall shootout. When I was doing concealment training classes someone pitched a good point: That officer was carrying a 1911 and going up against a guy with an sks (I believe, I...

    Daily Carry Gear... Whats your setup?

    @Dksimon I love my P229, I'll never part with it, and it doesn't lend itself to the HK stigma (HK=BMW). I will admit though, the 229 does have snob appeal. @Treo It's good to hear that there's some doctors out there that actually carry. Are you in a hospital or a doctor's office? No...

    Daily Carry Gear... Whats your setup?

    This post is for the review of THR.org crowd. Lets talk about daily carry gear, and I don't mean for the armed professional (although I guess undercover units count). Lets be honest, theres a lot of gear out that that is said to be the best for this, the best for that, and some carry high...

    Best Fighting Shotguns (Modified or unmodified)

    @Brian I had a Winchester 1300 for quite awhile and in my memory, I would put it up there with any other pump. I believe it rattled around my trunk for about 9 months, until I replaced it with an AK pistol (hold your comments please!) and I seemed to have sold/traded it. I want one back now...

    Sig P239 DAK vs. Glock 26 vs. HK P2000SK LEM for CCW?

    @Skajsig I've been involved in one or two shooting situations, just as my boss did (and we aren't cops)... we both got our guns back. I even had a lengthy trial on one and still got it back. Unless you did something illegal with your gun... you should get it back.

    Sig P239 DAK vs. Glock 26 vs. HK P2000SK LEM for CCW?

    @Chris17404 I'm a Sig guy... and a BIG one (Certified Armorer for P series and 55x series)... but accuracy between the selection you've listed is very close. Also, capacity on the Glock 26 and HK are identical, the Sig lags in that department. However, I do like the DAK trigger, and the LEM...
