    PF-9 with laser

    I bought a slightly usde PF9 with a CAT laser. Too much kick for the previous owner. He traded for a G26. The little laser works pretty well for me. Easy to adjust to pretty much dead on and takes a single, quick change, coin battery that lasts, evidently, for years. Stays adjusted when I...

    Best self defense 45acp ammo for bedside

    I use mostly WWB FMJs for range and I have fired about 150 WWB JHPs without a hickup so that is my defense choice. All 230 gr in a Ruger KP90. Too big for me to use as a carry gun but I love it for a home car or boat gun.

    Cops and Armed Citizens

    I don't personally know many LEOs. I do know our sheriff because of some political issues, but we only discuss those issues. But our FOP lodge has a great outdoor range with room for everything from pistols to high power rifles at 200 yards. And their membership, I'm one, is over half non-LEO...

    buy a handgun? No Way-

    There's no such thing as a better .45 ACP. Unless it's a KP90. ;-)

    Anchoring safe to floor, and ....oops?

    Never use silicone for that purpose. Use 3M 5200. It is an adhesive and it is TOUGH.

    Florida and Belly Bags

    If the bag is worn it is a concealed weapon and you better have your CWP.

    I would not want to be caught without a CWP.

    Have "Rails", run their course in handguns

    For my use, the laser is just in the way on the .380 Kelty. It's a carry it when I can't conceal anything else gun, any use would be in bright light, probably in a mall or WW parking lot, and the laser probably wouldn't be visible any way. As I said, JMHO and what works for me.

    Have "Rails", run their course in handguns

    I am partially paralyzed and have difficulty getting around. I frequently have to use a walker to get around in the house and carrying things is sometimes difficult. Even on my best days I have to steady myself on something as i walk around. So I really need to be able to do everything one...

    How much does bullet weight affect POI?

    I learned, at the range, that I practice with ammo as close as I can to what I carry. I use 95 gr jhp for range and SD in my Kel-Tec P3AT. It is a tiny gun with a sorta weak load and I like solids for SD in it. So the same load for range or SD. 9mm I have settled on 115 gr for range and SD...

    brass backstop / catcher

    When I go to the FOP range here I take an old queen size sheet and spread it on my right side. It seems to catch most of it.

    A lengthy story on how Gaston Glock rose to the top of the handgun pile

    I have a Glock and I love it. But it will NEVER replace the P Series Rugers. Better guns for less money, but they are rather big and heavy. The Compact Glocks are better for most carry purposes.

    Pet Peeve about guys who carry and dont seem to realize they are wearing a gun.

    I don't OC, it's illegal in Florida. But I can relate to bumping things. I spent 30 years as a welding inspector on major construction projects. I know exactly where my head is and I never bump it. But I had to wear a hard hat. And I never, even after 30 years, learned exactly where it is. I...

    Something that bugs me about CHL's & Media

    I am a87 YO, 200 pound male. However, due to some medications for heart issues, 25 or 30 pounds of that is pure fat. Bad back, bad hips, bad knees and nerve issues that have reduced my physical strength to somewhat less than many women I know. In other words, my 110 pound, 20 YO grandaughter...

    This is a Red Dawn thread!!!

    That I love. "Red Dawn" is a great movie. I just watched it again about 2 weeks ago. A remake? I'll let someone else review it.

    If you HAD both, which would you carry? 642 or PF-9?

    I have a P3AT and a PF9. Both are reliable as Sunrise. I like the size and weight of both. Easily slip into a pants pocket or IWB holster. I have a G19 that I carry whenI am wearing a coat, winter time not suit coat. I'm retired and don't get that dressed up. But even when I carry the Glock, the...

    co2 instead of .22 for practice?

    I'm thinking of the same thing. And I can even set up a little range on the patio and maybe keep some critters away from my tomatoes.

    Kel-Tec pf-9

    I have a PF9 and I love it. I have never had any problems and never did a "Fluff & Buff". It just hasn't been necessary. It is NOT a range gun, a target gun or a "let's go plink" gun. It is a Self Defense gun, period. Small, light, reliable, long, stiff trigger, no external safety and very...

    annoying weapons mistakes on Life On Mars

    And in "Quantum of Solace" the BGs are flying to Europe and leave on a Gulfstream. They land in a Lear and get off a Challenger at the terminal. Drives me crazy too.

    Wish List...

    The only gun I really want to add right now is a Kel-Tec SUB2000 9mm to take Glock 19 mags. Not much of a dream, but I'm too old to dream to big.
