    PM9 pocket carry

    I pocket carry 100% of the time. S&W J Frame, Kahr PM9 and I even carry a Ruger SR9C in my pocket occassionally. People don't notice. If they do, they don't say anything. If someone ever did say anything, I would look at them funny and ask why they were checking out my junk.

    Fancy hand guns vs. plain ones

    I have to admit. I want it all. I want a pretty gun that is a good shooter. If it wears and it is no longer pretty, I can get another.

    Issues with Taurus 617 Titanium

    If it has a titanium cylinder, you have to be careful not to scratch or rub off any of the protective coating. Once the coating is gone, the titanium will burn and pit when it gets hot (near forcing cone).

    Help with taurus 380 tcp

    My TCP has been 100%. I own a LCP, P3AT & TCP. Shooting Times magazine recently did a comparison between 380's from Kahr, S&W, Ruger, Kel-Tec & Taurus. The Kahr won the Top Scorer award and the TCP won the Best Value award. It got the highest mark for reliability and came in a quick 2nd to...

    Ammunition storage

    I'm thinking of storing my ammo in my gun safe. It is rated fire resistant for 30 minutes up to 1400° F. It says the maximum interior temperature in the safe during testing was 350° F. At what temp would ammo explode or "go off"?

    Taurus TCP or Ruger LCP

    I vote TCP. The trigger and sights are better than my LCP. It locks back after the last round too.

    Bersa Thunder .380 problem

    If all you did was reposition the disconnector spring back into the groove then you really did not "fix" the problem. It will pop out again. If it is only a range gun, then don't worry about it. If you plan to rely on your Bersa in a SHTF situation, then contact Colorado Gun Works and get...

    Do you care if you "print"?

    When I first started pocket carrying, I was concerned about printing and I was paranoid that "everyone knows". After a while I relaxed and realized that nobody notices. If I sit down in an open area I usually put my hand on my lap to cover my gun. It prints real bad when I'm sitting down.

    My journey to my perfect CCW

    For me a gun is like a tool. I carry a different gun depending on where I'm going, when I'm going, how long I'm gone and what the climate is. I carry a Ruger LCP for a quick run to the convenience store with shorts on at noon on a 100 degree July day. I carry a Ruger SR9 if I'm going...

    Ruger is at it again....

    I checked the Ruger website this morning and it states that "Ruger has undoubtedly created the next firearm that you absolutely must own!". It then states to check back Monday January 3rd at 2:00 PM. Any thoughts? I'm hoping for a PF9 clone this time. :)

    Smallest DA/SA 9mm's?

    I think the H&K P2000SK should be a consideration.

    I'm working on my S&W .357 Straight Flush

    Here is a pic of my S&W .357 magnums: 340SC - 5 shot 66 - 6 shot 686 - 7 shot 627 - 8 shot How long do you think I will need to wait for S&W to make a 4 or 9 shot to complete my straight flush? :D

    New PF9

    PF9's usually do well if you keep them cleaned and lubed.

    A Word of Caution About Hornady Critical Defense FTX Ammunition

    I don't know if it has been brought up, but just because Hornaday has stated that their critical defense round is not designed to shoot through glass or walls does not immediately mean that all other self defense rounds are. Maybe others will fail also?

    Pocket Carry Factors

    IMO grip height is most critical. Width will just make a bigger bulge. Height as the potential of causing the butt to be exposed. A grip that is too long (tall) can prevent or delay you from presenting your weapon and that could be deadly at the wrong time.

    Newbie question - close slide by racking or by pressing slide stop

    I have been told that using the slide release can cause wear (since it is metal on metal) to a point where the slide stop may stop working. If you pull back on the slide after inserting a full mag, the slide stop will move down and out of the way so when you let go there will be no metal wear.
