    Beretta NANO owners

    I have one with maybe 250 rounds through it. It is very concealable, including for pocket carry. I think it shoots well although the trigger pool is a bit long. Good effort though. I am happy with it and intend to keep it.

    I drew good duty this week

    I was fortunate enough to tour their Springfield, MA facility a couple of years ago. That was the most amazing factory tour I have ever taken (and I have taken a LOT of them for my former jobs). It was an incredibly diverse mix of old and new technologies. In one area, there were workers...

    Traffic Stop

    xcgates, If your Ducati is like mine was, the speedo reads so optimistically high, that you probably aren't speeding after all! When mine read 80, the actual speed was 72. Of course, Ducatis being what they are, your speedo could be dead-on accurate, who knows?

    Cross-eye dominant shooters; advice please.

    I'm right-handed and left-eye dominant, too. When shooting handguns, I simply turn my head a bit. When I first started shooting, it was with a shotgun and I didn't know I was left-eye dominant, so I have always shot right-handed. When bird hunting, I keep both eyes open and have no problems...

    PPS Comparison

    I'll try to take some photos over the wknd of my PPS, G27 and MP 45c. Of the three, my default carry is the PPS. It fits into the front pocket of cargo pants or baggy shorts. It is easily concealable under t-shirts or polo shirts, which are what I wear most of the time. I'm a big fan of the PPS...

    Best CPL class in Southeastern Michigan

    If you're in the Royal Oak area, Target Sports has a good course. The instructor, Jim (whose last name I now forget), is a Detroit police officer and a good guy. You will spend a fair amount of time on the range there, shooting about 150 rounds or so, including off-hand shooting. It's an...

    Walther PPS or Sig Sauer P238 in .40??

    I currently have a PPS and previously owned a 239. The PPS is much lighter and thinner, so it is much easier to carry, IMO. In that regard, there's simply no comparison. I found I can shoot the PPS more accurately with more rapid follow-up shots. In my experience, the 239 had more muzzle...

    Have you ever had problems with your Glock?

    Nope. I have a Gen 3 G27 that has been perfectly reliable. Not even a hint of a problem. I'm not even a big Glock fan, but the thing works every time, no fuss.

    Walther PPs .40S&W New carry gun

    Wow, that's a great deal! I bought one new last summer and absolutely love it. It's my everyday carry pistol; none of my others are even nearly as comfortable to carry. I have been very impressed with how accurate it is, too. I had a few FTEs for the first 100 rounds or so, but after that it...

    S&w m&p 45, mid-size

    That sounds like a pretty good price. I have the compact and like it a lot. It shoots well and recoil is quite manageable. I use mine as my CCW sometimes. It works pretty well in that role, IMO.

    PM9/PPS/Other Small CCW - How/where do you carry?

    In summer, I usually carry my PPS in a Galco front pocket holster if I'm wearing baggier shorts or trousers. If I'm wearing more snug-fitting trousers, I carry it in either a cheap IWB or High Noon tuckable IWB holster if I need to tuck in a shirt.

    3 Choices for CCW. Which one?

    I bought a PPS in .40 cal and absolutely love it. I CCW it in a GALCO pocket holster in the summer and bought it for that very reason. It is also more comfortable in IWB carry than my Glock 27. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well I shot it at the range. There was very little muzzle...

    SigSauer vs. Glock

    I started off with the Sig 239 in .40 cal, largely because of the DA/SA feature. For my first carry pistol, I figured having a hammer-fired pistol with magazine disconnect safety was the right choice for me. But I was just never quite thrilled with the 239 due to its relatively higher weight...

    .40 decisions

    I shot both the M&P 40c and Glock 23 back-to-back a couple of months ago while I was going through the same decision-making process. In my case, I was able to shoot the M&P better than the Glock. I found the M&P's ergonomics to be superior and easier to get back on target quickly. In my view...

    Wrecked My Motorcycle Today: CCW Still Intact

    Glad you and your bike came through w/ minimal damage. I laid my bike over last summer in a low-speed turn as a result of several one-in-a-thousand factors hitting at once. It angered me more than anything at the time. But once you hit 35 yrs old or so, even the little things take a while to...

    Very self-conscious with my first concealed carry rig (G17)

    I, too, just received my carry permit and started carrying this weekend. My new M&P 45c hasn't arrived yet, so I carried my HiPower clone instead. I felt it stood out like I was trying to conceal the cat on my waistband. But no one, not even my wife, noticed I was carrying anything. The feeling...

    How is it possible?

    Actually, the News is a more conservative paper. It's the Free Press that is suitable only for carpeting bird cages.
