Low, green glow is good enough for me. I've got Trijicons on my S&W 3913 and Truglo on my H&K. I can't really complain. The white dots on my 3913 look about the same as the original Novak's I had during the day, but the green glow is a major upgrade at night. The Truglo's are just AWESOME, no...

Just something interesting I thought I'd share... For the past couple years, I've noticed that although I am very proficient with my array of 9mm's, which over the years have been narrowed down to a S&W 3913 for daily carry, I have never been quite as good with my .45 H&K USP Compact. T'was...

Just my $.02 ($.07 adjusted to inflation.)... Just a note, back home in South Carolina, it proves to be rather difficult for a criminal to bring civil charges against somebody acting in self-defense. It would be prudent to review the laws of your jurisdiction and understand what laws and...

You know Chisel Head, what really, REALLY scares me is the fact that the requirements to get a driver's license here are much more stringent than in the U.S.!!! You're absolutely right about the laws... It's a whole different ballgame here, that's for sure.

Chisel Head, I completely see your point. I've been in Poland for a little over a year now, and it's not too different here. To even obtain a purchase license here, you may be required to visit a psychiatrist to obtain a letter that you are of sound mind. It's a whole different ball game here...

As you can see, you're not alone on this one. I, too, am left eye, right hand dominant. If you're keeping tally, I shoot right on pistol, right on long guns. I'll also admit, it took a long time to realise that I was left eye'd. Because I had been sighting with my right eye for so long, I just...

Safetychain, you got a good deal on that one! I went through ATP and it was about $150. It was a little expensive, especially compared to the deal you got, but they do everything in one place in one day...fingerprints, classroom, range and all.

I hate to sound like a guidance counsellor on this one, but I would tell you to go with the school that best fits your academic needs and financial constraints. Even if the school allows for concealed carry, there are other obstacles you may face, such a residency requirements for a CWP or...

G29, Good choice! I don't want to venture too far out on a tangent, but you raise a good point...aside from safety, public perception certainly plays a point in the matter. I truly think the holster conveys a "I know how to safely handle a firearm" message to the public. I confess that I have...

G29, I think the best place to start would be to review the law. Guide to Law On-line for New Mexico - Library of Congress This should at least point you in the right direction. I am completely unsure of where it would be found, but it should be hidden away somewhere in the state statutes...

I've been debating between getting a new 9mm or a .45 myself. I ultimately decided on the 9, because the rounds are cheaper, which enables me to practice more, and the fact that 9mm is so much easier to find. A good, high pressure 9mm can be more than effective in a self-defense situation...it's...

Considering that a bear's skin is relatively thick, I would say a .357 magnum or higher with a heavy, soft point bullet would stand a good chance of being effective. I would be afraid that a hollow point would dump most of its energy on impact and not penetrate effectively. In contrast, a FMJ...

Personally, I don't carry concealed as its incondusive to my job and would spend most of its time in the glove box...waste of a permit if you ask me! However, I do keep a pistol in the house for self-defense and it is perfectly legal here in SC to keep a pistol in a closed glove box without a...

Hi! I'm kyle. I have always had an interest in firearms and ballistics. I live in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. We enjoy rather relaxed gun laws here which I came to discover after living in Ohio. I'm an embalmer & funeral director and realize the immense respect we should have for guns, the...

I didn't vote on this because I've never owned one either. I will say, they seem to be to the firearm world what hyundai is to automobiles. You can't beat the warranty and the price is right. Being on a budget, I would consider buying a brand new Hi Point if I could not find a used brand name...
