I have a Draco. I tried for years to use it safely with a sling and forward pressure, but eventually decided it was too easy to accidentally double (grip tightening under recoil) and without a stock the muzzle jittered well away from my target while I was riding recoil. It was unsafe. I put an...

My problem with a chest rig is that I would sweat all over it. I have a tactical tailor Lunar pouch that works great and hasn't (to my knowledge) been IDed.

Backpacks designed to stow for carry-on use are also a good fit. They often have 20-24" main compartments that open completely with a zipper (unlike backpacking backpacks that often just top-load), have some kind of internal frame, and look like any other backpack.

I have a MK II competition, and it is a great gun. One struggle I have is that, in steel competitions, if I am running both the Ruger and a 1911 the grip angle shift sometimes makes my 'point' with the 1911 low as I expect the Ruger grip angle. So if you also shoot 1911s, the 22/45 is the way to...

The pistol in the video is different than the pistol on the keltec product page in that it has a threaded receiver on the back. Presumably the prototype was made to accept a stock.

I've gone back and forth on chest rigs, but ultimately moved away from the notion for hiking. While it is a convenient location to draw from, it can get in the way of a backpack and would end up getting sweat all over. I've been tempted by the Hill People Gear rigs because they're discreet...

After seeing them at the range (in carbine matches) I'm half convinced they're better than intermediate calibers for home defense. Easier to suppress, less blast, no recoil to speak of, and can be put into a shorter package without it sounding like setting off a bomb in a room. If I had the...

The closest I have is a Draco https://imgur.com/a/fEwOdOn with a folding 'arm brace.' It fits into a small bag, but I sure wouldn't want to leave it in my car. Car prowls are a real problem in my metro area. In the case of an earthquake it would go into my bike trailer and travel with me alright...

I looked at a few options and wound up getting the Tactical Tailor Lunar Concealed Carry Pouch. Partly I went with them because they're local and I like to support local small business, but it's also just been a handy bag. I put a small knife, pen, and flashlight in the outside pouch and wear it...

Now, I hiked for many years with a 90 lumen light with no issues. That's plenty in true dark. The issue is that in a half-lit situation you often need more light to show contrast -- finding a screw dropped under something, the insides of cabinets, that sort of thing. Getting up to 300+ in short...

Hi guys, A local pawn shop has a Celestron 51007, which is a waterproof 62mm 20 x 60 with ED glass. It looks about the right size for spotting 200 yards or so, but I wanted to find out more about it and tried online and drew a big blank. It's marked at $200 and I can haggle a bit, but I don't...

I have a later Universal that came with a fancy sporter stock was drilled and tapped for a scope mount. It runs beautifully.

Out here in liberal WA, I'd say there's the 'woods' and there's forest land. By that I mean that homeless people tend to stay near cities and support networks. They usually don't have reliably running cars with recreational amounts of gas (if they have a vehicle at all), they rely on food banks...

The targets were clustered at a good distance and the fast-cycling low reciprocating mass of the bolt coupled with the relatively heavy weight of the firearm effectively took recoil out of the equation. I never had to swing the thing much which would have made the length awkward. Plus I could...

What about this: I used to have a Ruger 10/22 with a Butler Creek folding stock and a carbon fiber barrel and wanted to enter it into our club's pistol competition. My reasoning was that, since once a rifle is always a rifle, removing the stock only got me in trouble legally if it shortened the...

I traded in the wood grips with thumb shelf on my stainless MK II Competition for a set of ivory-colored plastic grips similar to the black ones you picture. The off-white with stainless looks great and the slimmer grip is nice for my square, short-fingered hands.

Just to echo what's been said above: Let her try a bunch of stuff at the range and see what she likes. We took my best friend's wife to the range and the guy behind the counter charged her to rent one gun and let her use everything they had in the place. She ended up liking a full-sized 1911...

For several years I have owned and used a PK-AS sight seen here with my AK-pattern rifle. There are several challenges associated with it, and one is that the mount is offset from the bore. One thing to consider is that the PK-AS is mounted on the left side and is designed to be used with both...

Data point of one, but I picked up a Universal with a chewed-looking sporter stock at a pawn shop a few years back because it was nearly free. It had some extraction issues (which explained why it was there) and I had to take down everything to clean it thoroughly. If you can avoid it, never...

I bought a used compact. No idea what happened to it before I got it, but it went full auto on me when I went to the range. The good news is that their customer service is top notch. I sent the pistol back not being the original owner, and when I received it from RIA they'd replaced most of...
