    How do you shoot?

    I used to shoot primarily at paper targets or whatever else we took out to shoot at (phonebooks, etc). I recently took a tactical pistol class and realized how just standing there and shooting at targets wouldn't necessarily provide the training I wanted for self defense. Since then, I've been...

    Impulse buy: Springfield xd

    There is not a subcompact 45. You can get the 45 in the XDs though. The XD is an awesome gun. It's one of my all time favorite firearms. I enjoy a 1911, but the XD9 subcompact is my primary carry gun, and I trust it 100%. You made a good purchase. I don't think you'll regret it. :)

    380 auto for my wife

    Most small 380s have more recoil than people expect. I have an LCP and I don't enjoy shooting it. I have heard great things about the Sig P238, but I have never shot one. That said, I love shooting my XD 45 Compact, but I usually carry an XD 9 subcompact. As a woman, I recommend letting her...

    Kimber Solo Reviews?

    I got a Solo for Christmas last year. We sold it a month or so ago. I had multiple failure to eject issues. Some of them where with handloads, but a few of them were even with premium 147 grain hollowpoints (as Kimber recommends). Then it would shoot some 115 grain ammo fine, but not others...

    Suggestions for first IWB holster?

    I LOVE the Comp-tac MTAC Minotaur. I have 2 of them for different guns. I also have a Comp-tac kydex reinforced belt. I love this setup. It allows me to carry a Compact XD .45 (4 inch barrel) & a Kimber Ultra Carry II .45 (3 inch barrel) comfortably. :)

    1911 IWB Holster

    ^^ +1 on a good belt. I found it to be as important as finding a good holster.

    1911 IWB Holster

    I'm a huge fan of Comp-Tac's MTAC Minotaur holster. I have one for my 1911 & one for my XD. Crossbreed's SuperTuck is great holster as well.

    Kimber Solo

    I got one for Christmas and sold it this last week. I only had a couple of fte issues with factory ammo (including 115 gr), but it hated reloads. My Husband reloads all of our plinking ammo and we never found a load that it liked with the 115. Granted, it wasn't the 124 like Kimber...

    Kimber Solo

    FYI - I'm a woman, and I didn't think the recoil was that bad. I was looking at buying the extended magazine to help it out a bit, but I could shoot it without a problem. The reliability issues are what I couldn't handle.

    Kimber Solo

    I got one around Christmas time, and I'm selling it. I LOVED it at first. It was easy to carry, comfortable, etc. However, my Husband reloads, and that gun HATED the reloads. We tried several different loads, and it hated them all. Out of a box of 50, I had 7 or 8 failures to eject. Now, I...

    Need Help Deciding On Carry/Self Defense

    I have the Kimber Ultra II .45 and love that gun. The last few days, I've been carrying my Husband's XD compact .45 as an experiment. Of the 2, I think the XD is a little more comfortable. As a woman, the sharp edges of the Kimber grip digs into my skin and is a little uncomfortable (I carry...

    Do you like your LCP?

    Ben86, this question wasn't directed at me, but were you asking for a woman's perspective on the LCP? If so, I can give you one. :) It shot more accurately than I expected for a small gun. It's not fun to go plink with, but it shoots comfortable enough to practice with.

    Do you like your LCP?

    I have been happy with mine. As some others have said, it's not fun to plink with, but that's not what it was designed for. It is SO easy to conceal without having to dress around it. I didn't like the sights on it, so my Husband painted the front sight with some bright orange nail...

    Kimber

    LOL, this is the 3rd Kimber based thread I have responded in tonight...needless to say, I'm a fan. I have a Ultra Carry II in .45 and a Solo as my smaller carry gun. I used to carry an LCP for my smaller carry gun, but it's been permanently replaced. :)

    Kimber Solo CDP

    I tried to pre-order a Stainless one back in Oct, after being told it would arrive by Christmas. The week before Christmas, I was told by our gun salesman that they had not even started making the stainless ones yet. Sssooo...I got the 2-tone version. I LOVE that gun. I have never had an...

    Pick your brand.

    I voted other, because I love my Kimbers as well. Ultra Carry II in .45 and my Solo when I can't carry the .45. Love them both.
