    Suggestions for a pocket sized .380

    I would second the opinion that you don't want a safety on a pocket pistol but you do need a pocket holster. I carry a Diamondback 380 everyday in a leather pocket holster that I made myself. It goes in a jacket pocket, front jeans pocket, or even in a front pocket of knit shorts or athletic...

    Help with CCW holster

    Two words. "Cross Draw." I carry at 10:00 (that is just in front of the left hip.) IWB. I build my own holster to make it work, but a hybrid leather/kydex with a straight vertical cant or slightly negative cant will work. Also need a smaller gun with a relatively smooth back (no big dovetail...

    thinking about selling my Seecamp 380...

    While I have never shot a Seecamp I do have a Diamondback 380. I ran 50 rounds thru it the day that I bought it and didn't have any problem with the recoil or hitting the target. I guess I just don't get the whole "small pistols are a pain to shoot" argument. While they may not be as fun or...

    Good Guy With a Gun

    Here is a story that won't get national media attention or go in the crimes stopped with a gun statistics. http://www.ijreview.com/2014/04/134172-armed-good-samaritan-stops-purse-snatching-next-even-better/ Purse snatching stopped, no one shot, no one died, so not news worthy.

    FedEx Shooting

    I heard about this on the radio today. The report I heard said the shooter had an "assault rifle and bullets taped to his chest." This report says he used a shotgun: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-georgia-fedex-shooting-20140429,0,1267118.story Like any other mass shooting I fully...

    Things you have been possibly "misinformed" on

    I would add to this that anyone that thinks US gun laws are not overly restrictive is misinformed. Don't believe me? Let's look at a few. 1. The Constitution says "Shall not be infringed." But you need special permits to own full auto arms, special permits to carry in most states, and some...

    "Stopping Power" article

    Why when you shoot a deer do some run and some fall right there? I have shot deer in the same place with the same gun at the same angle with the same bullet and achieve the same wound channel but have the deer do completely different things. Some have fallen as soon as shot, kicked a few times...

    "Stopping Power" article

    I drive a Peterbilt so my "knockdown power" is over 10 times of your F-150. But if you jump me at the pumps a single 95 grain bullet to the brain will certainly bring you down. I ain't getting in my truck to stop an attacker. In other words this video is pointless.

    Does anyone make great pocket pistol?

    Unless there is a magazine disconnect like the Bersa Thunder CC. I wanted one of these until I found out that it would not fire without a mag in place. Talk about a useless safety. Why would you ever want a gun to not go bang just because the mag got released?

    S&W must listen to their customers - new SW MP Bodyguard .380

    I am far less concerned about the laser than I am the safety. Maybe they should start listening to their customers about that and get rid of that tiny little lever that will do nothing but get you killed.

    CC for the first time today

    I think that all of us that conceal worry about this at first. The truth is, like others have said, the general public is really not paying any attention to what you are doing or wearing. The only time someone notices is when your cover garment rides up and gets hung. Occasionally your fellow...

    Does anyone make great pocket pistol?

    This is my thought too. I am just trying to figure how the mag is getting accidentally released.

    Does anyone make great pocket pistol?

    I have looked at the Nano but I would love to try the Pico. I also looked at the Bodyguard today and think I could live with the safety as it took a bit of force to engage it, but it still lingers in the back of my mind about what could go wrong. I also looked a the LCP again today and I am...

    Does anyone make great pocket pistol?

    I'll have to look at the Bodyguard again but I have read reviews of light strikes with the Bodyguard. Anyone have that issue? Also the safety on the BG gives me concerns. I don't want to have to fight to get my gun off safe while I am fighting for my life. I am worried that the safety might...

    Does anyone make great pocket pistol?

    This goes back to the issue of accurate and reliable carry gun. It has to go bang every time the trigger is pulled and it has to punch holes where it is aimed. I have yet to find a pocket gun that can claim these 2 key features. I have looked at the usual candidates, LCP, TCP, Kel-Tec, and...
