    Standardizing on Glock 9mm.....

    Comfort when sitting down is part of it. The shorter grip and slide for appendix carry inside the waist band is part of it relative to concealment and comfort for me.

    Standardizing on Glock 9mm.....

    I would like to know more. The optics is just one part of the package. Now the glock 19 for better or worse is a proven system with trigger pull that is not good. But it goes bang and all parts are widely distributed on the net. I would want to first see the shadow systems pistol that is...

    Standardizing on Glock 9mm.....

    Holosun now sells a red dot that will attached to directly to the milled slot on the mos glock slide. It sits low enough not to need new elevated iron sights for co-witness

    Holster for bear country

    A half homie is taught for pistol point shooting by some and looking down over the edge of the slide to roughly sight it is called meat on the metal. Half homie is canting your hand and gun about 30 degrees that is same as if you were pointing your finger at something.

    I believe that moose do injured some people, especially in urban areas and so can be dangerous.

    Holster for bear country

    WrongHanded said: ↑ The benefits of a red dot simply do not outweigh the potential issues, from my perspective. Batteries, the (very high profile) sight getting knocked loose or potentially out of zero, not getting turned on, getting covered in mud or snow or debris or even blood. Now you could...

    Holster for bear country

    In thick brush and such, one wants a pistol that will not hang up on brush or getting into and out of vehicles. But yes at close ranges in brush a bear can be fast. A light can be used at night and you can often catch eye reflection in a light. A small expendable dog can be useful also. If...

    5.7 x 28 ammo. WTH

    My question just how easy it is to reload 5.7. I understand that it uses a lubricated case due to pressure and being used in blowback or at least not fully locked type actions.

    Switch or device that makes a Glock or other pistol a machine gun?

    Shooting Low

    Iron sights are almost always above the bore. At point blank range of say one foot for a gun sighted in at 7 yards, The bullet will hit lower than it will at 7 yards. Below for an AR-15. The bullet starts out low, it crosses the line of sight at 50 m and goes above it and them meets it again...

    Shooting Low

    point of impact varies according to the eyes and eye glasses of the shooter. I have always tended to shoot low. Seven yards is close range and if the impact is low at such a range then it seems for your eyes that the sights need adjustment. The front sight could be lowered with a file. But...

    Looking for 9mm for less than 600 dollars - leaning towards a Glock

    If you are going to CCW the gun, also consider that aspect of it. I am referring to the dimensions of the guns and your body type. I think a standard G19 and not the G19x or one of the smaller guns is where you want to go. I did not see the G26 on your list. They have have a shorter grip...
