    awkward ccw places

    I found a good solution in carrying a j-frame in a Galco executive holster under my black or navy blue casual shirt (and on top of my undershirt). I leave one button unbuttoned and practice drawing from that position. When I carried IWB, back when any exposure could be brandishing, I bent over...

    Please help me identify this revolver

    It looks like a Reichs Revolver without a top strap.

    suspenders

    Perry Suspenders have saved me from having ankle warmers in public several times. I've used the executive black for years, and they are just now starting to lose some elasticity. I can let my belt out and still keep it up with a 1911, one mag, a flashlight, wallet, keys, pocket change, and...

    Ankle Holster - Good idea, or Bad?

    I have used a Galco ankle holster with a J-frame almost every day for four years and have had no problems with it except that it gets stinky. It would be the first gun I reach for ONLY when I am strapped into my car's driver's seat, because it would be faster to draw than the primary carry...

    Stupid people own guns also

    Whenver my boys and I went shooting, and at many other times, I said, "Now remember, natural selection is constantly at work to eliminate stupid people from the gene pool." That's probably good to remember whenever you touch a firearm.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Last one was a Sig x6 in 9mm. Sweet gun. I don't know what more I'm going to want - nothing seems too interesting now. Perhaps I finally spoiled myself rotten?

    Delayed Tonight

    Let's see if this makes sense to anyone. I had transfers with one dealer for two years and never went to "further review." I switched to another dealer two years ago and now always have "further review." Coincidence?

    SCAR 17S bolt release hard to push

    I got my SCAR 17S this week - what a great looking and handling gun. Looking forward to shooting it next week. Advice, please: The bolt release button is really, really hard to push. What can I do about that? Thanks in advance. BRL.

    New NRA Museum in Bass Pro Shop -Springfield, MO

    That place is going to get even better. One of the employees told me that they are going to build a large indoor pistol range under and beyond the museum, to replace the little range in the basement, and are designing it with pistol competitions in mind. Does anybody know anything more about...

    Range encounters that bug you

    jmace57, you remind me of the time I went to my local indoor range when the only other people there were two sherrif's deputies in uniform. They were shooting fast and all over the place. When the ceiling tiles took rounds, I turned and knocked on the window. The range master told them to...

    Gun safety teacher shoots student

    Water pistol When I take a first time shooter to the range, we start working with a bright pink water pistol. If they happen to sweep someone with the muzzle or pull the trigger when they shouldn't, then no harm can possibly be done (no, it doesn't even have water in it). When we move to...

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23691146 A gun instructor in the US state of Ohio has accidentally shot a student in the arm in a class for people seeking permits to carry a concealed firearm. Terry Dunlap, 73, was demonstrating a .38-calibre pistol when it went off and struck...

    Glock truck gun

    The biggest difference will probably be that the 357sig will leave you a little more deaf and, if at night, a little more blind, than the 45. And I'd agree with the members who mentioned something about ammo availability. I've had a really hard time finding 357sig for my G27 (barrel from a...

    Range encounters that bug you

    Range encounters that bug you? A guy let his kids run around a hot range, with every lane in use. Most of us had to stop firing a few times. The guy just kept shooting his 12 gauge from the hip, in a pistol lane, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. This was a public range but...
