    New 9mm Question

    You can also pick up a used Sig 228 in the price range you are looking at. nice gun that can be used with someone with smaller hands. Should be a good gun for both of you.

    Automatics that just don't "do it" for you

    Another one that just can't warm up to a Glock...I got a G19 and it is a fine gun, but just does not fit me as well as my 1911's or a Sig 228 I like the idea of the XP, but again just does not feel right in my hand. Most Smith Autos except the original Model 39, I did like that one...

    Hiking the Appalachian Trail

    Back when I did a lot of backpacking, I carried a machete strapped to the right side of my backpack. I could reach back over my right shoulder with my right hand and draw it very easily. I found a machete a lot more useful then a axe. I also always used a hiking staff. I made my own from...

    I tried and I failed - polymer pistol poster

    I have both a Glock and a Kimber, either has ever jammed on me. Both reliable enough to bet your life on. But I must admit my Kimber Eclipse in its black sharkskin holster gets a lot more compliments then my G19 does in its Fobus holster.

    If someone shot your dog

    I carry mace for dogs. I do not want your dog running up to me or my child. I don't care what it's intentions are. I don't know your dog, I have been attacked and bitten by dogs that ran up to me with wagging tails. I will mace your dog and then look for the jerk that let his dog off leash...

    knife or blackjack?

    Old Mountain Man saying to tenderfeet. "Never throw your knife or hawk!" Leaves you empty handed. You seem to be talking about a baton instead of a blackjack. Baton gives you reach and I will take that over a knife anyday. Blackjacks are mostly small, lead weighted, leather slappers.

    Tomato Raid...

    What I would like to know, was this a smash and enter swat assault type entry? If so who is the dumbheaded judge that signed the warrant? With only a someone "reported seeing possible drug growing paraphernalia," Why would a warrant be issued with so little information? I think it needs to...

    self/property defense

    Some of the posters feel that the criminal has rights to life. So it seems all they have to do is kick in your door, yelling "I am only here to steal your TV, not going to harm anyone" You can helplessly watch him carry out your TV while snatching up the remote on the way out. How long do...

    Sacramento Man Arrested

    Property is not worth taking someones life....That is what most criminals count on. The use of deathly force does not mean you kill someone. You should at least be able to use it as a deterrent. I have used a gun to stop robbery and assault in the past. I would not hesitate to do it...

    Mr. Censor

    Just because someone goes to a beer bash does not mean they got fall down, commode hugging drunk. Some college students are responsible young people. I would not worry about it. I do understand how you feel, I sometimes find myself feeling the same way. I see some idiots at gunshops and...

    Cranky neighbors

    I take it as the humor, I believe, it was intended. Then again some of us old guys do get confused at times....LOL

    In a gun store?

    Each part of the country is different. What would sell in one area may not sell in another. Look around and see what the most common type of gunning is done locally. Do they have a trap or skeet range close? What is the most popular hunting done locally. Carry some stuff that may not be...

    Transition to Pistol from Rifle

    The sling I use allows me to either drop the long gun, which hangs across my lower chest, upper belly area, or I can push it out of the way under my weak arm or behind my back with my weak arm, while drawing my handgun. I can use both hands with my handgun either way and still keep my long arm...
