    Rost Martin RM 1 C

    I just can't get excited about a new, untried pistol with no more capacity (or capacity for its size) than other choices, a 6# trigger, a plate system (rather than direct mounting of RDS) and essentially a 'standard' set of features compared to 20 other guns. MIA is nice, and choices are nice...

    IWB Holster Design

    As a person who makes holsters as a hobby, I'll just add that it can be very daunting to try and design a holster that will be comfortable for someone else; I make holsters for myself that I'm certain nobody else would like, and see many patterns others love that I could never wear. More than...

    Gun-toting lawyers in Arkansas

    So the concern is that professionals, with extensive education and training in the law, are incapable of safely and appropriately using firearms? What does that say about our beliefs in CCW in general? Larry

    Tell me why I shouldn’t get a Browning BLR in .308.

    They're too....um, elegant? They'll make your other rifles look bad? Too graceful? Too handy and easy to carry? Hope that helped; I'm always here for you. :) Larry

    Is everyone still loving their Ruger Wranglers?

    I got one a year or so ago, in black. It keyholes with most ammo. It doesn't shoot point of aim, or anywhere NEAR point of aim. It shoots 2 1/2"-3" groups at 21' (my Ruger MKIV, Buckmark are under 1" at that range) It's got a couple 'sticky' chambers, that are difficult to load and take lots of...

    "Oh my Gawd....do you have a gun in every room?"

    The appropriate response to a question like that (or, as a neighbor once asked me, 'So you have a gun on you RIGHT NOW?!?!'), is to look just as shocked and distraught and ask, "You mean you DON'T?!?!" Larry

    Altor ! Cheapest 9mm Productions gun

    I look at those and see the WWII 'Liberator', made with modern manufacturing techniques. Larry

    New conundrum- to fix or not to fix...

    The 'hundreds of dry-fire' advice is a good place to start. Not only will it help mate the internals, it'll work out your trigger finger; sometimes I think that's where most of the 'my trigger got better!' results come from. :) Larry

    Burro Defense Gun

    Just about every cattle or sheep herd around here (rural TN) has at least one donkey; they're the guard dogs against predators. From what I've heard, they'll grab a coyote's ears with their teeth, lift it up and kick it to death with their front legs-not something I'd have imagined until I heard...

    A note about Chinese "clones"

    When a company STARTS by stealing a company's IP, why on Earth would you expect them to be honest about materials, heat-treat or anything else? In the guitar industry, dissection of counterfeit guitars shows particleboard interiors, fatally flawed construction (misplaced bridges and frets) and...

    Red dot mounting resource?

    Freedom Gorilla has lots of resources, and sells lots of critical bits (mounting screws) that can make life easier. Larry

    Leaning Towards a Springfield 9mm XDM-Elite

    Having both the .45 and 9MM, I wonder if you could compare the grip sizes between them? I'm assuming my 10MM is a 'large frame', but haven't handled a 9MM to see if there's actually a difference. Larry

    Homeowner Shoots Intruder

    Let's look at this from a purely selfish, amoral perspective for a second: I shot the guy to STOP him. He's stopped. It's not in my legal or financial best interests that he die; in almost every objective measure, it's better for me if he does not. In fact, the ideal situation would be I fire...

    Leaning Towards a Springfield 9mm XDM-Elite

    I just got a 4.5 XDM-Elite OSP in 10MM, on sale at Sportsman's Warehouse ($599 with four mags and a nice sling bag.) Good sights, excellent trigger, 100% reliable with 300 rounds and three types of ammo. It's a bit big in the grip for me, but far more manageable than a large frame Glock would...

    Ankle Holsters

    Ankle carry is in the same category as super-micro-guns (.25's and the LCPII .22, for instance); guns to have when you can't have a gun. That being the case, the best ankle carry I've found is the Bug Bite; size it right and it's VERY low profile and comfortable. It is a very slow draw...
