I have been thinking about a 22 conversion kit for my 1911 and that's something to consider.. but I would like to have a centerfire-round pistol that I can afford to shoot.. and it seems something in a 9mm fits that bill I still can't shake the desire for a PPS. Dave, can you tell me if...

christcorp: very thoughtful post.. a nice .22 pistol is something that I don't actually have... that's something I'll have to consider. Hardshell: thanks for the visual reference. I did have a sigma ve in 40sw and liked it well enough but once I got my hands on the STI Ranger, it...

I had one and it was ok.. I ended up trading it in and adding the last Bush stimulus to the value I got on it (I got $225 for it, I think) and bought an AR. Thanks, W!! As for the Sigma.. I had the .40sw VE version.. I didn't like it much, mostly on account of the trigger pull being so...

point taken.. I gave the caveat, "in my estimation".. I suppose it's about the same as the S&W glock knock-off that I had a while back (hated it, btw.. there's a world of difference, imo, from it and an actual glock) and I didn't find cc'ing it to be very... covert, let's say.. but thats...

Yeah, the glock line is verrry popular and I'm sure it's for a reason. Heck, I've even had 1911 IDPA shooters tell me that they'd trust their life to their $500 glock before their $2000 race gun.. so.. it's the old smoke and fire addage As for the 19, that's a full frame open carry pistol...

Well, glock is an obvious contender and It's probably high on the list of candidate.. for some reason, I still have an itch for a walther. I actually considered getting a P99 a couple of years back. I've been looking at the P99c but the issue there is in which trigger configuration to go for...

+1 to STI. Send some of your American Dollars to Texas! They'll send you back a top notch pistol! and their customer service is phenomenal!

funny you should say that.. I was actually thinking of one of those too but I don't really see it as a concealed-carry weapon.. it's just too big.. They are nice and I think I might get one when the opportunity presents itself.. I see where taurus makes a pistol on what looks like the...

that's down the road..on my mind and to-do list but further down the road. th CZ is an interesting option.. might just have to add that to the list of candidates.. thanks for the feedback! Keep em coming!

I have always been fond of the motto "your pistol caliber ought to start with .4" So I've had nothing but 45s and a 40 cal.. Right now my carry pieces are a glock 36 and an STI Ranger, both with 4" bbls and 6-7 rd mag capacity (x2 mags). But the price of ammo being what it is and hardly...

Still no reply to the question of whether or not it is permissible to carry (open or concealed) at a political rally.. I was generally under the impression that to do so was a no-no.. comments?

not sure what the laws specifically in AZ are but the laws here (in TX) state that you're not supposed to show up to a political rally strapped. That's one of the restrictions on concealed carry. (I'll have to look up the statutes again to make sure) Obviously the man with the "assault rifle"...

the op has posed a horns of dilema question.. there is no right answer. in the circumstance posited, if you do decide to squeeze one off, you'd better pray to Mars that your bullet finds its mark and none other. though given the choice of potentially taking one life unintendedly or...

thanks for the calming words, JTT. I know I'm over-analysing the situation. Further, I'm sure there are countless other examples of times when a situation could have gone bad but didn't and went wholly un-noticed. I'm sure each one of us could think back on a particular circumstance and with a...

that's correct. my little bungalow is in the backyard of a proper house and butts up against the alley directly. And truth be told, it wouldn't be hard to get into it from the alley if one were so inclined.
