I never knew what comfort was until I tucked a snub .38sp fitted with clipdraw into my waistband. I bought it last summer because my .45 was too bulky for shorts carry, and now that the cold weather has come I still find myself reaching for the revolver at least as much as the auto. I should...

While it's unclear whether his weapon was used or displayed in this instance, should I expect this sort of policy if I ever have to use my weapon? Expecting to lose your weapon to an evidence locker is bad enough, but suspension of CCW because you had to use it?

Bernie Getz better make a cameo.

That's a noble ideal, but that's all it is. It is a fantasy. In actual application, you've got to give a man a reason not to take two when everyone else has one. That reason will be punishment backed up by force, so somebody would have to be better armed than the rest; and then everyone would...

It's BS from start to finish. The cops at the scene and\or the DA don't support an armed populace. If pocket carry is a no-no in OH now, what's next? Mexican carry? Clip draw? Belly Bands? Concealed might mean concealed, but failure to conceal isn't supposed to be illegal in an open...

Very, very nice. "Sport-utility" has a bad connotation with me, but it can be an apt term. I'm actually sad that weapon is the blurriest because it seems like that's the type of weapon that suffers the most from ignorance.

There's a scene in the movie where a warlord's forces are at the doorstep of refugee camp, waiting to attack until they get their AKs. While they are waiting, a refugee woman is shown being hacked down with machetes by a few of the warlords men. Clearly a "guns are just another tool"...

I've lived in KY all my life. I lucked out.

Ruger P345 decocker/safety model Lighter hammer spring, heavier recoil spring, "clean" sights. Usually in a Galco kydex OWB, often in a K&D Dakota Defender IWB, occasionally in a Galco shoulder, frequently in my pocket. summertime, I'm looking into a Sp101 or S&W J-frame. Maybe even a little...

Shoot Eggs A friend and I went down to sling .22's at eggs at his uncle's farm, thinking that his uncle and family would not be there. Well they were, and I still wanted to shoot, but didn't want to make his family mad. So we got permission to proceed, and I made certain my friend's...

I don't think second-strike is a realistic concern when choosing a defense weapon. I believe the odds favor a TRB over a second-strike; just eject the round and get on with it. Although this brings up an interesting point. If you had to eject the round by hand, wouldn't a double-action...

Er, that's exactly what they did. But, once removed...

Doesn't anybody ever worry that their recoil spring isn't ever at rest? Cuz you never see that thread. EDIT: Obvious question. Why aren't you filling your mag?

FP-10 for coating, Slide-Glide on the rails and lugs (although I've been interested in RZ-50)
