In the late 1980’s, my father bought a rifle from a private seller in rural Texas. My father died in 1993. Then about 25 years after my father’s Texas purchase, I traded the rifle in Tennessee as part of a new purchase at a local gun shop. After a few days, that local Tennessee gun shop...

Although the punchline is amusing, it's a shame to slander a quality gun manufacturer. Larry

I have used both smartcarry and pistolwear quite a bit. Both have worked well with a Seecamp for various distances up to half-marathons. Now I favor pistolwear for running and normally carry a Kahr PM9 for training and exercise runs. The pistolwear does a better job keeping sweat off the...

Not only hurt a bit but impressive as your thumb gets cocked like the hammer and lays limply back over your wrist, pointing straight at the elbow. Larry

Flint, those bullets look great but they make me paranoid because "to eliminate the potential for aluminum oxide formation, the bullets are coated with a dry film lube ..." Aluminum oxide is very, very hard. Since aluminum yearns to make that oxide instantly on exposure to air, I would...

A nickel finished S&W 27-2. Larry

Great video. Kudos to MrBorland! For those who haven't tried it, the drill is easiest with a dime then gets tougher with larger coins (laying flat). MB, Thanks for reminding us of a good drill. Larry

I agree with the suggestion of using .22 rifles as inexpensive training aids. Army field manual FM 23-9 or FM 3-22.9 Rifle Marksmanship M16A1, M16A2/3, M16A4, AND M4 CARBINE ... Has a variety of training scenarios from a minimum of equipment to computerized ranges. It is quite thorough...

I can tell you how I handled it. After my father died, our mother laid out my father's guns and told my brother and I to take turns taking what we wanted. Since I already had quite a few guns and my brother did not have many, I took only one and told my brother that he could have the rest. In...

Actually my secondary weapon (knife) was exposed and did not prevent the assault. Larry

kwikrnu said No, I did not lose control of my pistol; [because] it was concealed before I drew it. Almost lost my knife for a couple of seconds though. Larry

NavyLT said: Actually their first action was to neutralize weapons to gain the best advantage; in my case it was by grabbing the (wrong) arm where a weapon (knife) was visible. Of the seven other people they assaulted at different locations that night, each was attacked to give the bgs'...

Such a statement stinks of arrogant self-conceit and borders on low road. I was there, you were not. Rather than create thread veer detailing all the results of the encounter, I gave a short version suitable for the topic and internet strangers. My description is accurate...

cook45 said: One problem with open carry on city streets is that it gives away too much information; the statement is that it tells the bgs that you have an object of value, what and where your defense is. There is no tactical advantage in giving this information to the enemy. Once you are...

Expecting criminals to regularly confess to news reporters their tactics and thinking at the moment of attack is unrealistic. Also unrealistic is the idea that there are not plenty of criminals that are skilled at what they do. And like other skilled humans will try to reduce their risk while...
