What exactly does "tuning and customizing" mean? Does that mean that you are replacing OEM parts with aftermarket? If so, that would explain why you gun functioned so poorly. Because of this thread, I took my Glock 19 Gen 4 to the range. I needed to test some range ammo anyway, so I packed...

Yea...I'm a nerd so I tend to over analyze things.

This will never happen in any widespread way. Sure, someone will invent a "smart gun" but no professional agency will use them and no one who needs a gun for self defense will buy one. This is pie in the sky thinking that is not grounded in reality. Let me explain why: There are really only...

Yep. Trust your instincts. Glad nothing happened OP. I mean it.

I'm in Michigan and would not hesitate to use a snow bank as cover right now. They are currently more ice banks than snow banks. Some are a good 10 feet tall and solid as a rock. Early in the winter I would only use one as a last resort.

Not to be offensive or rude but threads like this scare me. Someone is really considering not only drawing, but also holding as many rounds in his hands while doing so and it sounds like he is looking for a reason to do so. Forget looking around and analyzing the situation, forget using the best...

Now that I look it up, banks are not pistol free zones. Why did I think they were?

Michigan is where I live. I'm sure there are others.

Right now I keep a Glock 19 and a Sig 229 in a quick access safe within reach of my bed. I can open the safe without the light on no problem. Each gun is fully loaded and ready to go. I also have a small but bright flashlight in there and extra mags all loaded. My next gun will be...

I for sure do. My job doesn't care and I refuse to go anywhere that I'm not allowed to carry. The only exception is when I need to go inside the bank. I hate that I have to leave my gun in the car but the law is the law. If I leave the house, I have a gun on me.

Good to see another Michigan guy. I'm in Grand Rapids.

Welcome There are some very great people here. I'm sure not as great as your dad, but they are of a good stock. I hope you enjoy it here.

Very much this. The one and only time I ever even thought of pulling was when I was picking up my car from the shop. Some guy started going crazy in the shop and decided he was going to come at me. He was about half a second away from having a very bad day.

I don't talk about carrying with most of the people I know. I don't want people to know that I carry, so I have never brought it up. If it comes up, I shut my mouth. I carry every day. If I leave my house, I have a gun on me. It's part of my routine and I don't plan on changing it. However...

I did my first online purchase this week. I ordered a Sig P229 Extreme. Great gun, I am very pleased. With my Glock 19 for reference
