    New Gun Company Advertisement Compares Obama to Hitler, Stalin

    Don't be so fast to blame "liberals" for gun control. Conservatives love it too when it suits their purposes. http://reformed-theology.org/html/issue11/dont_blame_liberals.htm "In 1969, journalist William Safire asked Richard Nixon what he thought about gun control. "Guns are an...

    Have you ever had an ND?

    I've been carrying daily for about 10 years and I've never had a ND. It's my personal goal to go to my grave without ever having one. If I can do that and have my 4 year old daughter grow into a happy, healthy adult, I'll die a happy man.

    Fiocchi 9mm Ammo Question

    Actually, I've noticed that most SD HP ammo from major manufacturers, eg. Federal, CorBon, etc, tends to have minimal muzzle flash. I use Federal's BPLE +P+ load a bit and it also has minimal muzzle flash.

    Fiocchi 9mm Ammo Question

    Hi, all. Has anyone used Fiocchi 9mm hollow point ammo? The price seems right, but one thing I've noticed about ammo that is less expensive is it tends to have a LOT of muzzle flash. Not a good thing in low light situations. Kind of like the Magtech SCHP I've used in my CW9. I was looking...

    Magsafe ammo safe to shoot?

    Over the past 4 years, I've fired well over 100 rounds of Magsafe through my CW9. (obviously, not all at once due to the price). I've fired the Defender, Mini-Glock and +P Stealths and have never had a problem with any of it.

    Glock G30/G29 concealment holster suggestions?

    I bought my IWB holster for my G29 from this guy: http://www.ttgunleather.com/ It's the most comfortable holster for my 29 I've ever worn. Highly recommended!

    Best/Cheapest Place to Buy Ammo Online?

    Ammo to go is good in that they get new inventory in all the time, sometimes usually hard-to-find stuff like Winchester Ranger, Federal HST and the old Federal 115 gr. +P+ loads.

    Best/Cheapest Place to Buy Ammo Online?

    +1 The Sportsman's Guide is great. Join their buyer's club, and buy in bulk. They send me $10 off coupons all the time for orders of $100. That pays for most of the shipping, plus you get an added discount for being a club member. I also order most of my clothes from them, too. Believe me...

    9mm defensive loads

    That depends on who you ask! Chuck Taylor wrote an article in "Combat Handguns" recently on 9mm ammo for short barrel autos. He unequivocally rules out 147 gr. loads because, according to him, they shoot high and don't have enough velocity from a 3.5 inch ( or shorter) barrel to expand...

    9mm defensive loads

    You should read their follow-up, "Street Stoppers." Very interesting. They speak highly of frangible ammo, like Magsafe and Glaser Safety Slugs, for the smaller calibers, i..e .380, .38 sp. and 9mm. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I carry Magsafes sometimes in my CW9, but a lot of...

    9mm defensive loads

    This is interesting: http://www.brassfetcher.com/index_files/Page2449.htm This 147 gr. Golden Saber was fired from a Rohrbaugh, yet it expanded pretty well from such a short barrel.

    9mm defensive loads

    I do love my CW9. I got it about 2 years ago. It's my daily carry piece, and I figure I've put about 1500 rounds through it so far with all types of bullets. The Cor Bon 115 gr. JHPs are the only thing it tends to choke on. Even then, it will still feed them 90% of the time. However, that's...
