So I can shoot anyone wearing a hoodie with a Covid mask and their hand in a pocket and maybe deemed justified? Not around here. The people reaching for things in their pockets who get shot are being confronted by police, I wouldn't be concerned about maybe needing to draw if police were on...

How so? Nobody can see it if it is still in your pocket, covered by your hand. It also does work for "cargo pockets" as nobody can tell if you are reaching for a phone, keys, or whatever, until it is time to actually produce the weapon.

What you lose in "speed" IMHO you more than makeup for in "readiness" -- can have your hand in the pocket, on the pistol o=with it on its way out well ahead of potential threats getting close without no one the wiser.. No threat, no problem. Carrying concealed pretty much means you've conceded...

No, when I see CCP I think "Chinese Communist Party".

I have 3 5-round and 6 10-round MK1919 style 12 gauge magazines. I'd loaded them all up for a range trip that didn't happen because of catastrophic failure of my rotator cuff back in Aug 2023, It has been a long recovery from shoulder replacement surgery, but I finally got to the range again...

I'm with Twisted Chemist on this issue. But one potential advantage of a slightly protruding light is providing "stand off" so the firearm doesn't go out of battery if in a wrestling for the weapon scenario. I've seen ads for at least one pistol with this "feature" built in as a protrusion at...

Before you sing the praises of green lasers or green red dots, can you pick them up against a lush green background? At the range I love the greens, but in the field unless everything is dry and brown red is easier to find on the target.

I was an early adopter of red dots on carry pistols circa 2006 IMHO the best place to start is this article from American Rifleman, it has a nice table of what sights have which footprints, although the article is old enough now that not everything will be listed...

For me it is Polish surplus 7.62x25 ammo from the 50s. It is almost as old as I am, I've had no issues with it, shot four spam cans of it, still have a couple left.

Two submitted Friday May 12th, a few hours apart had control numbers 684 apart. The second form was approved Tuesday July 25th by Kristan Miller. No news about the first one yet, but only like 75 days so far for it I used a "roll your own" fingerprint card kit from Amazon.

Don't know if it is relevant but the Garand safety is inside the trigger guard so having the gun on safe and finger in the trigger guard is "maximum readiness".

I've got a 9mm AK that takes Glock mags. Other than the mags and caliber it handles exactly like any other AK. Minimal recoil and a lot less expensive to shoot, at our club we can shoot pistol caliber carbines and SBRs at the plate racks.

Of the two people I know who have actually fired a shot at a home intruder, both report never hearing the gun go off. One was a 4" .357 Mag, the other a 5.56 AR 15. Somehow in this stressful situation I doubt the "mushy trigger" will be noticed either. Both intruders fled, home owners...

Does anyone know if the amnesty brace registrations are proceeding, or have they been put on hold by the lawsuits? Sent two in on May 12th that quickly went "submitted in process" and I got the pdf cover letters and mailed in home-rolled print cards that arrived before the ten day deadline...

I thought the Panzer M4 was a Turkish knock-off of the Benelli "inertia" system.
