full-size 1911 in a Crossbreed

My Rossi has no problem with .38 rounds.

I think a .25 has a chance. After the bullet bounces off your target, there's a chance he could step on it it might roll like a marble, making him slip and fall.

Those PSA lowers are a great deal right now -- will be attempting a build of myself soon (as it comes in!)

If you're concerned about defending yourself against 2 legged varmints, then the larger caliber probably makes more sense. If it's more of a wilderness survival, then the .22 (although I'd add a .22 rather than the 9mm pistol). Avoid bears.

But -- when you do happen upon that super find and scoop it up before anyone else does ... and then 3 people try to buy it from you before you can get out of the door with it ... then it all becomes worthwhile!

Sure -- as you're aiming and pulling the trigger at an assailant facing you, he spins to turn away at the same moment -- receiving your 230 grain package in the side or back.

Good place, good ammo

Ordered an AR upper from them -- very quick shipping, decent price. You have to dig a little -- not everything listed is in stock. I was pleased with the transaction and would recommend them.

I broke my knee last month and have been on crutches. Haven't gone out much, but the few times I have I've either carried an LCP in front pocket (with holster, of course), or a Kimber Pro-Carry II in an IWB Crossbreed at about 4:30. It didn't get in the way of the crutches ... although I've...

Basically, pretty much anyone who's tried one likes it. Everyone who hasn't doesn't like it. Remember, this is a complete lower assembly -- including buttstock -- for a really nice price.

+1 on the slide racking. If it's in the slightest bit difficult for her to do, then she won't like the gun. (not even thinking about having to load a magazine) Every woman I've ever introduced to shooting has hated racking slides -- but they've all loved revolvers. Simple, quick, easy, no...

My understanding is that a pre-war (or war-era) Model 10 can discharge if dropped on the hammer. The block preventing that situation wasn't installed until after the war.

Have just posted a picture "how to" for the Spee-D-Loader at http://www.findgunsites.com/articles/Spee-D-Loader.html. Granted, it's so simple to use that you almost don't need directions.
