I'm not Jerry-not even close-but when I was shooting revolvers in IDPA I found that switching to RN reloads from my usual SWC's was a big help with the Safariland Comp III's I was using. I suspect Jerry might not be slowed down, but for mere mortals I think a RN helps reloading in an objective...

Like with the Dagger pistols, PSA does a great job of making a million variations of their guns, offering tons of choices and generally allowing a degree of customization other makers just don't. I think it's because they started with AR kits, and saw the demand for individual configurations...

I'll admit, if you'd described that to me I wouldn't have thought I'd like it; but in photos it's really attractive. Larry

I just can't get excited about a new, untried pistol with no more capacity (or capacity for its size) than other choices, a 6# trigger, a plate system (rather than direct mounting of RDS) and essentially a 'standard' set of features compared to 20 other guns. MIA is nice, and choices are nice...

...the right holster is both critical and HIGHLY personal. And while there are plenty of designs that look good on paper or in photos, the only way to *really* know how they'll work for you is to wear them for a while. That's how we all end up with bins full of holsters (you should see how bad...

So the concern is that professionals, with extensive education and training in the law, are incapable of safely and appropriately using firearms? What does that say about our beliefs in CCW in general? Larry

They're too....um, elegant? They'll make your other rifles look bad? Too graceful? Too handy and easy to carry? Hope that helped; I'm always here for you. :) Larry

I got one a year or so ago, in black. It keyholes with most ammo. It doesn't shoot point of aim, or anywhere NEAR point of aim. It shoots 2 1/2"-3" groups at 21' (my Ruger MKIV, Buckmark are under 1" at that range) It's got a couple 'sticky' chambers, that are difficult to load and take lots of...

The appropriate response to a question like that (or, as a neighbor once asked me, 'So you have a gun on you RIGHT NOW?!?!'), is to look just as shocked and distraught and ask, "You mean you DON'T?!?!" Larry

I look at those and see the WWII 'Liberator', made with modern manufacturing techniques. Larry

The 'hundreds of dry-fire' advice is a good place to start. Not only will it help mate the internals, it'll work out your trigger finger; sometimes I think that's where most of the 'my trigger got better!' results come from. :) Larry

Just about every cattle or sheep herd around here (rural TN) has at least one donkey; they're the guard dogs against predators. From what I've heard, they'll grab a coyote's ears with their teeth, lift it up and kick it to death with their front legs-not something I'd have imagined until I heard...

When a company STARTS by stealing a company's IP, why on Earth would you expect them to be honest about materials, heat-treat or anything else? In the guitar industry, dissection of counterfeit guitars shows particleboard interiors, fatally flawed construction (misplaced bridges and frets) and...

Freedom Gorilla has lots of resources, and sells lots of critical bits (mounting screws) that can make life easier. Larry

Having both the .45 and 9MM, I wonder if you could compare the grip sizes between them? I'm assuming my 10MM is a 'large frame', but haven't handled a 9MM to see if there's actually a difference. Larry

Let's look at this from a purely selfish, amoral perspective for a second: I shot the guy to STOP him. He's stopped. It's not in my legal or financial best interests that he die; in almost every objective measure, it's better for me if he does not. In fact, the ideal situation would be I fire...

I just got a 4.5 XDM-Elite OSP in 10MM, on sale at Sportsman's Warehouse ($599 with four mags and a nice sling bag.) Good sights, excellent trigger, 100% reliable with 300 rounds and three types of ammo. It's a bit big in the grip for me, but far more manageable than a large frame Glock would...

Ankle carry is in the same category as super-micro-guns (.25's and the LCPII .22, for instance); guns to have when you can't have a gun. That being the case, the best ankle carry I've found is the Bug Bite; size it right and it's VERY low profile and comfortable. It is a very slow draw...

1. Use strong hand to pin firearm in the holster, attempting to 'lock' your elbow. If it has a retention device (thumbreak, similar) attempt to lock that with your grip on the firearm. 2. Do immediate, unrelenting violence to the attacker (particularly anything in contact with the weapon, their...

"Gun people" (and I'm one) tend to dig into the minutia and details of bullet design, caliber selection and gun features. But in reality, on a continuum of handgun effectiveness, it's something like this: No...
