    Glock triggers - help me please.

    I put a timney alpha trigger in my PSA Dagger. It is an awesome trigger but I consider it a range only trigger. It is about 3lbs and I don't let beginners shoot it now because if you try and stage it like many people do with a typical glock trigger you end up shooting it when you aren't ready...

    Some thoughts on the M&P Bodyguard 380

    I rented one once when we were shopping .380's for my girlfriend. I really wanted to like it but the slide bit my hand pretty consistently if I didn't purposely keep my grip low. I have really big hands by most folks standards though. Accuracy wasn't bad and it didn't have any hiccups. In the...

    Choice of Handguns

    The smith and wesson equalizer has very similar features to the shield EZ but comes with 10, 12 and 15 round mags. I don't know why it doesn't get more discussion. I didn't pay any attention to it until a friend took his daughter to buy her first pistol and they planned to get the shield ez and...

    What good are .22 LR shotshells?

    I tried them in an old remington fieldmaster .22 pump rifle to kill sparrows roosting in the horse barn. They weren't powerful enough to damage the roof. They also weren't much good for killing birds. From a rifled barrel the pattern was very erratic past about 5ft and the birds were not at all...

    Choice of Handguns

    How did you come up with your original list? Are those guns he is interested in? Guns you have that he can try out? I'd recommend he try shooting some of them before committing to anything. I was interested in a glock 42 at one point as my LCP is just about a 2 finger grip for me and I'd have...

    9mm 1911 ,who would want one ?

    Buddy of mine has a Rock Island GI model in 9mm and it is a sweet shooter. I like a beavertail safety and more modern sights, but did not get hammer bite from his with the GI safety and was able to shoot nice groups with it.

    9mm 1911 ,who would want one ?

    I love mine. For awhile I tried to find a springfield EMP 4", but I wasn't willing to shell out the cash without seeing one in person. I liked the idea that it was trimmed down a bit for carry. Eventually I gave up on that and picked up a Tisa B9 Carry. I want to checker the front strap and put...

    Concealed Carry Vests?

    I'd guess that being 6'3" tall without my boots on and wearing a cowboy hat half the time draws more attention to me than whether or not my jacket has sleeves or extra pockets. I live and work about 10 minutes out of town, which used to be 20 minutes, but the city is growing whether I like it...

    Ready For My CCL Renewal Class

    The gap between serious and casual shooters is pretty big at times. Some folks don't know what is possible until they see someone else actually do it. Others are just clueless. Mix in some non-shooters/first timers and it can be pretty entertaining. I was at our state fair several years ago...

    Weak side carry

    I'm pretty much ambidextrous besides writing and shooting right handed (eye dominance makes shooting right handed more comfortable). 99% of the time I have a pistol on my right side in a pancake type holster. I have settled on carrying my leatherman surge on my left side on my belt and my cell...

    Concealed Carry Vests?

    I have a battery powered vest. It works best as a bottom layer. Put it over a coat and you don't feel the heat. It also requires that I remember to charge the battery, which means its just a normal vest 75% of the time :)

    Concealed Carry Vests?

    I like this one but the pockets seem very low, wish they had better pics. The others I think all leave the gun prone to flashing if I don't keep it zipped. I was ready to order the NRA canvas vest until I saw the white fuzzy lining. That seems like a horrible idea when you live in a barn :uhoh...

    Concealed Carry Vests?

    This is getting to be a good topic. Thanks guys. The vests that originally caught my eye are these ones made by Cinch. I looked at some of them at a horse show last fall and the gun pocket opens at the edge of the zipper so that the gun slides between the lining and and the outer shell and it...

    Concealed Carry Vests?

    The belt gun is always there but it is pretty hard to get to with a coat zipped. An LCP in a pocket holster in an unzipped pocket collects a lot of dirt. Maybe I'm just a bigger wimp than most but I wear a lot of layers. We had a stretch where the high temp didn't get over 15 degrees for...

    Concealed Carry Vests?

    Work varies for me from being home on the farm where varmints are the most likely problem to going out alone and doing welding or repair work where I might have 5000 dollars worth of tools with me in a strange place. I always have the same gun in the same holster strong side on my belt but when...

    Concealed Carry Vests?

    Exactly right, I don't need a cover garment that has all been hashed out and ten months of the year I have covered. When it is 0 deg F and I have to work outside for 10 hours I will have on base layers, a heavy shirt, a 1/4 zip, and a heavy coat over my carhart bibs. Its a 3 step process to...

    Concealed Carry Vests?

    Anyone have anything they like? I prefer belt carry but work outside and have a lot of layers on when the temps get down to zero. Pocket carry used to be OK if I remembered to clean the hay chaff etc. out but Carhart has made the pockets a lot smaller on their bibs this year. Cinch makes a...

    Why not 22TCM?

    My gun came in and I have not made it home from work before dark yet to shoot it but so far I am impressed with it. I actually like the huge grip. I have XXL hands and this is my only gun that really fills my hand and has real estate left for my support hand. It still fits in the holster for my...

    Do you carry a handgun in and around the house?

    Accurate. It was very weird. I can laugh about it now. I finished a bead and flipped the hood up and she was just standing there like you would if you approach 2 people in a conversation and don't want to interrupt so you awkwardly stand there and wait for one of them to quit talking. Soon as I...

    Why not 22TCM?

    Well PSA may have had a double stack .22tcm only gun marked down so much that a guy could buy it and 500 rounds of ammo for less than one of the combo guns, and I may know a guy who might have bought it:rofl: If I see it I will be sure to check it out and take measurements and see if I think a...
