Interesting to me that you note this, as I find that there are far more detractors of the 92/M9 than folks that actually have experience with the pistol and appreciate its major attributes -- the ease of racking its slide, and how soft it shoots. My wife, who has advanced arthritis in her hands...

We're talkin' basically the exact same model, right? I've sold a (commercial) Beretta M9 only to buy another one a few years later. I've sold at least 7 1911s (4 Springfields, 2 Kimbers, 1 Colts) that I can remember and replaced each one within a couple years with the exact same models. Sold...

This is the best answer I've seen in the thread.

Too true. And I've always felt that most folks (especially those who've never had to draw and shoot against either a timer or in a real world bad situation) seriously underestimate how long it takes them to draw a concealed handgun and get at least one center of mass hit on a paper target from...

Bingo! And you should not, ever, ever trust any of the "statistics" that came out of the COVID years. Aside from the rampant absenteeism in every agency, there was a ton of administrative incompetence that'd already been endemic in U.S. law enforcement for years Guess what positions in any...

I'd agree completely, that's a heckuva cool score! I picked up the PT-92 in 1991; when it was introduced as the "AFS-D" model, the first de-cocker model. Still a favorite pistol. When Taurus polished the slide flats, used the walnut grips, with the much more discreet roll marks (the new...

Having had two careers in which I had extensive opportunities to use sub-machine guns with full-auto capability, the novelty quickly wore off. Unless you're independently wealthy, owning a bullet-hose is simply an exercise in throwing away money. BT, DT. Townsend Whelen was right. Give me...

Yeah, Paul, I mentioned that back in post #50. But I kept watching the show because it was one of my mom's favorites and about the last series she followed after going into assisted living, but I also felt the Lou Diamond Phillips character was pretty well portrayed (oh, and I've had the hots...

Favor SIG P-series pistols, the 227 in .45 ACP, old 228s, new 229s. On the days where my body says no, a SIG P-365 or 365 XL fits the bill. Always OWB, prefer a good Kramer Belt Scabbard in horsehide strongside at about 3:00 or 3:330 or a lightweight DeSantis Speed Scabbard.

Great job with the pics, Mark.

Excellent case to bring up. Even in some more conservative jurisdictions, it's worth remembering that a prosecutor's job is to obtain convictions, not serve justice. This was clearly a biased prosecution (and in the current political climate we are seeing this over and over) with a white...

No, not normally. Finding a holster for your particular pistol/WML combination can sometimes be a problem, though. What @wally said: The possible advantage, granted for unlikely scenarios, is that the WML (absolutely has to be securely mounted, they can loosen up) can conceivably be used as a...

Well, Article I of the United States Constitution still lists issuing Letters of Marque and Reprisal in Section 8 as one of the enumerated powers of Congress. So, with all the maintenance problems and breakdowns plaguing the U.S. Navy's fleets these days (it's embarrassing, really), maybe a few...

John, at this point, I'll just let you have the last word.

Well, as I noted previously, if one hasn't been stocking up, one is behind the curve... I try to put myself in the position of those that have little or no disposable income to buy ammunition (my first few years in the military, buying a couple 50 round boxes of 9mm or .38 was an extravagance)...

I'm not seeing this as another panic-buying thread. Those normally are based on national economics. This is simply a question asked based on observations about the current -- and emergent -- world situation.

Good lord, man. Most here are perfectly fine parroting the "slippery slope" argument (as well as the "frog in the pot over the burner being slowly turned up") yet fail to understand that when we, the ostensibly pure in heart RKBA supporters, mock and denigrate those within our community who...

Please understand that if anything goes to court, what is considered is, "What was your perception at the time (leading up to the incident)?" And how would a reasonable person, knowing only what you knew at the time, have responded in the same type of situation? You absolutely do not have to...

Remlin? Ruglin? I will say that I've examined several of the Ruger-made Marlins recently, and they've all looked very good The Remington made Marlins, a bit rough. My 336W is a JM-marked Marlin I picked up, used and unfired, for $350 just a few years back, and even though it was a later...

So you're saying there's just no hope in fighting back on a commercial airplane? While I agree that there's a butt-ton of internet bluster on the topic... Presuming that the hi-jacker isn't extensively trained in martial arts (and I'm having trouble envisioning any scenario where the...
