    hybrid IWB comfort around 0300?

    I've been using Remora's for a couple years now. I like them, they're comfortable and affordable. I EDC a little single stack nine. I've found I like a VERY STRONG forward cant. With the pistol around 3 o'clock (the rear of the slide closer to 2:30 and the muzzle around 3:30). I like this...

    Crimson Trace LTG-701(1911 LightGuard), anybody, experience?

    OK, so i'm considering putting a light on my Kimber 10mm. Since it's not railed, my options are limited. I would prefer not to drill and tap. I've looked at a few different options. I'm leaning towards the Crimson Trace LightGuard LTG-701, for 1911. Does anybody have any experience with...

    You know...that 1911 holster, I saw...one time?

    I once saw a picture of a Kydex holster. It had a version of a sweat shield/flab tab, that only extended UNTIL the thumb safety. Made in such a way that it would not let the (thumb) safety move off safe. Without actually covering the (thumb) safety. I can't remember who the maker was? Does...

    Cantilever...sights...ideas?

    I'm looking to get another pump 12 gauge, in a "riot" configuration. Thinking of also getting a cantilever, rifled slug barrel, too. I'd like whatever sighting system I use, to stay with the barrel. I could go Red Dot, I suppose? Meh... I'd rather go with iron sights. Ghost Ring preferred...

    John Hopkins...AWB...effectiveness...

    Just heard an interview on NPR with some guy from John Hopkins. Here's a few quotes... "...the previous Assault Weapons Ban had no measurable impact on crime..." "...the incidence of large capacity magazines in GUN crime is insignificant..." "...I'm not sure what an Assault Weapon...

    Sig P290RS- review

    Well I've finally replaced the snub nose, as my deep cover/summer carry piece. Converted to the metric system, too. 10mm for my "big boy gun" and 9mm for everything else. I got a new two-tone Sig P290RS for $493, shipped. Included Sig-lite night sights, a laser (sold it) and the mags and...

    Anybody put XS Big Dots on a Sig P290/P290RS?

    I'm picking up my Sig P290RS today. I'd like to put XS Big Dots on it. I know they will fit. I just don't know what height to go with? They come with #8= rear & #6= front. But that has no direct correlation with XS's heights. XS hasn't tested for the best height with this model yet. I've seen...

    .357...10mm...now .44special? Maybe 624?

    These rambling questions I'm about to go on about are all in the context of a woods or trail gun. I've got other platforms for daily CC. Whatever I settle on does need to be concealable, but not like "deep concealment." Just out of sight, so as not to freak out other hikers. Think under a light...

    Shield .40 case support?

    Ok, stupid question, but I can't find out in any searches... Does the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield in .40s&w have full case support? Anyone know conclusively, maybe have one?

    Are non-leather gun belts squeaky?

    Ok stupid question, I know. I need a new gun belt. I like leather, I've researched and found a couple leather belts I like. As much as I like leather, it squeaks. While I can address this with a little talcum powder between the belt and (leather) holsters. That irritates me. I spend good money...

    Trouble with Trailboss?

    I'm loading Trailboss for my 1950 Colt Detective Special. My objective is very mild and reasonably accurate ''powder-puff'' loads. This is may not be relavent but, I'm using 158gr LSWC Bear Creek Supply Moly-bullets. I'm using an old Pacific powder measure. It works fine with other powders...

    1st Gen. Glock 19?

    I've recently acquired a Glock 19, serial #AHS8**. Is this a 1st Gen.? Last time I owned a Glock, 1st Gen. was all there was. I guess I'm out of the loop with these? Digging around, I get the impression these are rare? Maybe worth a little more? I have no use for this, I'm going to sell. Any...

    Detective Special, bob hammer, maybe?

    I'm thinking of bobbing the hammer on my DS (1950). This is a big maybe. If I do, are there reliability issues? Would prefer an extra hammer, so I can save the original. Can hammers still be found? Where? Thanks

    Virtually new 1950 Colt Detective Special!

    First of all, I'm sorry I can't post pictures. I have a 1950 Colt Detective Special, it looks as good as could imagined. Bluing is 100%, no cylinder line, no wear marks, perfect. It has been fired, or so I've been told. No box, though. I'm going to use it. It's made to be carried and shot. I...

    XS Big Dot on J-frame with intergral front sight?

    Has anybody tried this? Apparently, you mill off most of the sight. Leaving a 'post' that the Big Dot goes over. It is then held on with epoxy. How secure is this? Would a cross pin be a good idea?
