    Got my new 9mm S&W FPC

    I saw this at the gun store yesterday. They just got them in yesterday morning. Managed to snag one :) Now, I am waiting for the optic I ordered to come in. I watched a Youtube video to show me how t take it apart. It's not too hard, but it's a bit different. Once I get the optic, I get to...

    New Glock 42

    I have a Ruger LCP - 1st Gen. I really hate shooting that gun. But, it makes a good pocket gun. However, I am not a huge fan, but at least it is reliable. The LCP Max doesn't really interest me, though. I started reading and watching reviews of the Glock 42. I rented it a couple of weeks ago. I...

    Gave my son my Glock 19

    I took my son shooting yesterday. He has a Buckmark he shoots. Then, I always let him put a few rounds thru some of my 9mms. I have shot nothing but my Shield Pluses for the past 8 months (I have a Perf Center 4", Performance Center 3", and a regular 3" Shield Plus with night sights). But, he...

    Who else is a fan of fiber optic sights?

    For years, I avoided fiber optic sights. I had read posts by so many people over the years how they broke so easily. Then I discovered the ones S&W uses on their Shield/Shield Plus series. They have metal spirals that wrap around the rods - protecting them. So, I have them a chance on a Shield...

    New Fiber Optic sights for my HK P2000

    I never cared for fiber optic sights for years. But after getting a Performance Center Shield last year, I found I loved them. I also like the red/green combo.... Then, I ended up getting two Performance Center Shield Pluses (and I sold the thinner Shield).... Same fiber optic setup... Then...

    M9A3 with fiber optic sights installed

    I asked WAL (member at the Beretta Forum who does Beretta gunsmithing) to install fiber optics on my M9A3 recently. I was never into them for years, but then got hooked when I started buying Performance Center Shields in the summer of 2021. I've been having issues seeing the white ring...

    My new John Wick 2 Combat Master

    Well, after 14 months, I got this in FINALLY. The John Wick 2 Combat Master I went and shot it yesterday. I had a few issues in the first few rounds. But, then switched from 115gr ammo to 124grain ammo - as I know some guns have issues with lower powered ammo, and they need something hotter...

    New FDE Beretta CX4

    I am still waiting on my optic and side rails to arrive. And, I still need Sierra Papa to call me back, so I can order another extended charging handle.... But, I just picked it up :D

    Ok, now I am RE-Shielded (x4)

    I picked up my Performance Center 3.1" Shield Plus today.... I'll probably get to go shoot it later in the week. It is ported, but that is the only way they sell that model. I have a standard barrel I just ordered for it, so I can swap the ported barrel. Done collecting Shields now :D I NEVER...

    I've been Shielded x3!

    I picked up a S&W 4" Performance Center Shield this morning. I will say that it does whip the llamas' ass :D - I am really impressed by how this gun shoots. No kidding. I also got a 4" Shield 2.0 earlier this summer. And, at the time - I debated as to which version to get... Go figure, now I...

    Took my girlfriend shooting yesterday....

    Yesterday, I took my girlfriend shooting. I took a couple of my fullsize handguns with us. This was only 2nd time she has shot a handgun. My girlfriend isn't really into guns, and owns none. But, she doesn't mind going to shoot very occasionally. I have tried to get her to go a few other times...

    It sucks to get older...

    Man, it sucks to get old... It really gets harder to use handgun sights as you get older. I picked up a new Gen 4 Glock 17 about 2 weeks ago. And, I finally got my 2 dot Warren Sevigny sights in over the weekend. So, I brought the slide to the local gun shop today, and I had them put the sights...

    Unbelievable, dumb cleaning mistake - kills friend

    Wow - just wow... How careless must you be...

    Wow. I bought a Glock!

    I know, I know... I am a diehard DA/SA guy... But, since the Glock 48 came out, it has caught my eye. And, I was impressed with the thinner width of the gun every time I held one. After buying that Beretta APX last June, striker fired guns sorta caught my attention again. NO, I haven't lost my...

    Changed about your handgun interests?

    I think it is interesting how we change as we get older... Years ago - I use to treat all my guns like museum pieces. Unless it was a carry gun - I did all I could to keep a gun from getting marked up or scratched. If something got scratched or damaged, I'd be irritated for quite some time...

    Finally got my 9mm Shield - again

    I ordered a 9mm Shield from Palmetto State Armory at the end of last month - They had the gen 1 models for $249. I used to own 2 Shields when they very first came out - later sold them, but missed having one. It makes a good pocket gun in cargo pants. Got one again finally - Waited 2 weeks...

    Beretta APX and Orange Ameriglo sights

    I picked up a Beretta APX back in June. After the $100 rebate, the gun would be $279. Not a bad deal. Striker fired guns are not usually my thing - but it was a Beretta. No place I know has one for rent - but I gave it a shot for the price. It shot pretty well. But, because they made the front...

    Beretta APX Centurion

    I ordered this on Saturday - it arrived yesterday... I hope to shoot it soon. But, I like it a lot so far. I will say that it feels great in the hand with the medium backstrap that already comes on it. I have smaller hands, and I like that my hand sits closer to the trigger than it does on many...

    Mini Review - Craft Holster - Hk P2000 leather holster

    Last year, I got a Craft holster for my Walther P99 handgun, and I wrote a review of that particular holster on this very gun forum. Well, I decided to get ANOTHER holster from Craft - this time for my Hk P2000. ( https://www.craftholsters.com ). The P2000 is my main carry gun - it's been my...
