First question, what is BJJ? My formal fight training was in Boxing, at Lowe House Church. A club run by catholic priests. As a big kid, 5'10" at 15 YOA. Height was the criteria for matching up with a sparring partner? When your match up was 20 years of age? I quickly learned to be first off the...

Bearcreek seems to have given you a solution. Purchase a pistol in SC, totally divorced from that NY Crap! My latest purchase a Glock 43X gives you 10+1 rounds of 9mm HP. Very slim, and you can buy it with factory installed night sights.

The new cartridge and new Bull Pup rifle the .280 produced by the Brits right after WW11 was squashed by the USA, in favour of the .308. Which was then replaced by the 5.56 an even smaller round than the .280. As a teenager, I watched a demonstration on Pathy News? In which an armourer held the...

The BodyGuard for Princess Margaret, a retired London Police Officer, carried a PPK in .380, carried it for years, never unloaded a magazine, an attempt on her Royal Highness' life, it fired the first round (He missed) then the mag was sized. A young Boxer running bye stepped in, and laid the...

You do know he was in the Royal Navy? Hard to spend time in the Royal Navy, and not fire a weapon.

When we first started shooting IPSC in Ontario Canada, someone gave me some 700X Shotgun powder. Then I found it in 12 lb metal cans. In Buffalo NY State. So my 1911 Colt .45 loads were semi-wadcutter lead 200g Hensley and Gibbs cast loads, pushed by 5.2g of 700X made major calibre. This powder...

Looking at the person asking the question, the first question I would ask, how do you dress mostly. If it is a dress suit? You are limited. Size and capacity. My latest purchase, the slim 9mm, the Glock 43X. The magazine it comes with, a ten-round capacity magazine, 9mm. But an aftermarket all...

If you point a pistol at a felon the one who happens to be where you are! In poor light. You had better have night sights. Me, a 9mm Glock 19. That is all I carry. Outside the belt carry, spare G17 magazine. Cops carry this model of gun, night and day, with night sights. I never go anywhere, on...

I think to move to Florida, which I did from Canada in 2004. Your best bet! The weather is better, the politics are better. A Glock 19 sits behind me, on my bedside table, loaded with 16 rounds of Federal 147g HST! Legal. You will have a problem doing that just now, the Cops are turning the New...

When I first joined a Gun Club, in Atherton England. I used to get a lift with an older member, I was 18 YOA. I had been reading up on reloading. In being shown his reloading shed (bottom of the yard) he showed me how he had emptied all the little packets of pistol primers into a jam jar, with a...

Living in Florida, with a carry license, I carry every day. A 147g Federal HST 9mm round, will do an adequate stop and desist, per a double-tap (Or more!) fired into a human adversary who has shown criminal intent. As there is two of us only in this little townhouse, as I am on this Lap Top, my...

I have not shot the gun games for a while. So my concern is what I carry. Which is all 9mm. In carrying two pistols, both 9mm the Glock 19 4th Gen Currently, the G43X when my Urban Carry holster arrives. A lighter, more concealable package. Not shot anyone yet, probably will not ever but we...

Quite a few years ago, when I lived in Toronto, returning home from a pistol match, I shot a 9mm Black Tallon, over a chronograph, at that match. From a Glock 19. It made exactly 1000 fps. Which I thought was quite good. Was presented with a Federal SXT in 147g, from my wife yesterday (It had...

Changing pistols like changing tee shirts is not my idea of common sense. Depends on age as well. 30 years of age, going to work in an office, every day? Or like me, 84 YOA, and not working at anything. Big difference. Very rarely go out without my Wife, just what we prefer. Tried out the Glock...

I am a transplant, born in Liverpool UK in 1935. Carry a Glock 19 every day. Played with a new Glock 43X for a while? But went back to that nice G19. Hard to beat 16 rounds of Federal 147g ready to go. I started school at aged 5, left at 15. A couple of months off, whilst they fixed the damage...

The Brits fielded a .280 cartridge, in a Bull Pup rifle, in 1949? The Yanks said no way and changed the 30-06 for the 7.62X51 round. I watched a Pathe newsreel, full auto, resting buttstock on the chin! The EM2. Emptied the whole mag. A 3000 ft 5.56 round gets it done. Just take the full auto...

I was on the other side of that story, I helped out a buddy, who owned a Gun Shop, in Toronto, he fell, and broke his leg! Whisky stairs! Friday at 5-45 pm. We closed at 6 pm. In comes, a customer he had been drinking, arrived on the bus, would be going home the same way. He was picking up his...

I was thinking just that! The picture on my I-phone, guns in safe. Then explain, finances, ("Were you ever cash short? as I am) If you are not happy serving me. I will get someone else?

Yesterday, I set out to buy new, good Scissors for my Wife, she was engaged in making capes for my 59-year-old Daughter who runs an animal welfare organization. I was up, showered, and ready for off, P was covered in bits of green shiny material. As I went to Office Depot, and back home, with...

I was on Vacation my Safe was cut open with a welding torch, took 3 days, Ex Brinks safe, weighed 1700 lbs. The hinges had to be cut off! My (EX) Business partner had a key, he was to connect a line to the local Police Dept. Within the first week, I was away, I was out of the Country. We had a...
