I've noticed among posts that the Defender seems to be more popular than the New Agent. Is this because of the gutter sights? If there are other differences, what are they? I'm in the mood to pick either one for CC and probably sell my Officer's, mostly because of the weight differential since...

It seems that every time this subject comes up, its placed under "Here we go again" or it's considered some heresy against the Weaver or any type of two-hand hold. I say: hogwash and closed-mindedness! An exhaustive NYPD report (NYPD SOP 9) revealed that in 70% of recorded police shootings...

I don't shoot revolvers too often, but notice how the "Master" positions his shooting thumb resting against the cylinder. From many previous discussions, some consider this a "no-no" for a few reasons. BTW, this is from a 1962 article... Any thoughts or opinions being changed? I find my SS...

In this current ammo crisis, I really believe we've created a monster of our own design. Hearing that our nearest Wally World received a limited supply of centerfire pistol ammo, I found myself next in service. The clerk advised me that the fella before me just purchased $2,000 worth of ammo...

I have a hypothesis I'd like to put to rest. I'll explain after a week of the poll. Did you start with a .22LR in a handgun or rifle?

It’s been a decade since the death of Col. Rex Applegate. I think many are not aware of his immense contribution to the firearms industry and to shooters…There is no doubt that a young Marine named Jeff Cooper was taught by the manual of combat training by Applegate. For decades, “Kill or Get...

Tuner, you made a good case about reliability issues with barrel lengths shorter than the Commander. How about long slide issues? AMT has a 1911 with a 7" slide, and Para-Ord. with their 6" slide on the Super Hawg? What are the theoritical implications of success or failure with longer...

I noticed a small comment about Brian Enos promoting this product in a current gun rag issue...Looking it up on the web, they claim the above! Are you kidding me?:confused: Someone explain this to me in a scientific/physics discussion that makes any sense before I call the FTC for misleading...

Yes, all the time. Only if I know the reloader Never, no way. Only from vendors at gun shows.

Yes, I know that generally speaking a straight-draw holster might be slightly faster unconcealed. However, in other areas I find it to be more comfortable while sitting/driving & while digging in my pants pocket for keys or change w/o exposing my piece. Striving to be in decent shape, especially...

An excerpt from an article by Jeff Cooper written some 20 yrs ago caught my attention..Of course, many things he had to say had important relevance. Anyway, he stated that he could spot a novice shooter by simply noticing whether on the 1911 he had his thumb riding the safety lever or below...

Back in the late 60's, Savage Arms would picture every month a Native American with one of their latest model rifle or shotgun. No doubt, reinforcing the connection between Indian & "Savage". Could they get away with this in today's "politically correct" society with all the civil rights...

Sorry about being late with poll.

I sometimes think that the expression that one’s pistol far exceeds the user’s capabilities derives in part from flinching….This phenomenon almost is equated to emasculating ones psyche. All the experts tell us that recoil, noise, and muzzle blast heads to the mysterious corridors of the...

Browsing through a 1964 Guns & Ammo magazine, I was somewhat surprised at a Cooper reply concerning continuous-all-purpose shooting of a 1911. Basically, he stated that most serious shooters change to a S&W rear sight and use a recoil buffer to prolong sight life. I've heard of a few reasons...

I've had this pistol for a few years after picking it up for a "song" at a pawnshop. After sitting in the store for months, he was glad to get rid of it due to lack of interest with the not so common ammo...I know what he meant since I never could locate any when I decided to look. Been in a...

I love going to my barber shop since he always has an assorted "oldies-but goodies" gun magazines to read...Anyway, looking at an Elmer Keith article written some 40 yrs ago, he stated that while working as a final inspector at the Ogden Arsenal during WW11 him & his buddy used a quick remedy...

I never thought I’d find something as unique in a 9mm than my Daewoo in “fast-action”. This is a “Wundernine” of the 1st magnitude. Duel Mode: Pistol/Revolver by a turn of a screw. BTW, the mag has a protrusion at the base to act as a screwdriver. In the R mode, I wanted a DA trigger where...

the elusive original matching magazine. .I had scoured pawn shops, countless guns shows and only gazed upon a few #’d mags over the years. Unfortunately, I had to purchase the pistol to acquire the complete set of #’s…Crazy, but it was an obsession with me…The search & challenge has always been...
