You are at the mall, with your wife. You are armed, as you usually are, with your normal EDC—whatever that is for you. It is busy, maybe Black Friday, or during the last few days of Christmas shopping. You hear “firecrackers” in the nearby Cafe Square and you are afraid they aren’t really...

So, I really like my new 5” M&P 2.0 with the thumb safety. I intentionally bought it WITH the thumb safety because I WANT the extra safety and because I have carried a 1911 for 10+ years and know what to do with it. The problem is that the soft, ambi-safety has been bumped OFF SAFE three times...

So, ever since I discovered I could shoot 110 grain .357 ammunition without pain, I’ve been carrying my GP100 revolver more regularly. What I’d like to find is a way to carry a belt pouch or two of spare ammunition. These could be leather or nylon. Anything with 6 rounds or more is fine, but if...

If you could carry any handgun you wanted, but you had to actually carry it most every day for a year, and you only wanted to carry a weapon that gave you an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE, what would you carry! Thanks for playing.

My grip strength is a bit, shall we say, VARIABLE, due to illness, so I'm on a quest to tame the recoil of my 5" .45 ACP 1911. Here is my plan: Stock 16 pound recoil spring for reliability, ease in racking the slide and no excess slamming of the slide as it closes Heavier main spring (from...

I have a 7 year old Para Series 80 1911 and want a HEAVIER trigger pull. Why? Well, I'm a klutz, I actually carry this gun in public, and the current trigger pull just feels too light to me. I feel like I need to be TOO careful with it, and don't want the distraction. I don't want to baby the...

So, new car, sporty type bucket seats. Very uncomfortable with the gun on the belt at 4:00 position. (Hate appendix carry.) So, I draw the pistol from my stiff, leather OWB beltslide holster and set it on my lap, with my seatbelt over the top. DA only Sig P250 so it should be pretty safe there...

I'm planning to sell off all the guns that hurt my hands (due to a muscle disorder, these guns, in my hands, have a stinging recoil). That includes my LCP, LCR and P345. I'm tired of fighting with my equipment at the range. At the same time, I feel uncomfortable carrying a pistol I literally...

I have a Compact Sig P250 that I really enjoy shooting, however I find the Compact Medium grip module a bit thick. It feels too big in my hand and in a concealed carry holster, it prints more than my single column .45s. So, now I need to think about swapping out the Compact Medium grip module...

Imagine this scenario: You are asleep in your bed at O'Dark-30 when you hear a bump in the night. You are pretty sure it's a cat or a raccoon (otherwise you would call the police). As you grab your cocked and locked 1911 pistol and head out to investigate ... Is the thumb safety ON or OFF...

I am a fan of traditional double action pistols, party because I'm a bit clumsy. Also, my hands are weak and the slide mounted safety levers, the ones that 1911 fans love to hate, make slide manipulation easier for me. My problem is making my new KP345 more pleasant to shoot and manipulate. The...

Tell me if this makes sense to you. I like TDA pistols, so I recently picked up a NEW/OLD STOCK Ruger P345. It worked fine, but kicked a lot for me and felt kind of clunky. So, I switched to a lighter 19 pound hammer spring and a heavier 17 pound recoil spring. The pistol is now much more...

I just returned from the range after shooting two very different .45 autos--the Para 1911 and the Ruger P345. One was an excellent Threat Management Tool, the other an excellent Gun Fighting Weapon. These guns could hardly be more different. The Para was a GI Expert. Single action. Frame...

A couple years ago, Ruger discontinued the P345--before I could buy one! I carried a S&W 645 for 15 years. I loved the features but got tired of the weight of the big Smith. Now, the P345 is back, perhaps never to be seen again, so I'm buying one. I'm looking for tips and suggestions from P345...

So, I saw this very nice looking Savage Axis .223 bolt action at Wal Mart. They had the rifle and a Mil Dot Scope for about $360.00. I've never been hunting, but always wanted a rifle and this one felt good in my hands, so I bought it. Now what? What gun games can I play with a .223 bolt...

I'm looking for a fun gun in .223. Just something to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon at the range. Thinking of a Savage or Remington package with a factory supplied scope and rings, but I know very little about long guns. What do you recommend for a bolt action .223? PS It's either that of...

I have a Sig P250 Compact and need a new OWB holster. I'm wondering if the Galco Yaqui Belt Slide or Paddle are concealable? I had a Yaqui slide from another company and it didn't hide my S&W 439 very well. I just wonder if the Galco version is better. I saw Tom Selleck's character wearing...

Just wanted to let you folks know, I recently bought a Sig P250 Compact. This is the 9mm with an almost 4" barrel, three dot sights and a full double action only trigger with second strike capability. I fired 100 rounds of Winchester 115 grain FMJ, plus 20 rounds of Winchester 115 grain Silver...

What CAN I and what CAN'T I carry in the land of mobsters, crooked politicians and gun control advocates some people call Chicago? :banghead: My son will be graduating from Navy Bootcamp. I am planning to attend the ceremony and will be driving up to the Naval Station Great Lakes, IL. This is...

I have a perfectly good M&P that just doesn't excite me. I want to sell it to a local dealer, but I don't know what is a fair price. Please give me your best trade-in estimate. The gun has a 4" barrel, fixed night sights, ambi-safety, one spare magazine and a nice Burwell trigger job. I have...
