Thanks for all the replies and thought. Can anyone recommend a good inside the pocket holster for the Kimber Micro 9.

While I understand the concerns of some with having federal law even address concealed carry, for many of us who live close to other states, especially states with restrictive gun laws, getting a federal reciprocity statute, next to preserving Heller, should be our top priority. I'd urge...

Just acquired a new Kimber Micro 9 which is a largely 1911 design. ( I say largely, because it does not appear to have a grip safety) It was purchased for concealed carry. Heretofore, I have not carried cocked and locked, but have used other designs. I have been tempted to carry with a full...

As the vast majority of replies indicate, using deadly force to defend a pet is likely a very bad idea for many reasons. Discussions of how you might find some legally defensible position should be left to your attorney, but understand you will at that point already be regretting your decision...

I have tried many 357s, but my 686 remains my favorite. Perhaps because it was my first gun ever---other than my BB gun @ age 7---back in the days when I thought I was going to buy just one gun. I note some people prefer the older 686s but I can't claim to know if they are right. Has anyone...

For calibers where used brass is hard to find, I often purchase new brass. While I am tempted by the great marketing claims that some manufacturers are better than others (and, regretfully, believe you get what you pay for) I usually end up going with the best price. I have not noticed any...

Thanks for all the replys Some of you asked if the length was after sizing...the answer is yes. I really don't know why the cases were a little short, I suspect they were simply that way new....most show only one "notch" from being ejected. Anyway, thanks for all the help WJWLAWZ

I am trying to find the correct seating depth for a new bullet. I created a dummy round (no primer or powder). As I reduce the OAL, the bolt now closes without force and appears to be functioning fine. However, the bullet shows marks circling the ogive which I believe to be the lands from...

I finally sorted out my many .223 cases and found that I have many which are slightly below the trim to length of 1.750". By slightly below, I mean anywhere from 1.738 to 1.745". I plan on loading them anyway, as I've read factory ammo often has cases slightly below the trim to length. I will...

Guy...I think you are right Foolishness knows no limit.....so I suspect you will be right

Eventually, you are going to want several, probably all of them. But for your first one I'd suggest the Hodgdon Magazine (available on line or most reloading stores) then the Lee. The Lee has all the limitations others have noted, but it is a collection of almost all the others. In a world...

I was considering picking up a Lee FCD to solve problems with reloading semi auto rounds. I have, hopefully, figured out how to get my semi auto reloads up to near 100% effectiveness ( uniform case lengths and just enough belling of the mouth to get the bullet started). But I am always looking...

In today's world of limited magazine capacity in many states and negative press, revolvers are making a comeback. They are nearly as concealable as very small auto's; 38+p's are sufficient for most needs and 357's are available if you like the recoil. Revolvers are almost impossible to jam...

Lot's of good advice...here's mine I own both a G19 and a G 23. I must say that I have come to prefer the G19. There are many trade offs and reasons why some fans prefer one over the other. For me, the .40 cal is a little "whippy" something many others have said. It has slightly less...

Thanks Thanks for the info WJWLAWZ

Can you help with these two ? A S&W J frame: Mod 60; 5 shot; .38 cal.;1&7/8" barrel; stainless steel. On the bottom of the grip is ADZ80xx. There are also several other markings on the sides of the grip. These include 7583 and a J (circled) and a D (in a triangle). I know when I purchased it...

wjwlawz Why do I feel like I'm at an AA meeting? Hi, I'm Bill and I have a gun problem....I can't afford to acquire all the great guns I see out there and have to pick and choose which to collect. It all started of course with that first BB gun at age 7. My parents thought I could never...
