    Recommendation for .45 range gun

    I love guns with hammers. I always go with HK if I want a polymer gun with a hammer. They are very accurate and really tame recoil. For a .45, a Ruger 1911 is a great value and very reliable. I also love Sigs. I once owned an X5 with a trigger pull of slightly more than 2 lbs. Strictly a range...

    What is the best defense cartridge 357 Mag

    I have had many guns pass through my hands but I always keep a .357 Magnum gun. Back in 1971 when I lived in Texas, real men carried a .357 Magnum. The 1911 was somewhat popular due to guys like me returning from Nam and being familiar with them. However, back then 1911's were very unreliable...

    Kimber Revolver? Shot Show

    I have since seen videos on YouTube and although I am a revolver guy, I cannot see buying one due to it's price and lack of anything revolutionary about it. I think Kimber is trading in on its name in the revolver market. I can see it coming out in all different pretty colors like there other...

    Bore light...to illuminate the bore

    Although I have a bore light you can save yourself money by just putting a piece of white paper on one end of the barrel and reflecting light off of it. It is surprisingly bright. However, if you do not have a source of light to reflect (a flashlight will do), then get a bore light. They are not...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    I bought two at the same time. The first is a Springfield 1911 Champion in 9mm. Lightweight 4" barrel, full sized grip with fiber optic sights. For some reason, a 32 ounce 1911 carries better for me than my Glock 19. The second one is a Ruger LCR 6 shot .327 Magnum. I always liked guns...

    Do you clean your carry gun or do you not bother?

    As a former combat vet I know the importance of keeping your weapons clean and lubricated. I am anal about mine. They get cleaned if I only fire one shot. They get checked every few weeks to see if they need to be lubed again. I have a small collection so I cannot lubricate them all every month...

    What is your gun type/brand preferences?

    My first semi was a Beretta, the one James Bond used to carry in his early career. When he switched to the PPK, so did I. Back in the early 70's, in Texas, semi autos were not as popular as revolvers. Everyone liked a 1911 but they did not reliably feed hollow points without work being done on...

    What is your gun type/brand preferences?

    I rarely carry my LCP, choosing my Colt XSP instead. However, I have a Veridian Laser sight on its way to me and I will use the LCP as my nighttime pocket gun. My eyes are not what they used to be due to age, so I have been gradually putting lasers on my carry guns and getting holsters for the...

    H&K or Sig

    I have Sigs, HKs and Glocks mostly. You did not mention what trigger options those guns had. DAO or DA/SA. They do come in both. I have Sigs in DAO, SA, DA/SA. Same with HKs. A Sig DA/SA P229 sits in my night table. A HK P30 with a light LEM trigger is my desk gun and a Glock 19 is my living...

    XD-S Owners?

    I bought the first XDs. Here is my take on them. As far as the 9mm version goes, it is too heavy compared to similar single stack guns. It felt too heavy in my pocket. My Sig P938 and Kahr PM9, for example, are quality guns that are lighter and carry better. Springfield's ad focus on the guns'...

    What is your gun type/brand preferences?

    I was checking the handguns in my gun safe. Sometimes I just order guns and am not really aware of which types and brands of guns I seem to prefer. I have had about 60 guns pass through my hands in the last 5 1/2 years. Enough guns to get the attention of the ATF asked my LGS about me. He told...

    Good low priced AR scope?

    Take a look at http://primaryarms.com Their own brand are Chinese but better than most of the others in their price range. For close work there is nothing wrong with iron sights. Red dots are OK but in your price range they tend to have small apertures and fuzzy dots. The other problem is that...

    ruger sp101 357mag

    I have owned two of them; one was a hammerless model. Love to shoot them but too heavy for me to carry. My carry revolvers are between 11-13 ounces and my range revolvers are all over 33 ounces, with some at 44 ounces. As much as I love the SP101, they are a little too heavy and large for...

    2015 Kimber Solo - Are you satisfied with yours?

    I considered it but bought the Sig P938 instead. It is the only gun I have not thought about trading. With the extended mag I can get a full handed grip on it and it is pretty soft shooting for a small gun. I always use 124 gr. 9mm ammo in small guns and I have a lot of small guns. Take a look...

    22magnum J Frame for self defense? Opinions?

    With the new .22 mag. ammo from Speer and Hornady just to name two, you will get expansion from a short barrel. A .22 magnum is nothing to sneeze about. It had great penetration and now also has expansion. I just bought a gun off of an ex-marine who carrys a Keltec PM30 which holds 30 rounds of...

    Double Action 45 ACP thoughts?

    Check out Springfield's 1911 lightweight compact range officer or champion range officer. I just bought the Champion Range Officer. They are both aluminum framed Commander sized 1911's wit the compact having a slightly shorter grip. The Ruger lightweight CMD 1911 is a great gun at a great...
