35 years ago when I bought my first handgun I had a choice between a new Bersa 380 and a used Government 380. I LOVED the feel of the Government 380 but couldn't talk myself into carrying cocked and locked so I bought the Bersa. About 10 years ago I bought a Browning 1911-380 and finally...

35 years ago I bought my Berretta 92 INOX. A week later a buddy (in an attempt to out do me) bought a S&W 1006. 35 years later I still have my Beretta 92 INOX... and I am still jealous of his S&W 1006! I really loved shooting his 1006! I assume the 4506 is very similar to the 1006, just in...

If it works for you its not my place to tell you not to! For me, not a chance! I carried my Beretta 92 INOX camping in a Safari (cop) retention holster once. I quickly came to the conclusion that the donut shop cops must be in much better shape than I am. All that weight was just clumsy...

Back in the good old days photographers had big heavy cameras that needed big heavy tripods to keep them steady. Now days everyone uses light little digital cameras and pay a fortune for the lightest weight sturdy carbon fiber tripods they can find leaving a glut of heavier professional tripods...

I also have the XDs (mod 1) and the Kahr CM45. The grip texture on the XDs mod 1 is very harsh. I think this was the big fix for the XDs mod 2. A grip sleeve helps some. I prefer the CM45 but I am a fan of the grip safety on the XDs. I have never held or shot the S&W Shield in 45. The XD...

I like my Ruger PC carbine but it is kind of big and clunky for what it does. I haven't shot mine since I got a Ruger PC Charger with a binary trigger and a tax stamp.

This is exactly what came to mind when reading the original post. I wonder if a fanny pack could be attached to the belt on the back pack? For those that aren't familiar back in the 80's they made concealed carry fanny packs that had a special concealed compartment which could be opened VERY...

Great tip! I am going to start hoarding Happy Meals!

I live in a rural area and am quite comfortable with a pocket 9mm. When I go to the big city I usually up-gun to a small .45 acp. (XDS or Kahr CM45.) If there is no way to get out of going to a questionable area I will usually pack my XD mod 2 3.3" in 45 acp with its 13 round magazine...

"Along with neighboring Sweden, Finland applied to join NATO on 18 May 2022. Following ratification, Finland became a member of NATO on 4 April 2023. Finland has a 1,340-kilometre (830 mi) border with Russia, which upon accession more than doubled NATO's pre-existing border with Russia." I...

I can shoot just about any trigger well but the R51 has a really bad plastic trigger. I really like grip safety's but the R51 grip safety is really loose and pinches the web of my hand between my thumb and for finger. Mine is also not 100% reliable. I would equate the R51 to an FP-45...

My CM9 is a well made perfectly reliable 9mm with a trigger I find very pleasing. I would highly recommend one. My only complaint is that it is too big for me to pocket carry. Actually, I can carry it in a pocket easily but I can't draw it from a pocket quickly or easily. I usually carry my...

I am a big fan of sleeved barrels! A properly tensioned sleeved barrel can reduce barrel whip.

There is nothing wrong with a Glock 23, but it is now Sig 229!

I spent a couple weeks trying to chase off a woodpecker who decided to make Swiss cheese out of my cedar roof. One CC 22lr shotshell at 10 yards from my Ruger Mark II took care of the destruction. That was a couple decades ago, I still have 19 of them left. I appreciated that I didn't have to...

Those are nice looking rifles... they aren't really AR-15's though... they look like a big improvement in my opinion!

I prefer the side charging handle and the ability to put a folding stock on the Mini14. I have 2 friends that sold their Mini14's because they weren't happy with the accuracy (pre-580). I trust their opinions enough that I have never purchased one. My only 5.56/.223 semi-auto is a Sig Spear...

I don't believe these figures are accurate. Oregon passed a ballot measure to greatly limit gun purchases in 2022-2023 so there was a run on guns in Oregon before the new law took affect. I don't think the 462,274 number could be right, I am pretty sure I bought more guns than that! ;)

I have many pocket pistols to choose from. My most carried gun is a DiamondBack DB9. I own 2 of them, a gen 3 and a gen 4. Both have been 100% reliable. They are the largest pistols I can pocket carry and I appreciate being able to pocket carry a 9mm. The Kahr CM9 is a bit bigger and a more...

30 super carry is a niche cartridge. For people with weak, arthritic or petite dainty hands it is a soft shooting cartridge chambered in a very easy to manipulate pistol (S&W M&P Shield EZ) that gives near 9mm energy with more rounds than 9mm or 380 and softer felt recoil than a .380 blow back...
