    Taurus G3 -quick range report

    My G2 is dead on with a Combat Sight Picture (IE hits center of front dot). Where you by chance using a 6 o'clock hold? I think the slack would be pretty normal for a SA/DA Pistol. Did you by chance drop the striker to see what the DA felt like? Of course I have no idea how you would access it...

    New project... and it's not a gun.

    Not ballistics gel but we did an impromptu test of a .31 Caliber 1849 Colt Pocket with 14 grains FFFg and a .32 Caliber Squirrel Rifle Replica with 28 grains. The 1849 completely penetrated 4 gallon jugs of water and the .32 Squirrel Rifle completely penetrated 6 gallon jugs. We didn't have...

    Reload Carry

    LCP - 14 Rounds (1+6 & 7) .40c M2.0 - 29 Rounds (1+13 & 15) .45 Shield - 21 Rounds (1+6 & 7x2) I didn't really start out planning to carry two guns. It just wasn't an imposition to leave the LCP and the spare mag in my pockets, so why not. Honestly the spare mag for the .40c is more in case of...

    Update: Sig P365 XL disappointed

    I have seen several recommendations of breaking them in with 124 gr. I broke mine in with S&B 124 NATO for the most part so I don't know how it would have responded to low pressure 115 gr. Since break-in it will start malfunctioning after about 350-400 rounds of WWB until cleaned. It runs...

    Hi Point YC-9 "Yeet Cannon" / Next "step up" in 9mm ?

    S&B .45 ACP is pretty warm. I get about 860-870 fps out of a 5" barrel where most of the other ball runs 780-840 fps. S&B 124 9mm NATO did 1270 fps out of a Beretta 92FS so I would say it's on the warm side as well. I think that was German Contract Overun. I'm not sure if all S&B NATO is...

    Need advice on a good IWB left hand holster.

    I have one for my .45 Shield and one for my M&P M2.0 Compact 4". They adjust for tension with 4 Screw System which tightens the shell. It has rubber washers but you do have to use Loctite to keep the screws from moving over time. I haven't really had an issue with the finish on the S&W M&P Line...

    Reload Carry

    When I get dressed in the morning I slide an LCP in the right hip pocket and a spare 7-Round Mag in the left front pocket. If I go out I add either a double stack with a spare mag or a single stack (summer) with two spare mags. I had a buddy ask why I carried all the extra ammo with a backup...

    Derringers - Any practical value or just a range toy?

    I've read Joseph Wambaugh's book. It's very well done and one of the better examples of books of the genre in my opinion.

    Compact vs. Full a Size for CCW

    It would reduce the "drape". Also if you wear fitted rather than straight shirts. Someone with narrow shoulders that wears a fitted shirt with good shoulder fit will have a very tight lower torso fit.

    Need advice on a good IWB left hand holster.

    I'm not a lefty but use a Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.5 IWB that I would consider a Hybrid. Since the backer is synthetic I don't know if that is technically correct but it functions as such.

    Advice on daily carry handgun....

    I'm curious about this. To the best of.my knowledge concealed just means covered. Does your state have language that prohibits printing?

    Derringers - Any practical value or just a range toy?

    If all I had was a well made modern Derringer in .38 Special I would carry it. That said I would be more comfortable with something with a little more capacity like an LCP or LW 5-Shot Snubbie.

    Confused... Handguns too powerful for self-defense?

    I'm assuming you are talking about true masonry and not the brick veneer common in a suburban setting. A good friend's two rounds had no problem penetrating the target and the front wall of his brick veneer house. Rounds were Remington .44 Magnum 240 gr JHP.

    "Wyizzat 22 so expensive?"

    I have Rimfire Rifles of several levels. Have always wanted an Anschutz. "Good Quality" Remington 552 Marlin Model 39A CZ 452 "Good quality for a .22" Remington Model 33 Glenfield Model 60 Ruger 10/22 To me "Good Quality" without the .22 qualifier isn't all that cheap.

    Top Selling Handguns By State

    I'm sure they sent a survey to an Academy, Cabela's and Bass Pro but they are not large gun dealers in Alabama. The largest LGS near me sold literally thousands of guns on Black Friday. Cabela's had maybe 10 people at the counter. The LGS had twelve clerks and people were six deep at the...

    What Ive been carrying lately. Desantis E25 Belt Ruger LCP with 7-Rounds in OEM Pocket Holster (1) Ruger LCP 7-Round Extended Mag with Cap (Pocket) Note: The extra LCP mag is more for around the house where I may be without the belt gun. I never bother to remove it when I add a belt gun. S&W...

    Any reason there are no xds/shield’s in 10mm?

    Because the manufacturers market research doesn't lead them to believe it would be profitable. Simple as that.

    Right or Left holster

    Everyone has their choice. My primary IWB is an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.5. Most would call it a Hybrid as it's built like a Kydex Leather Combo but it uses a synthetic instead of leather so I don't know if that's technically correct.. It works great for me but others might hate it. Holster...

    Confused... Handguns too powerful for self-defense?

    I love such silliness. 7 Yards M&P .40 S&W - 5 Shots x 5 - Avg 1.10 seconds. M&P 9x19mm - 5 Shots x 5 - Avg 1.08 seconds. The 40 S&W averaged 2% slower and a slightly higher score. If 16 vs 14 rounds make a difference shoot the 9mm. If a .045" bullet diameter makes a difference shoot the...
