    FFL in Phoenix for online purchase transfer

    Most gun stores and pawn shops are FFL. Here is a site that will help you narrow your choices... http://fflgundealers.net/gun-shops-near-85029 I would pick a well-established business that is convenient to my home and offers a decent rate to make the transfer.

    Desperately Seeking Leather

    I'd be looking into Cochise Leather Works in Cochise, Arizona to see if they had anything handy for your Ruger Vaquero.

    Leather holster safe for a nice 1911?

    My all-metal handguns go in leather holsters. My EDC gets a weekly or bi-monthly wipe down with a silicone impregnated gun/reel cloth depending on the weather. I'm not a big fan of lined holsters. As mentioned above, drawing and reholstering is the main source of finish wear. You can find...

    Best Gun For Dog Attack

    My neighbor and fellow morning walker used a STUN CANE that he bought from Amazon to put an attacking dog down temporarily. Works slick, cheaper than a gun, legal to use, and won't kill the neighbor's dog. I hope you reported the incident to Animal Control and presented the medical bills to...

    What Holster for a 6.5" Blackhawk??

    A Bianchi Lawman would be a nice leather option at about $100. A Purdy Gear single action carved holster for the deep pocket fella needing a show-off holster would be worth consideration.

    I'm a nooby at gun auctions

    I've used GB to buy more than 20 handguns. First, you need to fix a value on the item you plan to bid on. My value is bid+shipping+FFL fee which I refer to as "in the safe" value that allows you to figure your max bid. Once I find an item I want to bid on, I click the "WATCH" button so I'll...

    Sweet "Mini Gun" you picked up! My 469 is a safe queen. Enjoy!

    When is the last time you fired your nightstand gun?

    April 19, 2018, was the last time I took my designated nightstand duty gun, a Smith & Wesson Governor, for some quality range time. Wow, over two years! IIRC, I've brought the Gov to the range on other days, but the shotgun area was too muddy for me. I keep the Gov in a Hornady RapidSafe and...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    I bought a Smith & Wesson Model 3913NL and hope to get a call from my FFL that I can pick it up soon. These old, all-metal Gen3 3900 series Smiths are great 9mm shooters and make a fine carry gun option. Thankfully, the other auction bidders quit before topping my modest bid. Oh, happy day!

    Iwb full combat grip?

    A combat draw stroke will vary from person to person due to physical limitations and equipment. Nevertheless, combat draw stroke needs to be practiced! Here is a good article on the subject... https://www.officer.com/home/article/10249793/the-combat-draw-stroke

    Selling all of your firearms

    I've been contemplating selling off the majority of my collection too. I won't be selling to a reseller or consigning my firearms. I see my options as listed on the gun forums I visit, using an online auction site, or renting a table at a local gun show. I'd be interested to read about others...

    Any 40s&w Fans?

    I plead GUILTY to being a .40 S&W fan. I own eleven pistols chambered in .40 caliber. I own one polymer pistol, a striker-fired Walther PPS40, which I carry in a Falco IWB/OWB convertible holster on the rare occasions I wear a suit or sports jacket. The other ten were bought used and are the...

    chance of using your ccw for defense?

    There are many variables involved in calculating a percentage risk for needed Defensive Gun Use that only you can assess for yourself. I'd say high on the DGU qualifier list are your personality, lifestyle, where you live and work, type of work, mode of transportation, social activities, times...

    Revolver or semiautomatic

    Put me in the semi camp. I always keep my eyes open for another all-metal S&W Gen3 in 9mm or .40 caliber that would fit well in my accumulation.

    Subcompact DASA or DAO recommendations/warnings?

    I'd rent one of the training center's 10+ round guns and buy something that really works for me. That said, if I had to be a buyer, I'd opt for a DAO S&W Gen3 model 6946 12+1 because I'm a revolver guy and the DA/SA is a PITA. The DAO half-cocked triggers once a round is chambered in Gen3 DAO...

    S&W 659 and 5906

    I own a 5906 and a 469. I favor the model 5906 because it fits my hand better and the Gen3 grip works better for me than the Gen2 grip on my 469. Either of your options would make good range guns if they fit your hand. IMO, both models seem to be well balanced and absorb recoil better than...

    S&W Governor?

    I've owned a Governor for years and keep it under my nightstand in a Hornady Rapidsafe. I haven't had any performance issues with my Governor and it is my go-to gun to defend against an intruder in the middle of the night. It is not a gimmick.
