As the title states, I want something nice, for OWB carry. Pistol is an M&P 9c. I have a solid gun belt already, so I know I need one . I do IWB carry with an Aliengear, but do occasionally dress for OWB, and also tend to open carry when I teach the KY CCDW Permit class. I'm looking for...

So, being somewhat depressed with ongoing issues I'm having with my new Rock Island Armory compact, I decided it was time to address another need, a new pocket pistol. Always used to like my Kel-Tec P3AT, but used to have issues with surface rust on the blued slide. So, knowing that Ruger had...

I got offered a Combat Masterpiece in trade for a 1911 I have listed on Armslist, and am trying to figure out a value. Has some finish wear - I'd call it 85% condition, and has Pachmayr grips. That's all the information I have before I decide if I want to meet the guy - thoughts on potential...

OK, so I hit the range today with the new SD9VE. I LOVED the way the gun felt in my hand at the store, and spent some time last night dry-firing to smooth thr trigger out. The trigger is definitely heavier than my M&Ps, but is smooth. I'd say the published weight of 8 pounds is fairly...

Range Report - New M&P Shield OK, was able to get to the range this evening with the new shield. Had 150 rounds on hand, 100 target, 50 JHP. It ate them all without a hitch. The first couple times, getting the 7th round into the short mag was an adventure - took a good amount of effort. By...

OK, took the new M&P 9 to the range today. Ran through 150 rounds of mixed JHP, WWB FMJ, and Federal FMJ. Not a hiccup among the lot. Recoil is extremely light, it's a super comfy pistol to fire. Accuracy was excellent, though I didn't do any bench testing - it's a defensive pistol, I am...

So, drove the hour down to Lexington today to see if the Bud's anniversary sale was worth checking out, and couldn't help myself...it was so cute, and wanted to come home with me..... They had a S&W rep on hand, and were giving 10 rounds of ammo and a trial of the Smiths for $3, so I...

I am considering applying for my FFL. I'd like to start by facilitating transfers, and work up to a small inventory sold on gunsamerica and similar sites. As such, I am looking at a home-based business. Zoning and local laws look good, so I'm not worried about getting it. My questions for...

Just picked one of these up, now that suggested retail has dropped. Paid $375 - I could have gotten a bit cheaper if I wanted to wait, but I'm impatient :D. Today eas the first range trip. I am SUPER impressed with this little gun. I've owned the Kel-Tec and Taurus .380s, and have fired...

Local gun shop had a 6906 sitting in the case...I had noticed it when I was in there on Saturday helping my mother buy her Bodyguard .38. As a gleeful member of the 3rd Gen Smith Cult, it was calling my name. I tried to resist... Went back at lunchtime today. Still there. I looked at...

I am just back from the range after taking the Taurus TCP for a spin. I am very favorably impressed. I did 100 rounds today, which is all my hand can handle on a mini .380. This is a softer shooting gun than my Kel-Tec, but not by much, and my trigger finger feels it by the end of the session -...

OK, so I'm about to buy my first AR. It'll be a fun range gun, but also an SHTF gun and part of my home defense regimen. What I'm trying to figure out is what accessories I *need* as opposed to what's tacticool crap bolted on. Obviously, only I cen really decide, but opinions are welcome...

OK, so the "Don't Talk to the Police" thread got me thinking, and I didn't want to derail it with this. It was brought up that some people do, in fact, have a lawyer's numbers in their cell phone, ready to go. Now, I'm assuming in this case we're talking an actual defense attorney, not their...

I have a rather beat-up Hi Power that I picked up a couple years back for a song...and am wondering a bit about it's origins. It was made in Argentina. Most of the Argentinian Hi Powers I've heard of have been referred to as "FM"s. Mine is marked F.N. Browning, Armscorp, Silver Spring MD...

I'm quite interested in learning to make my own holsters. I used to do some leatherworking as a teen, but haven't in 20 years or so. Is there a good reference book/site that would fill me in on the necessary tools, and how to do the molding? Any other resources out there? I've looked at the...

I'd like to get a trigger job done on my Springfield Mil Spec, and would prefer to stay local if at all possible. Anyone know of any good gunsmiths in the Cincy/Northern KY area for some light customizing?

Recently moved to KY - interested in selling my SW1911. ANyone know the ins and outs of selling handguns here? Thanks!

To preface, I've always been one who thought the high-end holstermakers were WAY overpriced, and have studiously avoided them. I always thought the lower-priced makers did a fine job (and many of them do!) and I'd just be paying for a name with one of the big-name companies. I refused to pay...

Called Lightning Arms on Monday to check on a Versa Max for my SW1911. They had one in Cordovan, so I promptly ordered it (after one glitch when my cell phone cut out - dang cellular service). Got the notice yesterday that there was a package for me at the post office (no one was home to...

Ordered an IWB and mag pouch for a 5" 1911 from Rafter S 4 weeks ago, on May 1. I was told 2 weeks for delivery, which is one of the reasons I chose them. 2 weeks went by, no holster arrived. After 3 weeks, I called to inquire about the holster's status. I was informed that it was completed...
