    Accidental mag releases with the KelTec PF9

    Just had to add that the early PF9's did have a plastic mag catch. More likely problem, as someone said, is the left front pocket carry which lets stuff bump against the button. It doesn't take much. I had to train myself to keep my thumb completely away from it when racking the slide or I...

    Ears Ringing from the range!

    The squishy plugs work very well for me, when I get them put all the way in. I've found that if I work my jaw while inserting them I actually have to be careful not to let them go in too far.

    Anyone know about a "National Preserve"? Would that come under National Forest regs, or National Park?

    Gun in car while traveling in Alabama

    There is no law prohibiting open carry in Alabama. Your permit says "This permit does not permit you to carry openly" because no permit is required to carry openly in public. Unfortunately, many LEO's in Alabama are not well informed on firearm laws. A weapon is however considered concealed if...

    What Handgun for Very Large Hands?

    Ruger P-series. Lots of people don't like them because the grip is too fat.

    How would you defend this in a home invation situation?

    I still haven't figured out how to do quotes on here. What I had (we no longer have sliders) was an actual device that I bought long ago. It was 2 pieces of approximately 1/2" aluminum tubing. It had a bracket where it could be mounted to the wall and pivoted up (we never did actually mount it...

    How would you defend this in a home invation situation?

    You need to lay a proper length aluminum rod in the track of the sliders. Some folks use a piece of wood, but I prefer aluminum as it blends with the track and will add some confusion as someone tries to spring the door. Cut it so that there is less than 1/8" play. This will make it almost...

    My wife is gonna kill me. Kel-Tec .32

    Just got one for my wife as well. Look and feel is much better than what I was led to expect. We're planning to get it out on the range next week.

    Unsafe gun handling or?

    Reminds me of a classic quote from "Men In black": Overweight Cop:"If you were half the man I am..." Will Smith: "What you talking about? I am half the man you are."

    What does your wife carry?

    S&W 642 was "too heavy" for her purse.:rolleyes: She refuses to wear a belt so she currently pocket carries a Keltec P32.

    Ruger P89

    I read about this happening to someone on another forum somewhere. I believe it turned out that he had tried adjusting his rear sight, hadn't got it tightened correctly and it allowed the slide to sort of diassemble itself as you describe. He sent the pieces back to Ruger and after a while they...

    Anyone carry DA/SA auto with safety off?

    I carry a Ruger P89 with a safety, but I carry it with the safety off and use it primarily as a decocker.

    Recommend Assault Rifle for not-rich buddy

    Just for general plinking at the range and to freak out the anti's how about Keltec SU16. Rod operated like an AK so it isn't quite as sensitive to cleaning, but still takes AR magazines. Factory sights are cheap looking and hard to adjust, but I can hit the 100 yard gong with it. Plus its <$500...

    Ruger?

    I went ahead and got the Davidson's special P89 specifically because it looked like they were getting rid of the line and I don't care for the SR.

    Truth time! What do you carry?

    Just heard on the news: Greensboro NC couple attacked by gang of 20.....

    Situations can change fast and not of your own doing. My wife, daughter and I were riding with my dad to pick up my brother from the airport. Dad makes a wrong turn, gets lost and starts roaming around the 'hood looking for the freeway or something familiar. He's totally condition green, I'm...

    CCW and Hugs?

    I was mother's day shopping with my daughter and while waiting for the sales person to ring us up, my 6 year old daughter suddenly felt the need to give me an intense hugs (which from her are more like tackles). Her being not quite waist tall on me, I've developed an instinct of watching for the...

    Summer CCW options.

    Wear your shirt un-tucked. Its amazing what you can hide. Otherwise, I vote for the snubnose. My 642 conceals just fine in my front pocket, even with the larger Pachmayr Decelerator grips.

    approached in a parking lot...

    Sounds to me like although JAHWarrior made a couple mistakes, which happen to all of us from time to time, nobody got shot and nobodies in jail so I call it good enough. I've had things like this happen several times (Birmingham is currently the 3rd most dangerous city in the US). I guess AL...
