I still need to get up to Juneau. If you're looking for something that's quick and handy, I'm really happy with my JM-stamped 1895GS in stainless. The 18in barrel is not at all cumbersome and models can be had in 16 inch. You can get good deals on them if you watch Gunbroker. They're pretty...

Thank you all so much for your help and suggestions, yall who have been helpful are why I always keep coming back to this community whenever I need advice. Drobs is a stand-up guy and sent me a stock cuff he wasn't using and it works magnificently. I contacted Specter and they put together two...

HAH. You’re not kidding. Guess my appreciation for good television is showing. Thanks to all for the suggestions, this has been an incredibly helpful thread. I’m currently working with AE Nelson, they’re going to make me the 709 with a slightly longer length to accommodate my 460 Rowland...

Agreed. My concern is protecting the handgun. To me there’s no advantage whatsoever to having the trigger guard open and, lacking any advantage, I would rather protect that area from dirt and debris. Thank you to all for your help. I found a leather maker called AE Nelson that still actually...

I spend a lot of time hiking with my 1911 but I carry a backpack or a lumbar pack with me as well and I find that it’s constantly grabbing on my handgun and also makes it difficult to draw. I’m not interested in having a drop-leg holster, I was issued one and didn’t like it. Chest holster is out...

Dangit Drobs, I should have waited a while and bought this instead of the other sling. That's exactly what I need for the front end right there. I wonder if there's a way just to get that front end part of the sling to mount to?

@drobs thanks for the response! Based partly on your recommendation this is the direction I've chosen to go and have ordered a similar sling (Ferro Concepts Slingster). Now I just need to figure out mounting it to the actual rifle. The problem is I have the traditional studs on the bottom of...

I live in a part of Alaska that has a bear population of 1 brown bear per square mile. Yesterday while I was looking for a sling for my new rifle someone’s dog got killed protecting a hiker on a trail my wife and I were planning to hike this week. It’s incredibly frequent here, multiple...

I recently picked up a lever action 45/70 for bear defense and am looking for a way to carry it across my chest while hiking that doesn’t swing or bump around so it is available and ready to use if I need it. I’m looking at the Gunslinger rifle sling and it seems like it would work but I would...

I recently moved into a new house and am trying to create some good habits and put some procedures in place for myself and my wife regarding gun cleaning, transporting and storage around our home. In the meantime I’m trying to strike the balance between safety, security and accessibility, with...

I'm looking for a good quality kydex holster for the Ruger SR22. I've emailed a couple of manufacturers and haven't had any luck. Intend to wear IWB appendix or 3 o'clock. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

As someone who once had to have a stubbornly embedded and incredibly painful foreign object extracted from his left cornea (non-firearm related), I concur. I look for excuses to put on a pair of safety glasses now. Eyes and ears, folks. They're worth it.

Absolutely. I've never considered myself to be a "prepper" (never been fond of labels to begin with) but I suppose some folks would label me as such. In my case it's merely a mindset that says history shows us what we can expect for the future, and history points to some pretty bleak...

I transitioned from the Springfield XD striker fired pistol to the 1911. The XD was my transitional period from not carrying at all to carrying daily. The prospect of carrying a firearm with all passive safeties freaked me out a little at first, but I grew accustomed to it. I never carried it...

I'm left eye dominant, right handed. I shoot ambidextrously with only a slight preference for right handed shooting, in which case I keep both eyes open and simply squint my left eye slightly until I can no longer visualize the sight picture through it. Using this method I'm able to rectify the...

From Pennsylvania;

Sam Cade, that is one awesome rifle. Who made your forend/flash suppressor? P.S. thread bump.

I've been seeing quite a lot of stories in the media lately about former and current boxers redeeming themselves in defensive situations. I don't have a lot of time or money to put into expensive and fancy hand-to-hand classes but at this point I figure that doesn't excuse me from conditioning...

Excellent reading. I ended up with a heavy bag and a couple sets of gloves recently. Actually my shoulders, wrists and knuckles are aching from a session as I write this. I'd only remotely considered the possible defensive benefits, I mostly wanted the bag for the indoors workout. This has got...

I loved my Marlin Mod 60 before I sold it. One thing you want to watch for is that when removing all of the ammunition from the tube, sometimes a round sticks somewhere below the bolt and can be subsequently loaded into the chamber even though you believe the tube is completely empty. Check...
