    Ruger's new ammunition

    People give this a bad name without trying it. It is brass cased and has a hybrid polymer/copper bullet. The idea is to get a super light, high velocity bullet that does more damage than ball, without the under penetration of hollow points in smaller calibers and short barrels. With that in...

    Taurus the curve .380

    My experience is the complete opposite of yours. If you want to use general internet chatter to prove Taurus is poor, then you have to accept the same for Kahr. Google "how to break in a Kahr" and you will find that most won't run out of the box without all kinds of special break in techniques...

    Taurus the curve .380

    I'm not trying to say that all Kahr products are poor, I don't have a large enough sample size. My point is that the gun community seems to have a real axe to grind against Taurus because of mixed quality control issues, but many recommend Kahr despite an equally poor record. Personally, I think...

    Taurus the curve .380

    I understand that Taurus has a bit of a poor reputation, but they are important to the market. They are one of the only companies willing to push new designs and create products that are truly unique, and they do so at affordable prices. While I am not interested in the curve, I find it ironic...

    Is 380 Just A Marginal Round?

    Is 380 Just A Marginal Round?

    Actually, many people's wardrobe is dictated by where they work and the job they perform. As most people spend 40 hours a week at their jobs, I would hardly consider that a trivial amount of time.

    Is 380 Just A Marginal Round?

    Blanket generalizations are rarely true and this one is particularly poor. You make a huge assumption that everyone can control their own wardrobe and can then conceal anything. In reality, many people have their wardrobe dictated to them by work and weather, making anything larger than a...

    Is 380 Just A Marginal Round?

    While I agree that you should carry the largest caliber possible, that doesn't mean everyone can carry a .45. There are legitimate times and scenarios where a .380 may very well be the largest caliber and size that can be carried. The notion of compact 9mm as being small enough to replace the...

    Is 380 Just A Marginal Round?

    And yet many in this very thread argue that 9mm and above is the suitability limit for defensive ammunition. So despite the ineffectiveness of the 9mm in the real world, most here will champion it because it goes a certain depth in a block of jello. Let's not forget that the FBI standards are...

    Looking for a back up gun

    If you are carrying a revolver as a primary, carry one as a backup. J-frames are probably the most respected BUG out there.

    Got a Leek

    The leek is an excellent blade and that black finish on the Walmart model holds up very well. It is one of my favorites and was my EDC for a long time. My only problem was that it rides high and the clip would allow it to work its way out of my pocket. After it fell out of my pocket twice and I...

    Best carry knife for 100$ - 150$

    Man, I wish I could find the edc manix or the orange handle somewhere. I love my lightweight, but I would love one of those with the better steel also.

    It begins.

    45 is a good draw weight and is the same draw as my Sage. It is suitable for hunting and it doesn't stack like a 50 or 55 pound pull. It is great on that bow. Try some Gold Tip Traditional 3555 arrows and you will be surprised how much fun you will have.

    It begins.

    That looks like a Samick Sage. Great bow. What is the draw weight?

    A thread for the New Yorkers here.

    No one is going to roll back the new legislation in New York. New York has been a liberal stronghold forever and this will only fortify that. Gun owners still voted for liberal politicians in New York despite their stance on guns. The loudest statement people have there is to move out and...

    Spyderco Paramilitary 2 or Kershaw Blur S30v

    Looking for a versatile new EDC and am intrigued by these two. I am a fan of Kershaw and own a Tanto blur w/serrations, but I want a good plain edge and would like to try the S30v. I like the blade shape, price and feel of the Blur. Assisted open is cool, but it has the potential to make...

    Post-election buying panic mega thread of power

    It seems many are not quite up to speed with how the second term liberates a president from his former constraints. He has no political future past 4 years and will have the opportunity now to address his wish list and not just what is "pressing". This president has shown himself to be a total...

    I never knew I had so many anti friends until today...

    I am not sure if the theater is actually posted or not. If it is, and a legal permit holder did not bring his/her firearm to the movie because it was posted and wound up shot, it could make for a very interesting lawsuit. The argument will be that the permit holder didn't HAVE to go to the...
