    Accidental discharge 1911.....Help...Killed the stuffed bear on the bed.

    I carried Cocked and Locked for over 10 years. first with a CZ75 Pre-B then a Colt Series 70 1911 in stock trim. Never Once did I have an issue. I had the same concern as you in the beginning, but after a month it was very natural. I now carry a G22, but some days I really miss my old 1911.

    Pistol recoil tolerance

    Should I sell my first gun, a gen. 3 G21?

    I would keep it in a lockbox somewhere in the house. The G21 should make a very good home defence gun. Personally I wish I still had my first handgun.

    OWB Concealed Carry Holster Suggestions

    After about 15 years of carry my El Paso bikini holster is still my favourite OWB Holter. I cut off the thumb clip off long time ago. I am sure there are many local holster makers that make the same kind of holster. Something like this...

    M&P Pro 40 - Failure to Feed Issue

    I use truncated code bullets and the OAL I use is 28,8 mm to the "fllaptop" of the bullet. That translates to about 1,1339". It is in a Glock 22 though, but it should not make much difference. I load for about 950 fps with 180gr bullets.

    Concealed Carry Overkill?

    Nr 1 to 10 of CC is to have a gun that you can shoot well on you 99.999% of the time. The rest is details. I have not done rereach but I be surpirsed to see that a civilian self defence shoot has more than 4 shots fired.

    Glock 22 and Para 16-40 or just COLT GOLD CUP

    At the moment I have only one handgun, a Glock 22. It is my CCW and I shoot in Standard class in IPSC. It works every time and I do not have to baby it. And the Glock 22 is light to carry all day. I find it easy to shoot. But you will have to decide what you want from the handgun.

    Glock and Change (a different kind of article)

    Aah nothing happening on the forum. Time to go wash the dishes.... I used to subscribe to the MAC youtube channel. But then I starting seeing trend. If it is not made in the USA it is not good enough. So I stopped taking anything he said seriously.
