Aww, come on. Let's do Ford or Chevy...

I had a Mod1 .45, regrettably traded away, that I'd gladly buy all over again at that price...

For some reason I have never heard of anyone who, when having a gun pointed at them, asked, "Hey, what caliber gun is that?"

In factory ammo -- very rare. In handloaded ammo -- depends on who loaded it.

It is as dangerous to your gun as WD40... Never forget, half of what "they" and "somebody" says is flat-out wrong; the rest is highly suspect.

As always, read and understand any contract before signing. Several of these outfits specify in the fine print that they will not represent you if you are charged in a shooting case. My question -- why do you need such services if you are NOT charged?

Perfectly fine to shoot .38's in a .357 revolver. But hold on, someone will inevitably come along to say it is disastrous...

Anti-constitutionalist would be more appropriate.

I agree with Blume. Contrary to the preachers of doom and destruction -- who said EXACTLY the same junk when concealed carry permits were approved -- the world will not end but continue to turn, just perhaps a bit more peaceably.

If this is true for you, your pants are 'way too tight. Unless the pants I am wearing are 2" larger than I need in the waist I wear my "IWB" holsters inside the belt/outside the pants. if your belt is a good one, stability is fine.

Only a black powder gun "needs" to be cleaned after every use -- and by that I mean, if you don't clean it NOW it will be a hunk of rust tomorrow. Cleaning a gun every time you use it is a good habit, but frankly most guns can do with nothing more than a wipe-down between shooting sessions for...

"Detonation" caused by small charges of fast powder has never been proven, or even duplicated under lab conditions. It is my firm belief that such gun-destroying events actually result from inadvertent double charges of powder. BUT, follow the manuals carefully and neither small charges of...

My take on this question is simply that a hit with a .22 is better than a miss with anything bigger. Certainly no one would suggest that .22 LR is the ideal cartridge for self defense, but it seems to me absolutely essential that you must be 100% comfortable with your self-defense gun in order...

My favorite whitetail handgun for many years is my Bisley .45 with a Tasco ProPoint dot scope mounted in a Wiegand base. Makes the heaviest loads pleasant to shoot, with accuracy much farther than I care to shoot. .44 Mag? Who needs it? ;-)

I've never owned an LCP, but I do own three other .380's -- Beretta Pico, Sig P365, and Bersa -- and all have been 100% reliable EXCEPT with Hornady Personal Defense. That stuff is pure poison in all three, will not run a full mag without at least one jam. How they claim 1000 fps is beyond me...
