    P90 or SR1911 ??

    I just know that my KP90 is about as strong and reliable as an Abrams tank.

    If You Could Only Have ONE Ruger P Series......

    I never knew they made a "P" rifle. Did it come in .45 ACP and where can I get one?

    If You Could Only Have ONE Ruger P Series......

    Have to be my KP90. It's a hell of a lot better gun than I am a shooter, but it still makes me look pretty good.

    My "new" P90

    My KP90 is the reason I don't have (and probably won't have) a 1911. The only reason I'd want a 1911 now is for history. They say you can throw a Glock in the mud, pick it up and keep shooting. I think I could throw my KP90 in the mud, run over it with a truck, use it as a hammer to build a...

    LC9 VS. Kel Tec P11

    I have a PF9 and a P3AT. I love Rugers, got my first in 1967, but I love my Kelties. Yeah, they're a bit cheap. But they are flawless. They are designed as easily concealable SD guns and they are perfect for that. Several hundred rounds through each of mine and NEVER a hiccup. I did a bit of...

    Gun-shy on the SR9C

    I'm a Quality Engineer. EVERY manufacturer in the world, of every product, has issues. If you want Rolls-Royce quality from early production, be prepared for some serious sticker shock. Even for evolutionary changes to proven products. The only way to eliminate the potential minor issues is...

    suberban ammo

    Bird shot is NOT, repeat, NOT a viable HD round. It's for BIRDS. It will leave a nasty looking skin wound and this is one time it will REALLY make the BG mad. I don't want to get shot with it, but I don't want to be shot with a Daisy BB gun and I'm not a BG anyway. Frangibles in your pistol...

    suberban ammo

    All the house here are concrete block construction. I'm not much worried about a round going through the walls.

    what grain ammo do you prefer

    The .45 ACP made its reputation on 230 gr ball ammo. It works. That bullet is moving at around 600 miles per hour and it weighs over 1/2 ounce. It makes a large hole and it takes a while to slow down so it goes deep. I use WWB 230 FMJ for range and WWB 230 JHP for carry ammo. I'm pretty much...

    Ruger 1911!

    I've got a KP90. I don't want a 1911. I want another KP90.

    Need a [2] gun case

    I love the Plano Guide Series 1404 cases. Guide Series are tan color. They also have the same thing in black as the Protector Series that i got at Gander Mountain for about $20 each. I got 4 of them. I use them for cameras, fishing reels and guns. http://www.planomolding.com/tackle/products.asp...

    Dry firing the LCP

    I would not do it. The LCP is copird from the P3AT which is a definite DO NOT DRY FIRE. Use snap caps. I can't find anything in the LCP manual with a quick look, but I would err on the side of safe. If you don't have it, here is the LCP manual: http://www.ruger.com/products/_manuals/lcp.pdf

    Couple'a Glock Questions...

    I have a G19. I like it. I use it for carry and HD. I put a TLR2 on it for HD and take it off for carry. Stays in perfect alignment. Great gun and I love how easy it is to field strip, clean and reassemble. I also have a KP90. Would I trade my Ruger for a Glock? Or anything? Maybe for a fully...

    Bought a new flashlight for home...

    Yeah, NiMH and NiCd rechargeables are nominal 1.2 volt. Throwaway Alkalines are NOMINAL 1.5 volt. BUT alkalines have a very quick drop and under heavy load like a good light will quickly drop to 1.2 volt and then slowly fade. And then you throw them away. And they have a high internal resistance...
