    Story - Had to reach for my piece on a guy - first time

    I agree, but I DO carry. I also carry a bright flashlight. - - - Keep in mind that my definition of bright, starts at 650 lumen. I had two incidents where there were two individuals (in each incident, and in CO) that thought I was a likely target. In both incidents, once they found out I had...

    Changes to SP 101 hammer. Anybody know why?

    Do you like the way it shoots . . . or not? :sleep:

    First Deer Ever via Redhawk .41 magnum

    :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: NOT laughing at you, but rather laughing because my first wife's mother did exactly the same thing. The first time we (first wife and I) had some game meat for dinner, she was VERY hesitant to even try it. I had cleaned it (got it from her uncle)...

    Holster so comfortable you forget you're carrying?

    I'm sorry . . . . I don't see what most of that has to do with the holster. :rolleyes:

    LCP Max shooting low

    From your previous statement (in this thread) the problem is not with the gun. it is the person holding it and anticipating the recoil, thus pushing down. Have you son learn to S L O W L Y press the trigger. So slow that each shot catches him by surprise. My bet is that the problem will have...

    Scope or Red Dot for Ruger PC 9 Carbine?

    I thought a PC9 was either a 9mm or .40S&W.

    Made a holster for my Birdshead Wrangler

    Interesting comparison (cal vs penetration)

    I was quite interested in the 22Plinkster video about Federal's Punch in 22 WMR. The round is designed to deliver 1000fps from a TWO inch barrel. - - - Self defense use? - - - Humm. You will note that the round does even better as the barrel length is increased and goes to beyond fifteen inches...

    Pinty Red Laser Bore aiming kit

    Two thoughts: 1) The SR22P I had (lost in the boating accident) leaded up HORRIBLY when I started shooting it. - - - Took three or four sessions to get the bore clean. NO problem after that. 2) Were you shooting from a sand bag rest to determine the accuracy? Many times just the increased...

    Selena! Most of us do not live close enough to Chicago to need it. ;)

    Thinking about getting an automatic knife-need suggestions

    I'll go back to some one else's post reminding that not all states allow spring assist. I like the Cricket (CRKT - M16-03, or similar) because it does NOT have spring assist. It is legal in all states. It is easy to open one handed, and if you want to work it half to death can be made to open...

    Officer or Commander in 9mm

    I have run MANY thousand rounds through 3.5", 4", 4.25" and 5" barrels. Anyone that tries to tell you that this length or that length WILL have problems (or is more prone to problems) is simply trying to perpetuate the MYTH of a particular length barrel being inferior. Fifty years ago that...

    O-rings for MK II grip screws

    Wow. Another solution for a non existent problem. Unless, of course you lubed the current set of screws.
