In discussions with fellow shooters, over many years, the question of the advantage, or not of changing your new unmodified pistol, with modification, re the advantage, disadvantage in its view in a court case, after a fatal self-defence shooting. My modifications with IDPA Mods was to gain an...

My wife and I entered the USA, intending to stay for 6 months, a vacation. From Canada. In 2004. Living with my Son. This fell through, we actually went through the full immigration process, 3 years for me, 5 for my wife. We are now USA citizens. Once I obtained a Green card, I purchased a Glock...

After another wet and cold day in Liverpool England, I told myself, enough is enough! Applied to emigrate to Australia. House sold, the new car sold. Paid my subsided fee of 40 Pounds. 1965, Susan was 5 years of age, Michael at 2, a baby. The last day in the UK was spent at the Mother in Laws...

In this time of Covid-19, mask wearing shopping, we seem to have forgotten the age old statement, ones home is ones castle. My house is the end home of a block of 5 town houses. Seperated from my next door by a solid concrete block wall, that extends to the roof. You can enter, and exit via a...

More and more, semi-Auto pistols are being manufactured with finger grooves on the slide, as an add on. On the front of the slide! It basically puts you in the not enviable position, of being able to remove the tip of an off-hand finger, quickly, from that finger! I had a friend from South...

But how many have pointed, but not shot, a handgun at another human? Sitting in front of my Lap Top, I was amazed pondering that question. At 84 YOA, what memory. For the purpose of this exercise, uncovering, just showing a holstered pistol, is to be classed the same. 1962 Lancashire UK...

Back in the day, I contracted to Styer in Austria, to sell black Mil-Spec Bullpups to Tactical Police teams. In Canada, the full auto rules were different. If the rifle in question, had never been fired in full auto, it was not full auto. The rifles I received, were stamped, AUG. The none...

Capacity has been a focus of mine. Since I became a board member of IALEFI. The International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors. In 1984 for 20 years till 2004. When I joined, 800 members, now? The firearm of choice mostly was the trusty S&W 6 shot double-action revolver. In...

James Comey, head of the FBI, has to be fired and replaced, at once. Can President Trump do that, on his own? The people who leaked the un-masked names of US Citizens, to the news media, need to go to jail for 10 years. Susan Rice first. Watched a second in command, of the FBI speak on air...

My 30 year old AUG was a Safe Queen, why test fire it, they always work? Well..... Went out to a private Range, with my Son, he was firing his new AR type rifle, a Sig, it shot everything he fed it. All mil spec. My AUG? fired one in 5! Very light primer hits, called Steyr in Alabama. "We have...

Just now? Or for twenty years. Does not really matter, retired is retired. Not getting up every morning, 5 days a week, and trudging off to that predicable 40 hours. You have read the Gun Magazines, break in's, home invasions, so you keep a pistol on your bed side table, there is just you and...

Has any one got a H&K TT45, pistol? Second question, did it come in a fitted cardboard box, with a plastic shape to hold it.

My Son established himself in Florida, way b/4 I came down to live here from Toronto. When I was here on a Holiday/Visit, my Son said, lets go to the movies, him and I did just that, The West Oaks Mall, on Hy-way 50. Years B/4 I had obtained a CCW. So I was carrying a Glock 17, WOW for a...

Coming off the I4, vehicle next to me had a tag, DVC-45, stopped along side him, all traffic stopped at the lights. Beep Beep, "Kind of obvious plate?" To the young guy. Big smile, "Only if you know" he said. Too true, DVC would mean nothing to most shooter's, let alone BGs? You think?

An other thread that I post/read all in, had a major fall out with point shooting Instructors, I posted this in reply to their displease, what say you? If some one goes to a class, put on by a Point Shooting advocate, pays their coin, takes the class, and is happy? Who are we to argue with...

I must start by stating, I really do not have a dog in this race! But it seems to be heating up in the media here. One thing it would do, free up our cash! Holster pistol, head for Publix, stop for a coffee, chat to people, no worries on "Printing" "Finger prints" "FBI Check" and etc. etc...

Discussion on the Warrior Mind Set. What I am referring too, is training a person, or group, to respond to a threat, but a group who are from a part of the City/World, that violence, fighting, is not in their lives. I spent 5 years as a bouncer (we would say Doorman! Posh) 1960 till 64, The...

Back in the early 1990s, I owned Kydex strong side holsters, made by the Son of the Gent who made Madd Dog knives. One piece, straight up and down, real close to the body, held in by the thumb sized dent, that fitted in the trigger guard. Fast as lightning, and very concealable. Alas he...

In my opinion.... Just me. What can be required in the pistol, and your holster, and skill, that has happened already, somewhere. That is a huge window right there! People have ran out of ammunition already! Five rounds only, no extra rounds on person, that has to have happened some where...
