With cool weather coming, I plan on carrying my revolvers more. One is a Ruger LCR in 9mm. I would like to carry an extra moon clip, but not in a pocket since the factory moon clips are rather fragile. Anybody have a suggestion for a moon clip pouch or holder for concealed carry? At this point...

With recent pushes to regulate guns more tightly in some southern states, I thought an article over at Reason might be of interest. Since NZ has prohibited semi-auto firearms, only 700 have been turned into authorities. The article says there are 1.5 million firearms in the country, but an...

I had some time today, so I put together a list of 1911 pistols with shortened grip frames and barrels of 4.25 inches or less. This does not include double-stack pistols or polymer framed pistols. It includes the EMP which is a “true” 1911-style pistol but it does not list those without...

I thought this to be of interest, not all of it good news. The U.S. Department of Justice released a report earlier this year titled Source and Use of Firearms Involved in Crimes: Survey of Prison Inmates, 2016.. There are several interesting results but probably the most interesting is the...

As most revolver aficionados know by now, Colt has resurrected its once dead King Cobra .357 magnum, but in a new, trimmer body. Colt has also announced it will be introducing a two-inch, double-action-only model. But that is not the only classic revolver that has been revived. Smith and Wesson...

There's an article over at Reason about local non-compliance with restrictive state gun laws. It focuses on New Mexico as the latest example and mentions 24 localities have passed Second Amendment sanctuary ordinances to support local sheriffs who are declining to enforce laws requiring...

Kentucky has constitutional open carry and "shall issue" concealed carry. The Kentucky Senate passed a bill 29-8 on February 14th to allow concealed carry without a license, while also keeping the licensing system in place. This allows those with licences to carry concealed in those states with...

The Volokh Conspiracy has a post today about a newly-passed ordinance that requires disclosure by contractors of ties with and support of the NRA. A draft of the ordinance is at http://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2018/18-0896_ord_draft_01-18-2019.pdf. Professor Volokh points out that, on the...

Mossberg released information on their new MC1sc (subcompact) a few days ago and I am wondering about your thoughts on another pistol in this market. The gun is virtually the same size as a Gock 43. In an obvious attempt to stand out from a crowded market, the gun comes with both a 6 round and...

I'm looking for a leather holster for a 3 inch barreled SW Model 19 Carry Comp, a Performance Center model. I ordered a DeSantis for a 3-inch K-Frame with the underlug is longer/fuller in the Carry Comp than a typical M19. I do have a Don Hume JIT slide holster for K-frames and the gun fits...

Yep, some people just can't take responsibility. The TSA found a rifle in a guy's carry-on baggage at the Baltimore/DC airport. The story just refers to it as a "collapsible rifle." Looks like a Kel-Tec Sub-2000 to me. The 22-year old blamed it on his mother. He said she packed his bag. If true...

I have an assortment of SW and Colt revolvers. All of them are steel or alloy and all my Smiths, but two, are pre-lock. But now I have sinned. Yep, I bought a polymer-based revolver, a Ruger LCR. And, to double-down on my heresy, I got it in a 9mm. :eek: Why would I do such a thing? Well, I'm...

What do you all think about the BATF releasing specific serial numbers of guns reported to be stolen? This would allow a central database where anybody could determine if a gun were stolen before buying it. Obviously, this would not deter criminals from knowingly purchasing stolen firearms, but...

It's the end of the year and every media outlet has some version of their top stories for the year. I'm interested in seeing what you think are the top firearms-related stories of 2017 were. The focus is on firearms and does not include news about mass shooting or politics involving firearms...

I just bought an old Remington-Rand safe from a business that has closed. It's 72 inches tall with shelves and drawers. When the business put it on the loading dock, they weighed it at 1,900 pounds. I knew it would be heavy but not that heavy. I got a really good deal on the safe but nobody...

My collection has grown to the extent that, with accessories and ammo, storage is becoming an issue (again). I have a few recent vintage handguns with hard cases; e.g. a couple of Dan Wesson 1911s. The hard cases take up a disproportionate amount of space. Should I keep or toss these, knowing...

I'm interested in opinions about the new SW Model 66 and the Ruger SP101, each with a 2.75 inch barrel. For example how would the triggers compare with a decent action job? I've never owned a double action Ruger revolver but I own a number of S&Ws. Please don't tell me to just wait until a 3...

Suggestions on a holster for the Shield? Requirements are IWB, leather with a sweat shield, and a price that's not half that of the gun. I hadn't planned on buying a Shield but the $75 rebate just made it too attractive to pass up. I picked one up today. While ordering some other things from...

The March 2017 edition of the Bench and Bar, published by the Kentucky Bar Association is titled "Guns and the 2nd Amendment" and includes four articles on firearms law. It is available in either online magazine form or pdf file at https://www.kybar.org/page/BBarchives. I think these may be...

Eugene Volokh has posted about a U.S. District Court decision issued Monday where the court, on Second Amendment grounds, lifted the disability under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(4) ( adjudicated mentally defective) to possess firearms...
