I'm looking to get a X-15 for my M&P 2.0 4" Compact. The usual vendor websites don't list this particular model, but they list models similar in size (Glock 19, Walther P99, etc.) Would this size X-15 holster work? Or should I get one for a full-size M&P 4.5"? Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

Just a weird question from watching a Garand Thumb video..... With the extra length of a threaded barrel protruding from the slide (with barrel nut or flash hider attached), would the pistol be less likely to be pushed out of battery for a contact shot than a pistol with a standard barrel...

Hypothetically speaking....if one had to rely on 9mm FMJ for defensive use, what bullet weight would be preferable: 115gr, 124gr, or 147gr (all loaded to factory standard pressures)? Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

I inherited a PT-145 that was made before Taurus' QC took a nosedive. It has no indication of frame cracks or other issues. I want to use it as an occasional CCW, and I want to find an IWB holster. Since finding a leather or kydex version (hybrids need not apply) is difficult, are there any...

When swimming in pools or lakes, I often carry a Spiderco Delica in case of getting entangled in something more than as a SD tool. A folding knife is also easier to conceal in nonpermissive environments. I've recently gotten a new pair of swim trunks that would allow me to carry my OC gel...

Does anyone make a dust cover for Glock magazines similar to the ones used on AR or AK magazines? If so, where can I purchase them? Thanks in advance..... Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

Why do you choose a rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO / .223 for a home-defense long gun? What advantages does it have over a shotgun or a pistol-caliber carbine? Thanks in advance..... Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

With the popularity of RMRs for pistols and revolvers, I thought about other sight systems. In the late '90's to early 2000's, I remember several companies offered a high-visibility front sight (brass or fiber optic) paired with a rear ghost-ring sight. As with most fads, it was the bee's knees...

I have a SP-101 with a 3-1\16" barrel. I have a good OWB holster for it, but I'd like a better IWB holster than what I currently use. Here's what I'd like in a IWB holster: Kydex only. No hybrids. Belt clip or snap loops. No J-hooks. Adjustable tension screws (not a deal killer if it has good...

Not long ago, I got a good deal on some Armscor 9mm 124gr JHP ammo. The bullets look like a cross between the Hornady XTP and the Remington Golden Saber rounds. My initial thought was to use them to test JHP feeding in new guns. Does anyone have experience with these rounds? Do they work as...

I've been looking at the Kimber K6. Reviews have stated that it's trigger is exceptionally smooth and light when compared to other DA revolvers. Looking at it, I wonder if it uses a hammer at all. Is the K6 a striker-fired design? Also, have there ever been any striker-fired revolvers made...

I believe I am...... After reading a thread here with a similar title, I began thinking about my own carry preferences. My primary carry choice has been a Ruger LC9. It's light, small, and carries well in a variety of holsters. Over the summer, I have experimented with carrying a S&W SD9VE...

I'm planning to stock up on 9mm FMJ for possible shortages. I'd like to get at least 1000 rounds put away. I'm looking primarily for practice ammo; but, if necessary, I would use it for SD. What FMJ loads would you recommend? 115gr? 124gr NATO? 147gr?

I've read a lot about the S&W Sigma-type SV/SD pistols. One criticism that keeps coming up is that the pistols aren't robust enough to handle a lot of shooting compared to the Glock & M&P pistols. However, I've never heard from a SV/SD owner that they wore their gun out. Has anyone here shot...

I've been looking at subcompact pistols (SR9C, FNS9C, M&P9C) lately. As CCW choices go, it's hard to fault them for anything....especially when they can take the mags of their full-size brothers. And, with ammo improvements, performance from a 3.5" barrel (or less) is comparable to 4"+ barrel...

When it comes to carry pistol characteristics, things like caliber and capacity get talked about to death. One thing that rarely gets discussed is barrel length. Subcompact pistols offer the same capacities as their service-sized counterparts, but they offer more concealment options.....so they...

I'm thinking about getting a used .40S&W (deals are pretty good right now) and a 9mm conversion barrel for cheap practice. I know that the 9mm might not be completely reliable, but it'll give me opportunity to practice failure drills in practice. I prefer the .40S&W for serious work in a...

I'm sitting here with my Mossberg 500 .410, and I'm just really impressed at how svelte and ergonomic this gun is. I really like shouldering and shooting this gun. The only thing that could make it better would be if it could also shoot a better slug round than the .410 offering....something...

I have a Charter Arms .38SPL snub whose bluing has seen better days. It needs refinishing, but I don't want the old-style rebluing job. I like what CA does with its new guns. I'd like do either red & black (school colors) or flat dark earth (less likely to be noticed when concealed). Does...

Does anyone here pocket-carry one of the micro-compact 1911-style pistols? If so, what rig do you use for it? With people talking about how they carry the Glock 26, Ruger SR9c, and other similar-sized pistols in their pocket, I just wondered if the same applied to the 1911's.
