Well after reading so many posts about the importance of wearing a good belt for CCW I broke down and orders a horsehide belt from The Beltman. With a military ID I received 20% off. I spoke to him on the phone and he seems like a pretty good guy. It's going to be about eight weeks until I get...

Has anyone else had an issue with a FTF with their XD’s. I have a .40 SC and on my last trip to the range I had it happen twice, same mag, on the second or third round in the mag. I was using Winchester White box which has a rather flat nose.

I'm going to have some extra cash in a few weeks and my handgun collection is almost complete with my "must haves". An M&P is next. I'm completely confident in the capabilities of both calibers, but can't decide withthe M&P which to get. I will add it to my carry rotation and it will be a...

They Never have anything actually in stock regardless of what their website says. I have several handguns that I like to carry. They all have Don Hume H715 IWB holsters that have worked well for me and are priced right. I recently started buying some of their OWB holsters to give me a more...

Defensive ammo is so expensive that many of my carry guns are loaded with Winchester JHP from Wally world. Is this sufficient or is it worth the extra money for the more expensive stuff? In my .45's I don't sweat it, but in my 9mm's I feel JHP is needed. I want it to do the job if ever needed.

I just bought my first tuckable holster. It's a Desantis. The clip that hooks under the belt is visible and I was wondering if anyone has ever asked you what that clip was? It looks like most if not all tuckables have this hook that goes under the lower edge of the belt.

The gym is just as likely to have some nut job go crazy as anywhere else. You never know who's looking for their ex-wife/girlfriend or who's a disgruntled employee. I just tried carrying at my gym a couple of times and I find it doesn't hinder my workout. So far I've used my Smartcarry holster...

I’m looking to buy an ankle holster for carry at work where my priority is not having the gun discovered. At work I dress business casual with tucked in shirts. I do have a tuckable holster for my Kahr K9 that does work well with a tucked in button down shirt, but not so well with a polo type...

Going home for mid-tour leave in 16 days. Me and a buddy from my squad are both planning on buying a semi-auto handgun. The options are great. I'm trying to limit my purchase to $850 or less. Caliber 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP. Not really looking for full sized. Considering a Sig, S&W M&P...

My gun club has closed their ranges due to frozen berms. They test them by poking them with a sharp weighted metal pole. Is this an accurate test? Unless they're poking the ground at about 1000 fps then how can this test be worthwhile? I just bought a handgun yesterday and I'm eager to shoot...

I think I found a gun I can carry all year long. Due to changing attire I usually carry a Kahr K9 9mm in the summer, but switch to a full sized 1911 in the winter, a Tauru PT1911. I believe in carrying the biggest caliber you can for slef defense. Yesterday I bought a Sig 229 .40S&W. It's...

I’ve read that a Glock 29 can be converted from 10mm to .40 S&W or .357 Sig. Has anyone here actually done it? Does it only require a barrel change or also a spring and mag change? The reason I ask is I rarely get to shoot my G29 due to the cost of 10mm ammo. I’d like to have the option of...

Has anyone had much luck hunting out of an Ameristep Outhouse Blind? It's the $50 blind often seen at Wal-Mart.

I'm off to Disney tomorrow and I haven't been there since 2002. Does anyone know if they've installed metal detectors? I'm going to bring my S&W model 60 and I'm hoping to have it on me every day.

I'm taking the kids to Dsiney in 2 weeks and I'm flying US Airways from Manchester, NH with a stop in NC on the way down, and a stop in PA on the way back. I'm taking my Kahr K9 with me and can't find any information on their web site. I was wondering if anyone had any experience flying this...

People may think I’m paranoid, because I carry a gun in a low crime rate area, but read these stories and where they took place. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but it seems this stuff is in the news more and more lately. Mall Gunman Who Killed Five Women in Clothing Store Gary Michael...

What kind of gun did the bald SAS guy have? It looked like some kind of tactical shotgun.

I know the 1911 seems to be the favorite around here as far as .45’s go, but why? It seems like they’re overpriced, often unreliable out of the box, and have a low mag capacity compared to other medium to full sized pistols. I have an SA 1911 GI. I like it as a range gun and as a reminder of my...

Anyone here watch the TV show Heroes? Last episode they had a couple of Irish guys robbing an armored car. Both armed robbers had double barreled shotguns. Yet every time they pointed their shotguns are a guard you could hear the sound of a pump action shotgun. I guess it made it sound more...

Is it impolite to use a stranger’s stand if you stumble across it? I know every deer season I have a few out and it wouldn’t bother me if someone was in it when I arrived, provided they understood it was time to go.
