    S&W SD40 shooting really low and to the left...

    I went shooting with a friend of mine yesterday and he brought his SD40. It's an earlier model that has some of the M&P parts on it such as the sights (at least the rear I know) and a few other things. It also came with a light and a metal locking case for it. Anyways at about 25 feet or so, it...

    Good first revolver for a decent price...

    Hello guys. My Dad just got his pistol permit and is looking to purchase his first handgun. He's owned long guns in the past, but never a pistol. He's disabled and has had multiple back surgeries, knee replacements ect. I was thinking a revolver would be good for him so he wouldn't have to worry...

    Local grocery store got held up at gun point..

    About a week or so ago a local grocery store that's just 2 blocks from my house got robbed at gunpoint. I frequent that store quite a bit and have my whole life. I live in NY and have my NY and PA permits. If I would've been there when it happened, I wouldn't have been able to legally do...

    Got to meet Brian Zins from Top Shot yesterday...

    Yesterday I was down in Butler, PA for the annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival and Cabot guns had a booth set up and Brian Zins was there. It was pretty cool meeting someone like him, he was a really nice guy. My niece got a signed picture of him which I thought was nice. Man those Cabot 1911's...

    Anyone have any experience with Theholsterstore.com?

    Back in January when I got my first pistol I was looking at holsters online and found a couple that I liked at theholsterstore.com. Now I've got 2 pistols and I have a cheap IWB holster for each one that I picked up at a local gun store. They're not made specifically for my guns or anything, I...

    situation question, inspired by a dream...

    Alright guys I've got a kind of unique question. The other night I had a dream that someone I know and am not afraid of, walked up to me and stabbed me in the chest a couple times. In the dream I drew my pistol and got a couple of shots off, but missed them as they were running and were already...

    finally shot my Ruger SR9C the other day..

    So after owning my sr9c for close to a month, I FINALLY got a chance to shoot it a little bit. I just put a total of 90 rounds through it and it ran perfect, absolutely flawless. Not one single failure of any type. I shot some 115gr Blazer, and 115gr American Eagle along with 5 147gr Hornady...

    Does Ruger make a pre-ban mag that will fit SR9C//

    I'm very excited, tomorrow I am going to pick up a new Ruger SR9C. Since I live in NY state, I can't have a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds, unless it's a pre-ban one. I know the SR9C isn't very old, but I was just wondering if it's possible that Ruger made a pre-ban magazine for a...

    Just put a deposit on a Ruger SR9C!

    I'm pretty excited. My taxes should be in my account the 30th of this month, so I decided to splurge a little bit and buy myself a new gun. I was at the gun shop for probably an hour or so with the gun deciding whether or not I should do it and I REALLY like the gun and the feel and size of it...

    howcome I never hear anything about .45 GAP?

    I see and read tons of posts on here, but since I joined in Jan I haven't seen ONE post or ever a mention about the .45 GAP. Is it simply not a popular cartridge or not as desirable? What are the main differences between the GAP and ACP? My friend has a .45 GAP, I've never seen it up close or...

    what was your FIRST handgun?

    Since this forum seems to have quite a broad age group I thought it'd be interesting to hear what everyone's first pistol was and if they still have it today, so share everyone! Mine is a Bodyguard 380 that I just got back in Jan and as of right now it's still my only handgun, but I've already...

    Just curious, does anyone carry .32 for sd?

    I've seen so many different opinions on here about what calibers are acceptable for self defense and most seem to believe that the smallest caliber they'd go with is 380, and some say no smaller than 9mm. I have a friend, or actually more like an acquaintance that carrys a Keltec .32. Also how...

    Very pleased with S&W customer service...

    I have a BG 380 and ever since I bought it I have thought the buttons to turn on the laser were too stiff and it isn't that easy to turn on the laser. I bought it Jan 9th and haven't really thought much of it til today when I was at the local gun store where I bought it and checked out another...

    I apologize ahead of time for the long winded post, but PLEASE do me a favor and take your time to read it for me!!! Alright guys here's the deal. I've got my eyes set on either the SW9VE or the SW40VE for my next gun purchase. They are both the same price at my local gun shop. I am aware of the...

    any experience with theholsterstore.com?

    I've been checking out this site for a holster for my BG 380. I can get an IWB one with a slide guard and 15 forward cant which is what FBI uses for about $50. Also was looking at one for the Sigma .40 cal that will most likely be my next purchase. Any one you ever dealt with these products, not...

    friend gives me crap for carrying all the time...

    I live in a small city with a population of around 14,000. For such a small city it still has its share of crime and we are only 70 miles south of Buffalo and get a lot of thugs that come down here from there. My friend, who also has a pistol permit and owns a glock 19 and a 22, has never...

    Yesterday I went shooting and only shot off 50 rounds and just within the past week I have field stripped the gun and thoroughly cleaned and oiled it so I didn't think it was necessary to field strip it after yesterday so I just cleaned the barrel up good with the brush then some cleaner on like...

    S&W holsters?

    Anyone have any experience with them? I'm looking for a nice holster made specifically for my BG 380 and the one they have for it looks nice, the black iwb right hand side. It's about 75 bucks but I think a good one would be worth the money. It's fine for pocket carrying but I had to redo my...
