In defensive mode, the weaver stance seems to be very popular. Why? Seems that standing sideways with your pistol aimed straight out your side, similar to a marksman, would give your aggressor far less of your body to shoot at. The weaver, however, gives the bad guy a complete frontal shot...

I have begun using Remington Rem Oil & Bore Brite Solvent. They seem to work well for me, but I'm new to this. Any opinions on these? [This message has been edited by David (edited November 11, 1999).]

While shopping for my first holster, I read a recommendation that if you buy an expensive gun, don't buy a cheap holster. The problem is after spending $700 on a gun (HK USP 9C), I don't have any more money! Seriously, I will buy what is best. But, having received such great advice from you...

Through this excellent site and bullseyepistol.com I have begun to study techniques for good marksmanship. Question: how does one make the transition with these techniques to personal defense, which is my main interest. Will learning good marksmanship techniques prove valuable in personal...

I just purchased my HK 9mm compact after great research in newstand mags. Great gun!Bought it for pleasure & self defense.Then I stumble across you guys. I read all the facts from Firearms Tactical Institute. Being new to the sport I immediately got frustrated at the contridictions: 1-...

Kinda long, but important. Here are two incidences that happened in the past month that I'd like your comment on. I was wondering if I over-reacted. (me?! never) The first one was at a gun show in Dallas. I was with my 3 year old son, and as we walked up to the concession stand, I saw/heard...

Is it available yet???

This is a clarification for any earlier posts I have done on the .45 SUPER. The barrel on my model 21 is a Jarvis, not a Bar-Sto. I have so many projects going on at once, I forgot the Bar-Sto is on my wife's Glock. Sorry for any inconvenience

I just wanted to pass along some product info. As I get older, I get a little less enthusiastic about shooting hot shotgun loads with a pistol grip on a pump shotgun. There is a company called Speedfeed that makes a very rounded and contoured pistol grip. It is downright comfortable in my...

Here's a new one. I had a student ask me a question that I have never been asked before, and I didn't really have a good, pre-rehearsed answer. If any other instructors or LEO's out there been asked this question and have a good answer, or personal experience, let me know. The question was...

What do you think is Mr. Ruger's real stance on gun control and etc. I know he's in American Rifleman a lot, with the prerequisite pro NRA prose and folksy pictures, but, does he seem to want to "work with" the other side more than an owner of a firearms manufacturing business should. IMHO...

I have been shooting .45 Super lately, and through an acquaintance, have occasional access to x-ray equiipment. I use it to check to see if any cracks or etc. are developing in the guns. Yesterday, at a HI-LO auto parts store, I came across a kit by Magnaflux, that allows you to check if small...

I've got a "flame" for you. I have these shells, but haven't shot them yet. The pictures look pretty imposing. Has anybody actually shot them yet, and what was it like. I would like to know before I set one off. Silly Hollywood scenario #231: Your car has broken down in an alley, and a large...

Something to ponder. I was speaking with friends in Europe and Asia during the holidays, and I brought up the fact of how many firearms training schools we have to choose from, and who is running them. They were familiar with some of the names (Harry Humphries!) and couldn't hardly believe how...

Let's get a fun discussion on this one. First, to set the tone, I am compelled to quote Freud once again, because it says so much about the g-g-g-gun f-f-f-fear c-c-crowd. "The fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual or emotional maturity" In the case of some gun ban folks, perhaps both...

O.K. Who's the real expert out there on FORM 1 issues. I see this new device that replaces the back cover plate on the slide of a Glock. It converts the pistol to select fire. 1. Can you legally convert any pistol (ala H&K semi to select fire) via FORM 1? 2. Do you have to use a pre...

True confession time folks. I used to be VERY anti-gun, believing that only the military and police should have weapons. Sad to say, I even gave time and money to the likes of Ms. Brady. If you want to know, truly, what they have in store, ask me. I was there. As a group, they have no...

I've shot them but never talk to anyone that has long term experience with them. The fit and finish look superb. I'm getting ready to drop a wad of dough and would like some feedback.

I'm new to CLASS III. I keep getting conflicting reports. What is the legal procedure for a civilian to purchase these port ban goodies. Can a dealer sample be purchased by a civvie?
