First of all, I've no affiliations with MIE, other than having purchased 6 pocket holsters from them. I've tried 5 brands of pocket holsters, the MIE has a great aggressive hook, adjustable tension, and very smooth. They'll do it with or without the thumb break, I have both for Glock 26 and...

I purchased the VP9 SK B (Button vs Paddle magazine release) pistol, and noticed some Kydex IWB holsters aren't cut for the button release. For example, The Pole.Craft Kydex IWB holster (my go-to cheap holster while I look for perfection elsewhere) has a broad cut for the paddle magazine...

Many 1911 fans are partial to 70 series, curious what ownership looks like

I saw a Devil Dog Arms 1911 Commander at my LGS. Hadn't heard of them, did some research, somewhat mixed reviews. Appear to be a lot of 3rd party parts, cast frames. Any experience on their 1911s?

Today was the first time I've ever had to contact BCM customer service, was not impressed. I tried to call 5 times today (well within their normal hours, first call more than 30 minutes after their scheduled open time). Each time I immediately received a canned message "Sorry we're not able to...

Heading to Colorado Springs, Colorado next month to visit an old friend. He's starting to show an interest in firearms (mostly handguns), where should I take him?

The difference in cost between firearms, even two that may look very similar to the untrained eye, can be quite significant. The question then becomes "Is your most expensive firearm your favorite (warm and fuzzy)?"

The front insert on one of my Smith & Wesson handguns was missing, repaired with white automotive paint and a #2 pencil to drip it in! Let the slide sit muzzle down for a few hours in a vice, very happy with the result!

I picked up a Beretta 92 Compact, shot it for the first time yesterday. I've not purchased a Beretta in many years, was actually very happy with this gun. Trigger feels like the 92FS I had years ago, takedown was easy and had no issues with the 150 rounds I fired. The store I bought it from...

I purchased a Savage 10 TR 308 (20" barrel) which Savage lists as a law enforcement only firearm. My LGS had received a few; not sure under what circumstances they were able to get them. For all intensive purposes it seems like the Savage 10 Precision Carbine with an all black stock. Any love...

Compare your first concealed carry handgun to your current concealed carry handgun (was your original a smaller or larger caliber than your current, heavier or lighter than your current, etc).

Mounted a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x42 on a Browning A-Bolt today using the medium height 1 piece Talley rings ( http://www.talleymanufacturing.com/cgi-bin/public_controller.cgi?view=products&category_recnum=6 ). While I'm quite impressed with the rings so far mounting was a bit of a pain. The way...

We all have a firearm type we get most excited about, what's yours?

How many magazines do you own for your primary concealed carry gun?

Took me a long time to finally purchase a Gen 4 Glock. This has run perfectly just like every other Glock I have or have ever had (too long a list to count). I do like the new stippling and recoil spring; recoil is a bit milder than my Glock 23 Gen 3. Ran a few boxes of Federal 165 FMJ and...

Every now and then after a bad day we need some comic relief. How about a picture heave thread of just that? My 10/22 wants to be all grown up...

Picked up a new 10/22 Takedown #11100. After stripping it down, cleaning and lubing with Slip 2000 EWL I took it to the range and fired a box each of the following (in the following order): Federal Champion 40 Grain Solid #510 CCI Blazer #00021 CCI Quick Shock 32 Grain #QS22HV Remington Viper...

While I've heard of El Paso Saddlery before their holsters have never been part of my collection, at least until now. While in the market for a Leather IWB holster for a Sig P220 I decided to skip on the Galco Summer Comfort and order the El Paso Summer Cruiser (...

For those carrying IWB what holster are you using and why? What do you like and not like about your holster?

Found and purchased a new Shield 40 today, serial number starting "HA." After a field strip, clean and lube with Shooter's Choice FP10 I went out to the range and setup a silhouette target at 5 yards. With both Remington UMC 165 grain FMJ and Speer Gold Dot 155 grain factory loads it's a very...
