>The critics urged my friend to reload with the gun up in his face, so he could “watch the bad guys.” Maybe that works for them with their autopistols, but it’s not a good idea with a revolver.< Trying to create tactics for gunfights is always a problem if generalities are part of the training...

It is even better, and cheaper, if you don't have a TV.

The headlines seek to promise a lot more than the article delivered. I looked forward to it and now that I've read it, it was a waste of time. :sleep:

Ouch. I once came home from a business trip to discover my BMW Z-8 had "disappeared" from the garage. Circumstances were similar. :cool:

:love: Great article!

I thought you were suppose to strop them sharp - not throw the razor away. I've been using the same razor I was given at age 13 and sharpen it as needed. It also has other uses :cool: TSA wants them in checked luggage however.

On pavement daily carry: This does not include car fob, ID and credit card case, nor money clip, or watch which could be a Submariner or a Seiko PADI solar. Knife could change given the schedule of the day. One of these might substitute:

Unless they were actually breaking it down, I might not even hear it. If they can force the door, the dive claxton would wake me while they are trying to deal with the intense fog being generated.

Weight: even the smaller Officer styles (which I have extensive experience with) are heavier than my aging body likes but I do carry several pistols so the weight problem is cumulative. I was an early adapter of the XDs and mine was part of a media kit that I bought off the original T&E...

First, my sympathies. Years ago I carried a Colt Commander LW on the job and undercover. It wasn't impossible in cooler weather but it became difficult in warm or hot weather. Have you tried the heavy duty T shirts with the reinforced holster under the armpit while wearing a Nate Nast type of...

I believe rules vary from state to state and LEOSA rules are even more different and often vague and court rulings for definition. For example, my wife has an Illinois license. She can carry only handguns using that license and a switchblade using her FOID card. Vehicle rules are the same for...

I quit smoking two years ago when altitudes began to bother me after smoking since 1955 and mostly 3 1/2 packs of unfiltered Pall Malls a day. I would never normally run out and would leave rations behind to have enough room for smokes. Once however, I did cut and dry grape vines to smoke when I...

Amazing what a smoke could accomplish in the way of information. :sneaky:

It sounds, to me at least, that you may have been too enthusiastic with your lube. FYI there is lube available for extreme cold but in my experience running a gun as dry as it will stand in really cold weather solves a lot of problems.

Here is my normal carry which does not include woods or wilderness excursions. I did forget to include my pen, my notebook, and my phone. It did not occur to me to include my phone or credential case. Money is just in a money clip. Watch is either a Submariner or a Seiko PADI solar diver. Sorry...
