Down to 87 in Missouri, has been in mid 90's for a couple of weeks, and I have to swim to the mailbox because of the humidity.

The X series Glocks make no sense to me. The butt is the hard part to hide, not the BBL. So I cut my Glock 19 grip frame down to 26 dimensions back in the day when you had to buy a custom slide from Suarez to get a RMR mount. Works great for me. Stock 19 on the right. In the winter when it is...

My wife shoots weekly in a Sporting Clays League. She is Hell on wheels with a shotgun, but never warmed up to hand guns. So she carries the handgun she shoots the best...round butt skinny barrel .38 four inch S&W Model 10. Loaded with 158 grain Buffalo Bore lead semi wadcutter hollow points +P...

Remember that Safety Slugs he was talking up were during the dark ages of ammo. They were probably more relevant then as opposed to now. Having said that, I have Glaser Safety Slugs in my .25 acp Colt Vest Pocket model. Every little bit helps when you are talking .25 acp.

A good friend of mine works for Norma. Hard to get handguns in Sweden. So after jumping thru all the hoops to get a handgun, his choice? Ruger Redhawk in .357 Magnum. This was before the Super Redhawk. But his choice of a strong handgun that will likely go the distance for his lifetime...a Redhawk.

Commie gun, Commie ammo. SKS runs it ok, but I would not run steel cased ammo thru my Sig 556R for love nor money. It was almost free in the late 80's. I had a suit and tie job back then and a Cop buddy with an FFL. Dealer price for ten or more was 75 bucks, Chinese SKS straight off of Tienimen...

As for me, I carry a .45 because a fella runs out of time before he runs out of bullets. If I can't solve the problem with 8 shots, another 8 probably won't tip the balance.

I am not sure how to respond. Mas has a long history of writing and has access to police reports on Department shootings. I trust his perspective.

Now before you dismiss this as the blade equivalent to the hillbilly comic oversize cigar this Cold Steel actually fits in a pocket...true, it is heavy, but if one is expecting a blade encounter....

Time with Cops is always time well spent. I gladly pick up the check...more laughs per dollar spent than anything else!

Old man turns 86 this year...took him fishing!

Nope. That is why my tax money pays Cops. No kids, so my wife and I fort up if the alarm goes off at two in the morning. I have a house key that will open all the doors on a glow stick that I throw out the window for the Cops. That way they can enter without alerting the bad guys. If they come...

Good sights, good trigger (usually). The target grips are all wrong, flaring downward as the fingers get shorter they get wider. But with a good set of grips, this is the sidearm most people shoot best!

Agree about the tragedy of evidence firearms. But I am willing to take that risk. I know in my heart I will never need a defensive sidearm. I am older and wiser...I do not insert myself into situations that require a sidearm to resolve. But if I am forced into that scenario, I want the firearm...

Well, that will insure a consistent lock up for sure. I like it, if only because it is a new innovation on an proven platform. Having said that, I am content to be stuck in the past. Bob Chow customized Combat Commander. What more could a boy want?

The four inch 19 usually ends up as the winner in the ongoing campfire debate "If you could only have one handgun". Used as intended, a .38 Special with the ability to shoot .357 Magnum loads occasionally, it would be my choice. A round butt helps for concealment. I never could warm up to the...

You kidding me? When I was 17 I was driving a $275 MG that I brought back from the dead. If you put all the push starts back to back I would have ended up in Pittsburg!

Capacity sells. But frankly history proves it is about time not capacity. In a gunfight, time is the key. A fatal shot delivered promptly is the key, not how many rounds in the mag. I spent decades worshipping at the alter of capacity, but as the timeclock proved I was better and faster with a...

Well, frankly no. Why. Because guys on this forum need to understand how different life is in other places, and how they need to make sure their homes don't become those places. Because they will if we don't vote. Just saying

No forward cocking serrations. Dang it, that is my weakness!!!
