    How Cold Weather Makes CCW Harder (Not Easier)

    Most people in the firearm community and on these forums who carry and have these discussions don't live in the hood and they have enough common sense to avoid going to places where the threat level is high. A lot of things are possible, like a part off of an airplane falling to earth and...

    How Cold Weather Makes CCW Harder (Not Easier)

    I don't live my life under FPCON Delta. I dress to be warm and comfortable when it's cold. If my hands are cold, I'll wear thick gloves and probably will have my hands in my pocket. I don't walk around or live my life as if I'm under constant attack and will have to be able to draw and get on...

    Carrying while fat (how do you do this comfortably?!)

    Pocket carry a small and light J-frame or one of the newer higher-capacity micro 380 ACPs or 9mm's. The other option is to carry OWB with a pancake leather holster and a cover garment (jacket, coat, or untucked shirt). If you insist on carrying IWB, don't carry appendix. Carry around 3 or so...

    Blackstrap LC9s

    The design of the holster may have contributed to ND's. Not paying attention and doing the fast, no look, trying to be tacicool reholstering thing contributes to ND's. The fact that the holster is made out of nylon instead of leather or kydex does not. Even a leather holster that's flimsy and...

    Blackstrap LC9s

    Nothing wrong with nylon holsters, @matthew8794. If the nylon holster you're using securely holds the gun and covers the trigger, it is doing what a holster is meant to do. If you're like the rest of us, you'll eventually will end up with a big moving box full of holsters anyway, but you're...

    165 Grain 40 S&W Is It Dead?

    And in option #1, the 3rd party collects the information, e.i., clicks and purchases, and pays AmmoSeek. The app collects the information not AmmoSeek. The next point is that it would be foolish for a company to sign up for commission based pay, where they STILL have to reach the $179 or $99...

    165 Grain 40 S&W Is It Dead?

    What does your experience have to do with the price of tea in China or how AmmoSeek does business? They explicitly state how they operate, but you seem to "know" otherwise. AmmoSeek makes their money from charging vendors to advertise their ammo on their website. AmmoSeek does not get a...

    165 Grain 40 S&W Is It Dead?

    Are you? I "know" what AmmoSeek's policies are and how they operate because they, on more than one page on their website, explicitly state how they operate. They state the TOS for vendors to be able to have their products posted on their (AmmoSeek's), search engine. What they themselves state is...

    165 Grain 40 S&W Is It Dead?

    Huh? We aren't talking in general. We're talking about AmmoSeek, and they do not get anything a piece of anything when someone purchases ammo. They only get paid and profit basically based venders paying a subscription fee. The amount of the fee vendors have to pay is contingent on the volume of...

    165 Grain 40 S&W Is It Dead?

    A click only shows interest and isn't a purchase. One person can click dozens to hundreds of, for example, .40 S&W listings. No matter how you look at it based on what we know, there's just no way AmmoSeek could have any reliable data outside of what links are being clicked. Heck, I've seen...

    165 Grain 40 S&W Is It Dead?

    No, vendors pay AmmoSeek a monthly fee to have their ammo listed. The amount that a vendor pays to AmmoSeek monthly is contingent on how many clicks that vendors receives. AmmoSeek knows nothing about what's purchased or not purchased. There are other options for vendors, buy I don't see any...

    165 Grain 40 S&W Is It Dead?

    AmmoSeek is a search engine. You search, click a link to a product you're interested in, and it directs you off-site to a vendor's website. There's absolutely no way Ammoseek could know who's actually buying what. All they know is what searches are done and what off-site links for particular...

    i want to build an echelon.

    Why isn't it a liability issue with almost all other firearm manufacturers, small and large? I'm not sure about it being a liability issue, but I am sure it's a terrible business decision. Part of the reason why the Beretta 92, CZ 75 variants, Glocks, 1911s, AR15s, SIG P365/P320, AR15s, S&W...

    Adding a revolver to the mix

    Different times, metallurgy, and designs. Today, there are loads that Rugers can handle that ammo manufacturers and reloading publications explicitly state are exclusively for certain Ruger revolvers. The design differences of S&W vs Ruger matters more to which is stronger and more durable...

    Adding a revolver to the mix

    Ruger revolver strength over S&W comes in the fact that they don't have side plates and the the yoke held in by a screw. In 357, it's a moot point and stupid debate, IMHO. The S&W L- and N-frames and the Ruger GP100s and RedHawks are stronger than they ever need to be to handle a study diet of...

    Adding a revolver to the mix

    Forged is generally stronger than cast. There's no getting around it. Cast can be just as strong as forged, but it won't have similar dimensions.

    Adding a revolver to the mix

    Seems Taurus must be making a concerted effort to send all their lemons just to your one gun shop. Bad news travels fast and far more so than good news. There are also a demographic of Taurus haters who would jump at the chance to repeat any up to date second hand bad news about Taurus and...

    Adding a revolver to the mix

    I only own 2 Taurus revolvers, and they've been more reliable and had better tolerance than my experiences with modern S&W. I've owned several Taurus handguns in the last decade that mostly have been sold off, but none have given me any issues.
