For concealed carry? As a civilian, I don’t expect that my day would be so bad that I’d have to engage a roving band of jihadists or gangbangers. I’m pretty content with my 6-shot Colt Agent. I don’t sweat a reload. Now range time? Reloading bench? Targets aren’t shooting back at me and...

Well, in a very general sense the factors impacting gasoline prices are global crude oil cost, refining costs, distribution and marketing costs and federal & state taxes, which are generally reflected in the wholesale costs that gasoline retailers pay to distributors. It’s a constantly...

This!

The advantage of large bore bullets like the 45 is diameter and weight. Those two numbers are constants and don’t diminish. You do not need a .45 to expand. A .45 caliber hole driving straight and deep is exceptionally effective. It has been since the days when the .45 Colt was issued to the...

Happy Ford owner for my adult life. They don’t refer to them as, “Fix Or Repair Daily” for no reason (grin)!

I believe mission and environment dictates one’s load out. I’m on the northern fringe of the Gulf of America. For me, my SP101 with 180s fills that role nicely. Were I anywhere else east of the Rockies I’d take my 3 screw 41M. West of the Rockies (and North) I’ll pack a snubby 44.

I would absolutely get a LW Commander in 38 Super.

Full review write up required. Colt QC was already on the upswing before CZ took over. I bet that’s going to be a real treat!

That list needs the 6.5 RPM, 6.5 PRC and 6.5 Grendel!

How could it be anything other than good for US gun owners? Beretta's willingness to invest in Ruger says good things about how they see Ruger’s real value. And Ruger has a niche market in the US, where, overall, I believe gun sales are in a slump. A publicly-traded company needs to report...

It makes the uninformed folks think the elected are doing some good. I mean, if they didn't do something, they wouldn't get their name out there, wouldn't you agree? I mean, seriously. There are ridiculous bills that every state legislature debates every session that make ZERO sense. I...

DISCLAIMER: I do not own and have never owned any 1911 chambered in either 38S or 9mm. The operative word, owned. I have shot a number of 9mm 1911s over the years (and only one 38 Super). IME, 9mm Officer-sized 1911s are typically more reliable than Commander-sized, and both are more...

The *original* 9mm 1911, and the only 9mm that needs to be in a 1911 (grin)

10mm is the popular flavor these days. Do you reload?

Exactly. And for these reasons I have zero problem running a SWC profile (or a FP type) over a JHP and sticking with 7 round magazines were I to run a 1911 for self-defense purposes. Try to eliminate at least 2 of the 3 most common malfunctions.

When I carried a 1911, one spare 7-round magazine.

Not close enough. Louisa county.

Check for age, maybe? Like getting carded for buying beer?
