I'm not carrying my Remington R1 on a daily basis, but I'm so sick of the "how much stuff can I put on my gun?" mentality. My early R1 has a few Wilson & Brown parts to make it handle & run better. Sight are MePro tritiums. It's also got Hogue rubber grips. No fluff, no lights, no suppressor no...

It could be a tumor. ;-)

Yep! And the guys over there are really friendly and helpful. I bought 4 extended mag bottoms and the grip safety from them. A bit pricey, but they work as intended. Have purchased some shotgun stuff (mag tube follower, etc.) from them, too.

I replaced the grip safety on my Performance Center EZ with a metal one one from NDZ Performance (https://ndzperformance.com/search-results-page?q=s%26w%20grip). It works perfectly. Shot it again a few weeks ago and let a buddy try it. No issues. I'm 5'5' and my friend is 6'3".

IMHO, there are a lot more than 2 issues; those are basic starters. Then we get into revolver or semiauto. Then we talk hammer-fired or striker-fired. Then we discuss how difficult it to load the mags in the semiauto. And how many rounds is enough? I have a Springfield Hellcat that I think is...

While in the Reserves from 1973-1975, I was issued an M-14 semiauto with the plastic/fiberglass stock. I loved it. After hearing all the horror stories that came back from VN, I was happy to have that big pig rather than a Mattel failure. It shot really well. IMHO, it was unconscionable for the...

Hard to tell from the photo, but that looks like a shrouded barrel... more like S&W M76. I'm guessing you know the diff betweem .45 and 9mm! :-)

Yes, IWI has a lotta stuff that could be handy in a crowd situation. Still, it's not always easy to avoid crowd/riot situations, but they are typically localized. As the author stated, if you find yourself in an uncommon situation, it's easier to try to get out of trouble early than to deal...

I've thought about it, buying just the basic gun and carrying that. I have seen and heard a LOT of firearm sources who advocate carrying a smaller, cheaper firearm, one you can afford to lose in the follow-up to an encounter. Whenever the cops take someone's gun, it takes ages to get it back. A...

I failed to mention that I can also easily carry a spare Hellcat 12-round mag in my left pocket. No mag carrier needed. That gives me 22-23 rounds. Should I be concerned that I might need more? I hope not! LOL! So easy to carry, quality ammo, a spare mag, easy to conceal... that's why I love...

Practice makes perfect, right? I'm no slouch with a speedloader; I can use them efficiently. However, I'm not ready to challenge anyone to a competition. :-) Assuming -- in a stressful situation -- you can reload using one in fairly workmanlike manner, I think that indicates proficiency. It...

I've seen people who can do superior things with less-than-typical equipment. The rest of us just watch and are amazed. Me, I have other more important things to do. LOL! :-)

I have a bunch of speed loaders for my revolvers. They're handy, but not that speedy! :-) For the vast majority of handgunners, you simply can't beat a mag swap.

I bet that scandium .357 bites! :-)

I bought a couple X15s yeeeaaaars ago for my S&W Model 29 .44 & Model 19 .357. It was never what I needed or wanted, but they were functional. I no longer have either one... not sure where they ended up. Today, we don't have to carry large wheel guns, so our holster choices are many, as is our...

So you don't wanna conceal carry with a 30-rounder in your Glock? LMAO! Yeah, the "bullet holding part" can be too long, one of the reasons I'm really glad I bought the Hellcat shortly after it arrived on the market several years ago. The 12-round mag prints too much under a lightweight shirt...

VERY valid point! I guess everyone is more focused on mag volume. If you wanna conceal a "larger" caliber pistol, there have to be compromises. Your idea is doable. Someone needs to make this!

I'm 5'6" and 170 lbs. I can carry my Hellcat in a Crossbreed Reckoning IWB holster under a t-shirt using the smaller mag. The butt ends up just ahead of my right arm, totally concealed. I try to combine with a patterned shirt to camouflage it even more. With good Hornady Critical...

Good points, all valid. I suppose one could buy low-power loads in many calibers, but the person firing the weapon is a factor as well. A lightweight gun is easy to hold, but conversely recoils more. But my S&W 29-2 8 3/8-in weighs 3 1/2 lbs, which would be a great candidate for lower-power 44...

She's an Australian actress who played that character, Hellcat.
