As a former volunteer EMT with 26 years experience, I can't to this day understand why someone with any intelligence would allow the muzzle of their own pistol to be pointed at their own privates and/or one of the five (5) major arteries in the human body, especially if they know and UNDERSTAND...

Hello...been awhile since I've been on the site...have a few updates and wanted to share and get a few experienced opinions! First, I've kinda gotten hooked on S&W J-Frame revolvers these past few years...I have two (2) 360J's - a .38 Special and a .357 magnum with an unfluted cylinder...as...

SATX...in all my years of staring at a computer screen, I've never actually looked at the luckygunner's website before...those numbers are interesting...and very helpful. The good news is that several of the ammo's I've selected over the years have some of the most consistent FBI standard...

I've been a .357 magnum fan for 25+ years (I've owned 7 Ruger GP100's and 3 SP101's) and had the chance to shoot a Kimber K6 .357 revolver about 3 weeks ago...I've shot a lot of .357 magnum revolvers over the years...and all I can say is, "WOOOOOOOOOOOW"! on the Kimber! Accuracy = It shot to...

Ultratec00...your answer is precisely why I asked the question because short-barreled pistols shoot + handle differently than mid-full sized pistols...and 1911's are different breed as well. I picked-up some Remington Golden Saber 185 grain JHP's (non +P's) figuring they would (most-likely)...

For many years it was a .357 magnum revolver...I cc'd a 2.25" Ruger SP101 in .357 magnum for nearly 10 years. Then I switched to 357SIG and carried a Glock 33 for about 7 years. Since 2012, it's been the .45 acp...which is still probably my favorite overall CC caliber...but lately I've been...

Very simply put...different people shoot different guns...differently! Physiological differences (hand size, hand/arm strength, posture), previous experience(s), comfort-level, etc....are all contributing factors to how well and individual shoots a particular gun well or not so well. Just keep...

I recently picked-up a Shield in .45 acp and was curious as to what ammo different people have tried and which handles best in the little pistol? I've had several .45 acp pistols over the years...Colt 1991A1 Officer's Model, Glock 21, Glock 30, Glock 36 (x3), Ruger P-97 DAO, etc...and each...

I picked-up a Shield .45 yesterday...to replace a Glock 36 as my EDC...can't wait to get it to the range! Interestingly...I taught at Walton back in the mid-'90's...lived just off of the 120 Loop on the east side of Marietta.

Well...I finally was able to pick-up a Shield in .45 acp...got it for $375 + tax...and got one out of the back room (as in 'never-handled') as opposed to one out of the glass case! I'm looking forward to getting to the range and putting some rounds down range to see how this little puppy...

Got a chance to pick-up a 'slightly' used (less than 50 rounds, claimed) Shield 9mm tomorrow...and will probably grab it? Guy is down to $200 (with box and everything) as he wants to purchased another pistol...and, from my research, that's a decent price. Any suggestions regarding ammo for the...

Thanks everyone...greatly appreciating the feedback and insight as to how well this little pistol functions and performs! Playing around with ammo...I'm finding that Remington's Golden Sabre 185 grain JHP's function just about 'perfect' in thr Glock 36 pistol...slightly lighter recoil...great...

Great answers...and thanks for all the feedback! I'm definitely looking forward to getting one and with the accuracy feedback, I'm certain that it will be one that I appreciate! Accuracy, to me, is one of the most-important considerations, behind reliability and comfort. A few hundred...

Shot a co-worker's Shield 9mm on Friday...and it was more accurate than I expected from such a short-barreled pistol. Being a .45 guy...I went to look / fondle / feel the Shield in .45 acp. It's definitely on my 'to be' list... After looking them over, I also fondled a full-sized, M&P .45...

.22 WMR is one of my favorite rounds to plink around with... For my birthday, the year we got married, my wife bought me a Savage 93 Stainless black-synthetic bolt-action rifle...and I've taken more than a few groundhogs with it at ranges up to 150m (darn lucky too). I also have a 6.5"...
