    Lube Or Snake Oil?

    Am always on the lookout for a verifiably high quality lube or oil for my 9mm semi. Have used a bunch, and they all seem to work well. Read in NRA’s current edition of “Shooting Illustrated” (p. 32) that Sentry Product’s Tuf Cloth and Tuf Glide are very effective in just about every weather...

    Geriatric newbie here, so apologies in advance for misplacing this post or being redundant. Really enjoy my Shield, but experiencing increased difficulty in ability to obtain a firm purchase at draw from IWB. My hands aren’t extra large, but the grip has begun to feel uncomfortably small. Have...
