    The Charter Bulldog 44 revisited just in time for cold weather

    I also carry Appendix. I purchased an Azula in the waist band and found it does hold the revolver low. I live in Vegas and can conceal a 19-2 2.5 in barrel with just a T-shirt. I also like the Buck 110 folder. Who have you taken the FoF from?

    19-2 2.5 inch nickel

    It is a consignment piece, I made an offer and am waiting for the store to call. The hammer, trigger, extractor, and rear sight are not nickel. I have been carrying a 4" 19 but with the summer comes lighter clothes. It is much harder to conceal that big revolver. Anyways that's what I am telling...

    19-2 2.5 inch nickel

    I am looking at a 19-2 2.5inch with a nickel finish. It's at a gun store here in town. I had the store employee remove the grips but I did not see an "N" stamped on the frame. There was an "R" and a "L" with another letter stamped low on the frame. Is this a factory refinish? I plan on...

    CC while on bicycle

    Here in Vegas when I ride my bicycle it is usually very hot. I just putt around the neighborhood. I carry a 3in k frame in my right pocket and a 2 in j frame in my left. I don't wear a shirt, I'm getting older and don't care as much. I also agree with the above poster---- don't go with...

    Tactical one hand drill malfunctions/TacRack

    I have used solid objects, table corners, holsters, doors, corners of walls, shoes, belts/buckles etc. I don't like having to find something if I need to do a tap rack with one hand. What I have done is to add a small piece of skateboard tap to the top of the slide between the ejection port an...

    Happy 60th on Pearl Harbor Day!

    Those are some very nice looking revolvers. Probably too pretty to shoot. The main reason I responded to this thread is to say my birthday is December 7, 1956. It's cool to see such a fine specimen with wonderful workmanship from my birth year. Thanks for posting.

    Got A Nice Buck Knife As A Present

    The 110 folder is a great knife. The company also has a forever warranty. In my experience the customer service has been fantastic.

    So whats the deal with "low recoil" or "reduced recoil" buckshot?

    I have two Mossberg 500 12g shotguns and have used them in several classes. Using the low recoil buck and slugs I never had a problem with control or recoil issues. In my opinion for classes, casual shooting or home defense the low recoil rounds are the way to go.

    Revolver Training

    I plan on attending a Threat-Centered Revolver class taught by Grant Cunningham in Phoenix early December. Has anyone here trained with Grant and wish to give a review? I heard about Grant through John Farnam and read what he has to say about self defense and using the revolver in that role...

    Friday night therapy

    If you were here in Vegas there would be strippers policing your brass and reloading your handgun, just saying. I'm sure you had a good time anyway.

    Interesting Study

    "Americans who ccw are far more likely to perpetrate mass shootings...." so does that mean those Americans had permits or were they just concealing the firearm? Almost all the mass shootings in the last 20 years have been committed by young men who have been taking prescribed drugs since their...

    New CHL holder here. Now what?

    All very good advise. I strongly believe in training, like others have said take a class. The only other thing I would add is a quote from John Farnam" Don't go to stupid places with stupid people and do stupid things". Tom Givens has a DVD entitled "Lessons from the Street", it will show you...

    Open Carry Vs Concealed Carry

    I believe in the grey man concept, carry concealed without attracting attention. If one open carries he should think long and hard on his ability to defend himself in an ambush.
