    Red Dot Prefereces

    Vortex and Primary Arms are both very popular choices in the sub $200 price range. Palmetto's deal on Vortex with 10 pmags can't be beat although Primary Arms had cockeyed drilled Micros at substantially discounted prices a couple weeks ago. Bushnell TRS-25 is a popular choice in the sub $100...

    Trust

    Several years ago I went into ACE Hardware and grabbed an armful of stuff. Had a lot on mind and just walked out past the cashiers, got in my truck and drove off. About half way home it dawned on me what I'd done, turned around and drove back. Upon entering the store I asked with a sheepish...

    LCP II

    Nice. :cool: Been carrying an LCP for a few years. Small, light, reliable and no miniature controls to fumble with. Ruger hit a home run.

    Justifying Concealed Carry Reciprocity

    Annual government mandated culling operations... Another chilling illustration why to keep the Feds away from anything to do with national carry schemes.

    What some clueful instructors carry as their defensive firearm

    Trying to digest all this isn't easy for ChattanoogPhil. Not a LEO... not a soldier... I need training from someone with been there done that gunfight experience in the streets. Who should I get training from, MS-13?

    My experience with bulk Remington golden bullets with my 15 22

    A bit of history including Golden Bullet. When the 15-22 was first released it was plagued with out-of-battery discharges. The 15-22 manual was soon updated with recommended and not recommended ammo. Golden Bullet was on the DOES NOT RECOMMEND list. Sometime years later S&W updated the manual...

    2 Stage vs Single Stage triggers

    Right. For the benefit of anyone who might not be familiar... The safety only blocks trigger movement. It does not block the hammer from striking the firing pin. That's why Mistwolf's earlier comments regarding aftermarket triggers with near zero creep are worthy of consideration. Creep is...

    Red Dot for regular carry?

    Another issue for consideration is that not all situations occur indoors under climate controlled environments. I've read some guys say that they have used an RMR in rain and not had any issues other than looking through moderate smear. Others say they have experienced something similar to the...

    Red Dot for regular carry?

    I'm not a fan of a red dot on a carry gun, particularly my LCP, :rolleyes::D. That said, some of the pros and cons here I don't see as a big deal one way or the other. No time to turn on or adjust brightness, adds weight, unreliable. The Trijicon RMR I recently purchased doesn't even have an...
