Ziggy2525 – You’re 100% correct!!! 1) The primary purpose for this gun is home protections, secondary purpose self-defense. With the doors being vault-like, I’m not too concerned with any of them being the prime entry point – it’s the windows. But, the point is – the uninvited intruder(s)...

Gary – I must agree with Martya. You’re to be commended for undertaking such a formidable task. I feel that there’s a movement afoot, I just wish it was swifter. As for Delaware’s law, I’m no attorney (I’m a retired doc), but I’ve read it (among other state’s . . .), and the requirements for...

“Safe REVOLVER Hand Grasp” Continental – Please take note of the title of this topic – your detailed description of the grasp you use on a 1911 semi-automatic isn’t really relevant to the topic at hand here.

If the local authorities can't/won't do anything, kick it up the ladder to the state police level. Letting this event slide sends bad messages to everyone - employees, citizens, everybody, - NOT GOOD!!!

Ziggy2525 – I’m currently looking into alternatives to the “red-ramped” front sight, and I have a few pre-conceived notions, but I’m trying to be open minded as I progress in this process. I love your analogy about the fingerprints – so true, my friend!!! And, I try to allow any negative remarks...

Snubbyfan – The reason(s) why that self-proclaimed “expert” would put forth the usage of the same grasp for revolvers AND auto-loaders eludes me, and based upon other things he’s offered, I don’t think I’m even going to figure out why. Another example of: “You just can’t fix stupid”. Thx. Kthom...

Old TexMex – I like that sign!!! Thx. Dvan34 – Nope, you’re not the only one with that problem. I have it, too. I’m the one who knows how to spell “signage”, but I STILL didn’t catch the misspelling I did. My signs are in English only, since that’s the official language of this country, I feel...

Breakaway500 – Great advice!!! Thx. Grinner – Interesting insight. Thx. RoyM52 – “Modified tea-cup” grasp, I like that term. As for the left thumb in proximity to the hammer – I never gave that any tho’t, but you’re right, and that opens other possibilities. Thx. Groo01 – Agreed. It...

UPDATE – I mentioned my own gun (revolver) grasp that I was heretofore using – called the “tea-cup” grasp shown to me by an ex-cop instructor (refer to comment #17 herein), where I grip the gun with my right hand, place it into my left one, grab my right one with my left one. While probably...

Ziggy2525, EXCELLENT suggestions – I like ‘em!!! That’s pretty much my plan of attack on this. I do quite abit of dry-firing with my gun, but I couldn’t locate any .45 snap-caps. My gun shop of choice found me a work-around – another customer generously gave them 15 .45 cases for them to give...

Nbedford – Agreed!!! It’d work in western Kansas (where my wife’s from) but not here on the Atlantic coast. Thx. Rastoff – Also, Agree!!! The no trespass signs satisfies the state police, and the insurance company, but will it keep the “uninvited” out??? Probably not – again, what’s good for...

oldIrish – Agreed!!! Thx . . . BAM-BAM – Don’t you just love that??? While I’ll admit to being older, and slower, and I’ve forgotten about half of my professional knowledge (due to not using it anymore ‘cause I don’t need it anymore), but I’m NOT senile. Your situation just reinforces what I...

You know, it’s a sad situation when people feel they can come onto anyone’s property without the property owner’s permission. But . . . it’s totally different if someone comes onto their property uninvited. Two phrases come to mind – 1) “do unto others before they do unto you”; and 2) “you just...

I didn’t know whether to put this topic in this forum, or in the Concealed Carry – Self-Defense forum. So, I made a SWAG (right or wrong), and placed it the Concealed Carry – Self-Defense forum. If I placed this topic in the wrong forum, I trust those in charge will overlook my transgression...

We’ve never put any bumper stickers on any of our cars. When obummer was running for his 2nd term, I saw a car with an obummer sticker on the back with the rear glass broken out. Apparently someone didn’t like the political bent of the car owner, and expressed such. Plus, we don’t think putting...
