I used to use the crossbreeds @ 4 o'clock (comp-tac, king tuk) for all day concealed comfort. AWIB seems to be the preferred mode for most, but uncomfortable for me. I have Big hard belly. Been carrying 40 years, & wrecked my spine, so now I use the adhesive belt clip on my shield 40 between...

I had the 340 w titanium cyl w a 15lb trigger pull. Made a trade with a neighbor to acquire it. I got the trigger down to 7lbs by polishing & spring change (no big investment, there). Went out with that little 11 oz beast & 5 rnds of good .357Mag. Came home, soaked my hand in cold water and...

I find 1 shield 40 is enough for me as it is one of my many CC sidearm favorites. My wife asks, "How many gun safes are enough?"

Good info there. The Burris Fastfire III has to be the best reflex sight on the market, dollarwise, IMO. I love mine as much as my over-priced models.

I believe it will take the ILL AG a long time to get comfortable with CC in ILL by residents, much less people with CCLs from the free-states. Then, the carry laws will vary between cities & counties to discourage CCLs from carrying. The State will need to pass a pre-emption law to prohibit any...

Howdy fellow 'Retired' Deputy. I began as a Deputy in the Detroit area, but went to the State for the $/benefits. I was once issued a G-21, it worked, but discovered the M&P 45 and thought I went to heaven (it still lives in my MV w several mags).

Howdy all. I joined here before, but forgot all my info. At my age (retired from 2 depts in MI), I don't mind being called a "New Guy". I've owned many S&Ws in my days, some mega-high round counts (LE competition = free ammo). Still own a few S&Ws & many others. Hope my half century of...

The model 66 messed me up years ago. I shot in the top 2% of the state in the Police Combat Leagues w my issued 586 4 in. I liked the looks & feel of the 66 so much, I traded my 586 in on it. Many years as the 'Shooter' in my dept... gone. I was a youngster & didn't know better... nothing wrong...
