    Why all the 40 caliber bashing?

    I don't make a point of bashing the .40, but I've sold all of mine and don't plan on going back to it. I'm just not sure what exactly it can do that a modern 9mm can't. So I'm back to 9mm because it is more affordable to practice with, and in model to model comparisons it holds more rounds.

    Carrying where "No Guns" signs are posted.

    Hope you have metal detector checkpoints set up at all your doors. If not... try putting up a sign that details what you've said here. See how well your business does from there.

    Carrying where "No Guns" signs are posted.

    Same laws apply where I live. Carry everywhere. If I see a "no firearms allowed" sign, I do a two point evaluation. Does this establishment have armed security personnel? A metal detector checkpoint at all entrances? If the answer is no, then I ignore the sign, as any rational person should.

    The shield and +p ammo

    IMO, the New York shooting incident shows that the average LEO operating in an anti-gun municipality will be less able with their weapons, due to less off the clock training or interest in their firearms. That was a terrible showing of police capability. If the suspect is actively shooting...

    New Sheild all modded out

    I'd like to see pics of the Tru Glo after installation. Are they larger than the factory sights? All the pictures I've seen so far indicate they are.

    How many handguns do you take to the range each time?

    I like to take 2 and shoot them against each other, comparing targets. It makes me try harder to improve if I'm running a competition with myself. Just the other day my Shield 9mm destroyed my Government Model Mustang. In a closer competition last month, my Glock 32 took down my Browning Hi...

    The shield and +p ammo

    Yep, a few years ago Corbon had its day on top of the charts and public opinion. I think the concern now is Corbon isn't using bonded bullets (they do offer an all-copper alternative though), so now everyone is on the Speer/Ranger/Critical Duty bandwagon of bullets that reduce jacket separation...

    The shield and +p ammo

    Pretty much. From the research I've done of other people's chrono results with 3.1 barreled guns, it looks like the +P 9mm ammo is producing about 40 fps more.

    Which .380 to get for CCW.

    Kel Tec 380 has served me well for a couple years now. I know Ruger is a good brand, but I think they copied Kel Tec's design on that one. I trust the original better. I would NOT trust my life with a Taurus or Diamondback. Too many stories of feeding/reliability issues. And that video of the...

    Hornady Leverevolution for 686 4 inch and Marlin 1894 .357 ???

    Please do because I've had issues with Critical Defense shells expanding and getting stuck in the cylinder of my 4-inch 681. Although I like Hornady's Leverevolution and Critical Duty ammo, I've been leery of the Critical Defense ever since.

    357 Sig Carbine

    Please!! It would be so fun, reliable, and potent in an emergency. It could have an interchangeable barrel or upper to convert it to .40 caliber.

    Hornady Critical Defense or Duty for Shield 9mm?

    Can you tell us how many rounds of it you have fired through your Shield? I don't have a large budget to test ammo with, but I can report that I have fired 20 rounds of Critical Duty +P and 12 rounds of Critical Duty standard through my Shield, with no issues. Altogether I've fired over 300...
