Like some others, I carry from getting up in the morning, to going to bed at night. My holster is so comfortable that I can't even tell I'm carrying.

1) It happened a few years ago, when South Carolina didn't have open carry (which is a more recent change). 2) Myrtle Beach is in SOUTH Carolina, not North Carolina. 3) Nothing exaggerated about it at all. It happened just like I explained it. Sometimes you get one of those cops.

I'm not a lawyer, but I've NEVER seen brandishing applied to accidental exposure. Brandishing has to have intent. A friend of mine, from North Carolina, was riding a bicycle in the Myrtle Beach area when the wind blew his shirt up, exposing his otherwise concealed firearm. A cop saw it and...

All I know is that I've shot my Colt Army Special 38 without any additional damage to the grips. They have some chips and such here and there, but that's the way it was when I bought it. Nothing has happened to it since from shooting it. I will say that they do get a bit slippery with sweaty...

I can't imagine wearing clothes I couldn't conceal in unless it was a VERY big firearm. I've carried my S&W 5906 (full size, heavy 9mm) while wearing swimtrunks and a tshirt. Just had to make sure the string was tight so my trunks didn't end up around my ankles. :) My carry holster is a low...

I have a 617-6 that I love to shoot. I don't really like that it has a 10-shot cylinder because I like a traditional 6-shot, but beggars can't be chosers when buying these sorts of things. Still a great gun.

My wife has a 442 in satin nickel. She's never complained, but it does hurt my hand. :) I put the Houge tamer grips on it and they helped a little. We still like the compact size and light weight. It's definitely not a target practice gun. It's an up close, save your life gun. As long as...

Same, when I travel. I carry what I normally carry. Out of state people be careful in South Carolina and Florida. A friend of mine spent some hours in jail because a cop caught a glimpse of his firearm when he was riding a bike and arrested him for "open carry". South Carolina now has open...

Never underestimate the stupidity, the ignorance, or the agenda/philosophy (or a combination of all) of a juror. I don't know how this went down in court, but the prosecutor seems to have a made a point of it and it stuck with this particular juror.

Here's what a juror had to say as one of the reasons he voted to convict John McNeil of murdering of Brian Epp: “You know anybody who carries around a gun with hollow-point bullets? They aren’t just wanting to scare somebody."

While I've owned various knives since about 5th grade, I started carrying a knife every day after a gun club meeting about 30 years ago. The speaker was talking about alternative weapons when he flicked open a knife so fast I thought it was a switch blade. It was a Spyderco knife. I had never...

I second the recommendation for a Limbsaver recoil pad. I put one on my 12 gauge double and there is a big difference in felt recoil.

Thanks! They have it for $325. I might could get it for about half that It just looked neat. Would it be safe to shoot? Might be fun to plink with.

I came across this Smith and Wesson 32 caliber top break at an estate sale. Serial number on the cylinder and on the butt is 200309. I’m just curious as to what a good price would be? Thanks.

Saw my first S&W 908 this weekend when a friend brought one over to get some lessons on shooting. His dad gave it to him. Nice looking firearm and it shot very well. Very accurate. Wasn't finicky on any ammo. Typical 3rd Gen S&W. I'd buy one if I can across one for a decent price.
