I wanted a long gun that I could have fun plinkin' with and use as an HD gun if need be, after my 9c. I stayed with the 9mm, as it's what I already have, it's more readily available than .22 LR (around here) and is cheaper than most other calibers. I took it to the range and zeroed it with he...

I'm a single father with below average income, yet I get my annual membership. While I can't make the regular donations, I make my voice heard by maintaining a membership and writing my legislators.

I can load my magazines without it, but why? The Uplulu is faster, when you get then hang of it and so much easier on the thumbs.

Duty carry, yes. US Army MP, the First Gulf War (Operation Desert Shield/Storm), Bosnia (Operation Joint Endeavor, IFOR/SFOR) and Operation Iraqi Freedom. In my civilian carrier, as one of three perimeter units, pulling shotguns to prevent a full out riot/gang war.

I've found three online test results, The Lucky Gunner Test (link in Saudade's post #2), the Shooting The Bull's YouTube Channel or Blog and the ar15.com test. One thing to note, through my research, it looks like the 1:10" twist of the stock barrel isn't conducive to the accuracy of the 147...

That's what I carry with. It doesn't look that straight after a few months of wear.

From an email I got today: A FREE REPORT FROM THE PUBLISHERS OF CONCEALED CARRY MAGAZINE December 2015 • Issue No. 51 The Criminals’ Conundrum BY TIM SCHMIDT - USCCA FOUNDER Tim Schmidt Just one day after 2015’s final Republican debate focused heavily on national security, The Hill reported...

My M&P9c in my AIWB Crossbreed Appendix Carry Holster, with me all the time. Looking at a Shield (9mm or .40 S&W?) at tax time. Maybe even a Hi Point (GASP!) 4095TS (or 995TS) Carbine. Why doesn't S&W make a pistol caliber carbine?

I actually cleaned mine a couple of days ago, before I saw this thread.

There are three fairly reputable tests that many follow, aside from the FBI/WBI tests. The Lucky Gunner Labs Test, AR15.com Test and the on going Shooting the Bull Test. Notice there are a few common rounds that test well in all three or at least a couple of them. Those are ones that should be...

I corrected this for most of the churches I know.

Concealed and all the time. At the moment, concealed carry, with a permit, is the only legal way to carry in Florida. Open carry is scheduled for the up coming Senate and House Sessions in January. If passed, it will only apply to CCL holders. Why, 20 years and counting as a CO, even a more...

I work with the worship team at my church. There are a couple there that I knew carried. We got in a discussion and as it turns out we have about 15 to 20 carrying in each of our two Sunday Services (between 200-300) that carry. The afore mentioned worship team members, a few ushers, in the...

I don't plan on open carrying, but would like the option if needed. We already have an amendment on the CC laws for accidental, brief exposure protection. Unfortunately, some of the anti-2A Sheriffs in Florida say if we can see it, then you took too long to cover it, whether or not you know it's...

To the best of my knowledge, this actually started on December 3 with Ulster County (NY) Sheriff, Paul Van Blarcum's FB post. Marion Count (FL) Sheriff, Chris Blair jumped on board Tuesday with this FB Post with Video. There's atleast one other thread concerning this in the Concealed Carry &...
