    Byron Smith verdict.

    As a Minnesotan and strong supporter of the 2nd amendment, I have been following this tragity since it happened. There are no winners here. The kids broke into someone's house, most likely to steal Rx meds. They were wrong in their actions and paid the ultimate price for it. However, Smith...

    Police Men & Police Women: Revolver or Semiautomatic?

    Great question. I love the capacity of my semiautos but I love the simplicity of my revolver. I have never ever had one single FTF or FTE with my revolver. I pull the trigger five times and it goes "bang" five times. I work in the EMS industry and every single LEO I have had contact with...

    Asian Carp Endangered in MN

    I live in Minnesota and this is just one more example of PC over-reach BS. I am pretty sure no one even bothered to ask any of our Asian friends if they were offended. My neighbor (who happens to be Asian-American) was floored that this was even an issue taking up time at our state legislature...

    Give me a reason

    Kimber makes a very nice gun, at a very high price. I have a friend that has a Kimber and it is a joy to shoot. However, it is his only gun. If you are looking for a reliable gun to carry as a CCW both the Kimber and S&W will work great. The main thing is that the gun goes "bang" when you pull...

    What is a Good IWB Holster for CC of M&P?

    I am 5'11" and 225lbs. I carry my Shield .40 in a holster from Hidden Hybrid Holsters I love it. It is comfortable and gives you plenty of carry options and adjustment. It can also be used as an IWB or OWB depending on your needs. Check them out...very well made.

    How cold is too cold?

    I live in MN. The next couple of days we will see temps of -25 with wind chills of up to -60. I plan on smoking some ribs (outside) and catching up on the latest "global warming" buzz...

    9 mm Shield first 135 rounds.... Update..... more range time

    I am pretty sure most gun owner manuals start with suggesting to read the entire owners manual prior to shooting so wherever it states to "clean and lube before use" is irrelevant since that should have been read first. I have lost count of how many rounds I have fired from my Shield .40 but...

    Unwanted stuff in the mail.

    I hate junk mail. I got an unsolicited DVD from the NRA once, didn't want it and took my time and energy to send it back, as instructed. The I kept getting notices from the NRA saying they have not received it yet and threatening to charge me for it. I had to spend more of my time calling...

    How many mags do you need?

    At a minimum I would say four per gun. Although, I don't think there is any one correct answer. I actually have five for my .40 Shield (four 7rnd and one 6 rnd) and four for my .40 FS M&P. My wife has a 9mm Shield but only has the two factory magazines it came with. I like four at the range so...
