Doc, I recently bought a PC Shield 45 and had this problem first time out as well as the slide would not lock back after last round fired from both mags, fired 100 rds hoping it would work itself out. Sent the pistol back to Performance Center and they replaced the barrel. Fired another 300 rds...

I have Crimson Trace on my 642, 1911 Colt Defender, and 1911 Caspian. I also have Lasermax on my 1911 Caspian (test mule), and InsightTec on my 380 Body Guard. I have 5 deployments under my belt to Iraq where I used Crimson Trace on my issued 9mm. Out of all of them the Crimson Trace was the...

I carry S&W 642 with Crimson Trace Grips as on of my PI tools, works well as designed no complaints. Other tools or the trade are my 1911 Colt Defender, 1911 Caspian, S&W Bodyguard 380, all with laser sights. What ever pistol/revolver you decide to go with, plan on sufficient range time, good...

I have been using a Remora reinforced top for my BG380 for over a month now and am very impressed with the way it performs. I can easily draw and re-holster without difficulty. I will call Alan soon to order another one for my 642 and Colt Defender. SF180A

I have had my Remora 2A RFT (reinforced Top) for two weeks now and wanted to share my positive experience. From day one this has quickly become my holster of choice over my other Soft tuck DeSantis IWB holster. I am still out on the road, but want to say I have had no problems carrying it in...

Welcome from Chesapeake Virginia, I too have a 380 BG and a 642 as my BUG, they both work flawlessly.

After reading this thread, and as a new S&W 380 Bodyguard owner, I was interested in finding a good way to carry the little pistol other then just shoved inside one of my pants or jacket pockets. I went ahead and placed an order this morning with Remora Holsters for a 2A RFT. Since then I have...

Lots of good information on this thread. Back in the late 70s while assigned to the 10th Special Forces Group, we taught survival and mountaineer training to West Point Cadets. We were given permission from the base Game Wardens to take local game (fish & fur) for the survival class. Several...

casey K frame, You may find two schools of thought on this. 1.Those that prefer a mounted light, as there are various options for frame mounted lights that can suit your needs. Understand that this set up will be a comprise in extra bulk and the need for a holster adapted for the mounted...

Nevadavx, I have crimson trace on all my personal defense pistols and regularly train or give training to others with them on. Not sure of the model you have but mine have an on/off switch as you can turn them off for specific shooting evolutions such as a battery failure and use the fixed...

I agree with Roadranger, I have a new 642 with CT #405 lasergrips with no complaints. Well maybe just one minor complaint, every one at the range wants to try mine out, a few have ever asked how much I would sell it for. Best of luck with your CCW choice. SF180A

I have owned the BG 380 since Christmas and have no complaints. It does what it was bought for quite nicely (a small concealable, reliable BUG). I have had no problems as the pistol shoots reliably each time i have had it out at the range (over 200 rds). Being one who has Crimson Trace on 4...

Janster, Here is a company that makes night sights for the S&W 380 BG. XS 24/7 BIG DOT S&W BODYGRD 380 SET Good luck and enjoy your CCW class. SF180A/Brent Remember the first fast accurate shot goes home, and that needs to be you

Not sure what your price range is or if you prefer only leather or polymer material construction found in other injection molded holsters. Blackhawk has a good (reasonably priced) Serpa retention that I have use in Iraq with no complaints. Personally I am not one for retention straps, but that...

WOW! After reading then re-reading this post. It would definitely sit down with the gun shop owner to review his security and contingency plans for protecting his employees and customers. You can replace property loss do to theft, but a loss of life or serious injury do to someones poor...
