I carry Remington Golden Saber 380 ACP in my LCP. The Golden Sabers are designed to expand at 380 speeds.

First was a used US Customs officer's surplus 5906. I didn't realize what I had at the time and sold it a couple of years later. I wish I still had it!

I carry a few different revolvers. A 442 (no hammer), a 637 (hammer) and a Taurus 856 with a factory bobbed hammer. I've never had a problem drawing any of them. If you're worried about the hammer snagging on something, learn to draw with your thumb on top of the hammer and then let it slide...

Based on your posts, you may be taking people's responses to a pic of a gun you posted personally. I thought it was an interesting picture, people are just giving their opinion of a gun like that. That's how internet forums work.

Where did anyone say "You're a moron if you buy that"? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Apparently a lot of people don't see the beauty there that you do.

My EDC S&W 442 is fed Remington Golden Saber 125gr +P. They're designed for reliable expansion from a snubby and the independant testing I've see shows that they do. Hiking, fishing, or general outdoor recreation will have me carrying a Taurus 856 and that will be loaded with Underwood Hard...

I have nothing against the 380, but I don't see the point in carrying a larger gun with it. I have 2 LCPs I'll carry and feel fine with them and the round. But the guns are small, and that's why I'm carrying them. If I have a choice of a larger pistol in 9mm or 380; 9mm is going to be the...

I get a couple of those calls a day. They're the new car warranty spam. I tell them I don't care what happens after I die, I'm no longer responsible for it.

Law Enforcement is where I first encountered them too. You're not wrong about the cheap look that the FRN scales on some of their knives have. They do their job well though, I've never had one slip in my hand or break, but then I also buy a knife for the blade quality, not the scales.

I'm a fan of Spyderco and own several. I have a couple of different Endura models I carry, along with a Tenacious. I bought a Civillian out of curiosity a few years ago, quite the knife. I don't carry it at all, because reasons lol. I also have a Matriarch 2 which I do carry a bit. I like...

Beautiful revolver. I doubt the holster is original. You can find these all over Ebay and Amazon selling for about $20.

That's not a Charter Arms, that's a Taurus.

I've been using KCI mags for my G17 without issue.

Nice. Do you reload for 9x18 or is there a lot of factory ammo still available? Sorry for the questions, this is a caliber I've been interested in. Unfortunately I didn't get a Makarov in the past when they were everywhere and less than $200.

So you mainly carry Makarovs?
