    My family and I will be driving across parts of five states tomorrow to get back home for Thanksgiving. I thought it might be interesting to know what others take along for the ride. I'll be carrying a Shield in and out of the van and an M&P40 FS tucked in the side pocket of the door. Before...

    price on Federal primers?

    $35 +/- per 1K for CCI, Federal, Winchester at my local shop. Supply is still sporadic but at least they have primers in stock more frequently lately.

    Are you happy with your Shield???

    I just got my Shield 40 yesterday and have only fired about 150 rounds. However, right out of the box the slide didn't seem too stiff or difficult to rack and from most of the posts it seems that it will get even easier with use. I'm looking forward to putting a lot of rounds through it.

    You should've seen the look on his face.....

    Georgia is easy and quick. Only an application and background check and the permit was issued in about a week.

    Shield 40 Joined FS 40

    After a long wait I finally decided to pick up a Shield 40. I really wanted something more comfortable for concealed carry and knew this would do it. Took a quick trip to the range and I'm very happy with performance and feel. One of my son's actually liked it better than the FS. A Remora...

    Holster Choice

    +1 Lobo Gun Leather. I'm still new to concealed carry but have been wearing my iwb with a M&P40 FS for a couple of weeks and have found it very comfortable. Drove 6+ hours wearing today while also stopping at some stores and restaurants.

    How much your CCW Permit cost?

    About $79 in my county in Georgia for a 5-year permit. Each county charges similar fees but they can vary a little. Only requirement is an application and background check. Very straightforward process and I had mine within two weeks.

    Who carries a full size concealed?

    After reading quite a few reviews on this forum when looking for an IWB I decided to try a Lobo Gun Leather holster. I just got it Saturday right on time as promised. I wore it tonight for my first CC outing and was very confident in the holster and it was more comfortable than I thought it...

    My "First Time"

    Steely Dan, I appreciate you posting your question. I had a similar first-time experience this evening carrying my M&P40 FS in a Lobo IWB holster. I went to the local big box home improvement store and kept wanting to check that my pullover fleece jacket was concealing properly with the holster...
