I have a 4006. It was originally my Mother-in-Law's but once I pulled the trigger for the first time I looked over at my husband and told him this gun is mine now. I actually love this gun and .40 has become one of my favorite calibers.

I personally think it is fine to ask others opinions, though when it comes down to it that is all it is, opinions. My Shield has the safety. I have two small children and wanted just a little bit of extra security. And no, I am not leaving my gun on the desk hoping my 3 year old won't grab it. I...

I know it is not the same but I got a model 4006 in .40, these 3rd gen S&W's are amazing guns. I think I will be looking out for more. I also like .40, it seems like a 'red-headed stepchild' round when I ask for it at the gun shops but I honestly enjoy it more than 9mm at the range.

I don't think I fall into any category with my gun interests. I have always liked older classics (bicycles and books included), it was a no-brainer for me to go for revolvers first. However I can also see the appeal of ARs and striker fire pistols. After buying quite a few revolvers and one...

I clean mine every time I go shooting. I don't think they all need it but that is just the kind of person I am.

I had to spend the day indoors. Smoke from the MT fires is soo thick you cannot see the house two down from ours.

I have a 442 that I have been carrying, I personally think the recoil isn't bad, even with +p. Then again my favorite guns to shoot are my 19-2 and my 629-2 (both with magnums). I did just order a 9mm Shield that I plan to make a CCW (I am hoping it's thinner form might conceal better than my...

I get the 'guy from TX' all the time. Almost every email I get is from one of these people. First they ask a random, normal person sounding, question about the gun. No matter what you respond back with they respond with 'I really want to buy it however I live in TX, what would be the shipping...

Reminds me of one of my husband's coworkers coming across a guy with a blue 6" barely fired 29-3, he said he just wanted enough to pay his electric bill, which was $200. Still jealous. :p

At my range when I bring my revolvers I mostly just get people around my age (I am 27) just staring at me and the older crowd getting very excited to see me with the classics and coming over to hold them. Usually people seem uncomfortable to talk to me (don't know if it is because I am a woman...

Thank you for the advice, I have done a few of the little things already (like having a night light in every room), I also have a habit of rechecking locks before I go to sleep. I already have wedges in the windows and sliding glass door too. One of the nice things about my house is all the...

I have a cataract in my left eye but surgery would not help in my case. I was born with it and it has caused my eye to develop poorly, I have been told the eye itself doesn't not have sight even if the cataract was removed. I am 27 and starting to get glaucoma. :/

I have a question. So I have been told to use the same gun, grips, ammo, ect. when training so you get used to shooting with the setup you are more likely to have when needing to defend yourself. I wear glasses but I take them off at night and leave them on my bathroom counter, I was wondering...

Unfortunately I don't think I can wear an ankle holster due to my severe psoriasis. However I know, me personally, I would rather not carry at all then have it in a purse for the safety of my children. My 3 yr old son I am sure would point it at me or himself if he were to get a hold of it and...

Thank you for all the advice everyone. Because I only had the holster it came with I have tried on the hip and appendix carry. For comfort, I like the hip carry better but the gun tends to show itself when I bend over, plus I have to watch out more in that position when around my kids, I have a...
