    Just Got My 2025 Mountain Gun 44 Mag

    You mean like the stocks specified in Chapter 7 of "No Second Place Winner" by William Jordan? It is cut to your hand. Jordan Troopers from Heretts Stocks. Unfortunately, these are no longer made. There are so many aftermarket stocks available that you should not have any trouble finding...

    Favorite low or mid rise holster

    Take a look at Privateer Gun Leather (privateerleather.com). The Corsair is his low ride pancake and the Highwayman is mid-ride. He makes three heights for most models. I dislike the Milt Sparks PMK since it's too thick and wide. It also has almost no forward cant and the channel is too...

    How to become a certified armorer?

    Start your own security company and get certified by the state. One small contract and you're good to go. Heck, make an order for some M&P's and get the classes thrown in as part of the deal.

    What happened to the Colt King Cobra .22's

    The gun looked great until I got to those grips. Sheesh...they chose the ugliest rubber grips possible. If I get one, it's getting new stocks immediately.

    Finally bought a Python

    LOL. You think that's "expensive". Congrats! I think you're gonna love shooting it. They're really cool revolvers.

    carry expensive gun?

    Lawyering costs $500+/hour for a self-defense case. So, count the price in lawyer hours. After you get to several hundred billable hours, the eight hours your 1911 cost doesn't even register as an expense worth looking at. Maybe you'll get lucky and only spend $20k and never get to the...

    I am thinking of this model with DCC clips:

    JM Custom Kydex AIWB Wing Claw 2.0?

    Does anyone have one of these holsters for an S&W N-Frame with 4" barrel? If so, what do you think? Is it comfortable, or at least adjustable enough to make it useful? I am thinking of getting one to carry my 4" 629 and maybe my 629 3" if it works out.

    School me on the Smith Wesson 610

    I had one. I sold it because it was pointless to have an intermediate cartridge between 357 and 44. Better to get a 44 and download 44 Magnum or use hot 357. All are commercially available.

    Buying a Glock. Thoughts or feedback?

    I like my Glocks. Models 21.4, 30.4 and 48.1 are particular favorites (numbers are MODEL.VERSION). The new 17 Gen 5 (17.5) is quite nice and made me finally get another 17. I did not like the 17.3 that was standard for a long time. The Glock 19 is also good. I like the 26.3 and 26.4, but...

    Buying a Glock. Thoughts or feedback?

    Great gun. I dislike the snap of the 40 S&W round. The 17 is better.

    The Lost Art of the Full Size Carry

    Thoughts, in no order: 1) Split loop holsters hide a bit better than holsters with the loops on the face. IWB or OWB: Milt Sparks Criterion and any pancake holster are examples. 2) Straight cut shirts where the width at the arm pits is nearly the same as at the waist. 3) A solid gunbelt at...
