    Thoughts on 22 for CCW

    Sure executions with a .22 makes good business sense. You don't need to sell much crack to buy a box of .22LR!:p I started out with a .380 for a carry gun. I upsized because I realized carrying a bigger caliber for protection made sense. In a life or death situation where you only have a split...

    Thoughts on 22 for CCW

    I would hate to find out the hard way it wasn't enough gun but as someone previously stated, it sure beats throwing a rock. All the people who carry the smaller calibers must be very confident in their abilities to put shots exactly where they aim on a moving target no less, and under...

    Home Invasion Question

    A verbal warning would be situational at best. If someone bursts into your bedroom at 2am, shouting a warning is probably not the 1st thing that will pop into your mind. Alternatively, hearing someone creeping around down stairs at 2am is a completely different scenario. It is a good thing to...

    SW99 9mm

    I seen this pistol on a magazine cover back in Australia many years ago and fell in love with just the look of it. When I finally got my gun license here in the States it was the first pistol I wanted to buy. I got to the gun store, handled it, dry fired it a few times ... and then walked out...

    All things .380

    Fastbolt makes some great points. I will only add that no amount of training can prepare you for the real deal. When the adrenaline is coursing, the hands are shaking and the hearts pounding could you put a low power small calibre round where it needs to go to stop someone from taking your life...

    All things .380

    The first gun I bought was a PK380 for the express purpose of concealed carry. I was disappointed in the caliber and the quality and it took me about a month to realize I didn't want to find out it wasn't enough gun by finding out it wasn't enough gun. traded it for a S&W1911 subcompact in...

    Feed problems with 1911

    I took mine to the range today and experimented a little with gripping the gun in a variety of different methods including a limp wristed method, a death grip method and everything in between. I managed to get the gun to malfunction twice with a failure to feed. Both times when I had the gun in...

    Marine with CCW saves woman

    Not sure about the law in WI but in Mass, If the guy just kept kicking the woman you couldn't draw down without breaking the law. You would have to provoke the guy further to get him to turn his attention to you. stoopid laws. IB

    Feed problems with 1911

    I have one as well, and it failed to return to battery twice for me in the first 20 rounds. I had to push the slide forward with my thumb, but then worked perfectly for the next 50 rounds through it. Three quick things to look at ... 1) What ammo were you using? 2) Did the Failure to feeds...

    Gun Range Etiquette

    Hello Guys, I was at the range a few days ago with .45acp a 9mm and a .40 using factory ammo. I turn around to change firearms and I notice a guy picking up my spent shell casings and then placing them in his bag. There was a range instructor there and he even mentioned to them how he just...
