I am aware of a holster that can be mounted right under the dash, keeping the pistol relatively out of sight and accessible. It overcomes the potential discomfort of carrying in a seated position and potential difficulties drawing rapidly. You may find some in old articles by Pat Rogers, as he...

I am partial to the two platforms in .357. The primary risk is not large carnivores, but "human" predators. The 10mm auto pistol is probably the best compromise, as it is possible to shoot it faster and more accurately than a revolver for most of us and has adequate ballistics. Remember that if...

Your use of the translation program seems pretty good. I have seen some that are less impressive. Depending on condition and other variables, probably in the $700-1000 (US) range.

I tend to think that bidder is not a member here, as most can research value and prudent bids more easily than a less sophisticated buyer without access to the insights provided here.

** The writers are not familiar with serious gun people. I wear a holstered pistol all day every day a work. I do not like having it out of my control.

Glad you were not hurt. That's the important part. You can replace a gun; a hand or eye, not so much. To me, the causation is not very important unless someone is fiscally responsible. The fact that it was FMJ is likely not relevant; it is possible to screw up making ammo of any type. As for...

You are likely to have to go with a custom or at least semi custom maker. I used ankle carry off and on for years for limited purposes, but even for a BUG I did not like it. The best I found for my G26/33 was a holster that laced into my duty boots. By doing so, it reduced the pressure on my...

Not a practice with which I agree, but I will admit that sitting in a chair armed can suck. I have one chair in my office that is there just for uniformed deputies.

In my academy we shot to the 50. The skill and confidence resulting were useful; remember that this was at a time (1989) when patrol rifles were not very common. We also shot with slugs to that distance. In a subsequence FI class, we shot on movers out to 75 yards. I did ok, at least, but I'd...

I can tell from the picture that is a 5" barrel. I am pretty sure that with all the supporting records, the value is pretty stout. IMHO, it is worth more as a great useful tool.

This could not have happened without breaching most or all of Cooper's rules. Shameful. Complacency and firearms should never mix. I was taught to hand firearms to another with the action still open after inspecting it.

* Grips are very personal due to hand size and the like, but the M13 is a fighting gun. I came into shooting at a time when the utility of wood grips was ... questioned, and the first thing a serious shooter did was pitch the wood and put on rubber. Most of my revolvers have rubber because they...

This is an open forum, so if personal security is of value, locations and other data are imprudent. Your choice. I tend to err one the side of personal security; once data is out on the 'net, it is there forever. More important: this ballistic performance description is consistent with the...

FWIW, I doubt LAPD had much if any influence on the HB M10 as they tended to or even mandated the adjustable sight models (M14, M15, M68). Their emphasis on marksmanship in days gone by required the better sight picture. I am one of those for whom the fixed sight models don't work well - faster...

Case in point: The new Lipsey's models, especially the 686 MG, are appealing. I have other priorities and probably won't get one in the new term, but if I was making their decisions, I would have S&W ship them to Lipsey's for real inspections based on some of the implementation flaws in the...

Sounds similar to writing papers in grad school (MPA) and briefs as a lawyer. They make perfect sense and one's brain fills in the stuff that is less than perfect. If you don't have someone else to proofread, letting it sit for a sleep cycle or two is a real good idea. Heck, some of my posts...

The comments about these sorts of issues being common now are on point. It is very uncommon to have adequate QC is any business as far as I can tell. Recent history with American car makers is similar or worse. Boeing is a train wreck. All of these stems from similar problems: "Leadership" is...

My understanding is that in general, each day on your backside in a hospital takes a week to overcome.

#5 about cats and dogs is a winner. Our cat was raised by dogs and quite bonded to most of them (primarily Rottweilers). She was the meanest critter we had, barred from a boarding facility. The only dog we had that was as intolerant of strangers was Bozo, who was half Fila and took after that...

*** Generally a good choice. Most conventional social media is inconsistent with personal security and should be avoided unless needed for family reasons, and then they should blocked down tight.
