One man's manufacturing shortcut is another's cosmetic enhancement. Personally, I won't own a revolver that doesn't have one.

Beautiful gun. I think I want to do a restoration like yours on my own. Any tips would be much appreciated.

I just picked this up today in anticipation of a long trip next month. I really like it so far and am spending some time red-gun training with it then will train with an empty M&P before I am comfortable enough to carry with a new set up....... I really like it so far though. It is...

Here is an interesting factoid from FL. In addition to any other firearm approved by the department, licensee who has been issued a Class “G” license may carry a .38 caliber revolver; or a .380 caliber or 9 millimeter semiautomatic pistol; or a .357 caliber revolver with .38 caliber ammunition...

Situational Awareness can absolutely be taught/learned if the student wants to learn. My career has been in military aviation and I still train military aviators. There is a grading spot for SA on every grade sheet and is absolutely the most important part of aviation. Applying that same SA...

I have been drop kicked by a West Texas Jack Rabbit and you are not kidding there. You better get REALLY fast if you are going to beat one of those rattler snakes as close as the one in the pic below.

As a civilian I would go so far as to say there are not many times I would engage anyone at 30 feet with the exception of an active shooter maybe and that is still a maybe. I use and train the stance at targets beyond 10 feet as weapon retention becomes a factor when the attacker gets closer...

I shot weaver most of my life then went through FLETC and they taught isosceles. Took some work to train the first out of me. I am good with either but train isosceles. Grip is two thumbs forward when shooting two hands.

I carry this in NW Florida more than any of my other guns. Mostly because it is small and fits in my pocket and even in a bathing suit pocket. Yeah, not the best man stopper but it is something I will actually carry in the summer heat here.

Streamlight 670 lumen flash/strobe in my left light pocket pocket and an 1100 lumen version in my truck. For the reasons stated above I prefer them separate. I do like the tritium sites though. I don't use lasers but they have their purposes but I would prefer them in the grip like Crimson...

Many states no longer require a CCL to carry concealed on one's person and it gets really simple in those states so long as you don't travel outside your knowledge base. When I lived in MS the car was treated as an extension of your home and you could carry concealed or open in the vehicle. (I...

That is the beauty of the CWL/CCL and reciprocity. You still have to follow the laws of the state you are traveling through but just having the licence will generally allow you to have a weapon loaded and in your car anywhere you travel assuming you don't go to a state that touches the Pacific...

So, the arguments against are you will probably never need it so why buy it. Isn't that the same argument against carrying a concealed firearm? In all likelihood you won't need it so why carry at all? If you have made the choice to carry which costs considerably more than any of these...

It varies widely state to state. The obvious answer is to get a concealed carry permit even if all you are going to do is carry it in your car. Some states require that you tell the police if stopped. Some do not. If you have the permit and are required to announce then have your DL, CWL...

OK, given the OP is long gone the title still got my attention. The answer is I wouldn't. Yeah, with the right shot placement it will work but as an SD gun, just no. I do carry a 22 mag as my primary at times and even there it is more a belly gun to give me time to escape as the attacker...

What it really comes down to is this. If you want a 12 pound trigger then shoot a 12 pound trigger. If you want a safety on your gun, have one. If you want a 3 or four pound trigger pull with no safety, then get one. Regardless of trigger pulls, which I have had to Google what they were on my...

I don't think anyone here is arguing that a three pound trigger pull is a huge advantage at realistic SD ranges. What they are saying, or at least what I am saying is that I wouldn't and don't rely on a heavier trigger pull to avoid an ND. I believe the double action trigger pull on my 686 is...

If only it were that simple. I think common sense will keep you on the right side of the law more often than. But laws are written by politicians who often seem to be lacking common sense and knowing the intricacies might be the difference between going to jail or prison and going home after an...

I have been in three "real world" situations where I used a handgun. Not once did my finger go into the trigger guard until the weapon was on target. No, I never had to pull it and I am happy about that. 7 feet was WAY beyond the distance for two of those incidents. 7 inches was probably too...

None of the guns I have really spent a lot of time with have safeties. My safety is keeping my finger off the trigger until ready to fire and making sure nothing else gets inside the trigger guard. To this day, almost invariably, I forget the safety when shooting a gun that has one. Of course...
