    Glock 42, impulse buy

    For the record, I don't like Glocks, but the 42 fit my hand unlike any other Glock I've tried so I decided to give it a go. I bought one for concealed carry, and am very pleased with the pistol. It has been very reliable with ball ammo and have not had any issues with Hornady brand XTP and...

    New Bersa Thunder .380

    My wife has the Combat version. It is comfortable to hold and incredibly accurate. It has more of a kick than my Glock 42 but it hasn't failed in anout 350 rounds so far. I bought some Promag brand magazines from Cdnnsports and they have run flawlessly.

    Patrol duty folder reccomendations

    I carry a crkt fossil clip point, non serrated folder. It is the smoothest opening folder i have, with a glass-smooth ball bearing mechanism. I am not sure how well it would work for a lefty but for right side deployment it is great. It is just under 4 inches. It is scary looking tho, so I keep...

    The Pietta Python

    tl;dr: ----------- Purist: "It ain't a real Colt!" Pragmatist: "I like it, it looks and functions just like a real Colt!" Purist: "You cheapskate! You just don't want to spend thousands on a popular gun because you aren't as cool as me, and I love real Colts!" Pragmatist: "Now hold on, I...

    Looking for a little .22 semi plinker

    Here's more pics of the guts of my PPK/S .22. I hope this helps give you a sensibility of the gun. The knife in the preceding post is a 3.9" blade CRKT Fossil btw, so that should give you a sense of the size of the gun. FWIW, I am not a fan of the reversed safety on the SR22, it's...

    Looking for a little .22 semi plinker

    I purchased one of the new Walther PPK/S pistols in nickle from Cabelas about a year and a half ago. I love the pistol, it has not failed on me with any standard velocity or high velocity ammo. I have about 700 rounds through it. It is as accurate as a 3.5ish length barrel is. It is not as nice...

    If you woke one morning and society had collapsed

    I enjoy perusing these threads as the participants tend to distribute into either Grasshoppers or Ants. Aesop was a pretty smart fellow. AK pistol is my choice, bugging in or out. Reliable, scary-looking, compact, powerful.

    Sig .22lr 1911 copy

    I have had so much fun with this gun. :D The Sig is the exact same gun as the GSG 1911. The Sig/GSG 1911s have tons of add-ons you can purchase to turn them into very respectable target pistols. You can also change out almost all parts with 1911 parts. They do have the non-steel slide, but...

    Jealous Local Gun Shops MOD PLS LOCK

    I do see what you're saying, but since there are a number of collectors on this forum, I don't think it's fair to start accusing people of running guns -- especially since this forum has numerous LEOs on it. Who in their right mind would brag about doing something illegal on here? Also, with...

    Cheapest Gun you consider Good not SW

    I picked up an EAA SAR B6P compact for $250 from CDNN. It may not be a "name brand" gun and it has a plastic frame, but it is very accurate and reliable. Came with a great trigger out of the box. No complaints. I'm extremely pleased with my $400 Canik P-120 that is a full-size clone of a CZ...

    Jealous Local Gun Shops MOD PLS LOCK

    Adam Smith is your friend. I don't mean to sound snide, but anyone in American business should take some time to become really familiar with this guy: Adam Smith: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics | Library of Economics and Liberty It puzzles me that a store owner who offers reasonable FFL...

    Russian handgun training.

    In Soviet Russia... target shoots you. That shot to the ground was repeated in both of the latter drills - same angle, same timing. I'm wagering it's purposeful, not an accident.

    Surprise gift for my fiancee

    The diamond department is taken care of, never fear. She likes guns too, so I aim to keep her happy. She's definitely a keeper. :)

    Surprise gift for my fiancee

    So, my fiancee has been hankering for the Walther Uzi pistol in .22 for about the last two years. She gets this gleeful grin on her face when she talks about getting one someday and then will sigh and say, "Aw well, it's in .22. I really probably don't need another .22." We're getting married...

    A Wee Joke...

    My aunt taught inner-city school in Riverside, CA for thirty years. Among the many misnomered youths she encountered, the most memorable were the twin children she had one year, a boy who's name was pronounced "Mah-le" and his sister's, "Fa-mah-le"... spelled, Male and Female, respectively.

    How government can circumvent our rights

    I work in IT. Join me in a hypothetical moment here: Pretend that you worked at my business and misplaced your personal laptop somewhere in the vicinity of the business. Then you called me to report it stolen. I told you, "Gee, mister, what serial number was on the laptop?.... Uh-huh...
