    Ladysmith = "Girl Gun?"

    There's nothing wrong with a Kimber Micro .380 or SIG 238. Fill it with HST and all is well.

    Ankle Carry with Boots

    I've carried a LCP in an ankle holster tucked in the top of my Wellington work boots without a problem. Granted, it sits high on my calf but it can't go anywhere and it's very concealed.

    Replace a J frame with a Shield, yes or no?

    If I found the Shield for $299 I'd buy another because around here $359 has been the lowest I've seen. I've got 2 J Frames that I like to carry but sometimes I prefer my Shield because it's so easy in a IWB holster. Keep the J Frame and get the Shield, it's good to be proficient with both types...

    I have the same gun but with the stock finish. I haven't seen one like yours, is it a custom finish?

    BEST Concealed Carry Revolver

    I like to carry my 637 Gunsmoke PC edition which now has the S&W walnut grips instead of the polymer clip grip. Beautiful gun with a smooth trigger. I also like to carry a M36 with a nickel finish from the classic collection. I replaced the springs with some from APEX and it's a great shooter...

    How to poop with a CCW

    I prefer to use the handicap stall because the stool is taller and it's easier on my back. I don't spend anymore time in there than I need to so if someone has to wait that's life. I've had to wait so long on a stall that I've been forced to leave and look for another restroom. Being a trucker...

    Shield 9 or 40?

    9mm I like my 9 and the cheapest improvement is to buy a few Pearce grip extenders. I've had great luck with mine. I had 2 Shields with one having done an Apex trigger and fiber sights.I traded it off for a new Model 36. I also tried the Crimson Trace laser on my other one which works fine...

    I use Herter's in .380,9mm and 38spl all the time without issues in all my guns.I find it cleaner than Win. and Rem. and when Cabela's run a sale it's very affordable. I have the LCP and P238 and have only had issues with the HPR and Win. train and defend brands. If it works without being to...

    Best ammo for my Sheild 9mm, Hollow Points?

    The SIG 9 mm HP is available for 16.99 at Cabela's. SportsmanGuide.com has been offering plenty of HP,FMJ in 9 mm for great prices. Academy Sports sells ammo online now and have had a great choice too. I rarely buy at walmart since better ammo is available online.

    Model 36 I've got the model 36 from the classic collection and did an Apex spring install on it and my GF who has strength issues with her hands is able to shoot it very well.She is a small woman and usually shoots from about 10 feet. I also have the Wyatt deep cover .38 that shoots very well...

    Real world effectiveness of 642

    CQC I like my model 36 so much that I just got the 637 Gunsmoke with the enhanced trigger since it's lightweight and clips on the waistband or where ever you want. I know that it's more likely to have a close encounter vs. 20 ft. and if my snubby is jammed up against a bad guy at least I might...
