    Opinel?

    I recently purchased a Grand Way folding knife with a spring assisted opening. It costs $15.00 on Amazon, and I was surprised at the quality of the product. The spring assist really works well. You just have to hit a little lever and the blade comes flying open and locks in the open position...

    Do you enjoy shooting your edc weapon?

    My choice for edc is a personal compromise. I love shooting my Glock models 17 (9mm) and 21 (.45 ACP) but they are a little big & heavy for every day carry. My edc is a Ruger LCR in .38 spl. I have Crimson Trace hand grips on the gun and that makes it a fun experience to shoot. Sent from my...

    Why do people carry guns?

    I carry to protect myself and my loved ones. About three years ago, my wife was viciously attacked by a knife wielding nut case. She suffered extensive cuts and stab wounds that left her requiring 3 units of blood and a large number of stitches. She suffered from PTSD because of the incident...

    A change in my decision

    I am the originator of this post and I have enjoyed reading the responses to my Glock 21 purchase. I never implied that semi-autos were better than revolvers, and I certainly never said Glocks were higher quality than a S&W. I only said I bought the G21 to save a little money and to have a...

    A change in my decision

    I have an uplula for my G17 and it handles both .45 ACP and 9mm. You are right. It is an essential part of my shooting goodies. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    A change in my decision

    I appreciate the sentiments expressed by all you revolver guys because the S&W 627 is a beautiful piece of work. I am not saying the Glock 21 is a better weapon, I'm just saying that for me, the Glock quality is sufficient and I saved a bunch of money. Having said that I might add that I may...

    A change in my decision

    For the longest time, I had decided to buy a S&W model 627. As I saved my money, however, I considered the huge price tag on the 627 and decided to buy a different gun. I wanted a good stopping round like the .357 mag but I wanted less recoil. That lead to a decision to buy a brand new Gen 4...

    Whats your latest purchase? "guns/accessories"

    I finally saved enough money and got my wife's approval to buy a brand new Gen 4 Glock 21. I am really excited about it and can't wait to schedule a trip to the shooting range. My last .45 was the 1911 I shot and qualified with in the Marine Corps (more years ago than I care to remember). Sent...

    Decision finally made

    I was in the Marine Corps and qualified as expert with a 1911 so I'm pretty familiar with a .45. The G21 is not quite as hefty as a 1911 and my holster is a light weight Concealment Express iwb kydex. I'm really excited about this rig. I currently carry a G17 and do not mind the extra weight...

    Decision finally made

    I did not give up the G17. I really like it. I have always wanted a .45 and the G21 will simply increase my arsenal. For my concealed carry, I use a Ruger LCR in .38 special caliber. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Decision finally made

    I got an iwb kydex holster from concealment express and I think it's going to be a good choice. I may get one for my G17 too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Decision finally made

    Lately, I have been wanting a more potent round than the 9mm in my Glock 17 affords. I've had the G17 for about two years and I really enjoy shooting it, but I wanted something bigger. I considered getting a S&W .357 or a Ruger .357, but I finally decided to stay with a Glock. After considering...

    Used vs New Smiths

    Thanks again for your response. I used to own a Dan Wesson revolver with a 6 inch barrel and it handled recoil like a dream. That was also my complaint; it was so big it was not too convenient to carry around. That 686+ with a 4 inch sounds good to me. The weight sounds good also. Sent from my...

    Used vs New Smiths

    Thanks a lot for the info. I suppose your right about carrying a cylinder for 7 instead of 8, but I was kind of thinking that the 8 shot cylinder would give a little extra heft for recoil dampening. Does the 7 shot 686+ come with a 4 inch barrel or is it a snubby only? Sent from my iPad using...

    Used vs New Smiths

    I've owned .357 revolvers by Taurus and Dan Wesson but am looking for a stainless Smith with a 4 inch barrel. I am not familiar with the new models but I figure you folks do. I want an eight shot model. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
