Since both of my XDs's had to make a trip back to the Armory, I decided to carry my Springfield Mil-Spec 1911 today in a Don Hume IWB leather holster. Several observations: 1. Wow... this thing is heavier than what I normally carry. 2. Wow... it's not nearly as heavy as I thought it would be...

I just had to clear jammed brass from my XDs 9mm. Was shooting Freedom Munitions remanufactured 115gr ammunition. Round didn't fully chamber, and the extractor engaged, so the slide was jammed. I managed to open it, and forced it to fully seat. I fired it, and of course, the brass wouldn't...

Picked up two Springfield XDs's this week... 45ACP and 9mm. Shot both today for the first time. Must say, didn't expect the recoil to be so mild... for both of them. Went through three mags each of Federal HST: 230gr (+P) for the 45ACP and 124gr (+P) for the 9mm. Smooth cycling, soft recoil, and...

I like my XDm's... both are 3.8" compacts, one in .45ACP and one in 9mm. I shoot both fairly well. I carry +P HST ammo in both, and both are comfortable and manageable in my hands. These have been my carry firearms (easy because my Old Faithful IWB works for both). Until today. Shot my newly...

Looking for a SERPA belt loop. Many of their holsters come with both paddle and loop options, but mine only came with the paddle. Finding these is proving difficult and/frustrating as most places are backordered, or shipping costs make the pricing ridiculous. Figured I'd try our little community...

A follow-up poll... again, please answer honestly. Obviously, in an emergency, you probably won't be given the choice.

I am a physician working for a large healthcare group in my state. I, like many of you, are disarmed at the doors to my hospital and clinic. I am trying to gather data to present for the consideration of a policy change. I do not wish to go unprotected during my day's work, and feel that my...

Kind of a long read, and trails off about midway through (essentially a run-on forum thread on one page). Nevertheless, I found his insight intriguing, and will continue to carry .45 ACP as my CCW caliber of choice. Terminal ballistics as viewed in a morgue

I can't find a thread dealing with this, and all the talk in the "chambered or not" thread got me thinking... I carry with one in the chamber (feel safe doing so), and mostly in an IWB Old Faithful hip holster. I do sometimes carry in an OWB Blackhawk Serpa Level II retention holster, which is...

Beretta To Gun Grabbers: Enact Such Measures At Your Own Risk : Freedom Outpost “I think they thought we were bluffing... But Berettas don’t bluff.”

Magpul is based in CO, where the dem-controlled House just held an initial count and appears to have enough support to pass their anti-2A measures. Official count not until next week. Come to Wisconsin! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/16/colorado-gun-bill-could-cost-state-hundreds-jobs/

Interesting development... Walmart.com now no longer has ammunition in their search results. Used to be that you could check stock, and even elect to receive an email when whatever you were looking for was logged into the store's inventory. A salesman told me yesterday that ammo is seemingly...

Well-spoken, rational, and completely gained some respect. The dumba$$ mayor in that city needs to put his money where his mouth is, but he is a liberal, after all. Wish Sheriff Clarke's sentiments were shared by others across our state. I wrote him a personal letter and CC'd it to my county's...

Sorry if this is a repost, but I find it one of the best explanations and rationalizations of firearms ownership and carry. “The Gun is Civilization” by Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret) Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for...

To those who have CCW experience... IF (I know some go out of their way not to) you patronize businesses or locations which do not allow you to exercise your right on their private grounds, how do you leave your firearm in your vehicle? Do you keep a secure means in your vehicle to prevent...

I apologize for being bit new to this, but I have made a couple firearm purchases recently, and one dealer gave me my N.I.C.S. number and instructed me to keep it safe. The other did not. Couple of questions: 1. Do you get a different number each time they run a background check? 2. Is the...

I want to post a proper apology. It's been tearing me up a little on the inside, but someone else had a twinkle in their eye for my new toy, and I just happened to wander into the right place at the right time yesterday. Never have I been so glad that my wife asked me to run an errand. She...

Unfortunately, like most of the commenters, I feel this will just get swept under the rug. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/12/25/D-C-Police-Investigating-NBC-s-Gregory-For-Violations-of-Gun-Banning-Laws#disqus_thread
