Will Carry

You can hardly go wrong with a Glock 19, XD-9 or M&P. Rent some pistols and find the one that shoots well for you. More importantly, get some instruction. It ain't as easy as it looks to shoot well. Just a few tips can make all the difference. I like a Smith and Wesson J-frame revolver for carry. My concealed carry guns are: Glock 19 (9mm) 16 rds Glock 36 (45acp) 7 0r 8 rds S&W model 36 (38sp.) 5 rds Diamondback DB380 (.380) 7 rds I don't carry extra mags, just extra pistols.

The only advantages I see in buying a pistol caliber carbine over an AR type rifle would be 1) Cheaper ammo 2) You can shoot it at pistol ranges. Of course, I never thought the "Judge" would sell. Who would buy a shotgun with a rifled barrel or a pistol with reduced twist in the rifleing to reduce accuracy? The "Judge" has both! YET The "Judge" has been one of the hottest selling guns ever made. Everyone I have ever talked to who owns a Judge loves them! So what the heck do I know. With the right marketing they could sell well. They need to make a video of a guy getting carjacket by watermelons. (

I have 4 Rugers. 2 Springfields, 2 Glocks, 1 Colt, 1 S&W, 1 Benelli, 1 Daisey and a few others.

It's a little high BUT. I know people who will spend hours looking to save a few dollars on a pistol and then driving for two hours to pick it up. Sometimes it is actually cheaper to pay a little more for the pistol while you are standing in front of it, than to spend all that time and money trying to save a few bucks. I really like my GP-100 4" SS Hogue monogrip. It is my car gun/woods gun. I carry two speed loaders with it. I keep Black Hills 125gr JHPs in it. 625 ft/lbs at the muzzle.

I'll make my stand in Dixieland!

FAKE PHONE NUMBER! Why didn't I think of that! I am such a idiot................. The NRA is one of our strongest allies. I give them money several times a years, but not from telephone calls. My Liberal friends love my NRA shirts and hat.

Get the one that has a pony on it and the letters C-O-L-T. They were the first and make the best for the money.

I got a concealed carry permit so I could buy pistols withour needing a permit. I started carrying after that because............I can.

SNOB: 1) A person regarded as arrogant and annoying 2) A snob is someone who adopts the worldview that some people are inherently inferior to him 3) One who has an offensive air of superiority in matters of knowledge or taste 4) Snobbism is a defensive expression of social insecurity Geese Dave. I think you nailed it.

I would take my business elsewhere if I were treated with disrespect. I respect other people and I demand the same respect. Bersa makes a good, affordable handgun. I am not a Shooting Range Comando, or self proclaimed "expert" but I do know handguns. I cannot understand how these guys at Rangemaster got such an attitude. I can only assume they got it from the owner.

God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the power to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. LOL You are going to love this You already have step one. You admitted you were powerless over our snobbery - that your life had become unmanageable Step 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity Step 3 - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God Step 4 - Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves Step 5 - Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs Step 6 - Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character Step 7 - Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings Step 8 - Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all Step 9 - Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others Step 10 - Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it Step 11 - Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs

Those kids are acting like animals, a pack of wild dogs. They should be treated as such. I had the same thing happened to me when I was a teenager. The only difference is I ran faster than they did. I'm too old to run now but I'm a lot smarter and better prepared. It's all about situational awareness. If you know you are being hunted and can't out run them, "then you gotta get plum maddog mean 'cuase if you give up, you niether win nor live." I would at least tried to pick an advantageous place to make a stand. If I had to pull on them I would have done my best to kill every one of them..............but that's just me. "There is iron in your words of death............."

I bought one a few months ago. I had some problems at first. FTEs and double feeds. I contacted Diamondback and they said I was limp wristing or using cheap ammo. All of a sudden (after 150-200 rounds) it stopped jamming! After ten trips to the range it hasn't jammed once. Limp wristing, no problems. WWB, Remington and Federal Target loads shoot just fine. That's somewhere around 200 rounds without a failure. I have shot Kel-tecs, LCPs and Sig 380s and this little Diamondback shoots better than any of them (Though I really like the Sigs!). It's seems like every manufacturer of these little pocket rockets have had problems when they first came out. KelTec, LCP and even the new Smith and Wesson Bodyguard have had teething problems. Diamondback's reputation was very bad at one time but I think they are slowly gaining some respect. They are working on a pocket 9mm. I carry my DB380 with CorBon Powerball ammo. It's a summer carry gun of a BUG in cooler weather.

Man shot by 3-legged dog? | abc11.com This is the type of clabber that the local anti-gun TV station shows on the nightly news. They want people to believe that a gun is so dangerous and unpredictable that it's likely to go off at any time. I am trying to figure out which 32 pistol will go off like that. My first thought was that this guy is lying like a dog. Do you guys know what kind of 32 pistol will go off if dropped? I do not own a pistol that will discharge if dropped. There is no such thing as an accidental discharge, only negligence.

Vicious dog, Glock 36 w/CT laser guard with a XDm-40 as a back up and a Chief's Special in case my wife wants to shoot too. All my other pistols, shotguns and rifles are locked up. I don't own any tactical shotguns and the barrels of mine are very long and unwieldy in close quarters.

If the price was good it might be OK. I know people who own Taurus 44 magnums and love them. I used to own a model 85 UL. It is the only revolver I have ever owned that wood jam or fail to lock up. The center pin on the cylinder would get stuck "in" and would not pop out to lock against the frame, making the pistol useless. I could not trust it enough to carry or use for self defense. I sold it and bought a used S&W model 36, made in 1977. This revolver is a masterpiece. It's cylinder is tighter after 30 sum years than my Taurus was out of the box.

I have a 9mm carbine model 995. It is a hoot to shoot. From the first round it has never failed to fire. I would have to say that a Hi-Point is an affordable handgun for those that need one but don't have a lot of money. Poor people need protection too.

Kel Tec CNC I want this gun in 20 gauge.

Smith and Wesson makes some great .357 magnums. The 686, 627 and my favorite the model 27 are just a few of the Smith and Wesson offerings. If you have a lot of money the M627 8 round is the ultimate .357. But if you are like me and on a budget....Ruger GP-100. It's the poor man's Smith and Wesson. Every bit as rugged as the Smith and maybe even more so. After S&W and Ruger you are taking a big step down in quality. I couldn't recommend any of them though they may be just fine. I am not including Colt Pythons. They are not made any more and the prices have gone up a lot. Colt and Smith and Wesson were at one time competing agianst each other for the best .357 revolvers. Colt's had a few more parts than the Smiths and it cost more money to manufacture them so Colt gave up and left Smith and Wesson the king of the wheel guns. The only Colt revolvers made now are the over priced single action cowboy guns. With no transfer bar....

Gatco: Sharpeners This is the kind of set up I have used for 20 years. It will give your knife a sharp strong clean edge and it requires little skill.

I am an Orion, the hunter. I like Orion. He's hunting Taurus the Bull who is chasing the seven sisters of the Pleades. A group of scientist got together for the Nobel commitee. They determined the the relative positions of celestial objects had absolutely no bearing on human society or predicting the future. DUUUUHHHH!

I have been looking at El Paso Saddlery. I want a holster and a cartridge belt. Lined or unlined? They do that? That's what I mean. I don't know diddly about gun leather. Even though I will probably wear it mostly around the house in my underwear, I want a good quality rig that will do the Bisley justice.

I have a Ruger Bisley Vaquero .357 and I'm trying to find a western rig on-line. There are dozens of web sites that sell western leather rigs. I don't want anything fancy, just a good quality plain holster and belt. I don't want to spend more than $200-250. If any of you guys have any advice I would be greatful.

I may buy a Sub2000 if I get on a carbine kick. I choose the Hi-Point becuase I could mount my red dot scope on it. My eyes ain't what they used to be and open sights are kind of blurry. I have always used open sights even one my 30.06. The open sights on the Hi-Point are similar to the AR-15 style open sights, which I don't particularly like. I wanted a pistol caliber carbine so I could shoot a rifle at my indoor range. I live in a suburban jungle and don't get shoot outdoors much. It's hard being a country boy in the big city, but that's where the money is, I recon. My family still lives in rural Alabama. They don't make much money but they don't need much money.

I finally got a chance to shoot my Christmas present from my kids. A Hi-Point model 995 9mm carbine with a laser sight and a compensator. I did not know what to expect from a $250 gun but I was surprised to find that this little thing is great fun. Right out of the box (I did run a brush through the barrel) it never failed once in 100 rounds of WWB target loads (Winchester White Box). I adjusted the laser first, at 25 yards, then I used the red dot to adjust the open sights. 25 yards is supposed to be the same as 100 yards for sight adjustment. I understand that Hi-Point is working on a 20 round magazine, which I will purchase asap. It comes with only one 9 round magazine, which is kind of lame but what do you expect? My wife thought it was an AK47 LOL! But I have heard these little rifles referred to as American AKs. I wouldn't go that far, but it is a lot of fun for the money.
