Will Carry

Dove hunting is about as much fun as you can have with a shotgun. I used to pretend I was at Pearl Harbor and the doves were jap planes. An over and under 20 will do just fine. You can make a plug for a shotgun out of a number two pencil. If you decide to get another shotgun.

I know a lot of shooters who use the 185gr 45acp round. It moves faster than the 230gr 45acp standard pressure round. One great thing about the 45acp. If it doesn't expand it still works well. I use the 45acp as my primary defense weapon for carry and home protection. There are a lot of expansion tests on the internet Mouseguns.com and Chuck Hawks would be a good place to start. The tests don't mean Jack, but they are interesting. I don't use 185gr rounds. I like 230gr JHPs. The bad guys will not know the difference, i know I don't.

Are you kidding me. I read an article from an English paper where they were talking about banning knives because of all the knife violence in the British Isles. The British are subjects. American's are citizens.

Note to self..............check the dates on a thread.............DOH! If I had to sell a pistol it would be my Glock 36. I carry it all the time. I have a Crimson Trace laser guard on it, dialed in at 15 yards. It is a trouble free, reliable, hard hitting, concealable and accurate pistol. I don't know why but it's my least favorite pistol to shoot.

I carry a Smith and Wesson model 36 Chiefs Special as a BUG too! Or a Diamondback DB380 in hot weather. These pistols are either my primary carry or my back up guns. I love my "Old School" model 36. It's the quickest gun I own to get off a first shot on target.

I carry a Glock 36. It has the personality of a brick. If I trade it, I will not get another Glock. Don't get me wrong. The reason I carry a G-36 is that it's reliable, slim and it will fire 7 or 8 (+1 extension) rounds of 45acp 230gr JHPs. It's just that I've had my eyes on this Colt Defender....... If you want capacity go with the 40 S&W. I just like 45s.

Once a month or so. I have so many it's hard to get a lot of range time on just one. I shoot 18 rounds through my 380 pocket pistol every trip to the range. Just to make sure.....

Well bless her heart!

I wish I did live in Tennessee! Great state! Good people. I go back to Tennessee every year to visit but the Research Triangle Park is where the money is for me. It's suburban hell. I have to shoot INDOORS! I hate big cities. I took my wife to San Fransico and I just about feaked out. Could not get out of there soon enough.

I pocket carry all the time too. Either as a back up gun or as a primary carry. My favorite pocket gun is my Smith and Wesson model 36 but my Diamondback DB380 is the one I carry most. It's smaller and lighter.

There are areas in Durhan North Carolina where open carry laws are vague and up to the discretion of the cops. They could arrest you for "Going in terror of the public." Then they could take your Concealed Carry permit. You could probably talk to the D.A. and get the charges dropped or maybe not. My advice is, if your gonna open carry. Open carry. If your gonna carry concealed, make sure it's concealed. That is just my humble opinion. I could care less what you do, but LEOs do not have a sense of humor. They will taze your ass............

Printing is not concealed. If someone sees your gun printed on your clothes and they want to, they can report you to the local LEO and you can get into big trouble. So you do not want to print. I used to worry about this a lot. Not so much any more. My concealed carry guns keep getting bigger and I care less about printing. I'm packing a Colt Government 1911 this fall. As long as it isn't obvious and I'm not acting crazy people just don't notice. Notice how a changed my stance halfway through this post.

Even with both eyes open, you still got to pick one eye to look down the sights. I ain't no rocket scientist but I figured that out purdy quick.

I rest my case.

I was able to shoot my new Bisley Vaquero today. It's very accurate (I was worried about that), it's comfortable to shoot and it's so heavy that the .357 loads were a breeze. I was able to aim it well even with my blurry up close vision. That polished stainless front blade sight stands out pretty well. I shot a box of 38 special and nearly a box of .357 through it. There were two young fellers in the stall next to me shooting Glocks. They looked like they were safety conscious so I asked them if they'd like to shoot it. They did not know how to load it, unload it or that it was single action. But I think they got a kick out of shooting it. I know I did. I think I'll name it "Honey". My 1911 is named "Thumper". My GP-100 is named "Hammer." My DB380 is named "Jammer". Ain't America great! If you want to see a picture of it. It looks just like this'un here.

My left eye focuses a lot better than my right but I shoot with my right hand dominant, I was wondering if anyone else has that problem and what they have done about it.

It's polished stainless, 5.5" barrel, imitation ivory grips, Western style fixed blade front site with a grooved back site, in .357 caliber. The Bisley package gives it a hammer with a lowered spur that makes it much easier to operate. You don't have to reach up with your thumb to cock the hammer. It has a wider trigger and the classic Bisley grip angle, developed in Bisley England for target shooting. It supposedly weights 45oz I haven't wieghted it yet but it is clearly the heaviest pistol I own. No wonder cowboys road horses. This thing would be like carrying an anvil on your hip. I guess I should actually shoot this pistol before I review it but that won't be for a couple of weeks. I was suprised how well these old western style sites line up. Hopefully they will be accurate enough for some good plinking.

A Ruger Single Six revolver or a Ruger Mark III semi-automatic are hard to beat.

I can't seem to find a clearly defined law against it but the sign on the door of my liqour store is hard to miss and there is usually a sheriff's deputy in there. I have never had any problems but Durham has wierd gun laws.

The sign applies to permit holders, according to my concealed carry instructor. However, my little pocket pistol is undetectable. I carry it jest about everywhere except schools, government buildings, airports, places with metal detectors. When I go out to eat, even if the place serves liqour, I'll be carrying. "I don't look for trouble, but when I find myself in it. It's nice to know, that I can blow, 300 rounds a minute."

I wera a fishing vest to conceal my IWB holster. It's light weight and cooler. I have a 5.11 concealed carry vest too. The 5.11 is heavy and looks like a concealed carry vest.

I North Carolina you can't carry in a liquor store. Our liqour stores are socialized and controled by the ABC board. They have been found to be very corrupt. Maybe one day we'll abolish the ABC board and privatize liqour sales.

I have a Single Six in SS 6.5 inch barrel in 22LR and another in blue with a 9.5 inch barrel in 22LR/22M. I am in the market for a Blackhawk in .357. I'm a big fan of single action revolvers.
