ouch... Well, you have backup you can bank on... and that's a good thing.

I own three high-end big dollar target rifles. I was shopping for another but everyone was giving a one year lead time for delivery. So, with money burning a hole in my pocket, I took a chance and bought a 2020 Waypoint 6.5 creedmoor. I was not disappointed in its performance. It shoot as...

I believe I fit in that category... My wife has a concealed-carry purse. She does not often carry, except when I am with her and put a firearm in it. Granted, it's for me to protect her/us, but I have no doubt that she would come through in a pinch. Concealed carry is a mindset that many women...

I own a couple of pre-lock S&W. I haven't bought a SW since precisely because they capitulated to the gun control crowd. I don't think their actions are a smooth as they were back then either. They seem to have a heavy pull, which could be part of their liability avoidance policy. As far as...

Well, my wife and daughter will tell you they feel like Howitzer to them. I can shoot straight enough with them but I don't find them enjoyable to shoot. My son owns one of the HK .45s and he tells me they are not bad at all. I have not shot that one yet... afraid to, hehehehe...

I see a "thumb rest" aftermarket has sprung up to accommodate the "modern" grip. You can buy third party add-on to add the thumb rest to many handguns now.

yup... seems to be the up and coming thing. I maybe too old of a dog to learn that trick however. I think it helps a lot with the light plastic guns. My son uses that grip and now out shoot his dad. But, it just does not feel natural to me.

yeah... sorry about that.

yeah, I did not catch on to this until my son brought it to my attention. Then you start watching and noticing... It's around and if you spend anytime on Youtube you will see this a lot.

actually, the military and a lot of police forces (in most nations) are now teaching the "Modern" grip. It has become the de-facto standard and has now made its way into civilian training.

yes, I grabbed those from the web to illustrate the holds.

The "Modern" grip (left image) is being taught in most places now. It has superseded the old grip. I don't find it to be a natural grip and I too use the old style. Maybe that's my problem.

ModerGrip.jpg... off hand is forward, under the trigger guard and along the slide. This grip was designed specifically for better control of light pistols. Some manufactures are even building in a thumb rest on the frame forward of the trigger guard. OldGrip.jpg... this is the old tried and...

Well, I know this is a bit off-topic here, but... I am glad you like these. My son has no problem with them either. Yes, the Glock changed handling characteristics after each shot, and yes, that FN trigger cut my finger. There is a whole new school of thinking and discipline that has come out of...

I own exactly 0 (zero) plastic guns. I am 100% onboard with you on this. They are recoil nightmares. If you practice a lot with them, learn the new hold and techniques you could do ok... my son does. But they are not fun or easy to shoot (well) with. When Glock came out with the first .45 a...

I have several old guns that I inherited. From my dad, a customized JC Higgins 30-06 that dates to the mid 60's (genuine Swedish Mauser action). A smith worked it over from the ground up and it is a tack driving rifle. From my grandfather, I inherited a Smith & Wesson model 1905 in 38 special...

An incredible walk through history. From a time when America could rise to the occasion and do incredible things for both nation and the world.

My uncle enlisted at age 30. They felt him too old to keep up with the younger troops and assigned him to the motor pool. He was sent to England and at D-Day +10 sent him to France. The others in his outfit called him “Pops” because he was the oldest. When the Battle of the Bulge broke out they...

Guess I should spell "Klein" correctly. Sheesh....silly me.

While most of my back packing days are over (my old bones won't take it any longer) I still buy knives, and I really love the newer steels. My two favorite knives are from zero tolerance (img. K2). The 006 is made from CPM 3V and the pocket knife (Sinkevich) is S35VN. I have not used the 006 yet...
