So I am a huge fan of optics on handguns, and have been for years. My shooting group is all irons and I am the only CO person in the mix. I am constantly getting grief for being a "cheating bastard" with his "laser guided, computer aided wonder guns". And I am always winning among my peer...

My EDC is literally my least favorite pistol. Its tiny and plastic, so I don't like shooting it. But it is easily replaced if lost, stolen or confiscated. I am in and out of a lot of schools and colleges for work. Some of them honor concealed weapon permits and some don't allow carry on...

I carry with a dot and I recommend it. I will probably do a "one mans experience carrying with a dot" kind of post this weekend, but the short answer is that with a decent dot for most people, non of the things you think will go wrong will go wrong, and most of the issues are theoretical in...

It mainly only lived in the modern day as a way to make major power factor. Now that major has to start with a 4 I don't think it will be around much. Commercial loadings were already pretty rare for it before it got kicked from competition. I understand some drug cartel shooters like them...

I actually had won an XDE 3.3 in a gun contest a few years back when they first came out (yeah, I have won a total of 3 SA guns, I really should start buying lottery tickets) and I kind of hated the XDE. It was huge for a single stack, being about the same size as a as my CZ75 Compact that I...

I am a fan of progressive presses. When I reload, its usually using a known formula and its just to crank out as many rounds in the shortest amount of time (within safety and normal checks of course) so that I can use my spare time shooting and not loading. I have had both Lee and Hornady...

10mm is my favorite to reload for. I just love how versatile that cartridge is, and enjoy "tuning" loads to their intended purpose.

SMSgtRod makes some good notes. Also the 380 case is 17mm as opposed to 19mm for the 9mm. Even if you have a gun that will hold the 380 case close to the firing pin, like a Glock for example, you will be likely not have enough pressure to run the slide without seriously reducing your recoil...

Plus my phone, which in this case is being used to take the pic. :)

I am a long time Sig used, and while I do rag them about beta testing new products on loyal customers, in the instances I have had a problem they always fix it correctly and quickly. I also agree with you on the 365! I bought one just after Shot show last year and carried it with over 3000...

American Rifleman because it comes with membership, Recoil because they tend to focus on my interests, and American Handgunner and Guns, because I got the 2 year subscription as a gift.

So I know a lot about a pretty wide range of modern guns, but I don't know much at all about the minutia of the M1A. I finally picked one up, serial number 226XXX, and I am trying to decide if its for me. It only came with a 10 round mag, so first questions is are Thermold or Promags any good...

I am a big fan of the Roberts Drill variations. Where you shoot a couple shots two handed, couple shots strong hand and a couple weak hand. We do it on the dueling tree with my shooting group pretty regular. Its a challenging drill when you are shooting right next to someone. Add in a mag...

Depending on my mood it would be either a Dan Wesson Fury Custom 10mm Longslide in high polish blue and case hardened frame: Or a Turnbull VIP Custom longslide with flast trigger, also in 10mm.

I carry a Kershaw Shallot in my pocket if I am in professional dress, or a Benchmade Ascent. On occasion I will have a Cold Steel Safekeeper I or II in my boot or belt/SOB if I am out and about late or in shady parts of town also. In the woods I usually have either a Cold Steel Tanto or Al Mar...

Well, after giving up on Optics Planet ever getting any in stock, I sold my trusty XL and ordered one of the "package" deals. More about my feelings on that below, but for now I will just get into the gun/sight. Whats in the Box: First things first, it DOES NOT come with a rear sight or...

My usual is a Neptune Concealment IWB holster for my 365 XL, either a Nemesis Pocket Holster or a Vedder IWB for the original 365 and Red Hill Tactical for belt carry of either my full size 320 or CZ Bull Shadow. Every once in a blue moon I will drop a Ruger SP101 in my pocket for walks around...

I am always happy to see more reloading info out there on the web. I would be 100% behind this, great idea!

Keep in mind that the full size Shield sight, the SMS and RMS, as well as the Jpoint (they are all the made by the same company out of the UK), are bigger than the Compact (SMSc, RMSc) versions made for the shield and the 365. They are also fragile and kinda suck for the price, which is why its...

Belt carry will always be faster. That said, its not very practical for a lot of dress/professional attire. I usually pocket carry my spare, or have it in my "tatcoolerized" attache/laptop bag. For those of use that carry around a bag of some sort back and forth to the office or from meeting...
