    Help Deciding on a Purchase

    Yeah, that‘s crazy. Just looked it up at my local Academy Sports. $789 for the Hellcat with the Shield SMSc. They’re charging almost double out there in CA. What a ripoff…

    Help Deciding on a Purchase

    I bought a Wasp the day after they became available. 1st battery lasted 1.5 years. That wasn’t sitting in a closet, but the Hellcat was my primary carry gun. 2nd battery is over a year and still going strong. But something happened apparently after that 1st run that turned the Wasp into what...

    Consealed VS Open Carry & Constitutional Carry

    I have a Carry Permit here in Georgia. I’m on my 4th due to the requirement to reapply every 5 years. Never had to take a training class. We now have Constitutional Carry. I choose to continue to get me Carry Permit. This is for 2 reasons. One is out of state travel and reciprocity. The other is...

    Guns and Travel: Can I Take My Gun on a Road Trip?

    FYI, there is no training requirement in GA to get a concealed carry permit. They basically just take your fingerprints, run a BGC on you and if you pass, you get your permit. No reason needed, no training required. We also just got Constitutional Carry. But like I said earlier, I still keep my...

    Guns and Travel: Can I Take My Gun on a Road Trip?

    My state has constitutional carry. I still got my carry permit renewed partially for the above reason and partly because when you purchase a firearm here, the carry permit serves as the background check. Makes the whole process go MUCH easier.

    Homeowner shoots intruder, and he responds, 'You're gonna have to kill me.' So homeowner shoots him again, police say.

    Here’s an update. The intruder was wanted in Ohio for the stabbing murder of a 77 year old man. The police arrived at about the same time as the homeowner took the 2nd shot and they still had to wrestle with the guy to bring him in...

    FBI misleads Americans

    No big surprise about the FBI, but the actual numbers are very encouraging. https://dailycaller.com/2023/08/31/fbi-armed-citizens-active-shooters-gun-violence-john-lott/

    New HVAC Installed

    I feel your pain brother. Just had a new unit installed in our house a few weeks ago. Sure doesn’t do the wallet a lot of good…

    Trigger replacement options for the Hellcat?

    I second this. I got the MCarbo as well and am pleased. It’s adjustable and takes away pretty much all the creep. I just got the trigger, but you can get the whole mechanism including springs and striker if you want. I wasn’t TOO displeased with my Hellcat trigger other than the trigger safety...

    To dot, or not to dot, that is the question.

    I need reading glasses, so plain iron sights are tough for me to get a focus on. If I do, I’m focusing on the sights and not the target. I like the RDS I have on my Hellcat. I do carry a SA 911 in 380 at times with no RDS. I can work with it, but for me, I like the RDS better. It just takes a...

    Concealed Carry Corner: What To Do Around Police

    It's a requirement in Texas to present your CHL to an officer? Whether or not you are carrying? That seems pretty extreme.

    Concealed Carry Corner: What To Do Around Police

    I live in Georgia and there is no duty to inform. I have a lead foot and have been pulled over more than a couple times since having a carry permit. I have never informed and never been asked if I have a weapon. The only time I’d say something is if I was asked or if I had to retrieve something...

    Circuit Court temporarily blocks regulations on pistol braces.

    I don't watch a lot of Fox news anymore. Maybe The Five for a few minutes if I'm home, Bret Baier is fairly balanced and Gutfeld for the humor. There are many ways, some bigger than others, that they propagate naratives that just aren't accurate. Anything said on the news really needs to be...

    Saint Victor Threaded Barrel

    I don't know for 100% sure, but most pistol caliber barrels are threaded for 1/2x28. I would imagine the SV 9mm would be that.

    Why People Hate the 1911 (and Why They’re Wrong)

    Sheesh. A little testy? I know it’s hard to get in. Thought I’d offer a little advice. May be good advice for someone else.

    Why People Hate the 1911 (and Why They’re Wrong)

    If you rack the slide back with the slide stop catching, you can access that hole pretty easily. The bend in the paper clip has to be the right length to fit in between the rod and the frame. You can insert it into hole, then release the slide. That will capture the recoil spring. Then what I’ve...
