In summer if only wearing a T-shirt, I tend to carry my LCP in a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster in my pocket. If I am also wearing my usual untucked fishing shirt, I'll consider wearing the 9mm either OWB or IWB. It really depends on how hot and sweaty I expect to get, and weather I feel like...

I can't imagine sleeping with a gun in hand, but can understand being in that state after what you went through in wartime. I have my EDC's in a drawer in my nightstand, with the simplex lock pressed, ready for me to turn to the right and open the safe. I keep a tactical flashlight on the...

I think the trick in exercising out of state carry privileges in NH for someone like me (Alabama) would be getting there! There is a band of red states on the USCCA CCW reciprocity map that would prevent me from driving into NH with a weapon in my car in all likelihood.

I too chose not to renew my NRA membership, which expired this month, and am only contributing to the GOA for the moment. I still take action when I see an NRA-ILA alert relating to legislation, but I've not been happy with the NRA since the fiasco surrounding the departure of Lt. Col. Oliver...

I have the original XD-M Compact 3.8", and carry it IWB using a Crossbreed Supertuck, or OWB using a Crossbreed Snapslide. It's more concealable than you might think, and the same applies to the new XD-M Elite Compact. At the range, or in my nightstand, I tend to keep a 19 round mag in it...

Having carried an LCP for 10 years, it is most definitely not a fun gun to shoot. That isn't its purpose however. It's purpose is concealment in the smallest possible package, either as a backup, or EDC when you just simply can't carry anything else. The best thing to do with an LCP is practice...

Not much out there that will be nearly as small as your LCP. I've had mine for 10 years, and while its not the most fun gun to shoot, its certainly easy to carry and conceal. Why replace it, unless you are wanting something more than .380acp ammo? If I were looking at 9mm, I would personally...

I really like the concept of this pistol with the red dot. My EDC, currently on my hip, is the original XD-M Compact in 9mm. The biggest issue facing a version of that with a red dot installed is finding a holster I imagine. I did know, from having a XD-M 5.25, that the same holsters pretty...

Wow! Glad you were able to fix it! I am thinking I've not actually removed the takedown lever from any of my XD-M's, so thankfully I've not had this issue. I'll be wary of it if I do remove the takedown lever.

The 4.5" OSP has always had that same setup - look at this picture: And the older XD-M (not Elite) OSP:

Mmmm. This particular daughter is now 28, married, and both her and her husband being engineers, has more disposable income than I do, sadly. She is on her own in this area! If I buy an SR22, it will be for my wife at this point. Now, the 23 year old daughter, one of her last two Christmases...

The only time I leave a weapon in my *LOCKED* vehicle is if I have to park and go inside some place that I cannot carry - the court house for example. Its locked up inside a locked up car though. I would never leave it in my own driveway overnight, locked or unlocked. Heck, some teenagers...

I've heard and repeated that mantra myself for decades. Then, looking at my own 22LR experience with a Ruger Mark II, I've probably put something like 10,000 rounds through that pistol since 1990, either with paper targets or outdoors plinking at cans on a fence or something. I recently had my...

Hans no mine was not Elite or OSP. Yesterday I didn't see that link at PSA showing it as an OSP model either. I paid around $450 for the standard XDM Compact in mid 2019. I had paid just over $500 for my XDM 5.25 a year earlier, as it was on clearance for some reason at the local Academy...

@BryMo My carry, as shown in my avatar, is the original XDM 3.8" Compact (9mm) - I highly recommend that Elite 3.8" Compact if you can find it. I do NOT like the price point of that one @StillLearning found at PSA is over $200 more than I paid in 2019 for the original XDM Compact. Everything is...

I feel your pain. My two builds are based on 80% lowers. That was not a cost or time saving thing in these days of $90-100 80% lowers. Tooling and jigs are not cheap, and it takes an hour or so to mill and drill a lower. Probably 2 hours the first time you do it. A cheap Anderson lower from the...

I have a brother in law like that too - and a son in law unfortunately. My other son in law and brother in laws make up for it thankfully!

We spent most of the last calendar year dealing with my wife having colon cancer, and going straight from surgery to 6 months of chemo, and then a final surgery just 3 weeks ago. And during that same time, our youngest got married, got pregnant, and had a baby. So our family has been super...

Good to know. Here's the upper I am using for my rifle build - it was $359 when they had it in stock: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-m4-nitride-1-7-moe-blk-freedom-upper-with-bcg-ch-508045.html

Bassbob thanks for this timely thread. I'm completing two AR-15 builds, and while one will be a full size, using a PSA upper that I already have (all Magpul MOE for upper and lower parts), I want to go with a pistol build on the second, and you've given me some parts to look at. I've got the...
