    Reloading cost vs. factory bought, handgun and rifle

    You can still find OK range ammo and the price will eventually go back down. Since I don't reload 9mm I recently bought a 1000 round case from Natchez of Blazer 115 gr which I consider good range ammo for $247. 8 weeks ago it was $177. Unless you are going to shoot a lot it is not really IMO...

    Reloading cost vs. factory bought, handgun and rifle

    I only reload handgun cartridge's but find that reloading .40's and .45's saves money but the cost of 9mm is so close to the cost of reloading not worth it for me. I usually figure my cost for a box of 50 and for me $8-$9 for .40 / .45 is about right. I can usually purchase 9mm for around $9...

    Best Concealed Carry Holsters

    Another plus for T&T Gunleather which I use a lot their Mike's Special is a Milt Sparks VMII clone with IMO a belter cant, that sits a little lower, and is a little lighter. I also just got a Versa Carry for my Sig P365 and I really like it.

    What do you currently use for EDC

    I updated to another H&K, a VP9. 17+1 9mm. The reason for buying was mainly that it is optic ready although I am not sure I really want an optic but now I am ready. The gun shoots great although I am used to a hammer on my H&K's.

    Newbie. I WON!

    My favorite holster maker is T&T Gunleather. I use their Mike's Special which is basically a Milt Sparks VMII Clone that is a little thinner with IMO a better cant.

    Modifications

    There are also a lot of different solutions. My local gunsmith took my stock S&W 686+1 Revolver (.357 Mag) and just by replacing some springs and stoning some stuff the trigger is now a lot better. My old Sig P226 with over 25,000 rounds had an action job and SRT from Sig that made a great...

    My XDm Elite review.

    I have a Sig P365 for small carry but prefer a larger gun most of the time. I can comfortably carry a H&K VP9 17+1 9mm or H&K P30 13 +1 .40 both fairly large. My problem with the Elite as stated was that it appears that the mag really sticks out. I also have a CZ Phantom 18+1 that does not stick...

    My XDm Elite review.

    Seems like a nice gun. My only concern, and I have not handled it, is that the grip seems awful long. Sure you get a lot of rounds but how about concealment?

    9mm — Is it great or does it suck?

    I carry all different calibers. If your shot placement is good the caliber does not matter. My 9mm's go from a Sig P365, H&K P30sk, H&K VP9, Kimber Stainless Target, CZ Phantom, and Kimber Aegis Pro on order. I shot more .40 and .45 when competing (Major as opposed to minor) so I carried them...

    Hellcat: Best Micro 9mm?

    I will stick with my P365. While I agree the Hellcat looks better I think the Sig shoots better. The trigger on the Sig is also IMO better. There are currently more options for the Sig although I am happy stock except for finger extensions for the 10 round mags.

    Selecting a Personal Defense Handgun: Size & Fit

    Like the Hellcat I like my Sig P365 but I still prefer a larger handgun and one of several H&K's usually fit that bill. Lately a VP9 but probably the most comfortable is my P30sk.

    XD-M Elite 3.8: Best EDC 9mm?

    Robar: You actually asked the question on a gun forum, "How many guns does a guy need?" There are some forums that might ban you for that question. I will tell a story of a friend when moving from VA. to SC and loading the moving van. His wife looked on in shock and asked, "DAMN, YOU HAVE TWO...

    Ahmaud Arbery Shooting

    First of all this was a terrible crime committed by idiots no matter how you look at it. Now I live in SC and one of my friends and guy I shoot with is also a home builder. He called the cops to say he was getting robbed at his warehouse and building sites and wanted to know his rights to...

    Saint Edge 5.56 pistol ?

    Yes, mine is the Edge model. I picked it up on Grab A Gun for $750 plus only $8 shipping. It is a blast to shoot and not as loud as you might think. The price has gone up some since.

    Saint Edge 5.56 pistol ?

    Mine is nickel coated but does not have an adjustable brace.

    I think it depends on your trigger. Suppose you get stuck with the famous Glock NY Trigger which is 12lbs? One of the reasons, unlike TV, NYPD's hit rate is under 20%. I am also not worried that someone will notice I put in an Apex trigger to go from 7-8lbs to 4lbs and make a big deal about it...

    Poss mag problem?

    I have to agree about the cycling that is the only way to make things easier. Also I bought an Uplula when I bought my Sig P365 after breaking 2 cheap loaders. You can't convince me Sig doesn't have stock in Uplula after designing that mag. Anyway I started using the Uplula a lot. It makes life...

    XD-M Elite 3.8: Best EDC 9mm?

    Interesting gun and I preface this by saying I am an H&K fan but their updated VP9 with a more concealable grip, options to change the grip, and OSP ready I think is a better choice even though it is "only" 17 round mag capable. Plus you can argue all you want but when discussing the polymer...

    CZ Scorpion pistol or PC Charger

    You also need to stay away from putting on a forward grip then you will get classified as a SBR and run into trouble.

    CZ-USA: The Best 9mm Service Pistol?

    I'm not so patiently waiting for my VP9. It should be here next week. Hard to find. I had to buy a compliant 10 round version but found the 17 round mags on Grab A Gun and since I always order extra mags I can live with two 10 rounders and 3 17 rounders.
