Maybe I'm getting old and cynical, but I never really believed that gun companies gave discounts to cops, vets, and armed security professionals strictly as an expression of gratitude. I assumed that, like all companies, gun manufacturers were interested in selling their product. Gun companies...

The Glock 17 is a fine pistol. I personally carried one as my duty weapon for years. I agree with other posters that a shooter's love or hatred of Glock is purely subjective. What I have noticed is that many shooters who swear that the Glock 17 is the best full-sized gun have never owned or...

I'm not surprised to see MSNBC, CNN, and the other usual suspects ignoring recent cases of both School Resource Officers and legally-armed citizens effectively protecting school children. What I don't understand is why supposedly conservative news sources are also failing or refusing to cover...

My sentiments exactly. There are a lot of Ruger products that I really enjoy carrying or shooting (GP100, LCP Max, SR22, Mini 14, 10/22). I picked up an LCR in .22LR a few years back for cheap plinking. As much as I wanted to like that gun, I just couldn't get past the grip. It somehow...

The local Fox affiliate did a follow-up which identified the suspect. The suspect had multiple priory felony convictions for drug offenses and Intoxication Manslaughter, but was surprisingly still able to get a gun. I doubt that the national media will do a follow-up now that this info has...

A gunman entered a school which was hosting a Summer Camp in Duncanville, TX (just outside Dallas) yesterday. An armed camp employee exchanged gunfire with the suspect, who then tried to enter a classroom filled with kids. The suspect was shot and killed by police officers, who arrived on the...

This proposal proves that many Democrats don't fear AR-15's, they fear "poor" or "common" people with AR-15's. I'm surprised that 36 Democrats in the House were willing to out themselves as hardcore elitists. They usually at least try to pretend that they are concerned about poor and working...

I know that Gary has had some rough years, and is by no means what I would call a "safe" city, but recent stats (since 2015) appear to show Gary to be safer than Chicago in overall crime rate and murder rate. It looks like St. Louis has been the clear leader for the past few years, with...

I've always found it amusing when Mayor Lightfoot blames all of the crime in Chicago on guns that are brought into the city from neighboring states like Indiana. Oddly, she can't explain why these same guns never shot or killed anyone while they were in Indiana. She also fails to explain why...

IWB in a kydex holster. I carry the 365 with the 12 round magazine. This makes the grip of the gun very angular, and the point at the end of the grip/magazine prints noticeably. I have the same issue with the Hellcat. When I carry guns like the Springfield XDS or S&W Shield Plus, the...

Nobody who values the Constitution would ever support Martial Law as a response to crime. The fact that a politician would even suggest such a thing shows how far people in certain parts of the country have moved away from the freedoms and values that made America strong. We are rapidly...

It's nice to see the Charter Arms Bulldog getting some attention from gun writers. The Bulldog can be a bit large for a CCW, but it offers a unique and satisfying shooting experience. I would consider the six-round Police Undercover or Boxer (lightweight 6-shot undercover with a fiber-optic...

I'm glad to hear that you like both guns. The Shield Plus impressed me enough that I am making it my EDC. I've carried my Sig Sauer P365 since it was released in 2018. The only thing I really liked more on the stock P365 than the stock Shield Plus were the Siglight Night Sites. I held off on...

I was surprised that the author claimed that all of the LCR line, from .22lr through .357 Magnum, had the same trigger pull. I enjoyed the article, but I'm not convinced that the author has a great deal of experience with revolvers. I love Ruger revolvers, but I don't believe any manufacturer...

The recent push for magazine capacity restrictions has me wondering if I should purchase a few more handgun magazines. I have always made sure to own at least 5 magazines for any handgun I own. For guns that I shoot frequently, or guns with really affordable magazines (i.e. Springfield XD or...

Why did they draft these bills? I thought the democrat plan to combat the 2nd Amendment was to let rampant inflation make us all too poor to afford guns and ammo at current prices. They even had a backup plan to make gas so expensive that we couldn't afford to drive to the gun store or pay for...

Enough people appear to be concerned about the possibility of magazine capacity limits to cause yet another rush on standard capacity magazines. I personally prefer stainless steel or aluminum AR magazines from Okay Industries or Duramag to polymer. While I prefer metal, Magpul has established...

I've seen dirty barrels on enough of my new guns to almost expect it. What surprises me is when I see dirty barrels on used guns. I've seen more than a few dirty barrels when I have looked at guns from the consignment case at my range. It blows my mind that an owner wouldn't take the time to...

Yet another S&W that I never knew existed, but now want. This forum continues to remind me of how little I know about S&W semi-autos developed during my formative years. I had no idea that there had ever been semi-auto Chiefs Special models until I saw a different post a few weeks back. S&W...

If you haven't already, I highly recommend picking up a few Shield Arms 15-round mags for the Glock 48 (if allowed in your state). They are difficult to load to capacity at first, but mine have been 100% reliable so far. Brownells often sells 3-packs for about $35-$40 per mag. Since you...
