      9mm Pistol Suggestions?

      Hi, I purchased a used Beretta 92FS SS at the Greenfield gun show last fall for $425 with one 10 round magazine. It was a special edition called VERTEC. The grip is substantially smaller and the length of pull is shorter that their regular 92FS but the gun will still accept the 15 and 17 round...

      Zimmerman Trial

      I have tried to follow this case, mostly on FoxNews.com. There was an excellent lengthy article yesterday summarizing the case to date. As you may recall, the local police initially ruled that Zimmerman shot Martin in self defense. It was only after Martin's family got national black leaders...

      Conceal Carry Recommendations

      You have many quality options to choose from. Several several have already been suggested. I prefer smaller carry guns. I have small strong hands and can easily handle the 9mm in the smaller sized weapons. I have currently settled on 3 carry guns and rotate them as it suites me. They are the...

      Kimber Solo vs. Springfield EMP vs. Sig P938

      Love my Sig P938. So far zero problems. Like the 3 dot sights, the single action and external safety. Some have complained about the trigger but my gun's trigger is smooth and seems overall quite similar to my Beretta 92FS SS. I have smaller hands and the gun proportions fit me well. I shoot 115...

      The Open Carry Argument

      "Perhaps if you'd read a bit further, you'd have found that many of the individual points have been hashed out quite a bit already rather than putting all this in one huge post. Who are the credible authorities he should cite in his own opinion essay? As the author stated, don't base it on...

      The Open Carry Argument

      I have not read any others posters to this thread but I could not help but to respond to a few of the many amazing rationalizations made by the author of this article and cited by the individual who started the thread. All the verbiage in the article but no cites to credible authorities on the...

      What handgun do you carry?

      I now carry two relatively different guns that I have been acquired in the last 6 months. I have a Sig P938 and a Taurus PT-111 SS third generation. When I carry the Sig, I also carry a second magazine, both loaded with Critical Defense ammo. This gives me 12 rounds. The gun makes for a good...

      Someone, take my safety - PLEASE!

      There is not going to be agreement between pro and anti gun safety camps. There is rational for both positions. Each of us must decide what works for us. My personal background with guns began with hunting weapons at age 11 or 12. Those weapons all had safeties which to this novice was very...

      What handgun do you carry?

      I carry three different guns depending on my activities. My favorite currently is the Sig P938 as it can be carried as a pocket pistol with the right holster. A close second is my Ruger LC9 because of its ergonomics but am not otherwise a big fan of DAO systems. And at times I carry a Taurus...

      Seven 9mm Pocket Pistol Comparison

      Hi, I have owned and shot both the Kahr PM9 and the Ruger LC9. Both have been completely reliable. When I first started carrying 5 plus years ago, Kahrs were the clear choice for me because of size, weight and reliability and accordingly I acquired the PM9. However, the Kahr never felt quite...

      P938 vs P238

      We have both the P238 and 938. The wife carries the P238 much of the time and I carry the P938. To me the P238 has slightly lighter recoil as would be expected for a .380 round. None of the 5 types of ammo we have fired through both guns was overly objectionable to us. However, I generally keep...

      Best 9mm home defense ammo

      Seems some posters like to just take cheap shots. It appears this poster did not read my post before he made his erroneous comment. It almost seems like these posters like to make these type comments just to boost their post count. The original poster asked: "Best 9mm home defense ammo - Just...

      Best 9mm home defense ammo

      In the September 2012 issue of the American Rifleman magazine an article titled Handgun Stopping Power, the author, Richard Mann a Field Editor, compared the ballistics of calibers from .22 to .45 ACP. The author fired 100 rounds into 10% ballistic gelatin. 23 of these rounds were 9mm. He tested...

      Need advice on a 1911!! Will be my first 1911 purchase

      I did not post to start a meaningless banter counter thread. Of course the .45ACP is a more powerful round than the 9X19. However, my posting was about the stopping power of selected rounds, not about how much kinetic energy is generated. And, of course kinetic energy is a strong contributing...

      Need advice on a 1911!! Will be my first 1911 purchase

      As I recall the numbers are based on actual data gathered from investigated and documented shootings. Ideal conditions played no role in the statistics. One can interpret as they wish but the numbers are the numbers. From all the write ups I have seen about 1911 calibers other than the 45ACP...

      Need advice on a 1911!! Will be my first 1911 purchase

      This is a follow up to a post I made last night in part about 9mm vs 45 cal choices. Today I ran across the chart about One Shot Stopping Percentages. This document was titled "Handgun Cartridges Power Chart" and was part of an article I read on line several years ago. The Chart lists calibers...

      Need advice on a 1911!! Will be my first 1911 purchase

      Addressing the portion of the thread relative to choosing a 9mm or a 45 cal type 1911 or other similarily configured hand gun. I shot the 1911 some when I was in the military in the early 70s. Of course then the 1911 was a 45 cal. Even though the gun was relatively heavy, I knew I was shooting a...

      denied of firearms transfer

      I also was denied a gun purchase at a gun show a several years back. I went over to another vendor at the show, saw the same gun (at a lower price), did the paperwork and the application was immediately approved. I have not been denied a purchase since. I never provide my SSN. So apparently they...

      Why did you pick a sub-compact vs compact (or pocket) for CCW?

      The size and weight of a carry gun does matter to me. I want to carry the best smallest 9MM available for the obvious reasons one for which one wants a small handgun. My first carry was a Kahr PM9 as it appeared to me to be the best available small gun 5 plus years ago when I obtained my license...

      Why did you pick a sub-compact vs compact (or pocket) for CCW?

      Size and weight does matter to me. I am a smaller person with small hands. When I first started carrying 5 plus years ago, Kahrs were the clear choice for me because of size, weight and reliability and accordingly I acquired the PM9. Since that time several other quality similar size guns have...
