      4in barrel vs 3.8in for duty carry

      If it is duty carry I would go with the longer barrel for the slight difference in velocity and the slightly better sight radius. If I were to be in a defensive position against an armed individual and could OC without issue I would want every advantage I could get.

      Is concealing ever supposed to be comfortable...?

      I agree with the above posts. With the right clothing and holster even a fullsize can be concealed with jeans and a teeshirt comfortably all day. I find if I carry too far back even a short 30 minute ride in a car can be bad, but in just the right spot I can have it all day in meetings...

      Rules for the Gunman

      A great list. I may keep this posted close at hand to show others as they get into shooting.

      Wife needs an EDC

      I would feel more comfortable with the .357 because a .380 does not seem like it would do any good on a 'heavy' assailant with a coat on...

      Indy star letter to the editor - 4/12/12

      The police - for the most part - do their best with what they have, however in my small town the ratio of citizens to police is 580:1 as of the 2010 census... There is no way I can count on an officer driving past my house when I would need him most. That is why I choose to protect myself and...

      Dillon XL650

      Thank you for the information. For the calibers I am looking to reload I am not too worried about the conversion costs as I would be saving 50-70% on my target ammo without even doing the real homework on the best component prices with potentially better results than the factory ammo. I am not...

      Home Defense heads up

      Same here -- If someone were to beat on my door in the middle of the night I will be armed, my wife will be armed and on the phone before I open the door. I will also remain in a blocking position of the door to ensure it is not an easy-in like I am welcoming the girlscouts selling cookies.

      Going to give Glock a fair try.

      The reason is if the trigger is accidentally pressed. Quite a few accidental / negligent discharges have taken place while just holstering a gun if the proper care is not taken. I have not had this issue, but again I have not had to reholster after using a pistol in a defensive matter either...

      Home defense weapon...

      The quickest and cheapest -for now- route may be to keep the shotgun loaded and ready with the .22 on-hand for the follow-up shot. If the intruder is on their own and the shotgun is on-target there probably will not be much need for a follow-up shot; if they have an unarmed friend then chances...

      Is concealing ever supposed to be comfortable...?

      The MTAC Comp-Tac holsters work great for IWB carry, wear them all day with no issues if the gun is in the right place.

      Dillon XL650

      I am looking into starting to reload this summer to help feed the habit as it were. The press I am seriously looking at is the Dillon XL650. What experiences have you had with that machine, good-bad-ugly? I know some people say not to start with a progressive but I am very detail oriented and...

      Wife needs an EDC

      FYI -- The Kahr CM9 / PM9 is a great format that can carry 7+1 9mm and is an easier gun to shoot than any .380 I have seen for a comparable size.

      Wife needs an EDC

      She could use a belly band-type holster or Smart Carry which would be even better if she is in scrubs with patient care where she may bump into a patient and printing is not the only issue. I am curious, does she work in a doctor's office or a hospital? If it is not against the regulations...

      Teacher fires blanks at class

      That sounds like a very effective way to teach that lesson...wonder what the paperwork was to get that through the system...Or was it more along the lines of ask forgiveness later?
