    Holster Evaluation Charts and Analysis Posted on my Blog

    As most of you here know, I have a few holsters. Well, I've had more than I now have, but I still have a few. Over the last year I've been collecting information about these from a personal, carry perspective. I've actually written this down and produced a grading system to help me rate the ones...

    Interesting scenario today..

    Indifference and refusal to get involved where involvement is the right thing do do has made our society more callous and alienating. My opinion is that once you got involved, given that this kid might have been looking for someone else to rob or assault, just leaving would not have been the...

    Interesting scenario today..

    Might have been harmless panhandling. Might not. You did the right thing by telling him to stop and remove his hand from his pocket. At that point I would have said something like, "I don't have anything for you. Move on." If he didn't and have given me backtalk, I'd be on the cell calling the...

    Reloading and the very beginner

    Dave, I think your posts are an immense help in demystifying reloading and letting us see what it is like to get started. I reloaded years ago for my Smith .41 and used a Lee hand loader. Inexpensive but very effective. I think for the average shooter that is the way to go. I only bought a Lee...

    SR40c vs SR9c

    Same here. My newest is the SR22PB, but we have the same three guns. Now, I think all of the bases are covered, except for center field, which needs an SR1911... Are you listening, Santa?

    Ruger SR22P - new, but with a problem.

    I like it, minor issues aside. That fat grip is staying on. Fits my hand much better. I believe it will help tremendously in improving my self-defense shooting techniques. And, it's fun and inexpensive to shoot. Mayo. iPhone & Tapatalk

    Ruger SR22P - new, but with a problem.

    What's weird is that, after messing around with the magazines at home, I found just the opposite... I can pretty easily load the first round without pulling down the follower by using the follower as a guide to get the right angle. Then, not pulling the follower down still, the rest load pretty...

    Shootin' on the Range.

    Since we don't have a range anywhere near, I went out to the "range" (the only other mammal I saw was a big Pronghorn buck) and shot up some cardboard. Put twenty-five Winchester White box rounds through the LCP without a hitch except to prove once again that I need to shoot a lot more...

    XDS 45ACP

    Yep, never carried to concealed. Big leather holster and duty belt. I think an SR1911 in a Bullard Bodyguard would conceal just fine. With a jacket, even better. Well... When I hit the lottery, oh, wait... You gotta buy tickets first.... Mayonardo iPad & Tapatalk

    Ruger SR22P - new, but with a problem.

    Posted this on the Ruger Pistols Forum also: Bought a new SR22P today and headed for the "range" along with the SR9c and the LCP. The .22 is a sweet handling, accurate pistol. I didn't clean it first on purpose to see how it would behave right out of the box. No problems. Except - getting the...

    XDS 45ACP

    Oops... Was thinking of the differences between the 9mm and the .45 calibers. I've been reading some informed pieces on that and agree with the view that having more rounds to shoot and hitting what you shoot at is more effective than just the size of the projectile. And, there isn't much of a...

    380 What is the best accessory you have added to your .380?

    XDS 45ACP

    Don't want to raise the old caliber argument (too many variables mixed with personal preferences makes it a waste of time anyway) but MSRP of almost $100 more than an SR1911? I'd rather have the Ruger. YMMV Mayo. iPhone & Tapatalk

    I will get some photos up with it on. Still, it's going to depend on your body type and the pistol. The LCR is going to hide better than an SR9c. Mayo. iPhone & Tapatalk

    Another theater shooting...

    Now, there is a stance I agree with. I ask what kind of armed security is in place to protect the non-carrying patron from criminals that don't care about the "no concealed weapons" sign. When I get that blank stare, I say I won't be spending my money here, and neither will my many friends who...

    Improving your grip on the LCP slide

    Another solution that works well for me is to use skateboard tape cut to the shape of the slide. I stick it over the serrations and mash the tape down into them with the end of a round paintbrush. It stays for months (these have been on for almost a year I think) and it is easier, but not as...

    When to CC?

    Just to offer a little balance, I am a flaming, tree-hugging liberal. I'm also a Viet Nam vet and carry everywhere it is legal to do so. Stereotyping is not your friend. Mayonardo iPad & Tapatalk
