    Connecticut reaction on my blog

    I posted about the incident in Connecticut on my blog today. I delayed, for reasons below, but decided I needed to speak out. I've posted the content of that post here. Comments are welcome, but please, no political rants. When things don't work, it is usually a sign that there is a lesson...

    Letter to stores with "no guns" signs.

    Many of you have seen this but I want to post it again so that you can copy and use it if the situation warrants. Letter to ccw store prohibition: I was (activity) and I noticed your sign prohibiting concealed weapons. I understand and appreciate your concern for the safety of your employees...

    Upcoming LaserMax evaluation

    I remember back in the Elsie Pea days there were numerous "discussions" about whether to lase or not to lase (apologies to Will S.) But, for sights on a handgun, that is a question that was never answered satisfactorily to me. So, I contacted three laser sight makers asking for evaluating units...

    LC9 is replacing the LCP in my carry lineup

    After a range session with the #1 son the other day, I decided to go get my LC9 which was still on the block at the LGS. I experienced a couple of incidents in which the LCP failed to return to battery sufficiently to fire after a previous round had fired. I keep my guns clean and lubricated...

    40Cal New holster evaluation for the Ruger SR40c

    I will be testing and reviewing a new holster from FoxX Holsters beginning next week. It is a hybrid leather/kydex, single kydex "J" clip, adjustable. The guarantee is excellent, as is the price. I will give it some real world testing and report here and on my blog. Mayonardo iPad & Tapatalk

    9mm Versacarry and Ruger SR9c (and SR9) alert

    Today I experienced a significant issue with a Versacarry. I used one of my Versacarry holsters to carry my Ruger SR9c in the cross draw position (10:30) today. I did this for about eight hours - driving, walking, sitting. A day of errands. When I returned home tonight, I dropped my hat...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    9mm N82 Tactical Pro holster for my SR9c

    I heard about this holster from Yogi. I think... Anyway, being always on the lookout for another good holster, I got one from the N82 (Nate Two...) people to fit my SR9c. I've been using a Supertuck for IWB and a Bullard Bandit for my OWB carry for it and wanted to try a new design. This one is...
