    Bye, bye Bond Arms

    The .410/.45 long Colt Bond Arms Snake Slayer in on sale at the local shop. Why? There is some detailed info on my self defense carry blog (sdcarry.blogspot.com) but the gist is the two-shot limitation is too onerous to overcome to rely on it as a main, or only, carry gun. It is superbly well...

    How much better is the new LCP

    Bigger sights. Shorter (smoother?) trigger pull. Should I switch to the new model? Mayo. iPhone & Tapatalk

    Known sources for ammunition - Availability Board

    I'm proposing that we use this thread to post up to date information on ammunition availability in your areas. For example, post what you've seen available, where and when. This way, for those in the area, it will be good information for a trip to the store if necessary.

    The Bond Arms derringer

    One compact handgun that is suitable for self-defense carry that hasn't been discussed here, to my knowledge, is the Bond Arms derringer. I've been looking into Bond's guns for a few days now, and had a long conversation Gordon Bond, the owner, about his guns. When I first heard about them I...

    "More guns equal more gun deaths"

    This is an inflammatory and empty statement that I've seen going around the internet. So, I decided to respond. See it here and pass it on: http://sdcarry.blogspot.com/2013/09/more-guns-means-more-gun-deaths.html

    Pjholster in stock

    As some of you know, I am a fan of Paul's kydex holsters. There are many kydex holster makers, and I think Paul is a master of this type. He is working from a backlog, but has a few new holsters in stock. He can be found at pjholster.com Mayonardo iPad & Tapatalk

    More reviews here and coming on my blog

    I finally received a shipment of laser sights from Lasermax. Cool stuff. I'll be reviewing them and testing against CT in the upcoming weeks. I also have posted a brief but good review of an innovative new kydex mag carrier, from Kytex. I think it's worth a look. See them here...

    Debunking a couple of myths - new blog posts

    I'm trying to catch up on my posting and my self defense carry blog (which may become my own web site soon). I address my thoughts to the magazine disconnect safety, and the holster/mag pouch combo. Many won't agree, but hey, that's what freedom is about, right? http://sdcarry.blogspot.com

    Facts - you need them

    I posted about a great web fact resource on my blog today: http://sdcarry.blogspot.com In the contenting debate about guns, I think everyone should be up on their facts and I've found an outstanding resource for unbiased information that has helped in my discussions with anti-gun types. It's...

    380 The CT is now back on the LCP

    I've been accused of being indecisive, with some justification. I keep going back and forth with the CT. Now I have a Remora with attached mag pouch (which I wear cross draw so the mag stays on my 'weak' side), a Hays OWB cross draw holster and a Bear Creek back pocket holster, so I'm pretty...

    My challenge to the laser sight makers

    I think the laser sight makers are taking the "easy road" and not addressing all the needs of their potential and current users. My argument and challenge to them is on my blog, sdcarry.blogspot.com Let me know what you think. Mayo. iPhone & Tapatalk

    Holster wardrobe

    Just as you have a wardrobe of clothes that you use to fit different circumstances, so do most of us have a holster wardrobe for the same reason. Summer demands different holsters than winter. A day of active pursuits requires different holsters that when you will be trapped, sitting on your...

    Preparedness

    I posted this on the other forum and want to share it here. If you want to be ready under almost any circumstance (assuming you have at least one hand free and are still conscious) carry in a GOOD accessible holster (if you are down, on your back with someone on top of you that nifty 4:00...

    An example of a brief letter to an elected official.

    I wrote it. You can use it, modify it, add to it, etc. Then send it to all of your representatives. Please take a look at the website: www.justfacts.com, especially the section on gun control: http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp It appears to be an unbiased research site, providing facts...

    A few actual facts about gun ownership and the use of guns in defense.

    I've been in conversation with the Majority Leader of the Colorado Senate again. There are "facts" flying around about the number of people killed and injured in "gun violence" (whatever that actually means), number of crimes committed with guns, etc. Well, I have done some research on facts...

    9mm New pjholster and notes on the Little Foxx and Bullards

    In my ongoing quest for the perfect holster (yeah, I know, but a man's gotta have a goal) I have been using one of Paul's (pjholster.com) outstanding kydex creations. I used to snub kydex, but I've since changed my tune. Check that out on: http://sdcarry.blogspot.com Since my last postings...

    I think it is time to be pro-active

    There is no substitute for communication to the right individuals. We kick topics around on the forums, but those who should be receiving our opinions and beliefs don't generally read these forums. I just spent half an hour finding the email addresses for all of my state senators and...

    380 New Jeff Hayes LCP Cross Draw OWB

    Jeff Hayes who live a couple of hours north of me in Colorado Springs, just sent me one of his "high and tight" OWB cross draw holsters for my LCP. Since getting my Crimson Trace Laserguard I have been carrying it in a Bear Creek pocket holster and wanted another non-pocket option. Getting a...

    12,000 and counting

    Talked with the gal who runs my LGS. As of yesterday there were over twelve thousand new gun requests in the system. Wait time, around nine days. Probably be 13,000 by 2013. Mayo. iPhone & Tapatalk
