    Lilac Lady

    How do you like it compared to the PF9? I tried both and decided I liked the Kel-Tec a little better. Of course man is manly tactical black :-).

    Stevens 320 HD shotgun

    I got a chance to "ride Shotgun" on a trip to Cabella's in Columbus yesterday. A gun newbie buddy bought a Savage/Stevens 320 shotgun at a sale price of $199.00 Most of you will have seen it by now but it was the first time for me. It's got an 18.5 inch barrell\, 5 shot tube, and an AR style...

    New box of 9mm for me

    Hey fellas, A buddy gave me a box of Herter's Select (made by Blazer) yesterday. It's a 50 round box, 115gr, aluminum case, NYLON coated :-\ ammo. He got it at Cabela's and they call it TNJ (Total Nylon Jacket?). I haven't had a chance to fire it yet, I'll try and report when I do but I'm...

    Shootin range deserted...

    Newbies and filled CCW courses are a good thing. The wife took the course last Sunday and came home thrilled with how much more comfortable she was with "her LCP" (that used to be my pistol) and everthing surrounding defensive carry and shooting. She talked about taking more advanced courses...

    Interesting 9s

    Brother in law has one of those with longer (5.25?) barrell. It has a nice trigger and is very accurate. Nice pistol.

    Shootin range deserted...

    I go to the Riverside Range (Pro Armament) in Akron OH. I go on Saturday about once a month with a buddy who lives there. Two weeks ago we waited outside in REALLY cold temps for them to open and we still didn't get in line in time to be in the first set. Good news is a lot of newbies and...

    Panic buy?

    Wal-Mart shelves entirely bare of center fire handgun ammo last night. One good thing (for us) that has come from all of the attention to firearms right now is that my lovely wife finally decided to take the class with several of her girl friends. The bad thing is that the instructor wants...

    Panic buy?

    I would panic buy a couple of G17 factory mags if they were available but there are none in my small local shops and when I was at the Fin a few weeks ago I forgot to check. I would also buy another box of 500 .22lr if I came across some and I would pick up some more 9mm. I don't even have...

    Panic buy?

    What did you panic buy? I bought a spare 7 round, and an 8 round extended mag for the my new kel tec PF9. I don't think they have the votes for a magazine ban but I wanted it and it's my way of voting with my dollars. :D I got a little itchy for an AR but just couldn't do it.

    I think it is time to be pro-active

    I have started to receive the return emails from my reps. It took a couple of days. I wonder if that means the volume is high. Still hoping.

    Interesting 9s

    Dad has a Belgian Hi-Power. Very nice. I have a Marlin Camp 9 and a S&W 6906. A 9mm carbine and handgun that use the same mags is like cake AND ice cream!

    Interesting 9s

    If you liked 9x19mm handguns (like I do) and were putting together a collection of what you thought were interesting or significant examples of the type what would you include? I think you have to start with the Luger, a Browning Hi-Power, a Beretta 92 and a Glock 17. What you you add?

    Ruger LC.380!

    Thanks for the tutoring. I figured it was something to do with headspacing in chamber. So you would need a different barrel at least and at that point it probably makes no sense. There's my learnin' for today. I can go home now!

    Ruger LC.380!

    Stupid question alert. Why can't an LC9 be equipped with a light set of springs that would allow it to cycle 380? I know I have accidentally loaded my SW6906 with 380 instead of 9x19 and it fired but wouldn't cycle the action. Obviously there is a reason or conversion kits would be...

    25ACP shooting experiences?

    Grandad brought home an FN .25 from WWII. I've heard it called a "Baby Browning." He was a gunner on a Sherman with the 5th Armored Division and had a tank shot out from under him in France and another one in Germany. We still have it. I clean it every year. We fired it at a family outing...

    Hypothetical

    Just playing along. If I had to choose from only those two, I would go with the .25 over the derringer for round count and because I belleve a hit with a .25 is better than a miss with the 9mm. Is the new little Sig still too big for you?
