Similarly, I pocket carried on my weak side for awhile last year because I had a fun little elbow surgery because of a bone infection. Was in a cast and then a splint for awhile. Put my titanium 85 in my other pocket since my strong hand was out of commission. I was used to appendix carrying and...
My girlfriend and I are getting new sights after discovering some deficiencies today. She wants a new set completely on her 42 and I just want a ledge style rear sight.
Anyway they're on our carry guns(her glock, my 1911) so its not something I want to do and mess up nor do I want to buy a...
Eh, my girlfriend can conceal it in most things she wears. 380 may be a little anemic but I feel more comfortable with her carrying that than just her knife.
After buying my girlfriend a 42 I discovered a problem. If the Glock 26 is a baby glock, what is the 42? I cant think of any cute nickname that isnt morbid.
I've carried a gun for years. I've taken several classes. I have one double mag pouch and a single mag pouch already. Guess I can just bring both. I guess I'm just more self conscious of how I'll measure up since I've never done a competition.
I've never shot any competitions or anything like that before. Would coming Saturday be beneficial? I'm not great with a handgun and I want to push to get better. What do I need? Mag carrier? Dual mag carrier? Shoot me vest? My friend Chase normally goes to these and of course the first one I...
Lets also keep in mind many glock users "upgrade" just about everything in their guns to get them to run as well as 1911's. While 1911 users get flak for going to a gunsmith to make their gun more reliable, its acceptable a glock user uses all the drop in parts to get them to shoot better. Match...
Trust me, if it were any other circumstance or if he moved passed the "imaginary line" i drew in the sand, it wouldve been a very different outcome.
Another reason why training is important. Some people forget details and things happen really quickly for them in stress situations, others think...
I'm a civilian. I've had to drawn on a very aggressive armed attacker. Luckily I kept distance and he knew I was in control. He looked away for a moment and I called the police with my free hand. He ran, i holstered without a shot fired and no damage sustained save maybe some bruises from a...
I switched from a M&P to a Springer 1911. Some of my instructor friends were giving me crap as I went to photograph a class for them because I switched. A guy on the range had a couple malfunctions with his glock. I picked up the Tula and fired it from my RO Compact 9mm (all sorts of blasphemy I...
I am new to 1911's. Sold my m&p40 compact (a mouthful) for the Springer RO Compact in 9mm (another mouthful). I wanted something thinner to conceal and wanted to try a 1911. Commander frame on an officer body for under 1g seemed a good route. I've only had it for a couple weeks and its only had...
I am looking preferably for a Commander/4in 1911 IWB kydex holster (soft loops preferred) and mag carriers. Mag carriers dont necessarily have to be IWB. Live in Washington/Vincennes area.
Like I said, the concern wasn't it getting broken, just temporarily obscured. I guess if there isn't an inherent reason not to run offset irons other than people here prefer QD mounts then theres no reason not to.
I like my folding sights. My girlfriend's AR has fixed sights but all other things being equal, I like mine out of the way. In fact, I dont even like how big my EOTech is and I will probably replace it. It just seems if one were to have a pair of folding sights they're better off being offset...
