I had an SP101 in .357 mag. It was a thumper.

Shooting it drove my thumbnail into the pad of my ring finger hard enough to incite a bone 'pearl' inside the finger. Had to have surgery to take it...

My p380 had issues when I first got it. FTEs and stove pipes a-plenty.

I put about 300 round through it and it started to function more dependably.

Then I Frog-lubed it, tore the slide apart...

For pocket, I think the Sticky works well. It can double as an iWB, although ymmv on that.

I carry a very nice french pocket knife - have lost several of them to TSA over the years because I forget it's in my pocket.

Last time was helpful, though - there's a service @IAH where you can...

A couple of points:


People walked into the store. In NYC! They were either genuinely interested in purchasing a firearm, or plants.
If the latter, you can't do anything about that.
If the...

It's something I'm very conscious of, but handling it every day - taking it in and out of the car - makes it more likely you'll set it down somewhere in between, leave it and not realize it.

I've...

Yeah, I have a hard time believing that's by design. The tolerances would have to be crazy tight for that to work consistently.

If it were mine, I think I'd get another striker and try relieving...

Guess that would do the job, or slugs, for that matter. Laser sights on the shotguns should assist placement. I was thinking along the lines of a single shot, laser-sighted carbine, pistol caliber-...

Or hanging, guillotine, e-chair - whatever's on the menu. Prisoner's choice. Same with hood/no hood. Maybe they could have videos at their disposal of prior executions to help them decide.

My p380 fed the Fiocci ok, but the groups went all to hell.

XTPs seem to work pretty well.

My P380 started out rough - lots of stove pipes and FTFs. 100gr flat nosed were terrible. Standard pressure XTPs were better. I froglubed it, then stripped the slide down and removed all the excess...

The problem I have with concealed carry permit is this: How do you enforce it?

If the weapon is concealed, then no one knows it's on the person (concealed is concealed - for the case of the...

I like the Sticky line - http://www.stickyholsters.com.

Not sure what we're calling '12:00' vs '6:00', since the slide is usually upside down when you put in the guide-rod/spring assembly.

I always turn it so that the open end is at the top of the...

Backups, backups, backups...

Don't like the trigger safeties, at all. That was, in fact, a big selling point for me for the Kahr.

I had a Springfield XD45 for a short period of time that had the trigger safety. Thing bit my...

Check the firing pin extension (with the spring removed) It should stick out enough to put a good dent in the primer (assuming the back part of the casing butts up flush against the breach.)
