You know how sometimes you get a bad feeling from someone, like they’re insincere, insecure, egomaniacal, hiding something, selling snake oil, or bloviating without any experience to back it up? It...

If a large man is breaking down the door to a room containing a small woman holding a baby, and then attacking the woman and breaking her wrist, I think I know for whom it is most appropriate to have...

How many American “special folks” would look special shooting against 300-lb IT guys and 100-lb oral surgeons at a local USPSA match? Let’s just say we both know that we’d want to know more than...

The US has a lot more competent shooters than Europe does, but has many more gun owners in general. I wouldn’t bet on the average American gun owner being more technically proficient than the average...

This being an MOS, will the placement of the dovetail cause an issue with adjustable rear sights designed for the older G17Ls? I’m assuming there might be some rear overhang with Dawsons, for example.

On a serious note, I do think I get what you’re driving at. My inclination is that warrior is not the right word. It implies war, and that’s not how LE should operate, nor how self-defenders should...

Is “woke” taken? I think it fits pretty well.

I don’t know. But, I would say that carrying this stuff doesn’t make people fighters. I’ve spent time with people who own guns for self defense, and armed professionals, who are definitely not...

“Minimum to the principal, maximum to the threat.” Oh, wait

Edit: I think maybe I misunderstood.

Probably pretty well. Timex, 100m WR and quartz combine to suggest a fairly robust watch.

Maine State Police. They’re pretty proud of it.

Correct. It’s a quirky thing to change. I kinda like it, and I’ve banished my few 10-round G26 mags from circulation for fear of mistakenly mixing one in and having a single-shot pistol.

Same here. If I grip a 1911 as I would grip a Glock, the safety won’t come off because the base of my support thumb is right under the safety in the “on” position.

Bummer. As an EDC pistol it’s been great, and 500-round training sessions are comfortable. It’s an excellent all-around pistol for a plainclothes gig.

If I’m following correctly, TGS and BBI were talking about where BBI works, not NoVA. I could be wrong.

From the oral arguments in the bump stock case, justices on both “sides” seemed pretty open to the ban being legal based on the current definition of “machine gun”. This one will be interesting too.

You can say that again. It all has to go into a big equation, which individuals are best equipped to solve for themselves.

[Tangent off topic for the thread, removed.]

I’ve been thinking about a G44 myself. Just don’t get a G40 (6” 10mm cannon) thinking it’s a .22!

It’s sad, to say the least. ALS paddle holsters under polos, bulky leather thumb breaks peaking out from under t-shirts, etc. Squared-away FAMS and (other) UCs are the only feds (the only LEOs,...

Wouldn’t that crowd be more upset if they found out you weren’t carrying?

I do kettlebell suitcase carries up and down multiple flights of stairs, taking 2 or 3 steps at a time and switching sides every so often. Carrying the weight on just one side forces me to brace my...

Dammit, I should have thought of that!
