This is my protocol.

I also order carry ammunition by the case so I usually always have plenty on hand. My carry gun has become my teaching/training gun on more than one occasion. I just treat...

The priming compound goes into the primer in a little ball that gets compressed into a shape that resembles a disc. Think of it like a Ritz cracker.

Then think of subjecting that Ritz cracker to...

Unless it's a European formulation, it's not actually fully synthetic because "fully synthetic" is a marketing term in the US instead of an accurate descriptor of how the base stock is made.

Lubricants don't work the way most assume that they do:

A pump gun built from the ground up to be a defensive gun without some of the drawbacks of the 870 or Mossberg 500/590 series guns would be welcome.

Integrated mounting of a dot is nice...but not...

That's the problem with almost all the plates out there for the M&P. They sit the optic high enough that the sights won't cowitness.

Dawson sights of the right height will fix that...but they are...

The PM session is full.

I have one slot left in the AM session.

What lube?

Anything that doesn't leave some sort of sticky residue or burn off at too low of a temperature. WD-40 is bad about that. Rem-oil is bad about that.

Degreasing with alcohol? Yes.

You know how smudged up your smart phone gets? All that stuff is on the grip of your pistol plus other stuff besides. Lint, gun oil, dead skin, firing residue...none...

I'm not sure how much longer that will be the case. Northern Virginia is on track to become DC entirely with all the consequences that entails. They're voting for the same kinds of politicians to...

I'm not sure what I'm looking at with that second photo because of the lighting. My assumption is that the pattern in question is the four pellets in the top white piece of paper with the rest of the...

It's a granulate material, but the granulate is securely held in place by some sort of top coating. So unlike actual skateboard tape it doesn't shed grit into your holster or into the gun. It also...

Someone found this gem of Bill Jordan doing some fast draw hip shooting. There's even a slow motion video capture of a quick draw in it at around the 3:55-4:00 mark:

Cut it to the shape of the exact spots you want more traction for on the pistol, degrease that area with isopropyl alcohol, then apply. It...

A mini-version of this discussion happened in the LE UOF thread, which is a wealth of video evidence of pistols having problems:

Yes.

As stated earlier in the thread, your super compact 9mm pistol is (ceteris paribus) going to be more finicky about grip, maintenance, and lubrication than, say a Beretta 92.

Your typical...

I've shot clay thrown by one of those red plastic throwers with a pistol on a piece of property that could make that possible to do safely. (valley surrounded by unpopulated mountains with heavy...

I have no problem stating that Taran Butler likely has an exceptional natural gifting of hand-eye coordination that has been honed over a long period of time with abundant practice. None of that...

There's no difference between the two.

The forend doesn't have to move all the way to the rear to recock the hammer. On the Mossberg, any movement of the forend to the rear will cause the trigger to have a "click" in it even if the hammer...

The curse of our modern age is that there's a lot more video of normal people pulling pistols to defend themselves given the near ubiquity of cameras. One does often see draw/grip related issues when...

I greatly prefer Aridus.

Partly because they actually designed most of the parts that GG&G merely copied.

But mostly because they work better.
