Mostly Weapon shield. Got enough to last my lifetime. It works very well so no reason to switch. On my EDC guns I use Hornady One Shot spray. Dries dry and minimal odor. Tested very slick on one of...

During my early college years I had a gf that didn’t like my hobbies: guns and flying. I started seeing it as a control issue. She wanted to control me. Didn’t happen. Later a different gf, tolerated...

I had a VERY similar situation to the thread creator. I had surgery in my dominant shoulder and couldn't use that side for anything for about 5 months until the physical therapy took hold. I...

I think it's interesting that a DA/SA is finding a resurgence. While AIWB carry is uncomfortable for me except with small guns - PPK, Jframe, Kahrs, I understand its appeal. When carrying that way I...

I'd look at either a steel Jframe or LCR .38 or .357 using either full wadcutters or light bullet ARX or Honeybadger type ammo. Trigger should be do-able and recoil shouldn't be too bad. I like the...

A few years ago I went through a combat medic course. I got a chance to fire the FNS9 (not owned by me) quite a bit. I did a few mag dumps at 7-10 yards. I was very impressed. All went POI/POA and...

I also use Hornady One Shot on my carry gun. Very slick and doesn't run (its dry). On the rest of my guns I use Weapon Shield. I have enough to last years. It's great for treating the bores....

I guess the consensus is NAY. Thanks for the input!

My EDC is a blue label G19. I'd consider a blue label G43X for travel, but the same issue holds. That's why the under $300 price point for the "airline travel" gun. If I could find a LEO...

I'm looking to replace my current "airline travel pistol" (KT P11) with a newer one with a better trigger. The idea is to keep it cheap so I won't get too upset if it gets stolen in transit. I've...

Before retirement I carried my issued firearm (H&K P2000) on and off duty. The theory is that I was currently qualified with that gun and had a few thousand rounds through it during documented...

If you're in South Florida, the Homestead Training Center offers it monthly. Cost is $65.

Our INS firearms unit was pretty good. After a pre qual and qual (I had to qual with both my Beretta 96 and my H&K USPc since it was INS provided via purchase plan) each quarter we would...

Pretty much any CLP will work. Research online tests for rust preventative/lubrication. Test was pretty comprehensive. I forgot which forum, but it's findable. That said, I use Weapon Shield on most...

I shot one of the early issue G19 a few months ago (don't ask) and thought it has decent sights and a slightly better trigger than my Blue Label G19 bought about 15 yrs ago.

Back in the INS/BP DOJ...

I own a USPc .40 LEM (agency employee purchase) and was issued a P2000 for 8 years. When I asked our agency armorer to upgrade my USPc prior to my retirement I was told that there weren't any USPc...

Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine units are issued the G23 instead of the agency issued P2000 (before the recent switch to the Glock) because of the ability to handle a salt environment...

Internet scanner apps are useless in my area unless you want to listen to air traffic control or some fire departments.

What is your view on city council's vote to ban firearms on city property?
I support it.
1%
I support it, but wish there was also a statewide ban on assault weapons.
3%
I support it, but wish...

CBP LEOSA form? What and how do I get one?

I did the same thing. I requested my creds and badge back when I submitted my papers. The creds came back with "retired" punched in them and the badge has a little "retired" sticker on the bottom...

While I don't think there's anything precluding carrying anything other than the P2000 off duty, I always thought it was a good idea to carry the issued weapon while off duty. I did so...
