as others have said:

- 5" M&P 10mm
- more trapper length lever guns. While I'm dreaming, make one in .41 magnum.

beyond that, here's what I want:

- Why can't somebody make a modern plastic...

Sometimes "that guy" can be an amusement, and sometimes he can be a danger. We had a guy in a recent class who checked out OK ahead of time (pretty decent IDPA shooter) but ended up not being quite...

Looks like SLG maintained his grey man status with one out of focus background shot. You'd think a guy with camera crews coming to his house would be a little bit more into getting his picture taken.

I would choose the first option every time, but what do I know?

that dude is seriously steampunk.

SLG -

SH = strong hand
WH = weak hand

OR

SH = support hand
WH = ?

Jason, if I understood LAV properly when he covered this topic in class, his opinion is the same as yours for the same reasons. Not surprising that LAV and Kyle would be of the same opinion.

Today is an auspicious day to list my preferences --

Milt Sparks dual talon holster

41magfan - I didn't connect the screen name and shipping name. Thanks for your order! You'll find that this is a great way to carry a .41 mag if you're so inclined as well. N-frame, Ruger, etc. The...

the lesson of the wise owl is that caliber is no substitute for proper shot placement

I dunno... I hear that .45acp is the one shot stop caliber of choice if you're gunning for skunks.

The 10mm is a nice in between compromise that is indeed an upgrade from the .45, particularly with some of doubletap's loads. The only real choice in that caliber unless you have a lot of money for a...

I inspected a range officer the other day. Looks like a lot of 1911 for the money. The M&P pro sitting next to it for $200 less was a lot of gun for the money too. Regarding the sights - I used a...

Half of the reason I carry is daily forays into the backcountry every morning. I trust Hornady XTPs in .45acp more than anything available in 9mm if the target in question is bigger than a human.

I've traveled tens of thousands of miles over the years on a MC. No doubt you're more vulnerable on one. I've had a handful of incidents that reinforced this. It used to be that you were more of a...

I'm not in a position to comment on the real world application of that philosophy either way.

Suffice it say that a guy with lots of experience sees fit to train his students -- mil, leo, civ --...

By LAV's pistol 1 / carbine 1 classes, you are doing shooting on the move drills that have you shooting while moving in various oblique directions both forwards and backwards. Things like threading...

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that you'll need to decide on whether you want a milled or stamped receiver. Milled are "higher quality" but heavier. Heavy enough that you might as well go...

You might try Pendleton Whiskey.

This isn't experience speaking, just what I've heard from a couple of others.

Bill Wilson likes 2" high in .45acp 1911 @ 25 yds because it gives him a 75 (50?) yard point blank range, and he's a...

Good on ya!

That first picture reminds me of a favorite LAV quote -- "It's going to be cold with maybe some rain and snow? I guess I've got some jackets and shit I can bring."

Just didn't want any misunderstandings on the Kifaru thing... and I rarely know who has heard what. Thanks for your Koala purchase!

I'm not at all a fan of the velcro panel. It adds weight, adds...

Ok, so neither of you were actually wearing 5.11s. Maybe what he really meant was you were both the only guys within 100 miles who looked like they had paying jobs, ergo...

My carbine is an AR with a comp m3, so I've got the standard hold over issues at closer ranges.

My carry pistol is an SA lightweight 1911. It came from the factory shooting ~2" high at 25 yards. I...
