Left hand: 7-3/4” to 7-13/16”. This is my “dominant” hand, for writing, and many skilled/detailed tasks. This is my better “Glock hand.”

Right Hand: 7-1/2” to 7-5/8”. (I kept getting slightly...

My background is Southern Baptist, with no known Jewish heritage, but, I like to keep in mind that I study the teachings of a particularly devout Jewish carpenter, from Nazareth. And, I live in a...

I said “my revolvering skills are less perishable.” This was only meant to apply to my personal self, and “less” is a relative term, as compared to my automaticing skills. ;)

I did not say...

This reminds me that weapons in waist/belt pouches, a.k.a. “fanny packs,” are vulnerable to spilled and dropped food and drinks. I will not say who it was, on a publicly-viewable forum, but I took a...

Let us all have a good, safe Passover/Pesach, however we choose to observe it.

My first experience with “limp-wrist” malfunctions started shortly before my fiftieth birthday. My first such malfunction was a bolt out of the blue, on a day when I was extremely fatigued, and...

‘Way back in the Eighties, I noticed serious bullet set-back, with a .45 ACP Winchester Silvertip, that had been chambered in a 1911. This prompted me to adopt the habit of habit of relegating every...

Reading through all of this has affirmed my decision to gradually shift to mostly using revolving pistols for daily carry, since retiring from LEO-ing. Maintenance is simplified, my revolvering...

Ed McGivern was not the only one of the accomplished “hip shooters” who liked big, bold sights. In case it has not already been mentioned, Elmer Keith also advocated for better sights, which included...

Well-stated. Thanks.

Plate racks. Plates conveniently situated at a consistent height. Plates situated a consistent distance apart. Plates that do not dive to prone, drop to kneeling, side-step, etc. Just sayin’.

No,...

Well, actually, the early GP100 grooves were not on the extractor star, but on the main part of the cylinder, in the recessed area that accepts the extractor star. This could be a challenge to...

When funnel clouds or tornados are near, the dark clouds can cast what appears, to be a sick greenish effect, at least when the sun is at some angles. I knew that no tornados were near, so, this...

I thought that I should point out that Bill Jordan’s hip shooting was quite different from the FBI hip shooting. In Bill Jordan’s book _No Second Place Winner_, this is clearly shown, in a...

Same here, a little way up the coast from y’all. At the moment of peak coverage, 1:39 PM CDT, a hole opened, in the several layers of clouds, for just a short time, except for some amount of...

I will quote/repeat, for emphasis, the “taken as evidence” part. Every firearm, at the immediate scene of a shooting incident, is probably going to be examined, for evidence of having been fired....

Amen. I had wanted to tell the OP that I had carried an N-Frame (S&W Model 58) IWB, in the Eighties, when I was about as slim than he is, but, I thought that it would go over about as well as saying...

Short answer: Yes. I might well still be carrying P229 pistols, had they been 9mm, instead of the snappier .40 S&W. (I got old.)

BUT, I might rather have used the P226, instead of the P229, had PD...

Yes, thanks, I have considered ordering an LTT Grip Anchor, if I buy another G19. I was already kicking myself for totally trading-off all of my three G19 pistols, because I had not yet tried the KKM...

This is quite concerning! I can imagine plenty of folks making this error, during reassembly. (I am not being hypocritically judgmental. My tendency to make “slip-and-capture” errors is something...

With this added context, my helpfulness is limited. I will echo the concerns already expressed, by other P-F members, about the 43x and other slim-line 9mm Glocks.

Regarding the number of pistols...

The G17 shoots better, in my hands, than the G19*. When I wore enough clothing to conceal a G19, I could conceal a G17. So, to answer your question, exactly as asked, I would choose the Glock G17,...

I seem to recall that Quito is where “professional” you-tuber photographers get ALL of their gear stolen.

Well, I did not quite get around to buying an FAL. Browning BLR, in .308, will have to do. Lighter to carry, anyway, so, better. Even better, a Takedown BLR, in a backpack, to enable having the AR/M4...

Stores in towns along the zone of totality are already having empty-shelf situations, according to my brother-in-law, who is very near that area, in Texas.

Apparently, there are you-tubers and...
