Re: Pocket Gun Debate: LC9 or Curve

Accuracy of PM9s is not a problem. The gun itself is very accurate. Accuracy issues with the PM9 probably are centered around the trigger pull being different than most of the modern striker-fired pistols. Longer stroke (akin to DA), but light. Tendency is to react prior to the round going off. The ...

Re: AR Pistol vs AR SBR - Which Is The Best Choice?

Abraham, I'm late to the party, but you might also take a look at the Kel-Tec Sub 2000 (Sub2K) 9mm carbine also. Offered in a few different magazine flavors compatible perhaps with pistols you may already own. I have a Sub 2K in .40 (Glock variety) and am very happy with it. I'd like another one in ...

Re: FireClean lubricant fight

I have no opinion of the stuff. I do enjoy using an odorless system myself presently. Super Lube. I stumbled on it after researching about Frog Lube a couple years back. I saw that Larry Vickers came to the defense of Fire Clean this morning. I think he has a dog in the fight - sponsor/promoter or s...

Re: Baby - IVF success

I wanted to update and share the good news. My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy - Henry - on the 12th at 00:29. 84 hours of labor. She was quite the trooper and really wanted a natural, un-medicated birth. That didn't all work out the way it was planned in the end, but the baby is healthy and h...

How long did you have to wait? Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly when I signed up, but I think it's been over a year now.

Re: Ruger SR22

In this article, Gun-Tests Magazine compared the SR22 to the Walther P22: http://www.gun-tests.com/issues/24_4/features/LR-Semiauto-Pistols-Ruger-and-Walther5949-1.html (requires subscription to read).

Re: GLOCK 42 Reviews

I like Glock's but why a .380 when the competition is fielding reliable accurate mini 9 mm's? See previous post M&P has both the M&Pc and the Shield Beretta has the Storm Subcompact and the Nano Ruger has the SR9 and the LC9 Springfield XDM in both double and single column Sig has the same....

Re: Ruger SR22

Hi there and welcome. I am also in Houston (SE side) and have a Ruger SR22. I like that gun a lot, but like others have said, the 22LR round is not the best for reliability (in a semi-auto) or for self defense. If you want to try out a Ruger SR22, perhaps I can work something out. Teamless and I hav...

Thanks for the tip. I'll check that out.

Re: AR Component Pricing/Sourcing

As far as rails go I was thinking about putting "optics" (red dot or illuminated reticle) and then BUIS on the 45 maybe? Saw that somewhere, thought it seemed cool. Cowitness with flip up rear sight would be fine too. I'm not at all experienced with selecting those things. I know TAM did a...
