if there is even a "hint" of unreliability with a personal protection handgun, why take a chance - find something proven to be a winner

Re: Where to Buy 9MM now?

.
hopefully I'll only need :

5 rds of .357mag
14 rds of .380
52 rds of 9x19
8 rds of 9x18 for SD

for the range: I've gotten 2 buys of 100rd 9mm ball (4 Federal & 3 WWB) at WalMart in the last week - but the shelves are, once again, empty

Re: Sig P290 for the wife

if "cost" of obtaining a CHL is a factor for holding off then, perhaps, a person with that thinking should consider a different interest

Re: CHL Proficiency caliber question
