Re: Grips for a J-Frame That Do Not Rub Against Speedloaders

No personal experience with these but I've heard good things from the guys at American Fighting Revolver (good guys to follow if you are a revolver fan).

Re: Love My Glock 20 Gen5!

Oh regarding holsters. I consider Glock's "work" guns and generally wear them in kydex. I have a paddle holster from Comp-Tac and a OWB holster from Raven Concealment that is no longer made.

Re: Love My Glock 20 Gen5!

I don't own a 20 but do own a 21 and have a 10mm conversion barrel for it. It's definitely a big gun and noticeably more snappier than a 9mm but nothing punishing IMO. If you feel the grip is to big, you can get it slimmed down to Glock 17 circumference. I had mine done by a guy and also had him ...

Re: Updated Forum version


Before the update the "Active Topics" seemed to be the default page to load. Is there a User-level setting that needs to be changed to have Active Topics show up when visiting the Forum? Or, is that perhaps a back-side Admin setting that directs / redirects which page initially loads by default ...

Re: FN Reflex SAO with no Manual Safety


I love the FN Reflex. Great gun.

I am looking for others' opinions on carrying a single action only, hammer-fired, with no manual safety. FN specs says it has a 5lb trigger. Mine ranges 4.25 - 5.25lbs. To me, any SAO hammer fired should have a manual safety. Is my brain stuck in 1911 thinking ...

Re: 1911 Shooters Thumb on/off Safety

I've taken many firearms classes but not one specifically with a 1911. I've always shot my Glock's for pistol classes and I guess the closest experience would be an AR class I took a few years back. When the rifle comes up, you toggle the safety off. When you are come off target, the safety comes ...

Re: The 1911, My First Love

I thought I had responded to this before. I love 1911's but I've found the older I get, the heavier I find them. I normally carry a Glock 17 and love the capacity and the weight for what it is. Plus I don't mind beating up on it where as my 1911, I bought it for my dad 25 years ago for his birthday ...

Re: Man dies clearing malfunction at Ft. Worth range

My friend who has a membership at the Alliance location is inviting me to shoot there on Sunday. He's a very newbie shooter. Enough so that he and his wife took a beginners shooting class at Shoot Smart. Not faulting him and think it was a smart thing to do. He's fully gotten into firearms picking ...

Re: Truck Guns!

Not sure if it's allowed or not but I'd like to share something that Gabe Suarez just posted directly related to this. Basically carrying a truck gun won't work/happen for the majority of people. 1) Most won't bother to consistently keep the truck gun available. 2) The pistol is what most people are ...
