  1. I have an LCP, and I guess it has its place. It's easy to hide, no matter what you're wearing. On the original topic... I took my girlfriend to Specialty Arms last week specifically to look at the PK380, 'cause it's a good girl gun. The guy behind the counter steered her toward a revolver, and I agree. We all settled on a Smith snubby with a steel frame, chambered in .357 (not so she could shoot magnum loads). Simple, manageable recoil, concealable. In the end, she decided she didn't want a gun at all, so I bought me a 1911. Life can be hard sometimes :-)
  2. You may want to look at the walther PK380 if you can deal with the size. Everybody says it's a soft shooter, and the slide is real easy to rack. If she doesn't like recoil, she probably won't like either of the KT's
  3. My company has a no gun policy too. I'm sure it came from Risk Management, Legal, or both. Doubt that it has anything to do with rights. It's like random drug testing (which we don't have). Policies like that can drop insurance rates and minimize exposure to lawsuits. I don't like it, but I do understand why it's there.
  4. I always wanted one too. In fact, went to buy a Colt many moons ago, and the S&W rep talked me into buying the new Model 59 instead. Finally bought a new Springfield last weekend. Haven't shot it yet either, but I will in the next few days.
  5. If your LCP jams, you may need to polish the feed ramp and chamber. Had to do it to mine to get it to feed reliably while racking the slide. The cartridge cases were hanging on the top of the chamber because of some fairly rough tooling marks. Won't void the warranty if done properly. I'm sure a long breakin would have accomplished the same thing.

    What are these?

    The 336 was introduced in 1948, and they have sold a gazillion of them.
  7. Sorta looks like my couch last night. Don't have a chrome one, but my 1911 kinda looks chrome
  8. I have an Iphone too, but wouldn't try to do any serious admin work with it. My vote would be for a $500 HP laptop with a clearwire connection (or iPhone as a modem).
  9. If I had to bet my money, it's more about coordinating response to natural disasters and terrorist attacks. The devil is in the details. If he was trying to establish a dictatorship (like some of the media entertainers suggest), he wouldn't be so careful to make sure that the members are equally divided between Repubs and Democrats.
  10. The P01 has a decocker, and no safety. It's an alloy frame. I'm REALLY going to like it
  11. Just picked up my new sissy gun from Specialty Arms. CZ 75 Compact P01. I challenged the guy to sell me something else, and he didn't even try.
  12. kelemvor, Got a couple of good service pistols. Think I'll call around and see if there are any compacts on the shelf.
  13. Krull, The .40 S&W whipped the FBI's tail. :-) I can shoot my big 9's all day. Want something smaller that I like to shoot. Some extra weight doesn't bother me, because most of my carry will be the two pocket guns.
  14. Empty chamber, but I'm changing that after reading this thread. The lady in my security system tells me when a door opens, and which one, so there's time to chamber the gun. With that said, I'm thinkin' no warning is the best policy. Did y'all just hear that "clack clack"?
  15. Looking for a compact 9mm. I prefer a metal frame and DA/SA with decocker. Can anybody share their experiences with the CZ compact and sub-compact 9's? Already have light, small, and kicks like a mule covered with my 637 and LCP. Trying to add a little more quality to the statment "this is gonna hurt you more than it does me".
  16. Left or Right leaning, journalism is in the toilet these days. Cronkite is gone, and was replaced by Pee Wee Herman

    ARvsAK

    I will probably go for both, but the AR will be first. I hear thru the grapevine that AR's are coming down, and that's what i'm waiting for. friend of mine saw a Bushmaster M4 at Academy in Nashville a couple of weeks ago for significantly under $1k.
  18. The way I read it, it's about tax exemption for Interpol... Executive Order 13524 - Wikisource Public Law 79-291 - Wikisource. maybe I read it wrong.
  19. BTW... Specialty arms had both last time I was there. Good place to get both of them in your hands if you haven't already
  20. Here's a Randy Wakeman review on the Chuck hawks site. Ruger LCR I have handled the LCR and dry fired it (with permission). It feels good.
  21. I have a 700 long action in .270. Don't have any recommendation on chambering, but get the Jewell trigger. Best trigger I have on any of my rifles. Came factory set at 1lb., no creep, and no overtravel. May have to Dremel the inside of the stock some to make room for the safety mechanism.
  22. Funny stuff. Hope the crease heals
  23. That was fast. Now off to renew my NRA membership. Another bunch that really deserves my money.
