David, if you want to get rid of that warrior, let me know. I've had my M&P 45C for a while and love it, but I've got the bug to get back into a 1911.

Funny thing, I was in town the other night and looked in my rear view only to see a bumper. He got in the left lane and passed me and the only thing that I saw was an American Flag and Hero Gear as I looked up.

When I got my permit, I went the next day and got fingerprinted. The fingerprints and background check got to Nashville before the permit application did and messed things up. I called after about 80 days and got someone to do some checking. The next day I called again and everything was fine, just a little mixup with the order of things. I guess that they want the applications there before the background checks come in to get put in the proper file. Permit was here within a week.

I agree with evryone here about letting her shoot different guns and picking it out for herself. My wife and I did the trial and error method. She first got a Kahr PM9. Good little gun but the one we got had issues. She then got a P3AT. Great little gun, but it was a bit snappy for her. Finally got a Kel-Tec P32, the P3at's little brother, and she couldn't be happier. My wife is a realtor, which means that she didn't want to change the way she dresses to conceal. The P-32 isn't noticeable at all. Just remember that a woman is built differently and what might be comfortable and concealable to a man might not be to her.

My wife bought a P3AT a couple years ago. We went out and shot it and she didn't like the snappy recoil of the .380 in such a light gun. Talked to Dan at Hero Gear and he traded us for a P32. She loves this little gun. The recoil wasn't bad for me, but to her the .32 is more comfortable. She carries it with her everywhere. Her slide and barrel is hardchromed which is a plus as well.

I've got an M&P 45 compact model. When and Where???

Welcome Neighbor. Winchester is great.

Welcome from outside winchester. I shoot on my property.

Joe (HERO GEAR) put a good coat of duracoat on my son's handi rifle. It's held up good for 3 years so far. We sanded down the barrel, reciever, and stocks proir to the duracoat. He put a camo pattern on the rifle and it really looks good.

I've used the Zesty Itallian to marinade before and it's good. Sometimes I'll soak the tougher areas in buttermilk overnight to tenderize. Rinse off the buttermilk, allow to reach room temp, dip in buttermilk - egg wash, then roll in flower or cornmeal with your choice of seasoning. Let set for a couple minutes to let the batter adhere to the meat and then fry. My favorite maridnade is Allegro. I get it by the gallon at Sam's or by the bottle at the grocery store. It works good on everything that I've tried it on. I even use it as a jerky marinade.

welcome, neighbor!!

Sherman, I think that I recognize your name. Did you used to work in a mental institution??? I may have spent time in a basement with you as well on a range. Not a joke at all.

I've been known to carry a spare mag in a cell phone holder. The one that I use is a magnetic flap generic holder. Granted, not a full size mag, but one for an XD compact or M&P compact. It works well and nobody will give it a second thought if they see it. I'm pretty sure that a compact glock mag would fit as well.

Looks like a good bird Mike. All of the game wardens around here will shoot a bird with white in it. Alot of them are domestic-wild mixes and they don't want them in the gene pool. On another note, my 12 year old son got a tom on the youth hunt on the 21st. It was 22 pounds with a 10 1/2" beard and 1 1/4" spurs. Not a gigantic bird, but he was proud. It sure did taste good

My wife used to carry a PM9 and I couldn't get it to stop jamming. I polished the feed ramp as per Kahr's recommendation and it still wouldn't do right. I ended up trading it for a compact XD. We might have just got a lemon, but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Yep, that was her. Rod lives a few houses away from my in-laws and she loves that big friendly dog. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had alot of things to get done.

Been a while since I've been here. With an unfortunate series of events (another blown out ACL = out of work for a few months, the depression to go with that, and the economy putting the wife's real estate job in the gutter), I had to sell off my babies to make ends meet. Things are looking better and I just got back in the game. I'm the proud papa of an M&P 45c now.

I picked up a M&P 45C saturday. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Looks like I'm back in the game. I'll try and come around more Joe. I've had alot going on in my life lately.

If he makes 3 lefts and a right, he'll be going where he was coming from. 2 lefts and 1 right will get you there a little easier.

Joe's running a big block chevy in that beast.

Once I get the range properly set up, you can come out anytime and shoot Wes. We're still doing stuff inside the house right now. I've got to hang curtain rods tonight.

Howdy there Kelly. I wondered when you'd eventually show up on here.

It is true that a weapon mounted light is a bullet magnet, but as Eddie has stated, they do have their advantages. You can illuminate a threat and dial 911 if you haven't already taken care of the threat. You can navigate within your house and open doors with your free hand easily. Who said that the light on your gun has to be the only light that you have? It's not like the light on your gun has to be on all the time, that's what momentary switches on them are for. They add bulk to the front of the gun and help with faster followup shots. A light in your hand is just as big of a bullet magnet as one on a gun. They look cool too.

You're kidding me, right??? My kids LOVE the bounce barn. I've been in there once with them, but the wife usually takes them about once a month. I'd be willing to bet that when winter comes around, you'll be busier than ever.

I shoot on my property. I'm just outside of Cowan and I've got just under 5 acres with my in-laws owning around 30 beside me. I'm going to rent a dozer and build me a real good backstop pretty soon.
