      Glock Question: Should I Just Keep It

      Sounds like Glock is your chosen platform, which is fine. I'd suggest keeping the 23 and taking the following steps: Get at least 500 trouble free rounds through your 19 and make it your primary carry. Buy a conversion barrel for your 23 and make it your range gun. You might have to swap the...

      Finally found a Glock 19

      Wow, that's great. I travel some of that path myself. I live in Bowling Green, and my son goes to school in Terre Haute. I've never stopped by Meeks because I've usually spent too much time at Whittakers, but I drive right by it. I'll be sure to save enough time next Friday when I head up...

      Controlling a weapon light - while shooting

      Thanks for the replies. My offhand thumb is within reach of the switch when I point it forward and a downward press activates the momentary just fine - for the first shot. What I found was that the recoil caused my thumb to bounce off the switch and I temporarily lost control. It takes longer...

      Suggestions for a female first time carrying?

      The Mrs. found the LCR in .38 to have a little too much recoil for her liking, so the next step was to stay the simple course and get the same gun in .22 LR. 8 shots of .22 with a good chance of some being on target is better than 5 no where close misses. With more practice, maybe she can move...

      Controlling a weapon light - while shooting

      Today was the first time I've fired my Gen 4 G23 with a TLR-1 attached. I took it to the range at lunch time and put 90 rounds through it without any malfunctions. I was firing it for reliability due to the reports that are out there with 40 cal Glocks misfeeding with a heavy weapon light. I...

      Single AA EDC Light

      I ordered a Fenix LD12 with the newest XP-G2 R5 bulb yesterday. Specs at 125 lumens with all the typical Fenix selectable features. I'm hoping it will live up to the hype. Bought it on Amazon. I'll report back, but I don't have much to compare it to - just an old incandescent Streamlight...

      A Breakdown in Politeness

      As you may know from my intro, I am a Hoosier by birth, but currently a resident of Bowling Green, KY. Like much of Indiana, Bowling Green is a great place to live; low crime, decent income levels, reasonable living costs, etc. It is also a very polite community. Neighbors are friendly and...

      Glock 26

      I went cheap for my first G26 holster and picked up one of the Glock Sport Combat holsters for ~$15. It actually works pretty well for OWB carry. I trimmed the top tab out of the loops for belt clearance & lubed the inside with a light wipe of silicone spray to aid in release. I also used a...
