IMO Glocks are for carry (and range to keep up on skills), 1911 in .45 is for range and home defense.
If you don't like the way a Glock angles and points, then don't get a Glock. It's just a thing. Personally, I like Glocks. I have a hard time shooting some other plastic guns that just point...
I think it's awesome when women do competitive shooting, and I encourage my daughters, but I have zero interest in it. I like shooting and I feel like we go shooting often compared to other people, but I'm just not interested in it myself. I played competitive sports and was very good up through...
I just use a regular belt. It's fine because the gun I carry is lightweight, anyway. If I were carrying a bigger gun, I'd get a gun belt.
I have tried so many holsters, but I always come back to either a kydex hybrid or a stiff leather holster IWB. I also like the Crossbreed purse carry...
I'm left-handed. Crossbreed's purse defender can fit into a regular purse and can be ordered for lefties. I like mine a lot. I got a CC purse at Cabela's that is ambidextrous. It's ok.
I have a Can Can and it's comfortable, but actually more trouble to put on than a kydex hybrid, and it does not stay put as well and it does not offer the same type of consistent draw. I can pull the trigger through the fabric, I don't like that at all. A holster should protect the trigger IMO...
I took an NRA basic pistol course that covered all the basics. Pick a close range and check it out, I think there are many people who offer the course. Places that other people have mentioned are fine. There are women-only courses but I don't think that's a big deal unless she really wants that...
Tiny is nice to carry, but when you are new to shooting a bigger pistol is usually a lot more user friendly. Even though at this point I have shot a lot, feel comfortable shooting, and can shoot pretty well, I still sometimes get jamming issues with tiny guns because of limp-wristing. All it...
I think what's most important is that it's a gun you'll actually have with you and that you know how to use. My own "best carry" has changed a lot with my capabilities and concealment needs. I would love to be one of those people who carries a .45 and is awesome with it, but realistically I'm a...
I have to go there sometimes for work. I have a special pen with a top on it that would hurt if I were somehow able to jab it against someone. I bought it at the NRA convention a couple of years ago. It's better than nothing, I guess. Other than for work, I basically just don't go to Chicago.
We have been calling it the "preemie."
Funny enough, I was enjoying the 42 a whole lot when comparing it to other tiny pistols, but then shot larger guns for a while. Then when I went back to it the 42 felt so harsh in comparison to the large metal framed hammer fired guns. I thought it was...
I love Glocks, but I have a CZ75B and I shoot so well with it...I finally had to admit that I love the CZ75B more. I shoot with the CZ, strut around a little bit, then shoot with another pistol and remember how I'm really not very good. I still EDC a Glock...for now. I don't know about...
I rented one and liked shooting it. Shoots pretty soft for its size. I'm waiting for the color I want to be available at a LGS. I considered the rubber grip version but the bump in front of the grip is in a bad place for me.
The Well Armed Woman has an ankle holster that's sized smaller and has a calf strap. I haven't ever heard any reviews of it. The Galco Ankle Glove (the regular one) is popular with women, it should work better with a calf strap than without, and also like someone else said it's the shoes paired...
They claim they had ten available at each location. Evidently they did not have them available for public purchase if they were sold out ten minutes before they opened. I was considering getting both that and a Sig P938 they had on sale, but I walked out with neither even though they still had...
