      Warsaw Steel Challenge this Saturday ?

      Great. Thank you! I've been crazy busy this season so this will be my first match this year. Looking forward if nothing gets in the way.

      USPSA gear help - fat guy

      As a woman and a fat one at that, I think you want to look for a holster with a drop and an offset. That drops the holster a bit lower (not legal for men in IDPA), and the offset pushes the grip away from the body slightly. For women this is often helpful because of the relationship of waist to...

      seeking advice on M&P options

      I am considering an M&P Pro or CORE either in 4.25 or 5 inch barrels to serve for home defense. I would also like the option of participating in USPSA/IDPA etc. Any suggestions or feedback regarding barrel length for home defense? Thanks.

      seeking advice on M&P options

      I completed a Babes with Bullets training camp a couple of weeks ago and would like to try some area steel challenge/USPSA/IDPA for additional experience even if I will not be competitive. I am considering an M&P Pro or CORE either in 4.25 or 5 inch barrels. This would also serve for home...

      Stylish Gunbelts

      I use a pistol wear holster for pants that do not have belt loops such as a favorite pair of dress pants. While it can be hot in hot weather, and the draw is not rapid, it is comfortable, secure and hides very well. I can also assure you that I am NOT thin. I am a plus-sized woman and this works...

      How do you ladies carry?

      I am a 5 foot 3 inch "plus-sized" woman. I have been carrying on body for almost a year. I do have two concealed carry purses that work well in some situations, but am now mostly carrying on body. My original gun is a Model 38 J-frame 38 that my father gave me probably 25 years ago. I mostly...

      Lady Friend needs help with a concealed holster

      I too work in a no guns/no knife environment and choose to not carry in the building. Obviously she will need to deep conceal and keep in mind her physical activity, etc. One way I carry sometimes depending mostly on clothing or environment as well as activity and physical proximity/bending...

      pepper spray or other suggestions for defense at work?

      I had a couple of somewhat worrisome encounters at work last week. I cannot carry a firearm at work, but I think pepper spray or other non lethal self-defense option is worth considering in the future. I am thinking about pepper spray as one option. As my clothing options do not always include a...

      This is not a daycare, It's a university!

      I heard an interview with Everett Piper, president of OWU, on Bott radio today during which he read this short piece. Outstanding. If I were looking for a college education these days, OWU would be in the running!

      How do you ladies carry?

      There are some nice belts for women at Reinforced Holster Belts | Flashbang Holsters, but I recently ordered a couple of 1 1/4 inch belts from Gun Belts by The Belt Man | tel. (919) 387-1997 | DUAL-LAYER BULL HIDE BELTS. Plainer, but I liked the plainer buckle options. They were VERY helpful on...

      Ideas for a handgun for my wife

      I applaud her willingness to consider carrying after all these years, but she really does need to be in charge of her journey with your help and guidance. You cannot choose for her. I have owned a J frame for years and just bought my first semi-auto after a lot of research and holding various...

      Wife wants to purse carry.

      There is a mom who carries concealed on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWDoreCuB3Y. Might be worth watching to help answer some of her questions. I now carry almost exclusively on body now, but do have two concealed carry (purpose built) purses as well. HOWEVER, that purse never can...

      question about 9mm Shield trigger

      I am new to semi-auto's and recently bought a S&W M&P Shield. In my pre-purchase research I saw several mentions of the rather crisp tactile and audible reset. However, this one does not seem to have either. Certainly not audible. Perhaps I am not sufficiently experienced to feel the reset yet...

      I just got off the phone with "the belt man". He was very helpful in answering my questions. I just placed MY order (with a buckle). Here is their number in North Carolina. (919) 387-1997

      ranges that rent in NE Indiana?

      I am in the process of evaluating the best subcompact 9 mm for me to buy. Will be my first semi-automatic. Where are ranges in the Fort Wayne area that would rent a variety to try. Alternatively, the Fishers/Indianapolis area might work as well as my brother lives in Fishers. He is helping me in...
