Re: Defensive Knife for Gov Employee Just about any Auto or Assist will work and as you are Military I believe you are exempt from CCW laws and what not. Pro Tech, Benchmade, Kershaw, Spyderco, Chris Reeves....There are a bunch of high quality Auto's and Assisted Open out there. Karsten

Re: Recommend a gunbelt Bullhide belts came highly recommended from members of a Concealed Carry/Defensive HG forum. http://www.bullhidebelts.com/message.asp?msg=49 I just ordered a 1.75 inch Elephant Hide belt....Pricy but I doubt I will wear it out any time soon. Karsten

Re: Trying to decide on auto 22LR pistol I have the Ruger MkIII which I imagine most everyone has...Nice .22 But for fun a picked up a Compact Browning M1911-22.....Just like a full size 1911 but about 1/3rd smaller....Hell of a lot of fun to shoot...

Re: M&P shield review coming from a glock guy. I have a recent DXX02xx Shield in 40 S&W and have no issues at all. A fully loaded mag locks up on an empty chamber or load chamber just fine. No issues with finger placement on the trigger/safety either. Recoil/muzzle flip is less than my...

Re: Best 1911 for under $1000 Turbo, I have a neighbor that just bought a Sig C3 (I think) Compact on the used market. I almost went up a dropped a $1000 on a 2 tone Ultra. That was until we took his to the range, FTF, sloppy mag lock up and would not lock the slide back on an empty...

Re: Best 1911 for under $1000 Kimber isn't getting to much good feed back these days. In the less than $1000 range I would look at Springfield, Base model S&W, Remington R5 1911. My GS friend that loads to say about his STI Full Race gun and a Compact he bought so his wife could shoot...

Re: Sig 1911 vs SA TRP I have an earlier SS TRP and TRP Operator and couldn't be more please with both. I am going to have to say TRP over the Sig myself. I do have a friend that just bought a C3 I think...2 tone compact and it will not seat a mag tight or lock the slide back on an empty...

Re: Looking For A New 1911 Interesting...It looks like SA tripped things up a litter between the TRP and the earlier TRP Operator. Early SS TRP Very Early TRP Operator with full lenght Dust Cover/Rail and adjustable rear. Karsten

Re: Looking For A New 1911 I have a SS TRP that I am very pleased with. As I recall the Custom Shop can almost turn a TRP into a Proffesional. I also just picked up a S&W Pro Series Subcompact and I was very surprised at the quality, fit and finish. Karsten

Re: Anyone carrying the Colt New Agent in 45? Not a lot of good pictures of the Trench sites but they do work with a little practice. http://www.americanrifleman.org/webcontent/pdf/2009-5/2009511105020-coltnewagent.pdf Mine is going in for a NM trigger and Beaver Tail safety theb I will...

Re: Anyone carrying the Colt New Agent in 45? I have a New Agent in .45 and I find to Trench Site is easy to pick up with a like range time. Not much different than the Notched rear on a lot of Snubbies. I still have about 30 days wait on my Permit so I will have more range time. I also...

Re: What's on your list? For those looking for a SA TRP Operator or TRP Here is a picture so you know what one looks like.....I haven't seen any SA product other than an EMP for a couple month. I did opt for a Diamond Back DB-9 over a .380, Picked up a S&W 1911 Pro Series Subcompact...

Re: ruger sr9 compact I have the LC9, SR40c and a Shield in .40. The LC9 is just large enough to rule out pocket carry and even with the 9mm round it is rather snappy. The SR40c feels better, handles better and even the .40 round even as bad as the LC9 to me. I did upgrade recoil springs...
