    Sidearms & Scatterguns In the car pistol carry options.

    Good advice. The handgun is no use to you if you can't access it, and if you have to bail out of the car in a hurry, the only sure way of being able to access it is to have it on your person. Mine rides in a Milt Sparks Summer Special, but since I am lefthanded, it's almost impossible to draw...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Sights

    Replaced the factory Trijicons on my Gen. 1 Model 17, and my wife's Gen. 2 Model 19, because the tritium was fading out. I put Heinie SlantPro three dot night sights on both of them, and also on my Gen. 3 Model 26, which came from the factory without night sights. The sight picture on the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns semi custom 1911 customer service

    My Nighthawk GRP Recon had an issue with the slide stop notch peening, and when I called NHC, they told me that they had one batch of slides from the manufacturer that were not properly heat treated. I returned the gun and got it back quickly with the problem solved. No other issues since then...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 grips - need recommendation

    I have the original Gunner grips on all my 1911s. They are about as aggressive as you can get when new, but you can sand them down to suit yourself. Never had any problem with keeping a solid grip, in all kinds of weather and temperatures.

    Steyr AUG A3

    Re: Steyr AUG A3 I bought one back in the day, right after George H. imposed the ban on importing foreign-made weapons. GSI had a shipment already on the way when the ban went in, & after a long fight with ATF & Customs, the rifles were allowed in on the condition that they could only be sold...

    Shooting Glasses?

    Re: Shooting Glasses? I have a pair of Oakleys (half jackets) that I wear for driving, but my shooting glasses are Revisions Sawflys. They give more coverage than the Oakleys, and with the replaceable lenses, the cost is very reasonable for the protection level. As Paulus said, whatever it...

    Wilderness TI Instructors Belt

    Re: Wilderness TI Instructors Belt I have two of the Instructor belts, one with the steel buckle and one titanium, both are 1 1/2". I wear one or the other daily, and I can't really tell any difference in the weight once they are on. Probably not worth the difference for the titanium, IMO. I...

    Re: looking for a .40 cal H&K USP40 for me. I like it much better than the USP45 that my last department issued. Never had a stoppage with either one, but the .40 fits my hand better (and I have small hands).

    Re: I hate fedex I get a fair number of deliveries from both, I have an FFL. Haven't had a problem with FedEX YET, but most of their deliveries are next day shipments of handguns. Guess they are a little more careful with those. Never had a problem with UPS as long as the regular driver is...
