I just got a message from my little brother (ignore the fact he's bigger than me now), saying he wants a handgun too now. I've got a Kel-Tec P11 and a pair of 1911s, my Dad has a CZ PCR. Little brother wants something smaller than Dad's gun, but bigger than my P11. Now I went against everything I ho...

Since I'm pretty much entirely responsible for the topic drift, I'll expand on my initial answer that was actually halfway on topic. Also, thanks for the kind words - they mean a lot, particularly while I'm deployed. There is no such beast as a 100% pistol round. It just does not exist, and until we...

Agreed, and WILCO on all counts.

I'll take/post more when I'm back on the same side of the planet as my 1911s.

I should clarify that I do not believe the sole catalyst for attacks is our mere presence here, there is still the underlying fundamentalism as a root cause. Nor do I dispute an absolute need to maintain stability, but that need not include in excess of 10 brigade combat teams. The change has been g...

McCain may not have been your first choice but he is BY A MILE a better choice if you cherish your right to bear arms. My allegiance is to the entire Constitution, as I am sworn to support and defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic . McCain is no friend of the Constitution, harboring no...

Gotta know my guys will hit their target, both for their own good, and mine. I'm not going to pass off any untrained soldiers to other units, those NCOs have enough to deal with themselves. I just wish more people were focused on being solutions, rather than problems. While I am separating from the ...

Chas.

If there's food involved, I'm game

I wasn't asked, but I'll throw in my .02 for on-bike carry. I don't do the tankbag routine, as it does me little good there if I'm off the bike, unless I take the bag with me. Of course, if there's a loaded pistol in the bag, I'm not leaving it on the bike. Tankbag carry is still less than optimal. ...

Lately a lot of my friends, male and female have asked for my guidance on getting a CHL. It's prompted me to think about becoming an instructor myself, so I can be involved in the entire process. For my Mom, she was getting gas when she noticed things weren't quite right. She stopped pumping, got ba...

I've fought the fight long enough to know better than this. Look, the radical factions of the Muslim faith can no longer even fight effectively against their own people. Witness the Sons of Iraq (formerly Concerned Local Citizens), imagine Neighborhood Watch with solid brass balls (and machine guns....

MySpace was a great way to keep in touch with family in friends (that somehow fail to grasp the much simpler world of email) during my first tour in Iraq. Facebook has proven much more useful to me during this rotation. For the record, I loathe MySpace, but several friends use it for their bands so ...

Not personally, no.

S&W 642LS - I bought it figuring I'd use it when I required something smaller than my 1911s, and maybe teach my Mom how to shoot it (part of the logic behind taking on a LadySmith in the first place, not that the styling or fact that LadySmith happened to be on the frame makes any difference whe...

I second the suggestion to find out what fits your hand well, and what you shoot well. The largest bullet, in the highest magazine capacity on the planet is meaningless if the bullets don't go where they're supposed to go. Should you ever have the misfortune to have to even aim a weapon at another h...
