      Browning Hi Power Mark III

      I think the Hi-Power is the best feeling 9mm made. There is just something about it that just feels right. It might be because I also prefer the 1911 platform. I have a mk3 and it has been flawless with over 1500 rounds. In fact I didn't clean it for the first 1,000 rounds just wiped it off...

      Recommended Compact 9?

      The smallest 9mm I have is the Kahr PM 9 and mine has been completely reliable thru about 500 rounds. I have put about 200 hollowpoints thru it of varius makes and it gobbles them up. Redcoil is not bad even with +p rounds. I also have a XD9 compact and it is fairly small but thick. It has...

      How and where do you carry your spare mags?

      Lately I have been putting one spare mag in front pocket holster. I also have belt mag holders.

      What is the BEST 1911 Magazines!

      I have had great luck with either Tripp or Wilson magazines in all my 1911's. Other brands have been spotty and are just for range use.

      Carry Weapon for a large person

      I too am large (6'4" 320) and I think the most important thing for comfort carrying is a good belt and holster and then whatever handgun is most comfortable to you. I have several XDs and they are all reliable and very reasonably priced. I have not shot the M & P series but I have never heard...

      Smith and Wesson 1911

      I love my Smiths. I have two commander sized scandium models and one 3" pro series.

      First 10mm?

      I agree the 10mm is a good carry round. I don't have the p carry that you talked about but I do have the Witness compact and Witness elite match and neither one is anywhere near reliable enough for carry. Maybe eventually but not now. I also have a Smith 1006, a blued Colt delta elite...

      Thoughts and Opinions for the Ruger LCR 357

      I have not seen or handled the LCR .357 in person yet but do have the LCR in .38 and an sp101 in .357. I think the LCR .357 will probably be in my future as I have been very happy with the LCR.38. I think the LCR .38 does a much better job taming recoil then the equivalent j frame S & W...

      Rear sight came loose while shooting!

      The sight should be tighter than that. I would guess that either the dovetail or the sight is out of spec. My buddy had the same thing happen with his Taurus 1911 also. He just lined the sights back up and tightened the allen screw and checks periodically now. His wasn't a carry gun so he...

      Midwest Gun Exchange

      I am a frequent shopper at Midwest and have nothing but good things to say about the place. I normally deal with either Bob or Ryan and they always have provided great service. They have waited on me enough that they even know my preferences and will let me know if something new is in that I...

      Sig or not to Sig?

      I would definately endorse the P226 for a personal protection gun. I have 3 of them, 2 in .40 and one in 9mm. They have been completely reliable, and easy enough to conceal. I have IWB holster and a OWB holster for them and both work well. I would also reccommend that you take a look at CPO...

      you pick my next pistol

      I would suggest a Sig in either 226, 229 or 239. I would look at CPO ones(certified preowned) and get an extra barrel in .357 sig and then you can shoot both calibers. By going used you could have the gun, extra barrel, and a couple of magazines for the price of a new gun. The barrel change...

      Which Midwest Gun xchg

      I heartily endorse the Mishawaka store also. I have bought over 40 guns from them and the service is top notch. Bob and Ryan at Mishawaka do an outstanding job. They have even given me calls when something has come in on the used gun side that they know I would be interested in. I have...

      Fishing line

      If you are looking for monofilament for panfish and the occasional bass fishing, you might want to look at the bass pro shops brand of line. It is fairly inexpensive and you can get it in fairly large bulk spools to fill multiple reels and/or change line often. I am going to use it this year...

      Where are all the BHP MK3's at?

      It would be a little bit of a drive, but I would try calling Midwest Gun Exchange in Mishawaka. That is where I got my BHP MK3 from. They have a huge selection of firearms and normally have a Browning or two in stock.
