I give credit to Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch because I heard him say if first and soon thereafter read it in a book written by Massad Ayoob of the Lethal Force Institute :

The best fight is the one avoided.

I really like Masaad Ayoob

If a person decides to threaten someone else's life then their own life is on the table. They have put their own life in as a stake in the gamble.
Now who is to say that if the perp had got the money and was leaving the scene when some innocent person happened to be in the way and got killed. If you had the chance to put the perp down and you didn't, wouldn't you feel bad?

I read, watch and listen to all I can from:

Mass. Ayoob, Clint Smith, Tiger McKee, Tom Gresham, the fine people at Gunsite, Rob Pincus at Valhalla, etc.

My first gun ever, put on different grips. Gives my pinky a place to rest, and looks good. Added many since. :-)

I like it! :-)

:-):-)

I am thinking about getting some crimson trace lazers put on my S&W 642 j-Frame. Anyone have any experiance with them?

I have them on my Glock 23 and love them.

Hmmmm...Should i put them on the J-frame or the S&W M&P .40?

put em on my 642 a month ago and couldn't imagine NOT having them due to the crappy sights on the 642.

Pay the extra 100 bucks for the newer version though, as the older ones don't conceal as well nor have as nice of a button on the grips.

Cool, I was just looking at one like this on the Galco website, think they call it the "Miami Classic," looked nice. That brings up a good question:

What is everyone's preferred CC holster?

I am so proud of myself, I just bought my first hand gun

It is just small Hi-Point 9mm but it's my first. Going to take my class soon for PTC.

Great decision to become a gun owner. Be safe.:-)

I use a SERPA from Blackhawk for all weapons. The double retention feature is very comforting.

Question for the AR guys???

What are your thoughts on the DPMS Mini SASS?

I maybe trading something for a slightly used one, it has a Rock River 2 stage Trigger, Magpul PRS Stock, Mark 4 6.5x20 Leupold, Badger Rings.

What do you guys think its worth in excellent condition?

Thanks

Without knowing anything about the rifle and just seeing it I would say it goes for around 2000 to 2500 maybe 3000 at the most with all the high end extras

Look at this

1600 for the rifle
scope is about 1400 with the rings.

it comes with a good trigger and the PRS so I would not take that in to account when thinking of price. but 2250 to 2750 MAX unless you are getting more then 2 mags.

ETA: just look out for UTG and CAA Items on there as they are low quality, and prone to failure.

Well I decided to make the trade and got the new toy.
