PPW handgun choice and holster questions

[390 Mach I]

As far as caliber choice I think .45 would be my first choice, followed by a revolver chambered in .41 mag and then a 10mm and then a .40 cal.

I don't really disagree with you, however, with a .45 you are reducing capacity which can come in handy vs multiple BG's. .41mag and 10mm are nice but hard to find and expensive!

This is why I chose .40S&W.

I do love me some .45ACP action and have always wanted a 1911.
Too bad fundage atm is a bit low.

The S&W M&P .45C (Compact) is an amazing weapon from what I hear.

I'm not a big fan of the cross draw solution as that is a cause of painting unintentional targets whilst drawing across your body. It seems to be ok if you are stuck in a car all day long and have to deal with that though.

Not too mention the fact that if the bad guy gets his hands on you and you are cross-armed... Think about that for a few minutes...

It just seems like a bad tactical situation to me.

Same with a shoulder holster...

I carry at the 3:30-4:00 position and I am right handed.

I'm also not a big fan of the Supertuck solution because... well, I just don't want that thing pointed at my package all the time... KnowutImean?

Agreed, but the biggest part of the time, I am in my vehicle. Otherwise I use a pancake, right side.

Comments about Yukon Advanced Optics Sightmark Accudot 300 Laser Boresight:

When we tried these out on pre-schoolers rifles in 300 Winchester, they worked remarkably well. However, caution should be exercised when using lasers around small children as they tend to leave the switch in the "on" position and thereby shorten battery life. Our school is now ordering more so that each child will independently have sighting capability for any new weapons he or she later procures. Thank you Toys-R-Us for stocking this hard to find item!

The most awesome tool in my sons kit

Comments about Yukon Advanced Optics Sightmark Accudot 300 Laser Boresight:

When I got my son an Assault Rifle for his 4th Birthday, my wife was concerned with my sons maturity level, and would he responsibly handle such a deadly tool, and he's surprised us both with how well he takes care of his M4, and this boresight worked great, he even let his little sister borrow it for her SBR build she just completed. Parents who have kids that use rifles, this is a great investment, it teaches your children how to properly care for and tune their rifles.

Worth every penny.

Comments about Yukon Advanced Optics Sightmark Accudot 300 Laser Boresight:

While OK for the .300 Win, my son was disappointed that he couldn't sight in the .50 that his Grandpa got him for his birthday. But he was happy that he could use it in his Accuracy International rig we got him for Chanukah.

Now if he could just shoot as well as his sister can... but she's got a two-year head start on him.

Works perfectly

Comments about Yukon Advanced Optics Sightmark Accudot 300 Laser Boresight:

My 4 year old just couldn't get his AR-15 with the 16.1" barrel sighted in. Even with the adjustable stock he couldn't do more than 5 shots off the bench.

The first time we used this, he was on target with the first shot and on the bull with the second.

We have set this aside in the toy chest for when his new EOTech come in so he can zero that quickly as well.

Great for children of all ages.

Great item, but understand limitations

Comments about Yukon Advanced Optics Sightmark Accudot 300 Laser Boresight:

Great item, my four-year-old was able to get his AR15 "on the paper" with little effort. He quickly learned that it is no substitute for a live-fire sight-in though; he missed hitting the neighbor's dog @75 yards until we zeroed with live rounds.

Great tool, but don't expect miracles.

I can't figure out how to actually shoot the laser beam with I pull the trigger. This conversion kit is a rip off and I would not recommend to ANYONE.

This item keeps the kids at the day-care center paying attention and each kid wants their turn sighting in the guns! What a great thing. The new 3 year old girl now has become an expert shot as a result of using this item.

What a lifesaver! After buying a mini-14 for my daughter on her 2nd birthday we've had nothing but trouble, the stroller is hard to get in and out of the local shooting range, plus she gets cranky after a few rounds and starts slapping the trigger and such. Plus all the smoke/powder from repeated shots and trips to the range (indoor) cause horrible stains on her little outfits. Now she can sight windage in and just adjust for distance without firing a shot.

Doctors vs Gun owners



Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is



700,000.


(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians


per year are


120,000.


(C) Accidental deaths per physician


is


0.171.


Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of


Health and Human Services.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Now think about this:


Guns


(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S.


is


80,000,000.


(Yes, that's 80 million)


(B) The number of accidental gun deaths


per year, all age groups,


is


1,500.


(C) The number of accidental deaths


per gun owner


is


.000188.


Statistics courtesy of FBI


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


So, statistically, doctors are approximately


9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN,


BUT


ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Please alert your friends



to this


alarming threat.


We must ban doctors


before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Out of concern for the public at large,


I withheld the statistics on


lawyers


for fear the shock would cause


people to panic and seek medical attention!

That's good taste right there! I love Ed Browns and plan on getting a Kobra Carry one of these days.

[fjmas1976]

I have two that I rotate on carrying.
-Glock 27 .40 cal with Trijicon Night Sights
-Smith and Wesson 446 (J-Frame) Airweight Revolver .38 cal

I mostly go with an in the waistband holster, but also have the Blackhawk SERPA holster (comes with paddle and belt slide option) to use when I feel like it.

I also have my issued Sig Sauer 226 .40 cal, but only use that on duty and never carry that anywhere else.
