    Best handguns for concealed carry in ohio

    Interesting Chris. I certainly understand people choosing a single stack for deep concealment. I included the G26/27 because I personally have no trouble concealing those in any outfit, but I understand people choosing the single stack instead. However your choice of G42 instead of G43 is...

    Best handguns for concealed carry in ohio

    Get a glock 19/23 and a glock 26/27 and you can carry concealed anywhere in any weather. I have many other guns besides these, but have no reason to carry any of them.

    Flinch???

    A good drill to do is to have a friend load your magazines and randomly insert dummy rounds in with your live rounds. This will help you identify the flinches and focus on stopping the flinch. Getting rid of a flinch is a lot harder than developing one so it takes work behind the trigger and...

    How do you value a old firearm

    Agreed. The blue book is a starting point. I often search completed sales on gunbroker.com for another indication of what things actually sell for in the market.

    Henry mares leg .44 magnum

    I thought the current version of Henry rifles were drilled and tapped for a cantilever scope mount. Rifle Scope Mounts | Henry Repeating Arms You could just put a laser on the rail instead of a scope.

    How do you value a old firearm

    How old? I use the blue book of gun values for most pricing questions I have. Post the information on the guns here (or shoot me a private message) and I can try to help you with values. Pictures will also help determine condition.

    Open Carry Tips For Ohio

    Contrary to how I've come off in this thread, I'm not a strong advocate for open carry. I prefer concealed carry and teach students that it is the preferred method. But since I advocate for it being an individual's choice, and because there are legitimate reasons to open carry, I also strongly...

    Open Carry Tips For Ohio

    That's a lesson that open carry requires more than passive retention holsters. Bad guy changes his tune if he pulls on the gun but it's locked in a holster.

    Best gun show in ohio?

    There are 3 shows that happen every month within an hour of me, so I pretty much just stick to them. The Tri-State Gun Collectors show in Lima is probably the best of the 3. Then the Maumee Valley Gun Collectors show in Toledo/Maumee is a close second. I also go to the Stateline Gun Show in...

    Bass pro shops is buying cabellas

    I don't think it will change much to the prudent shopper. Most already know it is typically a rip-off to buy guns and ammo, etc... from a big box retailer. Cabela's and Bass Pro are sometimes good for sales on certain gear from time to time, but for the most part, their usefulness to me is very...

    Training for a shooting situation

    The only thing I would add to what Chris said is also try training with your heart rate up. This will help simulate high stress situations a little more. Run some laps, then shoot.

    Best Gun Range In Ohio?

    That's the best range you can have. I wouldn't trade a personal place to shoot on my property for any fancy range.

    My Glock 43 Review Real Fast

    Well, since it doesn't fit you and you aren't a fan of Glocks, you can always send it my way. My carry guns are all Glocks but I don't have a single stack yet.

    How To Get Automatic Weapons In Ohio?

    Yeah, those rumors come about from the same mistake that was found in this thread. The term "class 3 permit" is a term that refers to when an FFL dealer gets the classification to deal in NFA items they are often called "class 3" dealers. The ATF, as part of the licensing agreement, can search...

    Open Carry Tips For Ohio

    Active shooter scenarios are so fundamentally different from common armed robbery scenarios it's almost not worth discussing. As I have tried to point out from my experience, and I believe the data bears out, is that far more situations/shootings are prevented by a potential guman abandoning...

    Open Carry Tips For Ohio

    I actually see both sides of the argument and won't condemn anyone who chooses to open carry or chooses to concealed carry. On one side of the coin, as Chris said, open carry might make someone intent on doing harm target you first. But on the other hand, most situations aren't a criminal...

    Ccw Classes....certification Or Training?

    His argument misses the point. The instructor's job is not to "make sure they are safe and can hit what they are aiming at", but to give the best possible instruction they can. The requirements of the law as to what a CCW class must have to meet certification is a floor not a ceiling. It lays...
