There is no such thing as accidental discharges, only negligent ones. I carry my G32 and my Sigs in open top OWB holsters. Keep your booker hook off the bang switch and you'll be fine. :lol:

Does you owb have the finger release or is it a fitted leather type? That is the type of holster I want for my Berreta. Ultimately it all depends on how you plan to carry. There are more risky way to carry certain guns, there is a reason why your small 380's and similar guns are double action only.

Have you seen what birdshot does to a human body at 10 feet? im pretty sure its lethal... and if you decide to beat off an intruder with a tennis ball your not going to be thrown in jail haha... self defense is self defense.

 

 

 

 

Birdshot won't kill the intruder.

 

Read the bottom third of the page:

 

http://www.theboxotr...docs/bot3_2.htm

 

And we believe everything on the internet lol, look were all entitled to our opinions, urs is that mine is this...birdshot can and will kill a person...lets move on!

 

Not moving on. I hope you don't give this as advice to people. Birdshot as a SD load is stupid and there is zero room for argument.

 

 

 

If that doesn't convince you how about this?

 

http://en.wikipedia....rry_Whittington

 

He was shot in the face with birdshot and didn't die.

 

And how many thousands of people have survived gunshot wounds form .45's. .223's, 9mm's? I never said it will be 100 percent effective, its the best of both worlds ,self defense and you dont have to worry about killing one of your kids....

Mike I believe in the same thing, but trolling Netflix yesterday I came upon a show called Remington UnderFire. Shows how what I thought was one of the safest rifles in the world, is a waiting boomstick, the Remington 700. An issue with the original trigger block, if anything builds up in the trigger mechanism (not from neglect mind you) if you even touch the bolt/lever it would fire.. not one of them touched the trigger, and the common place was when they switched the safety from ON to OFF the firearm would discharge... Frustrates me, the original designer even said the fix only cost about 5.5 cents when they found it in 1947, and today with 5.5 million rem 700's out there, it would cost about 300 million to fix them all. It scared me, but it was obviously one sided arguement of the tv program, so take it as a grain of sand, any weapon should be treated as if it was loaded and there should never be harm because of it, but this issue with the 700 has caused deaths and many injuries.

That isn't a modern firearm. A modern firearm that has been properly cared for will only go off one way- pulling the trigger.

LAte to the party, but another vote for S&W M&P Shield. Was going to buy one for my wife, and bought one for myself also.

What's "modern" or not is a matter of perspective. There are no absolutes. Would a AR-15 from DPMS or Noveske be "modern"? Most people would say yes. But it was designed before most members here were born...1957. An old gun will kill or make as well as a modern one.

 

None of it matters when it comes to a firearm accident. The only thing that matters is the gun in hand. The bottom line is mechanical things can have problems that lead to accidents. Diligence on safety will always be the best prevention of a tragedy.

Obviously safety is #1 when handling guns. But I'll trust my guns not to go off unless I want them to.

I've got 2 people in the office that have the XDS and love them. My neighbor has a XDM compact and loves it and also has a M&P bodyguard for his old lady. They are all good guns. I'm a big fan of Springfield and S&W myself.

If you want the "BEST" forget the rest and buy a Kimber Super Carry "PRO!" 45 cal. With 230 grain hollow points, it will stop anything with one shot. You don't have to worry about "accidental discharge" with a 1911. 4" barrel and round heel make it easy to conceal. At only 28 ozs. empty, it is as light as some of the "plastic" guns! Made entirely in the Kimber Custom Shop, you won't fine a more accurate gun out of the box! I carry mine every day in a Galco concealed custom outside the waist belt holster. I can wear it all day and forget I even have it on. If you have the money, buy a set of Crimson Trace "Master Series" laser grips for $359.00 on sale now.and you will have the "BEST" home-defense-carry weapon there is! :M16:

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
