  Welcome aboard, Chance. Sorry to hear about the marital situation, and glad to hear that you’re going to teach your daughters about safe and responsible gun ownership. Hopefully they will never need to fire in self defense, but if they do, they will be prepared and in the best position possible to defend [...]

  Exciting Career Changes
  After law school, I moved to Iowa (near the Illinois border) and began working for the Department of Defense legal office where I had interned the previous summer.  While I enjoyed the work and found my colleges to be wonderful individuals, I recently decided that I would rather work in [...]

  LearnAboutGuns posted on the forum topic Dumb question ? in the group Welcome Group:   5 months, 2 weeks ago
  

  I like JImN's red dot scope answer.

  Other than that, I've heard of people who are left eye dominant but right handed having to lean their head further over, so as to align their left eye with the sights…

  I’ve been thinking about buying a SW99 for a while now.. What’s yours chambered for?

  I can’t say I remember seeing you based on that description, but who knows…. If you ever saw me, I was usually on the shotgun/rifle range, since I would often bring my shotguns and pistols to Maxon. I bought two XD pistols from Maxon – a 3” XD40 and a 5” XD40.

  Yeah, too [...]

  LearnAboutGuns posted on the forum topic Newest carry gun. in the group Springfield XD Fans:   5 months, 3 weeks ago
  

  Yeah, the XD is a reliable pistol! But, as Cory (gunsmithcat) would say, I love the XD so much that I could start writing a blog post about my morning coffee, and end up talking about the XD before I got to the end of the first paragraph

  Yep, I’ve been to Maxon many times, and bought a few guns there. We may very well have seen each other there

  Yeah, that was a stunning victory, not just for Brown but for gun owners and country as a whole!

  I would say the XD's recoil isn't too bad, all things considered. For example, I would say my XD40 tactical (5") is no worse than an 1911. My XD40 subcompact (3") has a bit more recoil, but I find it to be much more controllable than a Glock 23. On the subcompact, [...]

  Cory: Hahaha that is so true. Springfield should send me a monthly check, given how often I sing the XD's praises.

  That said, we're in agreement about the superiority of a shotgun for home defense. IMO any handgun is underpowered, and it is just a matter of picking the least underpowered one that [...]

  Yeah, I would say the tactical is a bit big to carry. the subcompact is very concealable, and even the 4" service can be concealed pretty well.

  Hey David, glad to have you on board. You're lucky to be an IN resident. I live in IA now, which has much better gun laws than IL, but still nowhere as good as IN.

  Zach,

  That is an impressive shotgun! Have you seen them available at local gun stores? I haven't seen one, but would really like one.

  Corbon DPX Video Clip
  Below is a video clip in which the Corbon DPX (9mm this time) is discussed and tested.  While the testing is less scientific than the testing I referenced in the last article about the Corbon DXP, it seemed worth posting:

  Very nice Bill.

  One of my favorites by Jefferson is "One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them."
